Steady advertising counts every
time The poultryman who spurts
up and does "a lot of advertising IN
a short time and then drops out
never amounts 10 much. People
forget about him and his stock, and
when they are ready 10 purchase
stock or eggs they very naturally
turn to the regular advertiser with
whom they have become acquaint-
ed simply by having his name and
business eyerlastingly before them.
Any man who has the qualifica-
tion Of hanging on 10 a thing as
long as he sees any one In the
business and Is endowed with good
sound judgment should be able 70
make a good living for himseif and
his family with his bare hands.
And the man who has several thou
sands Of dollars at his command
TO invest should certainly do more
than this. The poultry business is
no different from any other buHi-
ness. AMI. having the same amount
Of money and brains put into It,
should bring as satisfactory re-
turns but II can not be done In
year or two az them. Il takes time
and patience.
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-03-12

In order to reach the highest de-
gree of success, 4 is necessary for
those engaged in some business to
use their best faculties. Not only
that, but they should be supplied
with all the energy and enthusiasm
in their natures. II this Is done
and continued for a proper length
OF time, II is astonishing what may
be accomplished. ANY man or
woman who applies these faculties
with judgment and reason is sure
to be successful.
The quality of stick-to it t-iveness
10 very essential and is the one piv-
otal point upon which so many fail
Very many run the poultry busi-
ness as long as things come their
way and II is smooth sailing, but
Just as soon as they strike a snag
they back out, throw down their
tools and quit the Job. While the
man who is to make a success Of IL,
and seems to have been destined
for success In life, may back off
little, he does so to gain little
more headway to enable him TO
pass through the obstruction.
Steady work is the kind that
counts.

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Monty trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half of
the time there were running sores
around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at time before they
were healed. There were many nights
l did not sleep because of the great
suffering. The sores were deep run
ming ones and so sore that could not
bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and
sting like lot of bees were confined
around my ankle. I could not bear to
scratch it, it was always so sensitive
to the touch. l could not let nay
clothes touch it. The skin was very
red. 1 made what. called a cap out
of white felt, plotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
I wore night and day.
II tried many remedies for most Of
the eighteen years with no effect
Last summer / sent for some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The very first
time I used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment l gained relief; they relieved the
pain right then. It was three months
from the time I commenced using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the
sores were entirely healed. l have
not been troubled since and my ankle
seems perfectly WELL" (Signed) Mrs
Charles e. Brooke, Oct. %, 1912.

Natural Aptitude to Grasp Situation

Mrs. Gregory rosa, and spoke
through her mothers ear-trumpet:
"Shall we go home, row9"
THAT Fran" repeated Grace, "is q
show-girl! She is eighteen or nineteen
years old, and she is show-girl!"
Wouldn't 1t be best for you to ask
her?'
"Ask her? Her? No, l ask you'll"
LET me push the chair" said Alb
bott, stepping to Mrs. Gregorys side.
He read in the troubled face that she
had known this secret, also.
The secretary gazed at him with a
far-away look, hardly conscious that
he was beating retreat, so absorbed
was she in this revelation. 1t would be
necessary for some one to go to
Springfield to make Investigations.
Grace had for ever alienated Abbott
Ashton, but there was always Robert
Clinton. He would obey her every
wish; Robert Clinton should go. And
when Robert had returned with full
history of Hamilton Gregory's school
days at Springfield, and those of Greg
ory's intimate friends, Fran, with the
proofs of her conspiracy spread before
her, should be driven forth, never
again to darken the home of the phil
anthropist.

''I am your friend, too, FIR

II am your friend, too, Fran"
MY friend, tool" she echoed bit
bsrly. ooh, thanks-also!"
Abbott came through the gate, and
tried to read her face. "Does the fact
that 1 am her friend condemn me?''
mo - Just Classics you. You
couldn't be her friend if you were not
mirror in which she sees herself;
her conscience is 80 sure, that she
hasn't use for anything but faithful
reflector of her opinions"
"Her friends are mere puppets, it
appears" Abbott said, smiling. But
that's rather to her credit, isn't 1t?
Would you mind to explain your imagi-
nation of her character"
His testing tone made her lmpa-
tient. II don't think her character
has ever had a chance to develop;
she's too fixed on thinking herself
what she isn't. Her opinion OF what
she ought to be is so sure, that she
has never discovered what she really
is. And you can't possibly hold Sc
cret from her, if you're her friend; she
takes it from you as one snatches a
toy from little child"
Abbott was still amused. HAS she
emptied me of all she wants?"
Yes. You have given her strong
weapons against me, and you may be
sure she'll use them to her advantage"
Fran, step back into the light-let
