must be square; the kind Of square that has four
equal sides and four right angles.
Every successful store has its trademark whether
the merchant knows not Its advertising and its
service have created public sentiment in its favor
which neither fire time obliter-
ate. Nine times out of ten this trademark is the
stores biggest asset.
Much Of the ordinary store advertising is a hand
to-mouth sort Of business; effort to make tomor
rows sales equal to todays yesterdays; and this
just true Of the department store Of the small
er shop. The advertisement appears in the morning
evening. 1t is true that the BARGAIN advertisement
Of today is Of little, any, next week 1t is for
gotten in twenty-fou hours but If the store makes
feature Of genuine bargains then each bargain sale
helps to advertise the bargain department. The
advertising ought to be done in such way to
permanently advertise the department as well as to
emphasize the bargains of the day.

1t is safe to say that not more than third Of
the people looking for bargains; the other two
thirds looking for quality and style The very fact
that the goods offered at bargain prices leaves the
impression that there is something wrong with the

Advertising is tremendous force which in action
contradicts all mechanical laws. The circumference
and speed and working power increase, while the
motor remains the same.
Make your advertising continuous. This is the
first great secret of Copy and medium and
circulation all subordinate to keeping everlastingy

DaItsn's Experiment.
The English chemist Dalton was

schoolteacher. He worked without
laboratory and with crude apparatus.
mostly made by himself from simple
materials. Here Is an example describ-
ed In his own words:
'Took an ale glass of n conical fig-
ure two and half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filed 1t with
water that had been standing In the
room and consequently of the tempera.
ture of the air nearly; put the bulb Of
the thermometer to the bottom OF the
glass, the scale being out of the water.
Then, having marked the temperature.
put the redhot tip of the poker half
an inch deep In the water. holding 1t
there steadily for half minute. and
as soon as 1t was withdrawn dipped
the bulb OF a sensible thermometer
into the water. when 1t rose in a few
seconds to $50 degrees"
He then determined the temperature
of the water at the bottom after FIVE
minutes, after twenty minutes and aft
er an hour and found that it rose grad
ually from At to 80 degrees. This
simple experiment proved that water
has the power to conduct heat. which

For a feeting moment her eyes met
his, and then, startled and with her
face flushed, she ran up the path to
the yeranda.

He pointed at Harriet, who. on be-

up the path to the veranda. On the
veranda she walked around In circle

An Eccentric Russian Doctor.

The famous Russian, the late DR.
Zaharin. was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Gar Alexander Ill. In his last illness,
DR.. Zaharin required the same prep
aration for his visit to the palace as
TO any of his patients houses. That is
to say, all dogs had to be kept out of
the way, all clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat In the
next room, his galoches in the third,
and, continuing arrived at the bedside
In ordinary indoor costume. He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps in going up
stairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when bis questions had to be
answered by Yes or mo" and moth
