Mr.. Merchant Do You
Advertise?

C. w. Post, the millionaire breakfast food manu-
facturer, at dinner given to his employees some
time ago, in response to toast to the success of his
foods, said: Gentlemen, | appreciate the delight
ful compliment paid to our breakfast food, which,
of merits your favor and the applause of the
world, but would not have you forget that the
cess CT this venture is also keen compliment to the
science of advertising"
That's true it proves what advertising will do If
you will find some use for common white sand, and
advertise it extensively ond udicousy it will be as
gold mine.
Why it is that merchants are afraid to venture out
IN this line is hard to understand. Every business
man knows it pays to advertise. Every business
man knows millions have been made with some COM
mon article not always even necessity, but adver-
tise properly. Every business man knows that the
mos prosperous merchants are the heaviest ADVERT
sers; yet the average man does not seem to grasp
necessity.
You will be aid and infrm, before trade will in
crease without the use of printers ink in some form
The personal testimonials Of your few customes will
be long time reaching around the community.
Advertise, and get your personal workers band
enlarged and instead of half dozen or so families
get dozens and treat them so well that they are
compelled to talk about your merchandise.
See here, Mr.: Merchant to sum up, you must
make your advertising intelligent campaign
planning with the same thought used in the selec-
tion of the merchandise.
Advertise your goods and you will sell them as
sure as two and TWO make four.

Why EIsio Wss Sent TO Bed.

While little Elsie's elder sister,
Nay, was entertaining her latest ac-

teel young man, in the parlor Elsie
was relegated to the dining room to
play with her doll.
This particular one, the possessor
of kid body and a bisqne head, had
been somewhat ailing of late, owing
to the fact that its head was grad

pivotal eyes refused to perform
their functions of opening and
closing. After considerable prob

Elsie made the discovery that there
was something inside of it and final

She Stumped Gladstone.

The story is told that at Hawar-
den one morning little Dorothy
Drew refused to get up. When all
other means had failed to coax her
out of bed Mr.. Gladstone was
called.
"Why won't you get up, my
child ?'' he asked.
"Why, grandfather, didn't you
tell me to do what the Bible says?"
asked Dorothy.

"Well, it disapproves of early ris-
ing; says it's a waste of time"
Mr.. Gladstone knew his Bible bet
ter than most men, but he was not
equal to Dorothy. For once in bis
| life he was nonplused.
"You listen, then," went on
Dorothy in reply to his exclamation
of astonishment, and, turning up
her Bible, she read the second verse
Of the One Hundred and Twenty
seventh Psalm, laying great empha-
sis on the first words, 'It Is vain for
You to rise up early"

The nutmeg is the kernel of the
fruit of several species of trees
growing wild in Asia, Africa and
America. The cultivated nutmeg
tree is from fifty to seventy-fve
feet high and produces fruit for
sixty years. The fruit is of the
size and appearance of roundish
pear, yellow in color. Tie fleshy
part of the fruit is rather hard and
resembles candied citron. Within
is the nut, enveloped in the curious
yellowish red aril known to us as

ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP.
Weak Tea Invites Sleep and Improves
the Complexion.

I advise those who consult me
upon the tired complexion to in
dulge in what is called the English
beauty cup. Mr.. Gladstone took it
each night of his life as long as he
had health, and it is the cup which
keeps many an English beauty 60
ing. 1t is simply tea, but tea made
without the nerve destroying at
tributes. If properly made it in
vites sleep.
You take half a small coffee
spoon of tea, and you scatter it in
the bottom of a very large cup.
The German coffee cups are best
for this purpose. Over this you
pour as much boiling, bubbling wa
ter as the cup will hold.
The saucer is placed on the top
Of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now
comes the big wadded tea cozy,
which must be thrown over all. Ii
is an oddly shaped coy, made to
cover cup and saucer. 1t stands for
FIVE minutes to steep.
Now comes the scientific part 'ot
the cup. You take three very thin
slices of lemon, and you lay them
in big hot cup. On top of the
slices of lemon you place bic
maraschino, and then on top of al
you pour in the tea, putting il
through a strainer.
The result will be a fine, weak
hot, but healthful cup of tea with
just the right flavor of lemon. You
can have sugar if you want it, and
Gladstone's rule of three big Jumps
will do you no harm, for sugar is 9
great builder up of the muscles.
By the way, if you are tagged out
day or night, try eating a little
sugar. A lump of sugar will re-
store the stomach and take away
that tired feeling. Sugar is recon-
mended to women whose cheeks are
hollow. 1t has a way OF building uT
tissue.
A big cup of tea at night is ex
cellent, but the trouble is that most
persons make it too strong. The
weaker the better. The same is true
Of coffee, which, if taken veal
enough and with plenty of gooc
sugar, acts as a nightcap. Not one
person in a thousand can make il
right. In Paris the French beauty
takes her foaming cup Of whipped
chocolate after tie theater with 9
biscuit, or she sips her cafe au lait
which is mostly milk. - Londor

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling TO Thlnss
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years q person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps of ribbons and laces-if
it's man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock to old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles of maga-
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention bicycle seat and
green umbrella that one might use
in private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
ily, If they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung to
through moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight
est hope of tho cver being cured.
They will thin from an attic point

When people are willing to maks

New Sort of Souvenir,

Many women who are travelling this
summer, either in America or Eu-
rope, are gathering bedroom door
knockers. These knockers are sold
in the shops, in a smaller size than
the ones that are used on the out
side doors of houses. But knockers
collected personally are of much great
er interest than the kind you buy by
the dozen. They are fastened to the
hall side of bedroom doors, and not
only form a picturesque addition to
the furnishings of the hall, but save
the knuckles of the maid or guest
who would enter an unoccupied room.
In New England, in spite CT the
relic-hunting visitors, there are some
interesting old knockers. In Europe,
too, there are good knockers to be
found, if you search diligently.
