WHAT ADS HAVE ATTAINED

John Lee MahIn Tells Value 81
Cooperation.

John Lee Mahin, president OF the
Mahir dvertising company, addressed
the students OF the Northwestern Uni
Versity School OF Commerce. on the
progress OF the advertising business
recently. He said the question q
placing before the public the mSr,
chants story regarding his wares had
advanced during the last few years
until now it is one Of the most i'm.
Dortant items in the business world.
Formerly the personal salssmaH
was the advertising medium Of Ais
house" Mr. Mahin said. He did ali
of the talking and writing about his
line. But now times have changed
and 1t is the advertising writer whe
does this work In a broader manner
and with the assistance of the perN
sonal salesman
Advertising and salesmanship are
related very closely at the present
time, and as matter of fact the CO.
operation OF the salesman and the ad-
vertising writer has brought the bust
ness to what it Is today. We cannot
cooperate without getting results, and
the wise salesman does not work
alone, but employs tools which come
within his reach, such az the newspa-
pers, street car advertising and the
bill boards.
There are a number O. tests which
apply both to the personal salesmaR
and the advertising writer The two
most important are the method Of the
writer and sincerity.
I'm modern advertising the words Of
the writer must be placed before the
public In the most plausible manner.
Anyone can write and anyone can tell
stories, but 1t takes the ADVERTISING
writer to take the words and phrases
and place them where the best results
will be had
THE second test is sincerity n
advertising, as we'll as In every ether
thing that Is done in business, one
Of the most important factors is sim
cerity. You must be sincere in what
you claim for the article which IL be-
ing advertised The best way to con-
Quer this is to have faith In yourself.

lMPARTlNG FRAGRANCE TO TEA
the Chinese to Give Sewerage
the Desired Aroma. &

It is estimated that the Chinese con
sumo annually five pounds of tea for
each member OF the population. It
grows in small patches around the
homesteads, plantations being prao-
tically unknown. The leaves are pick
ed by members Of the family and
dried in the sun, being subsequently
handed over to the middlemen, who
subject them to the process of firing.
IN the case of green tea the leaves
are roasted almost Immediately after
they are gathered, and dried OF quick
ly after being rolled into balls by hand
and squeezed. There are usually
three pickings-early IN April, when
the leaves are covered with whitish
down Ga limited output known as pc
koe); toward the middle of May and
again In August. Brick tea is made
by pressing the damp tea In mold
in the form of a brick, s to IL inches
long and about one inch thick The
fragrance of all scented tea is not
natural. but impaired by firing the
leaf with a sort of jasmine flower.
called by the Chinese "mok-lee." In
inferior teas the seeming flower Is
strewn over the top of the tea when
packed and removed after a day or
two. Flowery pekoes are white, vel
vety tipped teas with no fragrance
and are unfermented.

The hauling of theatrical company.
was In charge OF Agent Lindsey, says
the New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times-Star He contracted,
TO take complete charge of a goods

The contract was good one, and Mr.
Lindsey determined to make the occat

he to the theatrical agent. IT will

So he bought all the steaks and

and undertook to feed those chorus,

For dinner that night thirty-eight Of
the company ordered eggs in soms

eggs. At breakfast the next morning
the entire company Of forty wanted
eggs, and not one of them wanted
those eggs as any other one wanted
them. At luncheon thirty-two de-
manded more eggs. That night the

Premature Burial.

M. Thoinot, professor of forensic
medicine to the Paris Academic de
Medicine, has been lecturing upon
premature burial, an accident the fear
of which is, perhaps, not so prevalent
as 1t was in the days of Edgar Poe.
He gave an interesting description Of
the many inventions devised for the
avoidance of this, including the inser-
ton of breathing tube in the mouth
of the corpse, which is brought
through the lid of the coffin and pro-
jected from the grave. But he declared
that no precaution was so satisfactory
as that of delaying the burial until
the signs of putrefaction are apparent.
The provisions Of the code Napoleon,
which ordain that no burial shall take
place until twenty-four hours after
death and inspection by the medical
authority of the district, are, he said.
entirely adequate on this point. and
If they are carried out to the full, no
one need have any fear Of being bur-
led alive.

relatives in the big city, that the
photographer was unpardonably dis
courteous. For three successive days
be refused to take Aunt Maria's photo
graph. On the fourth day he told
why.
I'm justice to her." he said, II do
not want to take her pictures now.
She is too homesiek. Most out-of-
town people want to be photographed
while in the city. II they are longing
for home put them of with one ex-
cuse or another until the homesick-
ness wears of.
''If you want your aunt's pictures to
turn out well, just hunt up some one
from her home town who happens to
be visiting here at present and bring
him here so she will meet him unex-
pectedly. The meeting will put sparkle
and animation into her face, and nei-
Their she nor / will be disappointed
