"The Live Dolls Play Days"
By Josephine Scrihner Gates. Puhlishe

BY Josephine Scribner Gates Published by
the Bobhs- Merrill company, Indianapolis
Price $f.2J.
The Live Dolls Play Days" is the
eighth volume to appear in the famous
series OF Live Dolls Books" which
Mrs Josephine Scribner Gates has
written to amuse the youngsters, and
probably IL is the best of the lot
In plot 1t is strictly up to date. Rival
camps have sprung up among the lit
tie girls of Cloverdale, some OF whom
remain faithful to their love of the
doll, while others have fallen under
the spellof the Teddy bear fad and have
left their once petted dollies forlorn
and In rags. The Doll Lady takes all
the dolls under her wing and organizes
the Happy Hearts club, to which all
not interested in Teddy bears may be-
long. The Happy Hearts have such
jolly times that the neglected doll
mothers abandon their pets and take to
dolls again. As both dolls and bears
come to life, the excitement attending
this rivalry may easily be ina agined
The plays and parties of which the
Happy Hearts good times consist are.
the very sort that children make up
for themselves and find entirely ab-
sorbing and amusing. And the little
girl who does not find the Live Dolls
Play Days entirely absorbing and
amusing must be stuffed with sawdust
herself

"Jesus of Nazareth"

BY S. c. Bradley Published 10y sherman.
French & Co., Boston
The object of this book is twofold.
First to bring into prominence The
manliness of Jesus-to give point and
emphasis TO that saying OF Paul's which
declares that Jesus was in all points
tempted like as we are; and, second, to
fiji up that gap I'm the record of Jesus
life. which includes and shuts US out
from all its formative period. and
which, in large part. must necessarily
be the source and basis of whatever he
said and did,"
So says S. c. Bradley in his intro
auction to a book entitled Jesus OF
Nazareth; A Life"
The author has written book which
is romantic rather than dogmatic or
critical. He has pieced together story
Of the is or 20 formative years in the
life of Jesus which have always been
q blank. The book, OF course, is
based on Imagination. pure and simple.
hut the author claims to have arrived
at his conclusion by a system OF deduc-
tion. having studied the history of the
times with the greatest care. There
viii doubtless be many readers who
will think the author irreverent. but
that is farthest from his intentions. lie
only wishes to present a human, manly
and brotherly Jesus; and it must be
said he writes both simply and sym
pathefically The book is In no sense
historical, but IT is pleasant reading.
The publishers suggest that it be
called a novel, with Jesus FOR the hero
and Mary Magdalene for the heroine
and that description OF it is eminently
appropriate

"The Man Who Ended War;

By Hollis Godfrey. Published by Little, Brown
e. Co. Boston. Price $l.50.
All sorts of stories with a Jules Verne
flavor have been offered the long suffer-
ing and patient public. but the poorest
of the lot has Just appeared. 1t is called
THE Man Who Ended War and it's
author is Hollis Godfrey. who may or
may not have written before, but who
needs mheh more practice to make him
perfect. He has the germ OF an idea, so
lis book will he noticed. otherwise it
would pass quietly to oblivion.
A man discovers a sure means of
destroying the navies of the world. He
takes one great battleship after another
and with no fuss nor feathers ami
hilates it. Radium is tile element of de-
struction which is employed, and the
author quite persuades the reader that
what he tells is scientifically possible.
The love story spoils the book; it is un-
convincing and is a decided drag on the
brisk and dramatic movement of the
rest of the story. The book would be
quite satisfactory without it. for the
love theme has been dragged in by the
heels, so to speak.
James Orriugton, newspaper report
er, accidentally comes upon the news of
this man who is to do such wonders,
and he tells the story. not the least in
teresting part Of which has TO do with
some of the scoops made by the per-
sistent james. The book could be worse,
but that is faint praise. The author has
ideas and is sure to improve.

The Life of Sir Isaac Pitman''
By Alfred Baker. published by Isaac rlt-

BIZ Alfred Baker Published by Isaac Fit
man Sons, New York. Price 81.
Considering the great service which
he rendered to the world. 1T is re-
markable that Isaac Pitman's life story
has not been told many times before.
However, Alfred Baker has written an
interesting one and one which the
family of the famous inventor of
photography has sanctioned.
The author has had access to the
personal records of the family but he
has not done as much with them as
was to be expected, spending much
time and space in eulogizing his sub
ject and giving too few details of
personality. An interesting fact is told
concerning the religion of Pitman. He
was a follower OF Swedenborg and de-
voted half hour each day TO the
study of his works. He is reported TO
have said to a minister of that faith
on the eve of his death: ITO those
who ask how Isaac Pitman passed away
say. Peacefully and with no more con-
cern than in passing from one room
into another to take up some further
employment. ="
The personal details are always OF the
most vital interest in biographies, and
it IS interesting to learn what an al
most ascetic life Pitman led. He lived
on fruits and vegetables exclusively; he
drank no alcoholic liquors: he never
touched tea until very late in life and
not only did he himself not smoke,
but he had "a pronounced antipathy
to the use OF tobacco by others.
The volume contains a number of
illustrations of places associated with
Sir Isaac's life and reproduction of sew
eraI portraits of himself.

The very atmosphere of Paris is
fascination that inspires perpetual rec
ord in pictorial or literary expression"
says Miss Whiting In her new book,
in which she sets forth some OF the
various phases OF the French capital.
In her Interpretation of Paris the
Beautiful" after a series of spring
Whiting says:
ITO stand again in Sainte Chapelle,

of the strange and superstitious mys-
ticism of Louis XI 10 linger in the
Pantheon and recall the wonderful
story Of Genevieve. the patron saint
of Paris. whose marvellous history is
depicted on the walls by the master
hand OF Puvis de CiIavannes in his
series Of decorative paintings, to loiter
in the gardens of the Tuileries where
statues CLEAN whitley amidst the glow
of scarlet geraniurns IN the great
vases. and the vista down the broad
avenue OF the Champs Elysees is
framed ia the stately Are de Triomphe
de Etoile; to renew acquaintance with
contemporary French art through the
two salons IN the splendid galleries
OF the Grand Palais---in all these ex-
periences one invites the joy of beau
ty."
This spirit of joyful appreciation
breathes through all the pages of this
interesting book. Ihe title chapter
gives general view of the Paris of
today. which is follo-.ed by descrip-
tion of the Champs Elysees, the Louvre.
and the Luxembourg, aud an account
is given Of the two annual salons
The author drops the thread of her
narrative for chapter TO tell the
story OF Sainte Genevieve. the patron
saint of Paris. and this in turn is
followed by the Scientific Progress in
Paris In some respects this may
be considered one OF the most impor-
tant chapters in the book for the au-

OF the most absorbing chapters In a
book of delightful description and COM
ment.

to be a cowboy. His first step in that
direction is to change his name to

comfortable homes for the adventurous
life on the plains. Pete has many in
teresting and exciting experiences and
some hairbreadth escapes too A prairie
IRE episode is graphically described and
the stampede of maddened cattle would
make the stoutest hearted tremble
BOYS like the stories Joseph B. Ames
writes for them, and from the number
of his books and their pleasing style
one may conclude that the author likes
writing for the boys. Furthermore the
author has lived among the scenes he
describes and the work bears the un-
mistakable impress of truth
The book, as has been said, will not
lead any boy to think the life of cow
boy all fun and frolic. The tone is
manly and elevating. but quite escapes
any obvious moralizing so easily de-
tected by youthful critics.

from Hampton roads the most powerful
battle fleet ever assembled under the
American flag for the longest cruise
ever undertaken by any fleet of any
nation. The fleet sailed for the straits

were seen at close range by the author,
and every American who takes an In

description of the fleet and Its adven-

The book is illustrated by Henry
Reuterdahl. famous because of his ar

events, and daily events vary. The ''helter- -skelter" nature of a large DOT ton of advertising: its application to the moment. makes the dsiily news paper as a medium a necessity.
 The newspaper advertisement is in close proximity to the reading matter it reaches the people at a less cost than any other medium A buyer may read the bill board. circular or magazine. but he must read the news paper. It is therefore the opportunity for persistency; the advertiser can re- peat his offer 365 days in the year and vary it each time to suit the daily conditions-to coincide with the daily happenings.
 The ideal medium for advertising is the local daily paper-the paper that is filled with the best thoughts of the people. thoughts for every member of the family. The paper that gets the glad hand wherever it goes-that is eagerly sought and read; the paper that values the con- fidence of the people; that presents the news of the day in the manner which appeals to the better class of people-tO the fathers. the mothers. grandparents and children The local paper is the best advertising medium because it is an authority for what ever it exploits; it has a reputation for integrity, for correctness. and the it presents within it's columns is backed by facts, is O. good report, is dependable.

It is no longer possible to pass the news of the days happenings from mouth to mouth: there are a thousand hindrances.
 We've mentioned the newspaper, that great meeting place for people, for people and the news.
