Lesson In Advertiaina.

The value of newspaper advertising
as q business enlivener has been en-
phasized recently by practical object
lesson. The suspension OF all the daily
papers In Butte, Mont, for several
weeks on account Of a strike gave the
local merchants and managers Of other
enterprises an opportunity to discover
Just how necessary such advertising Is
30 present day business success. The
Duluth Evening Journal, in comment
ing upon this incident, tells how the
advertisers tried TO overcome the handj-
cap caused by the temporary suspen-
sion Of the newspapers:
They put their advertisements on the
biilboardH, scattered freely over the city
a. they are over most cities. They were
made as striking as possible, and they
were changed frequently. In addition, the
merchants got out dodgers and handbills
and sought TO interest the public in their
bargains in that manner. With billboarda
in every block and with handbills dis
tributed 30 copiouaiy that they Uttered
the streets. the advertisements got a pref
~ good circulation. ana probably every
citizen OF Butte that was able TO read
had his attention called 10 the wares that
were being advertised.
Yet business fell Off on every hand. In
many instances merchants suffered losses
of 20 per cent in business. and instances
were not rare where the decline amounted
70 30 per cent Even the theaters lost 50
per cent Of their patronage.
The merchants were unanimous in as
criblng this loss Of business 70 the fact
that they had no newspapers in which to
place their advertising The lesson not
only showed the inefIiciency Of billboard
advertising. but u showed the necessity
OF newspaper advertising In the conduct
% . modern business enterprise.
Now that the Butte newspapers are
running again in full swing, the mer-
chants, who for a short time experience
Cd the novelty Of trying to advertise
their wares by makeshift methods,
have returned with alacrlty to the dis
play space offered by the daily prints,
and they are enjoying this method Of
advertising a great deal more than the
other because II pays.

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields Of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr.. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern
ment Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind.
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
I promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sownt to wheat.
Well, finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average Of
43A bushels per acre-testing 64h
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was good sample when
I tell you that have already sold 1000
bushels Of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
II you remember 1 pointed out to
you half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which said I should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. I am very
glad to be able to tell you that now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
| weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
| wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, I feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. I
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
| and threshing. This year I proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up," can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421A bushels per acre.
so you see "old Indiana" is holding the
| ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
N. E. BAUMINK.

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form OF
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty Of it, try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" It acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out of
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
long-standing cases of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try it.

Proof Of Merit,

The proof of the merits of plaster
Is the cures 1t effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence Of their superiority and

Self-praise is no recommendation, but

them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
