When a store advertises
il shows that it values your
trade enough to ask for it:
you're considered TO the ex-
tent of making it easy for
you to know what is offered
in needed goods; the store
shows its willingness to 90
on record in its statements
about lis stock and service;
the advertising of an article
as being of a certain quail
. lily, and at a stated price, is
in a sense, a contract be-
tween the seller and the
. prospective buyer; the
prices of advertised goods
must be so low that COM
petition can't meet their;
: advertising increases SALES,
enabling the store TO ac-
cept smaller profits These
are some of the reasons
why you shouId buy from
stores that adwrtise. There
are other reasons, and al
though not stated, you pro-
fit by theEi.

Fraulein Wilke of the Chelsea Eng.
polytechnic school told "a recent wo.
mems congress that any comprehen-
sive scheme for the physical education
of girls should comprise gymnastics,
dancing and games. Net ball was an
ideal game for girls, she said. Some
games. she declared, were too cramped
and one-sided, as. for instance. hockey.
Lacrosse she pronounced too strenuous
for delicate girls. Dancing was bene-
fetal in the widest sense 1t encour-
aged lightness and grace, and should
also encourage graciousness of manner.

The London Chronicle says that it
is probable that there was smoking
in England before the introduction Of
tobacco. The reason for thinking so
is the discovery of pipes imbedded in
sections of morton in the walls of
churches which were built before the
advent of tobacco. 1t is surmised that
some other weed was found suitable
for use in pipes, but. as for the de-
voices of my Lady Nicotine. they will
have only an archaeological interest In
the matter. if they have that, being
quite satisfied with properties of to-
bacco as they know it.
