Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery.
Organs are taken out and scraped
and polished and put back, or
they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins,
antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation
sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in
one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an anti
septic and when applipd to such
injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also allays the
pain and soreness. Keep a bot
tie of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the in
convenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by

of 1t. I am speaking seriously now,

the salt.
"The Westerner, to accomplish his
deception, plants on toward the end
of the summer q crop of late potatoes

and are dug up Just before the first

There are many imitation foods"
the grocer ended. 1--WE have imita-

TALK ON ADVERTISING


The sunshine that makes a business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing business nowadays Is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant 1t in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz'
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to rlpen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine Of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is a good illus
tration of that law. 1t seems but a
short time ago when put few men
at work in the carriage house Of the
barn you have seen to-day where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than 9
years ago, was new kind Of apple
seed and it vas not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty Of 1t. We knew we had a good

Some thoughtful man might say that
II what you manufacture has merit,
once you get trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase, even IL
the advertising is stopped, but to act
on that conclusion would be a fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap.
pies, and II you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not single nail but forty penny
spike. Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary un-
advertised thing. 1t should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
a foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per.
sons ignorant enough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into
a success. 1t cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critically examine
any well known and advertised article
that has been years on the market and

One of Natures Freaks

One of Natures freaks, in the shape
Of reed fish, is on exhibition in a Sc
attic curio shop on the water front.
This interesting specimen may be best
described as half animal and half veg.
etable life. 1t is six feet long. The
reed apparently grows out Of the fish,
while the latter carries covering
over the reed, hence the dual animal
and vegetable life. This reed fish
was taken on Hood canal last week
by a tugboat man. 1t stands erect in
pools Of salt water. Though long and
1.-THE and to every appearance a veg
etable product, the thing has a head
and eyes. 1t was caught with a sal

In the beginning Sylvia had COM
planned to her husband one evening
as he slipped on his top coat:
II don't gee why you won't ever
wait and see Bert. Do you know, we
have a great deal in common; we are
very much alike"
"As woman, Sylvia, you're po-
en-" replied Mr.. Browne, picking up
his stick. "As a man, you'd be tame
cat. For myself, don't like cats"
Unfortunately, Mr.. Browne was kept
extremely busy at his Office these
days, and so Bertram, with his fine,
distinguished airs, his poetical tastes,
his immaculate grooming. was able
to make his innings. From the early
discovery that they were affinities, 1t
wasn't a great step to prove to Sylvia
that the laws of God and man were
interfering things at times and upon
proper provocatlon could be set aside.
Great love, like yours and NINE"
he announced to her one day, "is born
of the vastness and loneliness Of the
sea, and makes human conventions
utterly pointless."
Mrs. Browne was very unhappy and
miserable in spite of this uplifting an
nouncement. One morning at break
fast, as she was dangling cherry by
its stalk just above her pretty lips
and making little snaps at 1t, her eyes
somehow fingered admiringly upon
her husbands chin. 1t was such a
firm, manly chin, and, after all, she
was such an undecided, dependent

self. Yes, she would ask mis- advice
about the momentous question that
was knocking at her door for decls.

One time the sea was wide-so wide

One man who fought his doubling crew

Their work had barred,
One time the plains were dull and still
And all untrod.
And men gazed at each distant hill
With doubling nod
But one man braved the lonely miles,
Blazed. pathways through the forest
aisles;
Men went his way in eager files;
With chain and rod
They marked the place for mart and mill
Upon the sod

Secure from harms
In fear OF tolls tremendous test
Or wars alarms.
Who hugs. interrupted. his safe hearth.
Gives little proof OF strength or worth.
His pride is strangled In its birth
And sluggard charms

what 1t means" He paused, then went
on measuredly:
ITO be sure, Sylvia, II your friends
husband were a beast, or brutal to
her, or didn't support her, she might
get divorce in conventional order.
For myself, I'm not in for divorces;
though that's matter Of taste, may
be. But II she leaves him and runs of
with another man-why, do you real
lie what that would mean to a nice
woman"
What would It mean?" Sylvia be-
gan nervously to punch holes In the
sofa cushion with her scarfpin.
That for the future her friends
must be among a set Of people who
really are what she is merely called;
that the man for whom she sacrificed
everything couldn't sacrifice enough
for her to point out to her that duty
was stronger than love. Love isn't
everything, dear"
There was a certain big, caressing
tone in his voice which unconsciously
made Sylvia bark back to the old
honeymoon days before she had dis
covered that marriage with him was
"a mockery." She took out her hand
kerchief, a ridiculous bit of lawn and
lace, and touched her eyes furtively.
That's from the worlds viewpoint"
he continued. Then, there's the hus-
band. Judge from what you say he
isn't wholly a rum lot. Perhaps
even II he hasn't very fine, poetic
tastes-perhaps he also realizes that
he bores the woman he loves. Maybe
he does love her In spite of his blunt,
ordinary brusqueness. Maybe he thinks
all day at the Office how, II this or
that deal goes through, It'll mean
more dainty Injuries for her. Maybe
he hurries home after business hours
so that he can put on his dinner
clothes, knowing that pleases her fas-
tldious tastes and makes him a bit
more congenial to her. Perhaps, even
IL he does pick up his newspapers,
and doesn't read poetry to her, it's a
kind Of paradise merely to have her
in the room with him. Some men are
made like that, you know"

appeared. The czar, crowned and
bearing the sceptre, was seated in a
baby carriage drawn with thread by
his mother. The point was plain
enough, and caused much restrained
amusement among the courtiers; but
