Newspaper Advertising

Every dog has to wag his own
TAM some philosopher has ters,iy
told US, hence the newspaper may
be excused for occasionally referring
TO its own business.
The receipt at this office of an adj
yertisIng offer from an eastern pub
lefty company brings to mind a
point of interest between local news
papers and local dealers of all kinds.
This advertising we are asked to
publish at regular rates, covers
many kinds Of goods handled bv To-.
cal dealers. 1t was declined by this
paper.
The local papers often receive Of
fers Of this kind of advertising, but
the local papers. as a rule. prefer Ia
do business with their local dealers
and exclude this outside competitive
advertising. Whether this is wise
or not is just d question Of view
point. The local cwspaper has its
advertising space to sell. the same
as any other dealer has his gouis to
sell. Or course the dealer never
asks where his purchaser lives If he
has the price to pay for the goods,
which is natural and right. Is this
same principle applicable to the
goods the newspaper has to sell?
Many claim that it is and perhaps
they are right.
However. it is a fact, that all 10
cal newspapers prefer to have their
advertising space used by local deal
ers, and il the local dealers GO ass
their space the outside competitive
advertising is excluded.
That advertising of some kind is
necessary to build up and maintain
any business enterprise is no longer
a question for argument. 1t is ad
mitted. ALI business men seek to
advertise themselves and their bust
ness in somewav. Men of the great
est knowledge and experience have
accepted the newspaper as the best
method for reaching the public, and
wien compared to other methods it
is the least expensive. That is. an
advertiser can reach 200, 500. 1000
people through the newspaper at
less cost thar he can reach "A IKE
number i'm any other method of adj
vertising yet discovered OF course
the advertiser must pay more to the
paper with 1000 circulation than he
will to the paper with 200 ~circula-
ton. just as he would have to pay
more tu issue 1000 circulars than ne
would to print and mail 200. But
by comparing a like number of cir
culars. bills or anything else. with
the same number of a newspapers
circulation. he will find that the
ne vspaper method is the least ex-
pensive. and by far the best.

APPLIED DESIGNS.

Can you not recall many times that YOU
have parted with old and worn Iaces with
much regret? Perhaps the laces were de-
signs that you particularly liked and
whose fraii backgrounds were hopeIessIy
worn, so that the entire lace, including
Background and design. had to be thrown
away. There Is now, however, a way Of
preserving the design of a lace after the
background has worn out Cut the design
carefully from its original background
and apply 1t TO a piece of fresh net. plain
or figured Plain is usually the safest, il
one would get the most artistic effect
Beautiful collars for summer shirtwaist,
can be made in this way. A pretty fash
ion Is to scallop and buttonhoIe the edge
Of the net collar and then apply the cut
out designs in the corners or wherever
they look well on the collar. Cuffs can
be made to match. Sometimes a pretty
edge can be made by stitching the cut
out designs along the extreme edge of the
net. thus forming a border of the designs.
First lay them over the collar loosely in
various designs before stitching, so that
you can judge which looks the best. Then
proceed to stitch the designs upon the net
using short stitch on the upper side
and a rather long stitch on the under
side. One clever girl applied these cut
out designs to background of net by
buttonholing the designs fast with a COL
ored silk The effect was unusual and
pretty.

BRICK BRUSH TO WAX FLOORS.

First prepare the floor by removing al
traces Of old wax. Do this by applying
the following mixture with a mop: Equal
parts of sal soda and Stacked lime, and
use In the proportions Of one pound tc
pail OF water. After using. scrub the
floor with sand soap and water. Allow
the floor to dry perfectly.
Thin beeswax with turpentine and ap-
ply 1t to the floor with a flannel cloth.
afterward rubbing down with a weighted
brush. When the turpentine evaporates
a hard and durable coating remains.
Parafin wax may be substituted for
beeswax. 1t is cheaper, softer, and
easier to put on, but does not last long.
A homemade weighted waxing brush
may be contrived Of four common red
bricks covered with flannel or other soft
cloth. Pad the bricks more on the bot
tom Than on the sides, first putting them
together In twos. Attach the whole to an
old broom handle, to push or drag the
brush across the floor.
To clean a white enamel bed: Dis
solve one tablespoon of baking soda in
one pint of warm water, saturate a soft
cloth with this mixture and wash the
bed. This process will clean all white
enameled furniture.
White enameled furniture may also be
cleaned by rubbing all dirty marks with
flannel dipped in methylated spirit and
washing Immediately with tepid water,
to which little fine oatmeal has been
added. Never use soap or washing soda

If there are many dilettantes in the
ranks of women athletes. II can only be
blamed to the irresistibly attractive sport
togs which are put out by the shops.
So knowing and so natty are the various
tennis and golf costumes. the hunting
suits, the yachting suits and the bathing
suits-especislly the bathing suits-that
every woman, seeing herself in imagina-
tion attired in one or more of these cos
tunes, Immediately becomes, IL not Q
devotee of the sport in question. at least
-as one might say-an associate member,
not qualified, as II were, to hold ONCE,
but privileged to attend the meetings and
look the part.
The modern bathing dress is simply q
pretty silk frock cut OF at the knee.
The new models are gay with tunics,
sashes and V necks, some OF them even
showing frills of net set into the decol-
letage, and thus prove themselves to be
merely sand-bathing suits, not intended
for a dip in salt water.
Mohair and taffeta are the favored ma
terials and much Of the soft, lustrous
pussy willow taffeta Is used, often In
combination With mohair.
Scotch plaid and Roman striped silks
are used as trimming on suits Of plain
dark-blue or black taffeta, and there
are fetching silk suits with scalloped
rufifes piped with white.
Some of the accessories for new bath
ing costumes are particularly fetching:
for example, corsage flowers made of
rubber In imitation Of roses. carnations,
and the like; rubber sashes ir Roman
striped effect; rubber garters. shirred like
ribbon and having perky bows at the
side.
Bathing caps are innumerable and are
more becoming than ever. The new
models are a bit smaller. accommodating
the smaller coiffure now fashionable.
Most convenient are bathing cases Of
rubberized silk In envelope style and
closed with snap button. Such . case
will contain the bathing dress silk tights.
cap, accessories. and so on, and WIN fit
nicely when filed. into an ordinary leather
travelling bag.
The rubber envelope case keeps the
lining Of the bag from being stained or
injured with salt water and when one
reaches home the bathing dress should
be carefully rinsed before drying.

Khaki. corduroy. whipcord, and similar
