To Advertise Porto Rico.

From the san Juan news.
At the suggestion Of Commissioner Fish
back, the chamber of commerce OF Porto
Rico have decided to send eight representa-
tive merchants to the United States to
confer with like commercial bodies of the
principal cities on the main land. with a
view of promoting the commercial rela-
items between the island and the country at
large. This at any time should bring forth
good results. and at this time, just as our
coffee has been given prominence by re-
ceiving the highest award at the exposition,
it Is most opportune. The award given the
island is a valuable advertisement for our
coffee. But, like all advertising, It must
be followed up. Little good results follow
an advertisers efforts. IL he simply makes
one big announcement and then stops en-
tirely. Business men and merchants have
found that to make advertising pay, 1t
must be persistently continued. And so II

TREES OF TIE

The forestry bureau at Manila,

S. A., is an inheritance from the
Spanish government, says Science. 1t
was established some 80 years ago and
through it's officers and employees
supervises the government forest prop
erty, which is estimated to comprise
between 20, 900, 900 and 40, 900, 900 acres.
The Philippines are known to possess
over 400 species of trees, and a more
careful survey will bring the number
nearly to 500. Of these at least 81
are valuable, the Yangylang tree be-
ing considered among the most I'M
portant. This furnishes an oil which
forms the base of many renowned per-
fumes. On the island of Romblon a

INTERFERING
WITH A THEORY

Mrs. Graham is a lady of the old
school. She obeyed her parents when
she was young and afterward success
fully brought up six children of her own
who came when they were called and
otherwise betrayed an active belief in
the theory that the maternal word was
law and the end of all things.
: Therefore. Mrs. Graham took 1T hard
when her third daughter, Susan, be-
came a convert to the new theories
on the proper way of disciplining jul
Iveniles and developing their intellects.
lSusan's ~9-year-old daughter Alkaline,
WAS going to grow to maturity with
out the humiliation of corporal pun
iishment, without the breaking OF her
proud spirit, without the crushing of
her originality into conventional
molds. AT least, that is how Susan
explained her theories to her mother
when Mrs. Graham demonstrated at
Adaline's elevating her muddy boots
to a resting place on a new $40 Per-
sian sofa pillow adjoining her grand
mothers davenport. Mrs. Graham had
suggested the old-fashioned application
of the back of a hairbrush as suitable
to the case, but Susan had cast up hel
hands in horror.

SOME VAGARIES or TIE DAY

She herself sometimes declares that
ali this luxury seems like a passing
dream. In her heart she believes that
it is awesomely extravagant to wear
silk gowns for everyday, and she
thinks that tatting is quite as good
a finish for neck and sleeves as this
real lace that can never be washed
with honest yellow soap and water.
But I've got to live up to my son Will
Jams idees," she says with a comical
sigh. Though sometimes I do jest
long for a dinner of corned beef and
cabbage instead of one of these here
course things where l get hungry
while they're changin' plates"
Then for a little while she is silent.
Perhaps she is thinking of the time
when those little knotted hands were
red and hard from toll and those lit
tie feet were always a-weary from con
slant trudging on the farm. Then she
bursts into another peal of laughter.
But the most ridiculous thing Will
lam and Matte has tried yet was to
say | must have a maid all to myself

fuss around and do up my hair and
lace my shoes and all them kind OF
things.

WHERE WOMEN RE-
TAIN THEIR NAMES

Elizabeth Cady Stanton declares that
a woman should keep her family name
through life and not have it merged
in that of her husband. Mrs. Stanton
would be delighted with the custom
pertaining in the Channel Islands,
those remnants of England's French
empire lying off the coast of France.
In the Channel Islands the woman
does not change her name on mar
riage; no matter how often she changes
partners, she carries her maiden name
with her to the grave.

When a cheerful. brave and light-hearted woman is sud-
denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
It is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, expert
encing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi-
ness, and pa%lpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down
feeling is d~readfully wearing.
Her husband says, CHOW, don't get the blues You will
be all right after you have taken the doctors medicine"
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by
day, until all at cnce she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith hope vanishes; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues: She should have been told
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.
