apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree INTO a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
1t needed sunshine and the kind of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus given-in other words, the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build
ings-thirteen or fourteen in number
covering many acres of ground, en-
ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise is less than years old. We
have found it necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine
day in and day out. month in and
month out, the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately million
dollars a year for advertising, for ex-
perience teaches that if you mature
the tree under strong sunshine, and
bring it up to a thrifty and healthful
state where it produces profitable ap-
pies, you can not withdraw that sun
shine else the tree will gradually die.

THIS WOMAN KNOWS
WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DIScoV-

Mrs. De Long Finds That the indie
scribabIe Pains of rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 16O
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa,
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter of 1896.
She gave the doctor a chance to help
her, which he failed to improve, and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting of her own. She was so
successful that she deems it her duty
to tell the story of her escape from
suffering:
My brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject of DR..
Williams Pink Pills as a purifier of
the blood, and when l was suffering
extreme pains in the joints of my an
kles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows,
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, | began to reflect that rheuma-
tism is a disease of the blood, and
that if DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
s. good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth

had suffered in this way for weeks
before l began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after l began
with them l experienced relief and
after l had taken six boxes I was en-
tirely well. To make sure l continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
eral years have had no reason to
use them for myself, but l have rec
commended them to others as an ex-
cellent remedy"

Chaplain Subdues Bully.

Father Reany, chaplain of the Uni
ted States receiving ship Hancock,
moored in the Brooklyn navy yard,
is a fine specimen of the muscular
Christian skilled boxer and all
around athlete. The other day he
found it necessary to teach the ships
bully a lesson. The fellow, a new
importation, had been tyrannizing
over some small apprentices, when
the chaplain stepped up and sent him
sprawling with handsome jolt on
the jaw. One such caress was quite
enough for the bully, who picked him
self up and hurried out of reach. Then
the clergyman went aft and reported
himself to the officer in charge as
having been engaged in a squabble
forward. The bully made no COM
plant, so that was the last of it.

TALK ON ADVERTISING


Some thoughtful man might say that
If what you manufacture has merit,
once you get a trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase, even If
the advertising is stopped. but to act
on that conclusion would be fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap
pies, and if you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let US drive nail,
not a shingle nail but a forty penny
spike Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary I'M
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

The sunshine that makes business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz-
ing and life-g giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
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 l 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 a new kind of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty of it. We knew we had good

it will be found to possess exceptional
merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but necessary evil, and that it
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, so that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make little money by inserting pub
lie announcements. A paper run that
way to-day would fail.
The most successful opponents OF
the new plan Of doing business with
ink and paper are using every posi-
BILE means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
1t is safe to say that thousands OF
women read the newspaper-not the
Geographic page, but the pages con-
tanning announcements Of bargains in
stockings, skirts, hats, gloves, pianos.
furniture, food for the table, etc.
You have been invited to visit Bat
tie Creek for the purpose Of viewing
one of the most unique advertising
buildings in the world, also to look
over a large business built up, sus-
tanned, nourished and kept active by
sunshine, and, at the same time. have
an opportunity to see one of the most
! thrifty, active and prosperous towns
of its size in the world, built up large

woAD GROWN IN BOSTON.
Dye Boadicea Used Still Raised in

1t is not generally known that woad,

with envy when we learned that the
ancient Britons stained themselves

as dye.
The neighborhood of Boston and OF
Wisbech in Lincolnshire are the
places where the industry survives.
The seed is sown early in April, on
little entertainments, and the plants
grow from three feet TO four feet
high. The cultivation is laborious, as
the ground has to be weeded con-
stantly, and to do this men and wom-
en- work on their hands and knees.
The harvest goes on from August
till November, the plants being pulled
in a green state as they come to
their full height To insure their COM

intermittent.
The juice is crushed out by heavy
wheels working in a trough, and is
peculiarly poisonous to other plant

dye for cloth is obtained in this way.
