 Did you happen to receive a post card within the past few days bearing the sim pie words:
 Wait: I'll see you this week?e
 And signed: Fl. B. G."
 Didn't you sort of look at it curIously and wonder like the kiddies do on St. Val entine's Day who sent it to you?
 It could have been lots of people, you know, and it could have meant lots of things for the initials stand for many different suggestions.
 Fl. B. G." might mean his best girl.' Or
 If might mean
 Honey, be good" Or
 It might mean a host of other nice things that would arouse your curiosity to the boiling point. However. when you turned the post card over and beheld the most adorable girl in stunning little bonnet tied under her pretty chin, and wearing modish coat and carrying a big suit case with the simple announcement inscribed upon it:
 Mrs. Jacks Ham Biscuit"
 Your curiosity subsided for a moment. and you promptly did what the pretty lady on the post card told you to:
 Wait"

 Refuse?
 Why if shed had million biscuit yes terday, the I'll. B. G." could have sold them, every single one.
 As it was, she came home "biscuit-less," :" although she started out with a supply that looked as if it was big enough to feed the German army.
 'Sucoess?' Miss Hutchson said quaintly yesterday afternoon, when l was asking her about her first days campaign. Why, it was phenomenal I have never seer such a demand in my life as there was for Mrs. Jacks Ham Biscuit. Why, the merchants-every one of them--fairly beamed with joy at the idea of getting such a splendid food product done up so beautifully in the daintiest of boxes. and sold for such a small sum. Not one of them refused, but eagerly accepted our offer and gave us big orders Fresh bis- cult every day they asked for, and de- clared that within a week they would be placing such huge orders that Mrs. Jacks Ham Biscuit would exceed the sale of anything else of the kind ever put on the market"
