NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

For a number of years I advertised
only in my window and some in the
street cars. because 1 did not feel that
could afford to advertise in the daily
papers. Two years ago last September
was having a cravenette coat sale,
and l succeeded in selling for a couple
of weeks about fifty coats a day. I
thought 1 would try a column ad in
one Of the evening papers. The next
day this column ad appeared in one of
the evening papers. and by the bye, it
was not the one that has the largest
circulation in Chicago; I selected the
paper that this ad appeared in be
cause they gave me a low rate, but
they agreed to give my ad good po-
sition in the paper. The result was
that the next day the sales, which for
merly had been about fifty coats a
day. jumped to 142, and in fifty days
sold over $500 raincoats.
For the year following that sale
continued to advertise in this one pa
per. Last fall felt that I could af-
ford to invest, say. about $4,000 in ad-
vertising in some of the other papers
used three morning papers and three
evening papers, the best in Chicago
The results have been something phe-
nomenal. I did not have to invest So
600. The profits came back from the
newspaper advertising before their
bills came in. and do not figure to-
day that I have a dollar invested IL
advertising. In my opinion, the only
way to advertise is to give them plain
common sense talk. Tell them the
truth. Do not get a customer to come
to your store and find that you have
faxed him, for that is poor advertising

DE BRAIE WANTS
LAKE FRONT PARK
Fears Shore Land Will Be
Held at Premium IF
Bowser Bill Passes.

Mayor DeBraie and several Of the
members OF the city council met at
the mayors office yesterday morning
and discussed further the matter Of
securing a site for a lake front park.
1t is said that the mayor and coun-
cilmen are so thoroughly convinced
that Senator's Bowser's bill, providing
for the reclamation OF submerged lake
land. will pass that they are going to
take time by the forelock and secure
a site before the land in the vicinity
Of Indiana IIarbor is all gobbled up
or the price raised to prohibitive
figure.
Some time ago Mr.. Mailing of the
Fest Chicago company, indicated the
willingness OF the company to sell a
portion of its lake frontage to the city
for park purposes, but the council did
not realize the Importance of taking
immediate action in the matter and it
| has been a question whether the land
could be secured at the price that was
made at that time.
This morning, however Mr.. Mailing
was present at the conference of the
mayor and councilmen and while he
would not commit himself 1t is I'M
derstood that the land may still be
bought at a fair price The East Chi
cago company's land is just east of
the South Bay hotel and would be
very accessible for park purposes.
There are other sites under con-
| sideration, however, and Mayor De-
Braie is determined that a site for q
park shall be purchased at once to
avoid the payment of a larger sum
later on He estimates that the city
would receive a good interest on the
investment whether the land was con-
verted into park or not and so there
is no danger Of its being a losing ven
ture.

Robert Mack, the comedian OF the
BLACK Crook" company to be seen at
the Towle opera house, Saturday, Feb.
2 is or rather was dog fancier until
few days ago. 1t came about in this
way. He fell in love with and pur-
chased a likely looking bull pup some
weeks ago, which he set about to
teach cute things Among these was
the act of sitting up and speaking at
his masters command. The dog &C
companied his master to and from the
theatre but not being old enough to
appreciate talent, he usually spent his
time at the theatre asleep in Mr.
Mack's dressing room. One evening,
however, he became restless and dur
ing the third act wandered into the
wings. All went well until the heavy
part of the scene came where the hero.
heroine and william get into a wordy
war, the william making some sassy
remarks about the leading lady who is
commanded by the hero to resent them.
Mr.. Mack's lines go something like
| this: Il command you to speak,
speak" When Mr. Bull Dog, who was
watching the action of the play, heard
the word speak coming from his
master, he thought it was his cue and
at once dashed on to the stage. as
sumed a sitting posture and proceed
ed to bark loud and long. There was
a pause, then roar of laughter from
the audience and wild dash by Mr.
Mack and the dog. After a few min
utes matters quoted down and the
play proceeded. Since, then. however
Mr.. Bull Dog spends his evenings or

Dust Causes the Explosion Which
Snuffs Out So Many - Res
cuers Hard at Work with
Little Hope.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 30.-With
a detonation heard for miles around,
and debris hurled hundreds of feet in
the air, dust in the Stuart mine near
Fayetteville exploded, bringing a ter
rible death to the eighty or more men
below the surface. There IS no chance
that any Of the men will be taken out
alive, for it is thought that the terrific
force of the explosion snuffed out their
lives instantly. 1t will not be posi-
BILE for the rescuers to reach the bot
tom Of the shaft in less than forty
eight hours. The disaster is perhaps
the worst in the number of killed IN
the history of this state.
Many of the Victims Married.
Most of the men were native whites
and many of them were married and
had large families. There were a doz-
en- or more colored men and fifteen or
more aliens. The rescue work was
commenced as soon as the wrecked
parts of the shaft house could be re-
paired About two hours after the ex-
plosion three men were lowered into
the shaft in an improvised bucket. Be
fore descending sixty feet two of the
men were overcome with foul air, and
the third was barely able to give the
signal to his comrades at the top. All
further attempts were abandoned for
the time.
Mine Has but One Shaft,
The Stuart mine has but one open
ing, although an entry has been driv-
en- to connect with the parallel mine a
short distance away. This work has
been about accomplished. The Stuart
shaft has three compartments, two for
the cages and one for an air shaft.
| One Of the coal cages had been taken
out for repairs, leaving the compart-
ment clear, and it was not damaged.
1t was through this that the three men
attempted to descend in the imprOvised
bucket. Smoke and dust poured into
| the air for hundreds Of feet from the
ventilating compartment, and it was
wrecked. 1t is stated that nearly all
the men were at work in the entries
near the bottom Of the shaft

pininfection of stahIe..

diseases have been Is frequently the

MANY failures to eradicate tuberculosis
from dairy herds by the repeated appli-
cation Of the tuberculosis test and the
prompt removal of all reacting animals
are due to the fact that the stables
were not dislnfected." Tuberculosis
spreads rapidly among cattle closely
herded together. To prevent this sta
bles should be thoroughly disinfected at
least once a year.

The Manure Heap.
Though by fermentation and by fork
ing over the manure Is made fine and
soluble, 1t must not be overlooked that
the process is a gradual one, and hence
every rain that saturates the heap car
ries downward the soluble parts as
soon as the manure Is decomposed.
The jet-black liquid that flows on
from the heap Is the richest OF the
farm. and as 1t passes away the ready
plant food which Is dissolved In 1t Is
lost, leaving behind mass Of matter,
often supposed to be the most valuable
because of Its bulk, but which really
Is not worth the labor of hauling to
the field. Unless the manure, therefore,
be carefully preserved, 1t will be value
less. 1t should be protected from
drenching rains and the influence OF
heat from the direct rays of the sun
Plenty of absorbent material should be
added to absorb the volatile matter
and water Is also beneficial to the
heap, provided that 1t does not drench
or flow of. The manure heap should
be worked over occasionally, In order
to prevent "fire-fanging." This may
require additional labor, but the saw
Ing of the essential elements Of the
manure will be more than a compen
sation for the time well expended. Tht
principal rules to be observed are t.
prevent loss by rain, preservation O
volatile matter with moisture and alb
sorbents, have the manure fine. and
also to endeavor to have 1t thorough!
decomposed.

Maurice Materlinck. the Belgian
writer, adduces q number of interest
ing facts, in an article In Harper's
Magazine, to show that bees have the
power of thinking. Transported to CAL
ifornia. he says. our black bee COM
pletely alters her habits After one or
two years. finding that summer Is per-
petual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey and pollen indis-
pensable for the days consumption ;
and her recent and thoughtful observa-
ton triumphing over hereditary expel
rience, she will cease to make provis-
ion for her winter. Buchner mentions
an analogous fact: In Barbados, the
bee whose hives are in the midst of the
refineries, where they find suger dur
ing the whole year, entirely abandon
their visits to the flowers

the colored suede have become too pop

summer visitins.

II you contemplate visit this sum-
mer, do not swoop down on some tired
woman who Is always busy and remain
with her for weeks at time. Moth
ers should not allow their daughters to
90 visiting and remain too long. This
pleasure Of visiting Is 30 greatly
abused that 1t is almost humbug. We
all like our friends to call and visit
u, and some we really desire to have
with US longer than they can remain,
but every woman who must do her own
work should not be burdened with
summer visitors. They will be cour-
teous and kind, but week or ten days
IL the longest any woman should re-
main at house as guest unless the
invitation was extended for a longer
period. II you go with your children,
and little visitors can be great
charge, do not make the hostess anx-
ious on their account; look after your
own children; she has work of her
own. And do not leave home and send
your children to the grandparents to
annoy them when they need their vaca-
ton. This is one of the great faults
Of the average American mothers, and
they make grandmother bear the brunt
Of caring for the children. Be reason
able about 1t. If daughter goes to
visit friends, write the hostess she is
In her charge and must conform to the
rules and regulations Of the household.
Many young girls often abuse the priv
ilege of the hostess home, and are
never welcome again. And don't think
you are playing joke on any woman
to swoop down on her with we'll
packed trunk to remain for several
weeks She will be surprised, but NOT
agreeably 30.

Morbid Women.

When people have real trouble to
contend with they do not sit down and
analyze their emotions and remember
whether this person or that person
looked to the right or to the left when
they spoke to them, and exactly what
the tones of their voice and the eleva-
ton Of their eyebrows meant, as the
morbid woman does.
Morbidness should be accounted a
wicked demon that can be driven out
Healthy companlonship, laughter, long
walks In the sunshine and plenty of
work will exercise the wicked little
Imp Discomfort, and make its victim
