How to Advertise!

Advertising is telling people what

buy. 1t sounds lis easy IT'S going to

Every merchant advertises in some
form or other. He may use nothing
but his voice and IA few signs, but
he advertises just the same The mer-
chant should consider advertising
from the standpoint of utility. He
advertiSes in some form or another,
always What is the best way?
How can he reach the most people?
That means, what medium should be
used. The newspaper is a good We
hicle for advertising for it is read by
n great number of people. The local
paper is best, for it reaches the peO-
pile living near at hand. The store
sign, the window, other means for
conveying advertisements ar>useful

er thing to be considered, how to do
the advertising, what to say and how
to say it. Appeal to interest, be sue

Remarkable Recovery

Friends of Miss Fannie Hicks will be
glad to learn that she is regaining
her strength and improving rapidly.
Size is staying in the country and is
much benefited by the change. The
case of this aged lady is somewhat
remarkable. She was taken sick the
first OF january and was confined to
her bel for six months. In May her
condition became SO critical at one
time that the doctors did not think
she would live through the day.
Loved ones and friends sat by the
bedside day and night momentarily
expecting the end, but she rallied and
the Indications are that she is going
TO get well.
Miss Fannie Hicks is ~ years old
the oldest living Hicks, one of
numerous family connection. She is
a good woman, greatly beloved by
those who know her, and the wish of
all is that she may be spared yet
many more years.

Girls on the Street.
Ohio State Journal.

Ohio State Journal.
There is a great difference in girls
as one sees them on the streets.
Some are modest and gentle and go
along without attracting attention,
except what may be awakened by
graceful carriages and pleasant faces.
They tell of good homes and
thoughtful mothers and gentle breed
ing. They suggest likewise good
books, moral ideas and intelligent
associates. But there are other kinds
of girls who are careless Of their con-
duct. They are just a little loud,
laugh great deal and chatter nOis-
lily. They are rather empty crea-
lures who read thrashy books and
talk the same way, and are inclined
to get reckless in their chatter about
beaux. 1t is their folly that attracts
attention along the street. When
ever they pass a young IMAM, he
turns and regards them with curious
grin.
Really, if they were sensible, mod
est girls, they wouldn't like this.
They wouldn't like for the loafers
along the street to gawk at them
and wonder who they are and make
shallow remarks to the other fellow.
They would want to go along the
street leavinga sort of underlined SEN
sation, if any at all, that "there
goes a lady' These differences the
casual observer can easily see, but
really the gentle and we'll bred are in
the majority, while the loud and i'll
bred are only exceptions; but there
are enough of them to excite disgust
among all true women, and we wish
among all true men, that these girls
and young women would conduct
themselves SO as to reflect honor
upon their sex.
