KNOWLEDGE
Is a Better ssb,r Guide Than
/. instinct When Buying $:
BY HOLLAND.


II NOWLEDGE is more
m widespread today than
ever before. twenty-five
years ago much buying was
done by instinct-done in a
haphazard way that is a
thing of the past like the
spinning wheel and the tai
low candle.
Your grandmother trusted
largely to luck-you depend
on knowledge when it comes
to spending money. What
causes the difference? Ad-
vertising.
Publicity has revolutionized
business. 1t has increased
business honesty, has advanc-
ed business ethics and has
ended slipshod methods.
To gain the advantage Of
these changed conditions you
must have knowledge. You
must know values. You can
learn them only by studying
advertising. In no other way
can you learn what is best
and what the best is worth.
CARELESS BUYING
OFTEN MEANS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Equip yourself with the
knowledge necessary for eco
nomical buying. II you have
money to spend you owe this
to yourself and to those for
whom you buy,

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mid
Lasatfpe TO Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

AS a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
tions of the bowels are of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect Of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage. and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the indiyid-
ual circumstances, is DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin. This Is laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that 1t is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of tendency
to constipation give small dose Of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
prompt action will follow in the morn

The old saying NO use to lock the
stable door after the horse has been
stolen is quite applicable In the mat
ter of protecting young and no-longer-
young fruit trees against rodents.
Don't wait until some OF your trees
are ruined before you adopt proven
re measures.

lection against tree injury by rodents.
is very effective. Mice rarely injure
trees except where grass, strawy
manure, boards or trash of some kind
about the base OF the tree provide a
hiding place; they will not come out
In the open, but perform their depre-
dations under cover. In mounding
mulch from the base of the tree for a
foot or more-in all directions. Second,
with a post tamper," thoroughly
firm the surface of the soil about the
base of the tree. Third, with few
shovelfuls of fresh soil or cinders form
a small mound liz or IA inches In
diameter at the base and from four to
six inches high about the stem of the
tree, firming the soil well. The tops
of these small mounds are usually kept
quite bare by the winds and the mice
will not venture out on these exposures
to feed on the bark of the Tree. These
mounds may be left all the year, but
should be repaired and tamped hard
each autumn. Where cinders are avail
able they are most excellent for mice

The wire screen is an ideal and com.
plete all-round protector. True, It is
more expensive than some others,
but 1t is lasting and more effective
against all kinds of rodents which
prey upon young trees. Being light
and open, 1t presents the least obstruc-
ton to strong winds; the air and sun
light are freely admitted; no dark

His Turn for the Feather.

Two motorists, having almost ruined
their tempers- and their tires-in a
vain attempt to find a hotel with a
vacant bed, were at last forced to
make the best of a small inn.
Even then they had to share bed,
which was--and on this the landlord
laid great stress-a feather bed.
They turned in, and one of the pair
was soon fast asleep; the other was

When trees have attained the age OF
six or seven years they are usually be-

We then have to protect only against
mice. The short, galvanized wire cloth

about the tree base, is quite sufficient
even in badly infected orchards.
In combination with soil or cinder
mounds, paper wrappers are tempo

for a single winter.

newspapers for tree protection. A
combination of building paper and
wire cloth is a trustworthy protector

be removed and the screen retained

discourages the mice and the paper in
winter is accepted by rabbits as an

ture Of the business.
Ever since two story houses were
frst built stairs have occupied promi-
nent positions, usually in front in full
view OF the street door where floor
space Is more valuable than In any
other part of the house The front
stair not only takes up valuable space
on both floors but it often spoils the

curtails two of the best bedrooms up
stairs
Now, the stairway in this plan
solves the problem in a new way. 1t
not only fills new felt want, but 1t
fills the neighbors with envy and the
contractor with malice, because the
workmanship must be SO exact to
please the owner that he can never

However, this stairway seems to
overcome many difficulties. 1t occu-

stays in the stairway any longer than
he can help. You sit in dining room

TRENTON IS READY
FOR ANOTHER SEASON
Will Come Back Under Certain
Conditions; Allentown
Makes Plans

Good news came from Trenton to-
day regarding the outlook in that city
for Trl-State baseball next season, in
the announcement that there would be
a team providing an eight-club circuit
was assured.
The Tigers will be represented at
the meeting tomorrow by e. j. Nor
ris, who has been back of baseball in
Trenton for some time. Trenton faces
a debt of $3.50 on the go off, but, ac-
cording to a statement from Mr.. Nor
ris, that will be taken care of providing
the league is reorganized
Will Ask Aid
Another important matter under
consideration is an attempt to interest
the Chamber of Commerce in helping
to boost baseball here. The stock
holders feel that they should receive
some sort of assistance from the city
organization as the national pastime is
an excellent form of advertisement
Whether Bert Conn will lead the
1914 Tigers or not has not been set
tied Conn did not meet with much
success heer last year, but he Is popu-
lar in Trenton and will in all proba-
bility receive due consideration. 1t will
be necessary to build up practically
an entire new club, as what material
Trenton has on its roster is not capa-
bic of furnishing the class of ball to
satisfy the local fans.
From Allentown comes the follow
ing:
Whether Allentown will be repre-
sented in the Tri-State League this
year will depend largely on the out
