Not TOO Expensive

Why do you not advertise to the Consumer
through daily newspapersR
That question put to almost any manufacturer
who has not tried it will frequently be met with the
statement that "it's too expensive" This idea is
incorrec.
Why not try it7
A campaign through newspapers, with all the
auxiliary work planned for you by us, will sell more
goods for general consumption than can possibly be
sold in any other way.
Tell US the places where you know your distri-
button is complete and yet where the goods are not
moving as they should. Try the effect of newspaper
space in selling a particular article in any one city.
If your goods are of general consumption and
you have never tried such a newspaper campaign,
why not test it for resultsi

of the stories related was about his
experiences with Nine. Moejeska.

years. He had been as careless as
he often was or the stage, arc

A STRANGE LAKE.
The pseuIiaritiss Of q Body Of Wss.p
In Australia.

Lake George is situated about
four miles from the railway station
at Bungendore, Australia, and has
for many years engaged the atten-
ton of scientific men by reason Of
the singular and inexplicable phe-
nomena connected with it. The es-
Inmates of its size vary considerably
according to circumstances, but
when moderately full about 90 by7
miles will be found toIerably cor
rect. At either end the land is
fully 100 feet above the highest
recorded surface Of the lake. which
possesses no known outlet, although
it is fed by numerous mountain
creeks.
The lake was discovered by a
bushman in 1890 and was known to
the blacks as the "big water" It
was then supposed to form the
source Of river having its mouth
on the south coast. but subsequent
visitors were much perplexed at the
manner in which the blacks avoided
the lake. Of which they appeared to
entertain superstitious dread, one
aged aboriginal stating she had seen
it all covered with trees, another
explaining that the whole of the
water sank through the bottom and
disappeared, while Others remem-
bered the lake only as a series of
small ponds.
During the following twenty
years considerable variations we're
noted in the depth and extent Of
the lake. In 1871 the lake became
partially dried up, the moist por-
tons being simply grassy swamps.
a few months later large numbers
of sheep were pastured in the bed
Of the lake. but fresh water had to
be carted for the use of the shep-
herds, that of the lake being too
salt for human consumption. The
place remained more or less dry
until 1852. the year of the great
floods in that part of the colony.
when it again became filed, with
an average depth of nine feet.
Since then the surface level of the
lake has varied considerably, but
the bed has never been so dry as in
former years. There are indica-
tons that many hundreds of years
ago the lake covered far large.

UNHAPPY WIFE IS SEEKING DIVORCE.

Judge Corn, of the probate court
of Lawrence county, Ohio, now has
under consideration the case of Mrs.
Lafon vs.. Isaac Lafon, chancery
action in which the plaintiff seeks
divorce and alimony. Extreme cruel
ty is the chief cause of action.
The affair will be of particular in
terest to the people of the tri-state
region owing to the fact that it is
the outSrowth of sensational at
tempt made several months ago by
Mrs Lafon to go to her relatives in
Florida. In order to get money the
woman drove two COWS to Hunting
ton and sold them to butcher and,
in company with her daughter, went
to Guyandotte, there intending to
Ooaru chesapeake X Ohio train
for Charleston, at which point she
meant to take train for Florida.
Her plans failed, however, for Farm
er Lafon learned of the sale of his
cows and came to Huntington at
once. He secured two warrants for
his wife, one charging larceny and
the other kidnapping, and Mrs. Lafon
was arrested just as her train reached
the Guyandotte depot. The whole
thing ended in her going back to her
home near Chesapeake.
However, amicable relations were
never resumed and the woman
brought suit for divorce.
