ae.t rims to Impre.. Public.

'If business men," says Chicago writer, Tie down during the summer months, saying to themselves nothing can be accomplished in the heated season. they are taking fatal view of business fatal because neglect of any chance to add to the volume of their trade Is lost opportunity. Tho fault is their own.
 Such business men forget one pow erfuI factor in advertising the op- portunity of the public to read ad- vertisements.
 No period of the year affords such an opportunity as does the heated sea son. People ensconced In comfort able spots, feeling too indolent to en- gage in any active pursuit. turn to reading matter for means of enjoy ment. recreation and time e-passing.
 "In such time. when business cares are laid aside temporarily. the mind is Tn the most receptive mood of any period of the year. Impressions made by reading are strongest and strong. pungent advertising forces itself on the attention in a way to fix the i'm. pressions gained indelibly on the mind"

ADVERTISING TO cETREsuL1s
The Right kind Certain to Bring an Inereases of BusInsss, for
 thslMerchant.

Advertising Is, simple to, some peo- pie and very difficult and complicated to others The former class never spends dollar on printing ink with out the assurance of good returns The other class sometimes spends thousands of dollars without the slightest result.
 Is it mystery? Not at all. A thoroughly experienced person can tell beforehand whether an advertis- ing campaign will pay. It is not easy to say just what form of advertise ment will give the best results. but it Is easy enough to select the method of advertising which will give such results.
 There is a right way and a wrong way of conducting an advertising cam paign, and good advertisements and good mediums may prove worthless If the advertiser has chosen the wrong way.
 Speaking generally, the mail-order system is one of the wrong ways, al though it may pay individuals It is U1tTbly buU5titutc, a sNAAPOAoay "uS stitute. for the true and tried old sys- tenn of retailing merchandise. Take the case of the retail grocer who sells a private blend of tea and who is try ing to build a big demand through the mails. He may ultimately create . fair business by mail. but 1t should be obvious even to himself that far wider outlet awaits a similar article pushed through the usual trade chan nels.
 Mail order business is an unnatural business and is not likely to be . per manent feature of the country's com merce.
 The magic of advertising? That's right. The magician's wand cannot do the expected job with one wave, however, nor can it work Its wonders through single class of mediums.
 The public must be reached, and each of these branches of the adver- Using job must receive proper treat ment. If one is neglected in the least there will be disappointment. The re- tailer's advertising task is, as rule, much simpler than the manufactur- er's, except, of course, when he wishes to push his own private brands into general distributive channels.

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More Than Clover-Some Wisconsin Census Figures Which Talk
 for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census of the hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew IS 900 acres of alfalfa, which averaged 2.8 tons per acre for the entire state, and the average acre value of the crop was $3100. During the same year the combined acreage of timothy and clover averaged Is tons per acre. valued at $14.00. It costs no more to grow an acre of alfalfa than 1t does to grow an acre of timothy or clover. The average cost of growing an acre of clover or timothy is approximately $10.00. Thus the farmer would clear s4.00 per acre in growing these crops, whereas if he grew alfalfa he would make profit of $2100 per acre, or

ALFALFA
 Alfalfa should be grown on every farm. Make a beginning-start nOzO.
ALFALFA ENRlcHEs THE LAND
Besides Producing More Abundant Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food to the Soil for the Use of
 Other Crops.

Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots of the alfalfa plant penetrate IF to 35 feet into the soil--far beyond the reach of corn, wheat, oats and other shallow roofing plants. In this way potash, phosphorus and oth- CT elements of plant food are drawn up from below through the roots of the alfalfa plant and stored in the upper soil for the use of other crops.

DANGER IN HEADACHE MED-

An overdose of headache med lcIne caused the death of A. bert Parker of Neenah, Wis.,, lately. HIs head had ached Tor a week. Instead of taking the druq he ought to have determin- ed the cause of the headache and applied the natural and safe remedy. 1t seems that every body should now understand that headache medicines, or any other remedies that instant iy relieve pain, are necessarily injurious, even dangerous, De- cause the relief comes from the effect of the drug on the nervous system, which suppresses the
 symptoms without removing the cause of the trouble. Yet the newspapers are constantly re- porting deaths from the use of these remediss.

of error Of discord, of hatred. of
malice, or of jealousy, the mental
machinery would run quietly, smooth
ly, without CULVER.
The man who cannot keep his CEN
tire under all circumstances, who can
not control the fires of temper within
him, who has not power to smother
the volcano of his passion, cannot
boast of self-mastery--he has not ar
rived at real success. The man who
gets off of his throne and lets anarchy
reign. who let's passion rule in the
place of his will, has not arrived at
real manhood.
Most of us have some vulnera BILE
point, some weak, sensitive spot where
we are easily wounded. 1t is great
art to learn to guard this weak point.
The gaining of ones centre, the at
tanning to this complete self-mastery,
becoming so perfectly balanced that
one never hesitates, no matter what
happens, is success indeed. This is
the last lesson of culture.
When your vulnerable point, your
weak point is assailed. all! there is
the test Of character. There is no diff
ficulty in protecting ourselves when
assailed where our armor is thick and
strong. where we are thick-skinned:
but when a thrust is made at our sore
spot where we are weak and sensi-
tive and thin-skinned. when attacked
at our vulnerable point, this is quite
another matter.
1 know a business man who is so
strong in most parts of his character
that it is almost impossible TO throw
him off his centre. He can stand al
most anything when attacked at most
points. but has one vulnerable spot,
and, at the slightest attack there,
goes all to pieces.
This man towers so high above most
people about him in most respects
that they seem dwarfs, mere manni-
kins beside him, and yet he will sacrt-
fee position, reputation, everything II
his sensitive spot is touched.
The result is, that instead Of the
giant he might be, he is weakling.
He does not carry so much weight in
his community as men with tenth
part of his ability, but who are better
poised, because everybody knows
that he is likely to go to pieces at a
very critical moment if this weak
point is touched.

considered this a good chance to get
even. Early in the evening some
body suggested a little game of dol
lar limit
Elihu wasn't anxious, but he was
willing, and the four Of us squared
away around the dining-room table.
almost felt sorry for Elinu for
what We city gentlemen were going
to do to him.
Elihu lost steadily for a half hour,
but didn't complain. About midnight
he boosted the pot five times before
the draw There was a flush,
straight and full house against
him and / felt sorrier than ever for
Elihu. Elihu coughed apologeticallv
and showed four mines, raking In all
that he had lost and SIT besides.
At l o'clock Elihu had held those
four mines three times, had beaten
two full houses with four deuces, had
bluffed us all out twice with pair
OF fours and had held four aces seven
times
He could fill any straight In the
middle or any flush at both ends and
he never dealt anybody better than
pair of sevens, excepting once when
he dealt me a full house and dealt
himself four kings.
Elihu won all of the chips, all OF
our wearing apparel and my Gala
