Strange, Isn't u?

A woman sees a hat or bonnet IN
milliner's window. 1t is IN the latest
STYLE, so she determines to have that
hat--or one just like 1t.
wants that kind of hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will power,
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes, as it were, femi-
nine Declaration of Independence:
Is it not surprising, therefore, to lind
some few women who still allow their
grocers to choose for them In lmpor-
tant matters like food stutfss
In spite of the fact that grocers, az
rule, have long ago realized the he,
cessity of catering to their customers
rather than their own desires, there are
still a few of the other kind left, who
show marked inclination to persuade
customers to take what they do not
ask for or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the
leader of all package coffees, an estab-
lished favorite for over Twenty-Five
wears in millions of homes, on account
of its absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn t YOU think it impossible
that single grocer can still exist who
would oppose such an invinelble argu-
ment of merit. by trying to persuade
a customer to buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffeee
Loose coffee has no standard of quail
ity-nobody can guarantee that 1t Is
even clean.
Of course. really independent and in
tellipent women know this, and SO do
up-to- date grocers; but if women were
as particular about coffee as about hats.
No kind of grocer could be without
Lion Coffee.

BENJAMIN Franklin as an Advertiser

Benjamin Franklin as an Advertiser.
Everyone knows that Benjamin
Franklin was philosopher and a patri-
OF, and all newspaper men recognize
that he was the first great American
newspaper man, but few realize that
he was good advertiser.
N. w. Aver & Son, the Advertising
Agents of Philadelphia, issued as a
Fourth of July souvenir a handsome
booklet, under the title Of In the
Land of Benjamin, which sets forth
many most interesting facts regarding
Franklin, and features as only an adj
vertising agency could, Benjamin S adj
vertising ideas and practices. Frank
lin s shrewd sense in using the printed
page to tell people what he wanted
them to know. made him an excellent
example for the business men of all
time
The book abounds in many facts con-
corning the most interesting man in our
history and brings out in clear light
his grasp and use of the advertising
idea.
The house of N. w Aver & Son, in
the Land Of Benjamin, has a history Of
its own and methods Of its own. 1t is
no dispara cement to others. to say that
it has done more advertising and more
to develop newspaper advertising than
any other firm IN history

corded today, was, like George B. Cor

ling Of the office Of secretary to the
president. The style of office in La
mont's time was that Of private secre-
tary, but congress dignified it by in
creasing the compensation and changing
the title to, that Of secretary to the
president. The latter is the proper title
as the secretary is public function
airy and has nothing to do with the
president s private affairs.
The secretary principal business is
taking care of the president s. time. He
it is who arranges the president g day
and decides who may see him, at what
hour and for how long. In addition he
conducts and is responsible for the i'm
mense correspondence Of the White
House, nearly all Of which relates to
the affairs of the nation.
Some people have lately called the
secretary an assistant to the president,
but this is not only constitutionally, but
physically impossible. The president
tive office in his name. He cannot dele
gate any part of it to an assistant or
even to cabinet officer. Congress may
by law divert some powers from one ex-
ecutive officer to another, but cannot
tamper with the powers Of the presi-
dent without his consent. :,
The office Of secretary becomes of
! Importance only when "a man of excep.
tional ability occupies the position. This
has not happened often Lamont was
undoubtedly man Of real capacity, and
yet some of his prominence came from
the. fact that he served a president who
had never seen Washington before his
Inauguration and who enjoyed the per.

politics had been so rapid that there
had been no time for him to make &C

friendships, at the capital. Lamont
