ADVERTISING ECONOMICAL.
Informs Customers and Saves the lime

tAMe.lCaU TIcsS)
The Waverly Qa.) Democrat, a
Weekly paper with no special inter-
est in the fortunes Of its daily neigh
bors, reports an illuminating con-
versation with successful Musca-
tine merchant who said, speaking OF
his advertisements:
'They pay in two ways. They bring
customers to our store, and they keep
down our expence for clerk hire fully
one-half, for the ads. make it pos
sible for one clerk to do the work of
two. They bring the customers
the information that they would
otherwise have to get from the clerk
at the expence of his time.
Having read our announcements,
j four cases out of five the custom
e, comes into our store knowing just
what he wants and just what he will
h we to pay. and all the clerk has to
d. is to produce the goods and get
the money for them. In store that
advertises properly there are very
few people who Games in Just to look
around and as a consequence bust
ness moves easily and brisky."
The merchant went on to say that
several years ago, when one Of his
partners thought the advertising
bills were too high, the firm dropped
it's Saturday ads. just to see what
would happen.
There was the usual rush Monday
morning, and the partner who want
ed to cut down the advertising smil-
ed triumphantly. But he laughs
best who laughs last. The man who
tells the story says that when night
came everybody in the shop was
worn out. Heads of departments
said they must have more help.
Yet the sales were the lightest of
any Monday for year. An unusual
number of the buyers did not know
exactly what thay wanted, and the
clerks time had been consumed in
helping them make their conclusions.
On other Mondays their conclusions
had been made in advance by read
ing the ads.
No doubt merchants in other towns
could give similar testimony. A force
in business that at once increases
sales and keeps expense down is too
important to be ignored.

before them and while you are talking
give them Whit or two of your bad
breath. 1t usually comes from food fer
menting on your stomach. Sometimes
you have 1t in the morning-that awful
sour, bilious, bad breath. You can stop
that at once by swallowing one or two
Stuart Charcoal Lozenges, the most pow
erful gas and odor absorbers ever pre-.
pared.

selves in your breath to those who talk
with you. you've had onions" or
you've been eating cabbage" and all of

friend. Charcoal is a wonderful absorber
of odors, as every one knows. That is

quick to stop all gases and odors of odor-
Gus foods, or gas from indigestion.

sob for their use. Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges in the first place stop for good and
ali sour brash and belching of gas, and
make your breath pure, fresh and sweet.

turn his face away from you when you
breathe or :alk; your breath will be pure
and fresh, and besides your food will
taste so much better to you at your next
meal. Just try 1t.
Charcoal does other wonderful things,
too. 1t carries away from your stomach
and intestines all the impurities there
massed together and which cause the bad
breath Charcoal Is a purifier as we'll as
an absorber
Charcoal Is now by far the best, most
easy and mild laxative known. A whole
boxful will do no harm; in fact, the more
you take the better. Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges are made of pure willow char
coal and mixed with just a faint flavor
of honey to make them palatable for you,
but not too sweet. You just chew them
like candy. They are absolutely harm
less.

Addenda to Poem Pub

we're in Los Angeles recently Judge
printel some verses by William Ganson
Rose of New York. Mr. Rose was among
the joke makers who visited California.
His experience in the city of the Angels
ne changed his opinion of longevity and
it's causes that the brilliant young
Iumorist has written for The Herald an
other verse, as he says, ito do justice to
Los Angeles -
The entire poem, as originally printed,
is here reproduced. The last verse is
he one added by Mr.. Rose.
WHEN EXPERTS DISAGREE
Nine men had reached ripe old age
And yet were hearty hale and strong
Each offered an opinion sage
OF how he CHANGED to live so long.
I'm eighty-one." the first one said;
II live on vegetables and bread.
But had I eaten meat instead
I'd now be numbered with the dead"
tut, tut my friend!" the second cried,
why meats the food to put inside
To make you strong.
I've tried it four-score years and two:
Just notice how it's pulled me through.
Your Views are wrong"
1T doesn't matter what 1 eat
Spoke up the man of eighty-three
What keeps me we'll I'll gladly tell
No liquor ever entered me-!
"Excuse my SMILE" said number four
And from flask they watched him pour
A half a glass and then some more.
I'm eighty-hve ard can't see why
man should boast Of being dry
Well, as for me, I'd rather die
Tobacco hastens death. I ween,"
Said number five You've never seen
A pipe cigar or cigarette
Between my teeth, and YOU can bet
That's why I'm neither fat nor lean
l'I've smoked in childhood, youth and age?'
Exclaimed the sixth, wise old sage
I'm eighty-seven. and l say
It's smoke that keeps me up today
1.-The reason for my many years."
Explained a grandsire gray,
''Is my good wife, who always cheers
Me on life's troubled way"
''I cannot see
How that can be-
Cried number eight. Il have no Wlte'
I've heard 1t said
That getting wed
Would greatly shorten up ones life"
Then rose the last All turned to hear.
''I'ye listened to your theories queer
Excuse me IL disagree
With every one; but them you see,
I'm older than the rest and so
You must admit ought to know

I drink and smoke whene'er wish.

And still find pleasure in this life
You want to know the reason whyr
You give it up? Well, SO do IT.

Broke forth in laughter, long ana louo'
Then paused to say:
s'Why. I've lived a century;
You'd never guess 1t, for you see
I'm scarcely gray.
