Do your own advertising. Make it a study. Study the wants of your trade. When you get something they want let them know it. Do what you say you will, and fortune is yours. Advertising is study, and if a man waits until he has purchased a stock of goods and gets placed on the shelves, and then thinks about talk ing to the people, a school boy could predict his cavernous failure. You can not succeed on your reputation as good writer. You can not suc- ceed on your reputation as a book keeper. You must have other essen- tials, and the chief of these is to get near the buyer, and to inspire that confidence which will induce long, continued mutual good-feeling, and to this end the ERA is yours,

THE city council of Phoenix has passed a most drastic ordinance pro hibiting all kinds of gambling in the Capitol city. Those who participate in any kind of game of chance are subject to fine of from $50 to $500 and from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty days in jail, or both. The proposition of putting the lid on in Phoenix was first submitted to the people at an election. The result was nearly two to one in favor of closing the games. The gamblers have packed their tools, and are leaving for other towns in Arizona and Nevada.

table linen remember thai Irish linen

loses it's gloss. which is it's chief fea-

bleached, and improves with time.
Many housekeepers claim thai the

Fept in tiles ON shelves rather than
in drawers where they are likely TO
become tumbled. If kept on shelves
they should be protected from lust
