The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made US familiar with
novels, THE River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some 5 years
ago I found that it vas producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when I realized this, I made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, / concluded to
try it. 1 had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that l no longer suffered from
either Indigestion, heartburn, Dr. brain
fag, and that l could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we haye entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied.
"As a table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use it, that
when properly made it is most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. /. Vigilance is, however,
necessary to secure this, for unless the
servants r watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which
it must have in order to extract the
goodness from the cereal." Name givenS

should quote in his advertisement
should show the public that he is
giving bargains; they should be prices
that would compare favorably with the
prices OF the mail-order catalogues,
n he should impress 1t upon the
public that he not only shows them
what they are buying before they pay
Tor 1t, but that the purchaser has no
freight to pay. and does not have to
wait an interminable time for the
goods he buys, as when ordering of
the mail order houses.
1t is specific advertising that draws.
The advertiser who describes in de-
tail the goods he has to sell, and
quotes the price he asks for it will
attract the favorable attention OF the
public far more often than the one
who deals only in g~eneralities. 1t is
this kind Of advertising that pays. 1t
is this kind of advertising that is at
tracing the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the mail
order houses of the city. 1t is this
kind of advertising that drew $780,
900, 900 into the Golfers of the Chicago
mail-order houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr.. Merchant, whether your
line be hardware, dry goods, groceries,
clothing or other commodities, it is
well to go further than your newspa.

foundation of success. Go to the local
printer and have him make you little

need to be large affairs, but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Put
into these folders the descriptions and
prices of the goods you are carrying,
or leaders in the line. Be sure that
the prices quoted are right, then put
one of these into the hands of every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make
a practice of getting out a new one
every few weeks.

Using pay larger returns than the
mailorder man secures; you can make
it the mainstay of your business, and
you a make it the means of killing
the mail-order competition in your
community. And when you do this
do not begrudge the publisher the
reasonable price he asks you for ade-
quate space in his columns. He will
give you better value than any other
commodity you can buy.

Death of Mrs. Hannah Pierce.

In the death of Mrs. Hannah Pierce,
which took place Nov. 5, Royalton loses
one of its oldest and most respected resi-
dents.
Mrs. Pierce was born in Hartford Nov.
:. 1919. Had she lived one day longer
she would have been So years old. More
than So years ago she married William
Pierce in Hartford and gave to his two
little SONS mothers care. They moved
to Stockhridge and lived there for several
years. Thirty-twO years ago they came
to Royalton to care for an aged sister of
Mr.. Pierce, and here he died fifteen years
ago last May. OF the seven children
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce, six are still
living-Mrs. Nelson Grant and Mrs. Ed
win Bent of Stockbridge, Mrs. Otis Abb
bolt of Gaysville, Mrs. AIva Larned of
Rutland, Mrs. Esther Burnham of Roy
alton and William L. Pierce of Hartford.
The eldest son, Perry F., was wounded
in the third days fighting of the battle
of the Wilderness and died soon after in a
hospital. Mr.. Pierce's four sons were en-
listed in the Northern army at the same
time and all but one came back.
Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Pierce has received the tenderest care
from her daughters, Mrs. Abbott and
Mrs. Burnham, the latter having minis
tered in every possible way to her COM
fort during these last years of feebleness.
While not member of any church,
Mrs. Pierce was regular attendant at
the Cong'l church till deafness made it
impossible for her to hear the service,
and she was always interested and ready
to help. She was a devoted mother, a
kind neighbor and a loyal friend, re-
tanning her interest in affairs in general
till the last.
The funeral was attended Friday after
noon at her late home, Rev. Levi Wild
officiating, assisted by Rev. j. F. Whit
ney. All her children were present ex-
cept the two step-sons, Lewis A. Pierce of
Chicago and Charles Pierce of Lebanon,
n. H., who was not well enough to come.
