we make them too artistic. they be-

ADVERTISING IN ENGLAND
Does Not Produce the Results OBJ
tanned In This country-Rates
Are High.

A. d. Lasker, managing director OF
the Lord & Thomas agency Of Chicago.
who arrived In New York recently
from England, where he has spent
some time in studying advertising con-
ditions. has this to say about the sit
uation:
Advertising In England has not
shown sufficiently profitable returns to
warrant a greater outlay for publicity
that is now apparent. and the news
papers, OF course. are as great losers
by this lack OF understanding as the
advertisers themselves.
If English producers and merchants
would adopt similar methods to the
American and pay big money to first
class men, advertising would quickly
tell different story than It does at
present. or course know that adver-
Using rates are high in England. but
the right kind of advertising would be
profitable. Profitable advertising would
mean more OF 1t. and more advertis-
ing would bring down the rates.
Il believe that newspapers make
the best medium for publicity OF all
kinds, because they reach a. wider
field and results are quicker. More
over, newspapers exercise certain
supervision over their advertising col
umns and censor anything that may
be fraudulent in character"

TO KEEP OUT THE DUST
'veII-Like Cloth That VIII Relieve
Housekeeper Of Much Worry
and Labor.

There is a perennial joke about the
dust gathering on mantle where the
mistress calls the attention of the
fact that she "can write her name in
it." getting an answer, with the In,
herent wit. Of how great 1t must be
to have the advantage OF an educa-
ton"
If one were to look further into
this It will also be seen that 1t is
necessary for one to become educated
to the requirement or remedy that
the fact of the dust's presence indi.
Gates and that requirement is the ex-
Guiding of the dust to the best OF
ones knowledge and ability.
AS the wire screen is manufac-
tured to exclude the fly. SO is there a
veil-like cloth texture of net, though
slightly rougher and much cheaper.
which can be applied to the use OF
keeping out the ever present dust to a
very great extent.

in the reach Of practically everyone,
and when one thinks of the fearful
toll of human life that dust-carried
germs are wont to take. there will be
no hesitation in applying this as we'll
as any other remedy that may come
to our notice during our daily routine
This material can be tackled on the
inside of screens and If one resides on
very dusty street 1t can be doubled
for better effect AS 1t does not ex-
clude the light or air but is effective
where the dust is concerned. 1t will
be availed OF all the more quickly
when 1t is known that 1t also pre-
cludes the entering of the much-hated
malarial mosquito.
Where the dust is extremely heavy
in the street it is the best plan to do
all the ventilating only from the back
of the house and 1t Is seldom that
draughts cannot be caused to clean
out the air in the veriest cranny-like
closet or wardrobe.

DIET FOR DELICATE CHILD
Food That Is Easily Assimllated by
Weak Stomach and Gives Suff-
cient Nourishment.

In caring for weak child. the i'm
portant thing is to keep the bowels
open. A simple diet is as follows:
Breakfast. dry toast whole wheat
bread preferredj and a coddled egg:
don't let the white get hard. Dinner
the same. and for supper glass Of
skinned milk with a little hot wa
ter in it. with dry toast. just enough
to take the chill OF the milk. and get
it in the proper condition for weak
stomach. For a school lunch or lit
tie variety we give our girl Dutch
rusks. This diet is TO eliminate the
gas and fermentation, and frequent
ly we give pinch of soda to keep
the stomach sweet.
Never allow day to pass without a
movement Of the bowels, and when
ever the eyes are red or bloodshot or
infiamed, resort to high injections; II
you don't understand about the latter
a trained nurse should be con-
suited.
Don't allow candy or sweet stuff
of any kind to enter the child's weak
stomach. The diet given above seems
to be what weak stomach will take
care of and .seems to be sufficient
nourishment Get strictly fresh eggs
and give plenty of fresh air. You will
have to watch and learn what is and
what is not agreeing with him.
Doctors can assist some. but It is
case Of constant care and nursing
on your part rather than going to
different doctors from time to time.
Watch for the red or infiamed eyes.
which is a sign of constipation.

MUscOvY DUCK IS PECULIAR

To appreciate the beauty OF Mus

There are two varieties. the coiored

and very beautiful. The drake Is ex-
tremely large. weighing when ma
tured between ten and twelve pounds.
The white Muscovies are the same as
the coiored excepting that they are
entirely white. The peculiaritiss Of
the Muscovies are numerous and In
teresting. They never quack, but
make q queer husky, kissing sound.
Both ducks and brakes ny like
pigeons. but the ducks being Of lighter
weight, can fly "a greater distance.
They will rise from the barnyard,
circle forty-acro field and finally
alight in almost the same spot from
which they started. They roost on
barns and other high places. The
ducks are splendid layers. They
usually build their nests in lofts and

Good Advertising Means More Than
Newspaper PuhlicIty-prones
and Workers.

As rule. II a newspaper prints a
talk on advertising. the reader takes
It for granted the newspaper Is
boosting" its own wares, its advertis-
ing space. Newspaper advertising. al
though the most far reaching. is not
the only successful means OF adver
Using and the subject OF advertising
ones business can be probably dis
cussed without laying too much stress
on the newspapers as the proper me-
dunn.
Over so per cent. OF the business en-
terprises started in this country fail.
This assertion may seem astounding.
but look back over the history OF near
ly any city for the past five years. AS
you go down the street try to remem-
Der what business occupied this and
that room few years ago. You will
be astonished by the results OF your
investigation.
OF those business establishments
that manage to survive only about
half do really profitable business.
This does not mean that business has
been slack. It simply means that bus
mess men. like those OF all other
cities. are divided into two classes. the
drones and the workers. The work
er's place is known throughout the
country, whereas the drone's place or
business is known to only. few

The drone. ON the other hand. al.
though he may be able to make q
living. records no growth in his bust
ness as the years go on. His display
window is dusty and the goods he dis
plays have been seen there for
months. His store Is dark and has,
hardly enough business to keep one
clerk active. Outside the name on the
front. you know nothing about his
business. He may have many things
that you want, but he has never told
you so. for advertising costs too
much. hence he has not got your
trade and has but little chance OF
getting It. He may spend dollar
or two now and then on n newspaper
ad, but If his store is not filled with
customers the next day he tells you
that ne can see no good In advertis-
ing.

alize that you cangot get business
