Practical Business Hints.
Adapted from the Bakers Helper.

Adapted from the Bakers Helper
Endeavor to make no contracts that
will bring regrets instead of returns.
Don't give a wrong reason for right
thing. The latter is sufficient unto it
self.
Don't over-persuade your patron, or
you may send hin out as a dispIeased
customer.
ALI good things crave publicity. 1t is
those that are oblique and sinister that
seek the dark
To say what you can do in concise,
lucid way, and then do what you say, is
good advertising.
A man has no adequate idea OF the in
finity OF space until he has to pay for it
at so much per agate line.
Trivial details need not be mentioned
in an advertisement. Put your empha-
sis on the dominant points.
An unpriced window-show sends many
customers by it. When an article is
properly priced they may go in and buy
it.
''Suave in manner-brave in action"
runs the old Latin maxim. And this
hits business in all its spheres as well az
diplomacy.
A miller once said, II advertised yes
terday, and the day before" that

advertising to-day and tomorrow.

and nutritive tracts are performed pro-

churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this Stomach-churn is foul it

The evil Of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption OF

 The approach to Decatur street. of cars going south on High is on steep decline, the crest of the hill being some fifty yards from the crossing. The car tracks at the crossing are not raised above i. the roadway level of. either street. The passing of vehicles cuts the earth loose beside the rails and be- ing unpacked it piles up. Beside the left hand rail, going out from the city. the soil is cut to fine powder. In this the wheel sinks without much danger of leaving the rail.
 The right hand track passes through a mass of lumpy clay. which Monday was at least two inches above the rail. On this. earth the wheel mounted, the flange riding the rail and the other wheel being drawn away from the track The wheel on the rail held its position for some eight feet and then the wheels plowed through the soil past the crossing, and front wheel striking an obstruction caused, the, car to swerve to the right, giving the vehicle a lurch that threw the occu- pants out.
