Prof Gautier Of the Institute of
France has isolated the bacteria of
physical fatigue" and finds It a .'polson
strongly resembling ptomaine poison in
nature Instead Of really becoming
tired one develops ptomaines and they
make him think he is tired. The pro
fessor's next step is strictly logical
He proposes by the use of disinfect-
ants to destroy the ptomaines generat-
ed and thus avoid that tired feeling
In this way, no longer suffering from
wear and tear, man need neither weak
en- nor age. Suppose the professor had
cord Of wood to saw. As he pro-
ceeds to wiggle the bucksaw up and
down. he suddenly detects the effects
OF ptomaine poison in his system. He
PUSHES to a little cavity in the wood
pile and drags therefrom a small bottle
of disinfectant with which he treats
the ptomaines. thus relieving his IA
tigue. As we read the professors the
ory and remedy given in recent num-
her Ct the London Express, we detect
the .eyelopment of ptomaines in our
system.

Unless something to avert further
safe robberies is speedily done 1t
seems to us that the manufacturers of
safes ought to give their product an
other name. Tween dynamite and
drills, jimmies and hatchets and axes,
they don't half come up to their high
sounding declaration, and, what's
worse, they don't give a half promise
of ever doing so.

Using, as we know it, has developed.
a retail hardware house in an Eastern
city once found itself possessed of ten
times the number of articles of a GER
tain kind that it had intended to buy.
As they had been ordered especially
for a new hotel, and were of peculiar
design. there seemed to be no way of
disposing of them except at a merely
nominal sum. One of the younger men
connected with the concern offered to
move them" at a fair price, provided
he be permitted to advertise. The sug-
gestiOn encountered much opposition,
but finally a small sum was set apart
TO carry it out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way and the
people soon began to buy the new ar
ticle. Finally the house was obliged |
to send to the manufacturers for more. |
When the next seasons trade opened. |
the member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better write |
out few notices ''and put them in the (
papers, From such beginnings the |
Advertising practice has come. Thous- !
lnds of dollars are now spent, not only
IN advertising itself, but in devising
clever catch-wOrds, ingenious phrases
and Illustrations which will stick in the |
memory of the reader, as well as new
methods. No doubt money may
be wasted in ineffective advertising, or
N advertising worthless goods. But
on the other hand, fortunes are made
where there is in an article a happy
union between publicity and merit.
