NEWSPAPERS ONLY
win be Used by Newcastle, In
diana Business Men in the
Future For Their Advertising.

The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton of Newcastle, Ind, has placed
the ban on all advertising schemes,
and will have nothing to do with
programs, socaIled business direc-
rories or other schemes devised to
separate merchant from his cash.
Newspaper advertising is recog-
lized as the only profitable pub
lcity method and will be strictly
adhered to in the, future. This
Iecision was reached after one
years investigation of results ob-
tained from various forms OF adj
vertising.
A committee was appointed by
the Merchants League who kept
actual figures on the business done
by the merchants and traced to va
rious forms of advertising. The
only form OF advertising showing
actual benefits was traced to lie
ultimate newspapers. Special
boom editions were condemned by
the committee and merchants were
urged to refrain from using them.
They are usually the products OF
solicitors travelling from city to
city interesting a certain class of
newspapers in their schemes and
taking a per cent. of the profits
for their share in the work, spend
ing no money with the merchants
who advertised. The Newcastle
Merchants League recommend
that their merchants use only the
bona hde newspapers published
regularly either daily, Sunday or
weekly. tt

MO0dman'S Ak Has Left Little
Good Timber In Eastern
Kentucky.

The first seasons field work in
the cooperative investigation of
the forest resources of Kentucky
by the United States Forest Serv-
ice and the State Board of Agri-
culture has just been completed
and the experts have returned to
Washington.
Good progress was made in the
study during the past summer and
all the territory drained by the
Big Sandy and Little Sandy rivers
andTygart's creek has been COW
cred. This area includes the fol-
lowing counties: Pike, Letcher,
Knott, Floyd, Martin, johnson,
Lawrence. Boyd, Greenup, Carter
and Elliott. The work will be
taken up again next spring and
completed so far as the funds avail
able Will permit. The expense is
borne jointly by the Government
and the State, each appropriating
$4,000.
The object of the study has been
to determine the present timber
supply, the rate of consumption
and other facts which may serve as
IA basis for suggestions and recon-
mendations to be embodied in the
report which is to be submitted to
the Kentucky Legislature.
The investigation has shown that
within reasonable distance of rail
roads and floating streams there is
very little good timber left, and
yellow poplar is getting scarce all
through the region.

Make the Dead Heed.

From New Zealand comes the fol-
lowing weird yarn: THE tohungs (np-
tive magician) was even credited with
the power OF influencing the dead.
The present writer was witness Of
the following incident: a branch OF
the Arawas, the tribe OF the district
Of Rotorua. being at war, had suffered
defeat and one of their braves had
been brought home dead. The van
pushed sought at once to find out by
some omen connected with the dead
chief whether they would be success
full In their next encounter. The to-
hunga was requested to procure the
desired omen, the people squattins in
ring about the bier. Advancing a
few PAGES from the dead body, the
priest began TO recite a powerful in
cantation, intent on making the de-
ceased give some sign. the eyes Of all
present being fixed on the slain war
liOr. Presently the corpse was oh
served to move slightly to one side. on
which a great cry Of Joy rose from the
people. The movement was inter
preted as a sign Of future victory. This
feat WAS often performed by the to-
huuga of oldCn times

a Favorite Resort.

Marienbad, whittier King Edward
goes for his annual cure" was al
most unknown century ago. 1t was
virtually discovered by DR.. Nehr, who
published booklet in 1913 describing
the marvellous results upon patients of
his who had been drinking the waters.
But Or. Nehr recommended that all
invalids repairing TO Marienbad should
take their beds with them. because
no accommodation whatever was then
provided in such a sequestered spot.
Matters had not much improved in
1920. when Goethe visited Marienbad
and drank the waters. for he wrote to
a friend: Il feel as if | were in the
American solitudes, where the forests
are cut down to build up a city within
three years" Nearly 10000 valetudi-
narians now annually make pilgrimage
to Marienbad.-D Advertiser

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

Harte:

ACE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has wide range.

The female pulse always beats fast
err than the male. and from birth to
death the pulse beats. steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex Of
person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have pulse beat of 16O times
minute in case Of girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to 40 and 100 Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 30. Mature men and women av'
erage 80 and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and 30.
An old woman's pulse rarely, IL ever,
sinks below so, but among men a
pulse beat below SO Is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only "A

APPENDICITIS.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. CHATS the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix)
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
ton.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, l suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread. potatoes. ETC..
which she did not digest)
"Soon after left school had an at
tack Of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
I recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me, until friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when began to eat Grape-Nuts
weighed 90 lbs, but soon grew to 115
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now am like new per
son."
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength thap other makes.
