Down with Fraudulent Advertising.
Public and publishers alike welcome
the work now being done by the adj
yertising clubs to put an end to fake
and fraudulent advertising. The clubs
are not the only force working to re-
form advertising. Some newspaper
publishers are doing much in the same
direction Many of them have adopt
ed rules excluding fake advertising of
all kinds, including many patent med
ieines, loan sharks, bogus employment
agents, fake mining schemes medical
quaeks. clairvoyants, fortune tellers,
etc Some have even gone so far as to
guarantee the character of the adver-
tisements appearing in their columns,
This latter plan, however, is Just a
little beyond the point which most
publishers consider expedient. They
think they have done their duty when
they do the best they can to cut off
the bats put out by eharacterless and
men who live on the pro4
duct of their wits and at the expense
of honesty. The business offices of the
best newspapers nowadays have hab-
it of asking embarra ssing questions
and extravagant advertising claims.
Instead of going out to beg for adver-
Using to keep the breath of life in
them. the newspapers of the cleanest
advertising pages are sought by the
best advertisers because they reach
and are read by the better classes of
people. As declared in a recent issue of
Editor and Publisher
After all is said and done it seems
to US that the purifying of newspaper
columns of fraudulent advertising can
ne brought about by the publishers
alone If they resolutely refuse to ad-
init to their mediums tainted or mis-
representative advertising, no matter
what price is offered or what influence
is brought to bear to secure its inser-
ton Objectionable advertisements will
never again be seen in an American
newspaper.
The burden of responsibility resting
upon the shoulders of the publisher is
becoming heavier each year. He must
have the confidence of the public he
serves or his newspaper is a failure In
order to run it he must show that he
is honest, .enterprising and trustwor-
thy. He must give a square deal, must
be patriotic. sympathetic and work for
the true interests of the community
From the viewpoint of nine-tenths of
the intelligent readers of newspapers
the publishers are the sentineIs on the
mountain-tops, whose duty it is to
warn them of approaching danger"

A little story was going the rounds,
Tuesday, at Cooper's Mills, Whitefield,
which afforded the good people of that
prosperous town. an amount of amuse-
ment that was by no means small.
1t seems that on Monday evening the
Democrats Of that part of the town
had a celebration because of recent
election results, and taken all in all
it Was quite a momentous occasion.
They had the Jefferson band to dis
course music, burned some red fire,
Roman candles, etc, and these fea-
lures, combined with the enthusiasm
manifested on all sides, resulted in q
general good time. Several residences
at Coopers Mills We're also illuminated
in honor of the occasion, but where
the joke came in was the fact that
the residence of one of the most prom
inent Democrats was in darkness, not
a light appearing in the windows.
This is said to have been the cause of
some speculation and subsequent in
quiry, and but the solution Was simple,
and it was speedily learned that while
the head of the house is Democrat,
his better-half is Republican, and
in the household her word is law.

with the same fascinating rhythm and

quite as rapt as that he bestows on
the above mentioned nursery tales.
Take, for instance, such poems as
Longfellow's The Wreck Of the Hes

There never was a child who has not
loved these beautiful poems. Substi-
tute such poems as these for Little
Jack Horner" and Jack Spratt." and
the latter will never be missed.
1t is really very easy to instill in a

lyrics. and every mother should make
the attempt at least. Surely none Of

HER LAST LEAPS.

saw her once before
In the short skirts she wore,
And again
She went dancing round and round.
With vince at every bound,
AS in pain.
They say that in her prime,
Ere the cruel hand of Time
Hurt her SO,
She possessed a pretty face
And could hop from place to place
On one toe.
But now her look Is sad,
And she moves as if she had
Aching feet;
Every bald-head's look is grim
AS she glances down at him
In his seat.
My old granddad oft has said
Poor old grandpa, he is dead,
Long ago
That she once was all the rage
AS she skipped upon the stage,
To and fro.
But she's flat and flabby now
And as graceful as cow
On the trot;
l know it is a sin
For me to sit and grin,
So I'll not.
In the chorus let her stay;
1t may be her only way
To survive;
You may cease to be a peach
Too, young lady, when you reach
Sixty-five.

Popular Amusement.

A delightful way to amuse children,
and incidentally their parents, is by
illustrating a fairy story, the title of
which is guessed by those watching
the performance.
Select a simple. well known story
and divide it into short parts or acts.
Then let the children act the various
parts in dumb show, using gestures
without speech, which are not hard
to teach very small children.
The idea is q good one for bazaars
or school entertainments where a pub
lie performance can be the climax of
several rehearsals.
If possible dress the little actors in
costume and let the performance be
given to the accompaniment of sugges-
tive music that will help them to make
the right gestures at the proper time.

for
Mothers
Teach Household Duties,

1t behooves mothers to teach their
daughters the commonest requisites of
a good housekeeper. The culinary art
is perhaps the most essential After
that comes sewing, then sweeping and
busting and, last, bedmaking.
To most children 1t is JOY without
end to mess around in the kitchen,
king candies and sweets of all
kinds. 1t is therefore a simple task to
turn their inclinations toward greater
accomplishments along the same lines.
The little girl who loved mud pies at
three or four would delight in making
the real thing at nine or ten IL some one
would only teach her. Cooking has a
fascination for most of the feminine
sex from the age Of three, when their
baking is done by the sun and their
materials supplied by the mud Of the
streets, to the time when they lay
down their last utensiL Why not turn
this undeniable fascination to practical
account?
To children it will come as most
charming game, but in the meantime
the game is teaching them things that
may prove we'll for them to know. In
playing this game, however, mother
must take care not to tire the child of
it's delight, for If it once pals on her
the little girl will not care to play
again.
The first time she may make the
dough for the bread or cake or pie by
herself, then let the cook or the moth
er finish the task. The next time she
will want to see it to a finish herself.
Most children take naturally to the
other forms Of housework too. A
small broom and a diminutive brush
and dustpan will give many little girls
great amusement. The way to clean
room thoroughly can be taught
gradually while the child is playing
with these most practical toys.
Bedmaking, too, comes easy to the
small mother Of a large family. The
real mother should show the child how
the little bed should be aired when
the doll first arises. Then after an
hours airing (cut down to FIVE min.
utes for child's play she should show
the little girl the exact way in which
the sheets should be smoothed. the
covers adjusted and the counterpane
spread over all.
These instructions begun in play will
come as an invaluable aid in after life
