PROTECTION FOR THE TOTS
Cheap and Efficient Screen That May
Be Placed Around the Heat
ing Stove.

So mary little children who are just
toddling about get burned by falling
against the heating stove, that every
stove where there are children about
should have some sort of a screen
made about it. For several years we
used one made of common 26-inch
field fence, made of No. IL wire.
Simply cut enough of the wire to
reach around the stove with about six
inches Of space between the screen
and the stove.
Make base Of 2x4 lumber, as the
wire alone is not heavy enough to
stay in place. 1t should not be nailed
to the floor, but SO it can be raised
up or sweeping, etc.
If heavy zinc board is used under
the stove the screen can be made to
just fit on the outside of 1t and thus
be more firmly fixed in place.

very economical method when the

method they retain every bit of their

best to use little water in the pan
when baking them, so they are thus
partly steamed. Unless they are COW

PRESS BEST TO REACH PEOPLE
Erecting Big Buildings Is Not
Profitable Advertising,

Many attempts have been made Il
invent methods of advertising thai
will be superior to the ordinary med
iums like the newspapers, magazines
street cars and billboards. In thf
search for novelty hundreds O.
schemes have been devised. and al
though some have been effective to g
degree a majority have been absolute
failures.
A fine building is regarded as a good
advertisement of a business, just as
good clothes produce a favorable i'm
preston upon those with whom theiI
wearer comes in contact The observ
er who sees it regards it as an evi
dence of prosperity and responsib.
ity. The Equitable Assurance Asso
cations building, recently destroyed
by fire; the Singer and Metropolitan
towers. the tallest office structures in
the world. were erected not SO much
for these several institutions as to
provide striking and impressive ad
vertisements.
Immense buildings like these rarely
produce sufficient amount Of rev,
enue to pay even small interest on
their cost. When there is deficit II
is charged, as likely as not, to the ad
vertising account. The question that
Is sometimes considered in board
meetings Is, "Is it worth the price?''
and the usual conclusion is that it is
not. 1t is reported that the Equitable
which at one time had plans prepared
for a skyscraper that should overtop
all others and which would cost from
$20,000,000 to $30,000,000, has aban,
doned the project.
The success of insurance companies
depends upon the amount of policies
they can write during the year, and
the Singer company relies upon its
sales of sewing machines to furnish
dividends for its stockholders. Have
the buildings erected by these COM
panies materially increased the bust.
ness Of either one? We doubt it. says
the Editor and Publisher. In order
to SCI anything to the public you must
present to that public, either through
your salesman or through the news
papers or magazines, a description of
what you have to SELL Palatial and
artistically constructed buildings can
not take the place of real, persuasive
advertising in popular mediums
Therefore, how much better off all
three of the great companies mention,
ed above would be today If they had
taken the millions they have spent in
erecting colossal Office buildings and
spent them in acquainting every man
and woman in the country through
popular and effective advertising me-
diums with what they have to sell.
Newspapers penetrate every city
town and hamlet in the United States
They are read because the people de
pend upon them for the news of the
neighborhood, state or nation. They
are throbbing with life. They bring
messages of cheer to the shut-ins, they
broaden the horizon of those who live
In isolated communities, they reach
the homes of all who have money to
spend. If any one has a message OF
any kind to deliver he can find no bet
ter or quicker way of delivering It to
the whole people than through the
newspapers.

So, 900 contest entitle purchasers to votes
whether or not they are bought at stores
which advertise in the competition.
Many of the contestants were Of the
opinion that in order TO receive votes
for label products advertised in the con-

them at the manufacturers establish
.ment alone. For instance. one competitor
told The Advocate he was under the i'm

to purchase the cream at the factory
or at one of the stores advertising in

advisable, however, for persons to buy
the label product at the establishments
Of merchants who are advertising in the

Are Bad Risks.
John NJ. Cherry, general agent Of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, has a different view of the matter.
ct have not given much thought to
the matter" he said, but off-hand l
should say that society women were I'M
questionably bad risks. The fact is that
there are practically no companies which
will write insurance on them. l should
think that on account OF the lives which
many of them lead they would be very
undesirable risk
The statement that society women
are bad risks is an absurd one said J.
Dolph, superintendent of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company. Such
sweeping generalizations should not be
made. Every case Is law unto Itself,
and each must be Judged on its own
merits. There are probably society
women who are undesirable risks on ac-
count of the lives they lead. but it must
be remembered that such cases are like
wise found among men and among bust
ness women.
Women as 4 class are undesirable
risks, because their deaths in most cases
do not constitute money losses. Lives
are insured for what they are worth. II
they were insured for more than their
value We would have a constant slaugh-
ter of humanity. Insurance is usually
written on men because they are the
breadwinncrs. and their death means a
distinct money loss. Business women
have a money value. and consequently
are considered good risks. Married
women are looked upon with hesitancy'
because in most cases they are not pro-
ducers.
Laughs at Action.
ITO apply the term Of bad risk to So
ciety women in general seems to me
foolish. I know many prominent society
women who are insured heavily. and the
companies consider them exceedingly
good risks"
Orville B. Drown. manager Of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company. had a good laugh over the
matter yesterday. Then he characterized
1t as foolish.
IT don't see why this shot should be
fired at society women" he said. 1T Is
