Meyer himself opened the door with

Several men made a rush for him

ter how we'll fed and clothed, how

it's admission to school, the parents
interest must follow the child to the
school room and see that such envi-
ronment does not undermine its
health. Herein lies the responsibility
of the father, as citizen and tax
payer. 1t is his money that main
tains the school and it is his duty
to see that his child is not forced into
an overcrowded, poorly ventilated,
overheated classroom, compelled to
breathe for five hours a day the eXpi-
rations from 40 or 80 pairs of lungs,
and its condition so weakened as to
render it vulnerable to the attacks of
infectious disease. Any one, on re-
Election, will be impressed with the
futility of expecting a maximum pro-
preston, physical and mental where
children are housed in overcrowded
classroom with little or no moisture

vitiated air and to attempt mental
task with suffocated brain cells de-
prived of natures generous supply of

Two problems concerning the health
and physical and mental development
of child confront thoughtful parents
today, consideration of the child out
side of school and attention to its en-
vironment within the school.
Whether in country or In city, the
home influence on its health is most
important. A constant and controll-
able factor is it's food Herein lies
AhOme responsibility of the mother.
She must learn that the food OF the
growing child is next only in impor-
lance to its feeding as an infant;
and that the greatest good comes to
it from plain, nutritious, well-cooked
and easily digested food; that 1t needs
certain foods for body structure, ana
other foods to supply heat and en-
ergy. A child should frolic and rOmp
and play because there is a natural
relation between such muscular activ-
ity and the proper performance OF
such food material in carrying on
their functions. The mother must also
realize that rest is as important for
the child as play, and that sufficient
ssuiet, restful sleep does its equal part
IN storing energy and bringing about
perfect development. Children need
sunshine and fresh air, and at night
should sleep in a we'll ventilated room

Helps For Advertisers
By J. W. Laiferty, Grand Rapids Michigan
Grand Rapids, Michigan.

we have come to believe; It's true
that repetition never tires as much
as it emphasizes"
No detail in advertising is too small
for consideration; in fact it is the at
tention given to the smallest detail
that shows up when results are reck-
oned. In advertising, more than any
where else, the small detail work
must be thorough; it is sometimes
well to remember that the largest of
flee building in the world was built
upon a foundation of nickles and
dimes.
Stocks cut lose their strength by
their lack of originality and failure to
represent the goods advertised. Illus
trations carry force when they cor
rectly portray the goods, but when
foreign to the goods detract attention
from the advertisement.
The best form of illustration is the
"cut" of the article advertised or the
picture of the package;" these are
usually supplied by the manufacturer
and store carrying a line that can
be illustrated will find increased bust
ness il UGH "cuts" are used.
An advertisement should in it's en-
tirety represent the store back of it
and it usually does. Good manners
are as necessary in the cad" as they
are in the salesman. All attempts to
force goods upon buyer in any other
but a legitimate straightforward
manner will get only negative results.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-04-11
By J. W. Laiferty,

A good advertisement forcibly re-
minds us that the advertisers had
something to say and said it; this
simple suggestion followed up when
ever copy is being prepared will mean
much toward success in advertising.
There are many who have much to
say, but instead of saying it, they
beat around in wild confusion with a
mass Of meaningless arguments and
slogans which detract rather than at
tract confidence.
The prospective customer has a
right to demand that you give the
facts regarding the goods advertised
and such statements as "Best by
Test" "Built on Honor" "As Adver-
ised," Satisfaction Guaranteed" all
wander away from real facts and do
not sell goods. Your customer wants
to know "Why" and when you fore
stall the question by a statement of
facts it leaves no doubt in the Gus
toners mind. It's good advice to
have something to say-then say it.
With apologies to the memory of
the immortal bard, it would be prop
er to say that "Some advertisements
are born great, some achieve great
ness and some have greatness thrust
upon them" With the above men,
toned the thought arises of a soft
velvety powder for babies being adj
vertised through the medium of a
bewhiskered mans face, yet it has
been thrust" upon us so often that

clock on the floor under my bed, in

might make less noise there. But it
frightened the people downstairs
worse than ever. One of the children

Internal machine.

way of fixing things so that the alarm
