The Chattanooga Advertising.

The Chattanooga Medicine Company, with lab
oratoiies and general offices at Chattanooga,
renn., and branch houses at st. Louis, Mo and
San Francisco, Cal has become one of the largest
proprietary medicine concerns in the world. In
the growth of this great business two factors have
been dominant: The merit OF its products-Wine
of Cardui and Thedfords Black Draught-has
been widely recognized and the original adver-
Using methods adopted have excited great com
ment. The publicity for these medicines does
not consist of the catch phrase and extravagant
statement too often employed in advertising
today, but instead the plain story of experience
with the medicine given in the plain language of
the people themselves. The following letter is a
fair sample Of the thousands of Wine of Cardui
testimonials published during the past twenty

STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
Nan Would Have to Perform Pro-
digiOus Feats to Show Proper
tiOnately Equal Power.

Everyone in general way knows Of
the astonishing muscular power en-
ployed by insects, and of the real tours
de force which they execute either in
the pursuit of prey or in defending
themselves against their enemies. At
the same time one rarely has precise
idea of the strength of these insects be-
, cause there are few standards of COM
parison, although nothing is simpler
than to make a correct valuation of their
strength, says Public Opinion.
The wing strength of insects is known
because of the work of Felix Plateau
and De Lucy, who showed that these
little creatures could not raise weight
much heavier than themselves, no mat
ter what the surface of their wings.
During the course of these experiments
very interesting fact was discovered,
namely, that the size of the wing de-
creases as the weight and size of the
animal increases, fact which explains
the SLOW heavy flight of the beetle and
the swift, light movement of the gnat.
The case is entirely different, how
ever, WnSI6 Iuo CISdIule lnONoo Oh a
solid surface where it's six feet may OBJ
tain points of support. In this case we
can approximately calculate the force
exercised. Take, for example, fly by
the wings, leaving the legs free so that
they may seize and raise a match. If
man wished to perform relatively equal
labor he would have to raise beam
241a feet long by 141s inches square.
The earwig harnessed to small chari

es, which for large percheron horse

and thick as himself. The man who
leaps the 300 meters of the Eiffel tower
| is merely repeating the action of the
| flea, which can leap 200 times its own
height Finally the Hercules is obliged
to raise so large locomotives to equal

force of Is Kilograms. Thus it is mucn

strength of insects than to equal it, and

with animals occupying very humble
positions in the living world.

CARELESSNESS IN DRESS.
Characteristic of Some Men of Wealth
That Is Merely an At
fectatiOn.

Many wealthy men affect carelessness
in dress, and it may truly be said that
they can afford to do anything, but they
are the very men who require that their
employees shall dress so well that the
public will imagine they are well paid,
says Success. The first impression
made by a man in business life is the
most important. When he enters the
presence of another man he studies him
no less than he is being studied in turn.
Each unconsciously takes the measure
of the other, and each quickly forms an
opinion.
The Importance of making that first
impression a favorable one cannot be
overestimated. 1t helps toward the OBJ
ject to be gained. The nicely ''groomed,"
cleanAGut man, dressedin good taste, and
carrying himself with that confident air
of gentility which is inseparable from
good attire, feels sure of his ground,
and can talk with the man who is his
superior in a business sense without
displaying those many little evidences
of uncouthness which creeps out in ones
uIeSS, speech anu ndnueI. IL YOU nave
an important part to play in your bust
ness life, remember that you must dress
up to it. The shabby and the shiftless,
the unshaven and unrefined cannot rise
above the mediocre. They are the men
who fill the want" columns of news
papers and who ply those callings
where no previous experience is re-
quired," and where applicants are in
formed that 500 a week can be made
without the slightest knowledge, effort
or skill

AIR FOR SKYSCRAPERS.
Delivered Fresh Into Tall Business
Buildings Like Water or
Electricity.

Hundreds of men and women are
boxed up all day long in little cages
on every floor of the modern office
building. Yet this mass of huddled' hu-
mainly never suffers from any lack of
fresh air. The ventilation is perfect,
fact which often surprises foreign
architects, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The delivery of fresh air into sky
scraper is as big business as the de-
livery of water or electricity. 1t is not
left to chance. Cold, fresh air is forged
into the building by blowing engine
and passes through large ducts and
controlling registers to the different
rooms. In winter this air is heated
by passing through coils of steam
pipes.
Often the blower is arranged to de-
liver both hot and cold air, and the
ducts are provided with mixing valves
which can be set to combine the two
blasts in any required proportion.
ly the temperature called for by the
weather.
Bad air is got rid of by wall regis
tiers near the floor through which the
vitiated air escapes into duets which
lead to a large common outlet above
the roof. These ducts may be of sheet
iron or they be of tile built in the
wall-like chimney fues. Sometimes
they are large spaces inclosed in the
upper parts of the corridors by false
ceilings.
In other cases the bad air is taken
to the basement and discharged by an
exhaust fan into a tall outside shaft
used for that purpose only.
