THE FIRST TASTE

If parents realized the fact that cot

especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.

Lovemakinq and Practice.

The only way to become an expert
at lovemaking is to practice. This
was the information handed out to a
handful of hearers by the Hindu phil
osopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in
a lecture on THE Science of Love"
Love is a divine discomfort" said
the philosopher, "and if you want to
arouse love in others it can be done
only by giving them love. How to
develop the emotion of love in another
is the great question of today-the art
of making love. It needs a great deal
of study and a great deal of prac-
tice."

of courtesy and politeness, making a
scrupulous point of his memory for

country home one day he noticed a
woman seated in his car whom he was
sure he knew in some way. He was
unable to recall her by name though
every line Of her face had something
familiar about It; bat his scrupulous
sense of politeness troubled him so
that he went to her.

ment states, but if the advertisement
says certain article will be sold for
four cents or four dollars, that goes,
and If the advertiser should put the
figures up the least little bit, the Gus
toner would raise howl that no sort
OF explanation would quiet The ad-
vertiser might explain about quality
and get away with his published mis-
representation, but figures are figures
and the price that is printed the gen
uine price. The customer knows
enough to claim the full truth as
stated In the advertisement and he
gets it. 1t is reprehensible code of
ethics which permits an advertiser to
misrepresent it one way and not In
another. and, at least, a fair degree
OF consistency should be maintained.
Whether it is contrast, or whether
1t is the innate love of truth that lives
in most consciences, I do not know.
but the advertiser who has proved
himself truthful in his advertisements
so inspires confidence in those who
read that they will put themselves to
almost any Inconvenience to buy from
him and no matter how alluring the
advertisements of the other kind may
read they believe that the only virtue
in the goods offered is in the adver.
tisment. and stick to the real thing.

ADVERTISING EPIGRAMs

ADVERTISING EPIGRAMS
Advertise and keep ad-

made enough money.
The value of advertising
is not in proportion to its
size, but in proportion to it's
persistence.
Don't look for results as
soon as the first man has
read your advertisement.
The newspaper is the old
reliable advertising medium.
A poor joke printed is a
boomerang. A good joke
diverts attention from your
prices of goods.
Put prices in your adver-
tisements.
II you are using a small
space, talk about one ar
tiCle at a time.
Talk about your goods.
not about your firm or what
a fine place your store is.
Sign all your advertise
: inentS the same way.
Advertise the thinq

Be brief. People who
