Advertising And Quality

Quality is the only permanent
basis of success in any article.
There is little money in selling
an article once. The profit
comes when you sell some one
some kind of thing over andover
again. To get that kind of
trade you must deliver the
goods.
A business man who paid
down good money to advertise
goods that he could not back up
would be a fool. The wider he
distributed them, the more
trouble he would have. Not
merely would the goods come
back, hut the people who bought
them and were disappointed
would tell all their neighbors.
This would create bad Will in
stead of good will.
The public understands these
facts perfectly. When q mer-
chantttalks publicly about his
goods. the public looks at it as
q guarantee Of good quality. In
fact, advertising standardizes
quality. The public accepts
statements made in q well adj
vertised store ct face value,

feeling that the merchant is
under the bonds of publicity to
make good.

The secret Of success: aim
high and shoot often and work
like the devil between shots.
Marriage is a tie, which may
account for the fact so many
fellows are roped in.
Friends are Of two kinds,
those we need and those who
need us.
Mighty few welcomes come
with the guarantee not to wear
out.
Everybody has a lot to tell
that you have no right to hear.
A man never realizes how
cheap talk is until some woman
offers him a penny for his
thoughts.
The straight and narrow path
is generally avoided by the
rounder.
No man succeeds unless he
takes chances neither does he
fail.

Learn to Do With Less Sleep

THE beauty sleep'' theory has suc-
 cessor. You must now learn to do without sleep as much as possible.
 Of course sleep Is half conscious pleasure; but, like other pleasures. it is a great waste Of valuable time. If you learn the rules of the new theory you will have opportunity to read those books you intended to finish last month or go to the theater oftener OF do work which will increase your income.
 And now Thomas Edison says we need only two hours of sleep a night Physicians have formerly maintained that g woman needs from seven to nine hours sleep night, while most men need take only five or six. They ac- count for the difference by explaining that women are nervous by teEnpera- ment and that sleep is the only thing that will counteract this fault.
 When Edison was sixty-seven years of age he conducted a forty day cam paign for the perfection of his phono- graph and took onlyftwo hours of sleep each day. And now he has converted his wife to the short sleep theory
 He says that little eating proIonEs life and makes the eight hour sleep uE- necessary. He believes that the baby fs quite creature of habit and that one can just as well teach cells to re- pair the weariness of the day in four or i've hours as in ten or twelve.

turkeys or chickens to soak in a pan of cold water. Juices are withdrawn from the flesh by soaking, a portion of the nourishment is lost and the meat is made tasteless. If there is any odor about the flesh 1t Is unfit for food. Neither washing nor soaking will re- move the taint- If through rnischance the gall or intestines are broken quick ly wipe off the flesh.
 To truss, cut neck off near the breast. fold skin to back. place wings close to backbone lengthwise, take a single stitch through the three and tie.> Slip the ends of the drumsticlxs under the strap of skim press their own skin down over them, fasten over the joint with stitch and tie closely to the trump.
 This method gives two stitches for the trusting and the fowl will remain compact if securely tied. If 8 trusting needle is not at hand a long alarming needle will do, or the ends of the legs may be tied together. then tied down to the trump and the string crossed and recrossed over the legs. body and wings and finished at the side.

r1ilady's Coiffure
 Lofty Crown Of Glory

WHAT is the ultimate end of the new
 high coiffure? Nobody seems to know. nobody dares predict. Higher and higher the coiffure is climbing un- til at the present time it is rivaling the famous structures Attributed to the days of Marie Antoinette.
 Those. as we all know. were verttable hirsute skyscrapers. They lowered above the piquant little faces of the ladies of the French court, giving them an odd. elongated appearance that no one pretended to think pretty. but every one admitted was smart
 Is the modern maid trying to follow this example? Is she aiming to erect on her own head lofty crown of glory. made of well brushed. gltstening strands of hair drawn up over high structure which is obviously artificial? ? No human head could be as high or as pointed as the feminine heads one sees in evidence everywhere. Therefore it is only reasonable to suppose that some sort of support is given to the enormously high cultures of the pres ent day and that art, not nature, is re- sponsible for the freakish profile there- by produced.
 When the high coifure was first in- troduced tt was very pretty thing, simple in outline, high, to be sure, when compared with the low mode of dress

Next remove the crop Turn fowl on
 breast. cut skin to the bone with. a long gash down the back of neck. Turn the skin back over breast and carefully
 loosen; then remove the crop by talk ing 1t in the hand and cutting the part
 fastened to fntestines at neck. Loosen heart and lungs through crop opening.
 Turn fowl on it's back and make two horizontal cuts nearly across and quite low the body to form a band of skin about an inch wide for condning the druTnsticks in trussing.
 Through lower cut insert two fingers and loosen intestines at back. With additional aid of the thumb grasp the gizzard and intestines, together and carefully remove them whole. i Relax hold moment. With a sharp
 knife cut around the large intestine and the turkey or chicken is cleaned. As
 sure yourself that heart and lungs are out; cut oil sack and a small wedge from center of extreme point. Wipe inside the body with a. wet cloth to re-
 move blood clots and the fowl is ready for trusting.

ARE Nou RLAsE2

FTNHE woman who is not interested in
 things in general or something in particular is an uninteresting corn- panion- No matter how beautiful she may be, her charm will be minimized or of short duration.
 The victim of ennut or indifference victimizes everybody about !her Her friends may look upon her and admire her beauty, but she is decidedly unin- teresting, and even a little bit of her society is generally an overdose. To be b1ase is not to be tnteresting. If you are weary Of everything in life you need the attention of physician: there is something wrong with you. mentally and physically.
 Something new and interesting in this world is cropping out every min ute The most interesting people are those who see things and get all pos- sible pleasure out of them. An exfi- bition of indifference to things about you is not an evidence of intelligence Intelligent people are the ones whose eyes are open. That is the way they become intelligent Such people are the most interesting. Sometimes they are so interesting that even if they happen to lack beauty that fact Is for gotten in admiration for their intellect
 Some one has said that everybody -Should ride a hobby.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-12-03

A soon as the turkey or chicken comes from market singe 1t over a burning gas jet, Pay special attention to the wings. Light a twisted piece Of heavy wrapping paper in baking pan or coal scuttle and singe the; fowl over it. Flavor and appearance of the flesh will be Injured if discolored by soot. As soon as singed wash skin of fowl in a pan of cold water and rinse with clear water; wipe dry.
 Cut off head, leaving neck long. Re- move feet with stnews from leg att tached. Gut skin at side ot joint rln knife lightly over the top and bend leg back until sinews on top are exposed. Loosen these one by one with 8 skewer or strong fork. Grasp the upper part of the leg and hold it firmly while loosen ing the fragments and they can be pull ed out clear of flesh. Cut through tough muscle of joint. expose fragments on under side again grasp flesh of leg and draw these out singly- Cut through touch muscle at back. Five sinews should come from the upper and two from the under side Treat the other leg in the same way.

ing the hair which was popular at the time Of its introduction, but not so high as to be unbecoming and ridiculous. The hair drawn straight off the fore head was lovely on some women and others, not quite so lovely, determined that they. too would like to try the new mode. The result was 8 perfect riot of high cultures. Women with long, thin faces; women with fat, round faces; women with high, women with low foreheads, all took up the new style. As was to be expected. this form of coffure was not heeoning to all. but because 1t was smart t re- tained many fonowers-too many. one
 might say, after looking at the ma jority Of women.
 Exaggeration, of course soon found it's Yay into the high coifrure. Where 1t wAs once merely high it Is now be- coming monumental Higher and high CT it climbs, closer and closer to the side of the head, until the effect pro- duced is very conica1. and one might say comical too.
 When one of the small little toQues now in vogue is perched on the top of one of the new high cultures the pie tuFe the wearer presents Is nothing short of ridiculous. Why is it that wo- men are never satisfied with a pretty thing? They must exaggerate and change it until all it's beauty is de- parted.

Directions For Making
 A. Combing Jacket

A COMBTNG Jacket is q most ac-
 ceptable gift and one that it Is a pleasure to make. particularly for the aEnateur seamstress. for there is no fitting to be done that is worth the mama. Take a fine, medium sized towel, draw a circle for the neck opening in the exact center and a double line quarter inch in width leading down from the neck circle to one end of the towel Then proceed to stamp or draw with a spool and pencil the size scal- Iop you desire about the neck circle, down each. side of the double une in front, scallop to scaIlop, and continue the scaAops about the outside edges of the towel, curving the four points of the towel off gracefully. This scauop1ng is then padded and worked in white or some pale color. In each of the four corners of the towel are to be enn- broidered sprays of some small flower. combined with pale green foliage. Very effective and quickly worked is the flower spray whose blossoms are made eR French knots. such as pale blue for
 eemenots or the same design worked
 pink knots to simulate wild roses.
 The combing jacket is completed by

HINTS FOR THE sEAMsTREss

HINTS FOR THE SEAMSTRESS. SEAMING with hemstttched effect may be done on the machine by placing several thicznesses of plotting paper, cut narrow, between the two edges to be so Joined.
 Stitch an ordinary seam. Tear away the paper and turn back each fold of cloth.
 Stitch close to the fold on each side of hemstitching. Curved seams may be hemstitched as easily as straight ones.
 If when transferring an embroidery design or initial through carbon paper you find it difficult to get the design into it's exact place, try sticking pins in the article you wish to stamp so that the heads of the pins outline the exact spot
 You can then feel the pinhead through the carbon paper and so know where to place the design.
 To keep p1aclzet from tearing down sew hook and eye at the very bottom of the placket on the wrong side Hook together; pinch the hook down tightly, and it will never come unfastened.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-12-03

the front fastenings. These fastentngs may be of small lengths of ribbon ate tached to either side to be tied In bows after the jacket is adjusted. IT ribbon bows are not wished heater fastening is obtained by sewing on each side cro- cheted buttons and connecting them. when the jacket Is worn, by little frogs over the same kind of cord in single crochet stitch. The loops and buttons may be in white or color. If they are in white it is best to use linen thread for the stitch, as white silk becomes yellow.
 If if is necessary that the lacked should be made in 8 hurry the use of coarse thread for the sca1loping will work the edge very quickly indeed.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-12-03

E If you are troubled with sleeplessness try drinking a cup of warm milk or chocolate before going to bed. A warm bath is also a wonderful sleep tnducer. Muscular weariness brings about the most wholesome kind of sleep, especially if the exercise has been out of doors. windows should always be kept open.
 Above all, don't worry before going to sleep. Relax and be perfectly indif- ferent to your surroundings. Follow the idea underlying the old expression which runs, 'ewe don't care whether school keeps or not.'' That is the true path to beauty.
