CUMULATIVE VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Intcrestlng Suggestions From a Promi
nent Advertising Manager.

Interesting Suggestions From a Promi-
nent Advertising Manager.
Some advertisers overlook the cumu-
lative value of advertising. By cumu-
lative 1 mean that power and value in
advertising that gains in force as the
advertising proceeds.
Advertising is augmented and given
force by successive insertions. Bacon
wrote: GAS for knowledge which man
receiveth by teaching it is cumulative,
not original''
A single large advertisement may
not amount to much in results. It may
not do the business. The article ad-
vertised is soon forgotten and it's effect
quickly lost among the hundreds OF
other advertisements published daily
by the average newspaper. But follow
one advertisement with another; keep
hammering; let one blow follow an
other in rapid succession and results
| will come. ...
When least expected the policy Of
persistent advertising will be produc-
| tive of results that can neither be de-
stroyed nor forgotten.
Don't try the costly experiment of
putting all your money into one big
advertisement and then quitting be-
cause of disappointing results. Divide
your energy and your money. Follow
a line of systematic work. Be patient,
but be tenacious Success may come
slowly, but if the proposition adver-
tised possesses merit it will be sure

BEAUTY TALK.

Eat what you like and all you want
of it is a good rule for those who
want to develop the bust and get stout
across the chest and full in tho shoul-
ders.
Milk, if it agrees with you IS good
and chocolate is thousand times bet
ter.
There are institutions for the cure of
nervous patients where the whole diet
is chocolate and cocoa. and in these
chocolate cures the patients rest and
get we'll.
The breakfast foods are good, if one
likes them and can assimilate them.
But the patient must experiment un-
til she gets one that agrees with ler.
All do not agree with all persons,
says the st. Louis Republic.
Eating fruit is good for the person
of poor digestion and for the woman
with a narrow chest. But she must
not eat it before meals in sufficient
quantities to take away her appetite.
Many delicately constructed persons
can eat no breakfast after they have

not try to eat fruit before their meals.
Sleeping a great deal develops the
! figure while it quiets the nerves, and
| it is as good a tonic as one could de-
| sire.
But, in the lesson Of the development
of the figure, deep breathing is the first
thing to be learned and the last thing
to be forgotten.
Unless you can breathe deeply and
hold your breath long time you can
not hope to attain perfection of lung
development.
Deep breathing consists Of takin;
air into the lungs and of expe]!ing i
fully.
The lungs are then inflated with ali
which is in turn expelled. It is th'
ordinary process of breathing, but done
in an extraordinary manner.
You must learn to completely empt.
the lungs and you must learn to fl
them to their very depths.
You are probably in the habit o
only half using the lungs. while i,
deep breathing you must use the en-
tire lung capacity.

Forget Your Stomach.

Out door life, fruit and berries in plenty.
light clothing and a change from the
hearty diet of winter make the summer
months the best time OF the whole year to
cure dyspepsia.
A Mi-o-na tablet taken after each meal
will soothe and heal the inf1amed stomach
lining, aid in assimilation and digestion;
will increase the vitality and give strength
and tone to all the digestive organs, so
that you can forget your stomach. Milo
ma is the one remedy for the cure of dys-
pepsia that is sold on an absolute guaran-
tee by Henry Evans to refund the money
in case it does not cure.
If after you have used Mi-o-na for a
month you do not feel satisfied that 1t has
done all you expected. take back the empty
boxes (each box contains two weeks treat
ment) to Henry Evans and he will refund
your money without question. The risk Is
all his, and you are the sole Judge as to
whether the remedy costs you anything
or not.

brated the Feast Of st. Augustine with
solemn services yesterday. high mass

the benediction Of the blessed sacrament.
The eulogy of the saint was delivered by
Rev. ]. D. MARI, pastor Of the Church OF
the Immaculate Conception. He reviewed
ST. Augustine's life and works. and spoke
of him as one Of the beacon lights OF
Christianity.
In picturing St. Augustine in his search
for truth before his conversion, rather
Mari said:
He was a man of wonderful penetration.
who, in his struggle to find the truth. de-
voured every bit of knowledge with which
he came in contact. He grasped an idea
the very bottom. He was always striving
after the truth, even in the days of his
young and evil life. This same search 1t
was which led him into the heresy of the
Manicheans, upon which he expounded his
doctrine of the principle of good being re-
sponsible for the good in man, and the
principle of evil being responsible for the
evil in him. with no responsibility for evil
attaching to the element of good. 1t was
his adherence. in early life, to that erro-
neous reasoning that caused him to go to
the excuses in sin which marked that part
of his career.
'At the age of thirty three st. Augustine
was baptized by st. Ambrose at Milan In
the year 1867. Having found the truth, he
embraced it, studied 1t until he had mas
tered it and then expounded It,

Theme Of DR.. Buffers Discourse.

THE Kingdom Of God" WAS the text of
the sermon preached yesterday morning at
the Luther Place Memorial Church by the
pastor, Rev. ]. G. Butler, who had just re-
turned from his vacation at Mountain Lake
Park, Md. The speaker referred to the
wonderful power Of God, seen everywhere,
in everything.
In the course Of his remarks he said:
1.-The first and all-important question that
confronts each individual in the world to-
day Ia, Are you a subject Of the kingdom of
God?
I'm all of Christ's ministry, He spoke very
little about the church. His sermons were
always pertaining to the kingdom of God
a kingdom whose law is righteousness, and
which is ultimately to fill the whole earth.
To seek 1t first should be the prime end
and purpose of life"

Referring to Jacobs determination to re-

There is desire in the heart of every

termination. They make resolutions to be
good and forget all about 1t the next day.
There are resolutions of the emotions and
