Advertising space has value only as the thoughts of
the advertiser, which are expressed through it, create a
favorable attitude in the mind of the reader toward the
advertised article.
The reader must become convinced of the points
wherein an article will make good before he will purchased.
The success of the seller in causing buyers to think
unconsciousy as he wishes them, by exploiting his goods
through legitimate advertising mediums. has given Magazine,
Newspaper, Street Car and Billboard space the high position
it occupies in present day organized selling campaigns.

harmful unless "cOpy" is used that's easy to read, interesting,

EDUCATING Pnrents.

Much is written nowadays about the ed
uoation Of children, yet how much better It
would be II the education of parents we're
seriously considered and carried out In
series Of articles addressed especially to
them.
More children are spoiled, rendered use-
less and even criminal by ill-advlsed pa
rental training and Indulgence than from
any other cause, asserts Anne Pittenhouse
in the Philadelphia Ledger.
In this country children are less trained,
more spoiled and worse behaved than those
of any other nation.
If parents are unselfish, sacrificing their
own comfort, time and means for their
children they develop in those children sell
fishness and other attendant evils.
Self-sacrifice, sacrificing their own COM
fort, time and means for their children,
they develop in those children selflshness
and other attendant evils.
Self-sacrifice, when carried to excess, is
also really selfishness. To speak plainly
the love of giving of ones means, health
and service to another is often greater In
the generous, warm-hearted person than
the desire to acquire from or make use OF
others. Such people nave their greatest
happiness in giving, hence they give,
whether It be OF time, money or service,
If they did not do 1t they would be most
unhappy. Hence they enjoy more thar
they suffer.
The selfish person who gives because he
or she thinks II is a duty, but who feels
keenly the deprivation Of the money, the
time or the effort given deserves more
credit than he or she who gives for the
pleasure Of 1t, for the pleasure of bestowins
pleasure on others.
The parent who gives the child everything
It desires, who surrounds 1t with every
luxury Of housing, dressing and diet, whC
