ADVERTISING AS A TONIC

There are periods in all classes of
business, including newspapers, and
among all men, for that matter, de-
clares Fourth Estate, when the need OF
4 tonic is felt-when some sort of stimu-
latlon Is necessary.
This does not necessarily mean that
the businesses or the papers are de.
terlorating These periods occur ma.
turally, at intervals, and it is sometimes
difficult to explain the reason for the
feeling OF lassitude to say depres-
sion
1t may come in the spring or il may
0ccur IL the fail, but is pretty certain
I'd. happen along at some time or other.
Then it is that the businesses or pa
pers experiencing the feeling of debility
need tonic--they must be subjected
to some bracing influence.
Quinine and iron may do for man
under the weather, but the tonic for
business depression is advertising. 1t
will impart new energy to any concern
not broken down beyond redemption
and will infuse additional vigor into the
strongest organization.
Advertising is an economical treat
ment which is certain to have bene.
fetal effect if taken before ii is too late
to be of any good.
Do not wait until the last moment
before YOU test the virtues of judicious
advertising.
Take a tonic now and then, no mat
ter how strong you may be, and if you
are depressed take tones until the de.
preston disappears

THE MISSING MlSSlvE.
One Romance Of Uncle Sans Dead
Letter Office.

One Romance Of Uncle Sans Dead
Letter Office.
Something like 100000 letters an
nually fail of delivery in the United
States owing to insufficient postage or
incorrect addresses. The dead letter
Office at Washington employs a large
force OF clerks to handle these. The
packages that have been received at
the dead letter office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes, brass keys and
thousands of other things that one
would never expect to lind in the
mails.
1t would be interesting to know how
many engagements have been broken,
how many friends have been estrang-
ed, how many fond hearts have not
been reunited. how many deals have
fallen through, how much money has
been lost and how many Quarrels have
been prevented by letters that never
came.
A pretty romance was revealed at
the dead letter Office the other day
when n young woman called there to
see II wrongfully addressed letter
had been received 1t had. and she
was greatly relieved. Il heard that
Jack was. untrue" she said, "and
wrote him breaking our engagement
The day after wrote found out that
was wrong. My heart was almost
broken. but Jack kept right on coming
to see me and never mentioned the let
ter. l began to think must have
misdirected 1t and find that l did. II
must have been fate. Now he will
never know."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

THE DRUG FIEND.
Hasheesh Makes It's Slave Utterly
Useless For Any Service.

Hasheesh Makes Its Slave Utterly
Useless For Any Service.
One of the drugs that are most strik-
lug in their effects is hasheesh, or
Cannabis indica, largely taken in Asiat-
ic countries. where used myself to
meet its votaries. Its chief popularity
is to make one believe with all his
might whatever is suggested to him.
IL he is an Arab. tell him that he Is
a sultan. and straightaway he orders
heads to be cut Off. Tell him he Is a
rooster, and he will crow. l knew Of
two Americans who experimental on
themselves. and when the first was
told that he was like locomotive he
snorted and whistled and kept going
round the table putting and blowing
until he dropped from sheer fatigue.
The other somehow conceived the
idea that he was dead and forthwith
gave elaborate directions for his own
funeral till he waxed wroth at the
unseemly mirth Of his companions
when they should have wept.
Hasheesh makes its slave utterly
the other drugs. Their victims one
and all end in becoming do-nothings.
Self made do-nothings, or those who
are so by drug taking, are much worse
than useless.
AS they usually do not begin till as
adults they reach the working period
of life, they become wretched burdens
on the real workers, since our social
system lacks any constitutional enact
ment whereby. as occurs In commu-
nifty Of bees, the workers systematical-
" put their drones to death.
The opium fiend from long living In
an unreal world becomes transformed
into the most all round liar in the
land. the very embodiment Of un-
veracity. One Of them victimized me
with loan that he might go and
close the eyes Of his dying mother
when her eyes needed no such closing
for years afterward.
Another sent from western city to
his wife telegram which purported
ing money to pay for shipping his
body home. This money. when it came,
he. and unfortunately no undertaken,
pocketed and then went his way.
We all know what the confirmed
drunkard becomes. but not till the
Judgment day will the whole story be
known OF the grlefs and tears of the
innocent ones whom the drunkard
made to suffer while he was here.

The chinaman and His Dragon.

II n Chlnaman wishes for happiness
and peace In this world and the next
he feels obliged to consult his majesty
the dragon us to where his house shall
be built and his grave be made.
Through the earth, so say the Chinese,
flow two currents ~ the dragon and
the tiger Now, for a man TO have
good fortune in life or, as he would
say in pigeon English" to "catchee
chance" his house must be put in a
certain position in reference to these
currents. If he is to rest quietly in
his grave, that also must be correctly
placed. SO called wise men" make n
business Of choosing favorable sites
for homes and graves, processing by
means Of wand and incantations and
other kinds of tomfoolery to be able
to detect the presence of the dragon
and the tiger and to tell in what di-
rection they flow.

decades OF popularity, are numbered by
she hundreds of thousands. They have
*.made good and they have not made
drunkards.
A good, honest, square-deal medicine OF
known composition is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most of the prepara-
tions that have come Into prominence in
the earlier period of It's popularity have
"eone by the board y and are never more
heard OF. There must be some reason for
this long time popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores OF less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-

tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility, nothing is 50 good as Dr.

The Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 has remarkable cold
weather record and is known as "the
year without a summer" In that year
there was a sharp frost in every
month, and the people all over the
world began to believe that some great
and definite change in the earth was
taking place. The farmers used to re-
fer to 1t as eighteen hundred and
starve to DEATH" Frost, ice and snow
were common In June. Almost every
green thing was killed, and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During the
month snow fell to the depth Of three
Inches In New York and Massachu-
sets and ten inches in Maine. There
were frost and ice in July In New York,
New England and Pennsylvania, and
corn was nearly all destroyed in GER
tain sections. Ice half an inch thick
formed in August. A cold north wind
prevailed all summer
