In the latter part of 1914 one manufac-
turer, with four advertisements, averaging
less than quarter page each, received
10000 requests for booklet
Another, running half pages, is receiving
80 inquiries day, each enclosing Sc or 10c
for booklets Acolor page used by this same
advertiser brought $500 mail inquiries for
special booklet-and thousands more were
received at retail stores.
During the month of December alone an
advertiser who has been using quarter pages
or less received 1892 inquiries directly
traceable to the JOURNAL, each enclosing 1Oc
for the sample offered.
Still another, whose business is primarily
through dealers, found that in 1914 the direct
orders received from JOURNAL readers in |
towns where his goods were not on sale
brought in $500 more than his advertising 3

THESE 11O,845 letters were letters
of inquiry-asking for something the
need of which was inspired by the
magazine, and asking in a spirit of
earnest confidence in the magazine.

Increasing Responsiveness

The correspondence Of THE LADIES' HOME

greater by 11O,845 letters than it was the year
previous.

This increasing volume of inquiries
means that JOURNAL readers are reading
the magazine in mood not only of strong
confidence, but also of responsiveness keener
attention, stronger and stronger tendency
to act.
Advertisers, too, are feeling this same
increased responsiveness and getting better
results than ever from the columns of the

n there's n way in there must be a way out,
So think and keep thinking, and keep your heart
stout
That is the only way to get out OF
trouble If you keep thinking hard
enough and hopefully enough sooner
or later you will find the way. 1t was
so with Mrs. Tiny the Warbler. She
lust couldn't make up her mind to
hatch out that strange egg in her nest,
and then have to feed and care for the
young stranger. She knew by the size
Of the egg that the baby who would
hatch out of it would be twice as big
as her own babies and need twice as
much food.
She couldn't think of any way to get
that hateful egg out of the nest, and
She couldn't bear to think of building
new nest somewhere else. You see,
when she had picked out that particu-
lar place for her nest she had felt that
it was the very best place in the Old
Orchard. In fact, she knew it was. be-
cause she had hunted through every
tree before she had finally decided to
build in that particular spot. So she
kept thinking. She thought so hard
that she almost forgot to eat. At last
she called to Tiny.

fast as you can and bring grasses and
cotton from the ferns and any other

Mr. Crawford came into the kitchen
with a slow and hesitating step. MRS.
Crawford. frying hot cakes, watching
the baby in his high chair and helping
Jimmie to dress, all at once, looked UP
with a weary smile.
How do you feel this mornin', Jas
per-" she asked
Well" he answered Il guess about
the same as usual" She sighed at the
answer. Il had bad night" he went
on. Il couldn't seem to get no rest.
I'm afraid this rheumatizll do for me
finally. 1t jest has to reach the heart,
you know"
But it's in your right side.

Yes. 1 know" she said.
Presently Jimmie was dressed, the
hot cakes done, the baby secure in his
high chair. Mrs. Crawford washed the
faces of both the children and they
drew up to the table.
Mr.. Crawford ate heartily, but Mrs
Crawford merely drank a cup of cof-
fee. When breakfast was over she
washed the dishes, bathed the baby. set
the house in order. Then she picked
the baby up and took him out to his
father, comfortably seated on the
porch. Il wish you'd keep an eye on
baby" she said Il jest got to get out

got to hoe up the potatoes some time

Well. Melissa, course 1 like to have

That explanation would usually have
satisfied Melissa Crawford. But she
dared not take the baby where she
would have to leave him on the damp

but for you to keep him. 1 can't take

more Mrs. Tiny was quite happy. The
strange egg and her own two beautiful
eggs were in the lower part, quite out
Of sight, and now they would never
hatch into little birds. Tiny had felt
very badly about giving up those two
beautiful eggs, but Mrs Tiny had prom
Used that she would lay some more.
Then Wen never. never leave the
nest unguarded, and so there will be
no more strange eggs laid In it," said
she. We've had to give up those two
eggs. but we haven't had to give up
our nice home, and we haven't got to
take care of somebody else's child"
she added, triumphantly.
That's So" replied Tiny. my, how
smart you are. my dear! 1 never should
have thought of such a clever plan. Do
you think we will have some eggs
soon?"
II think there will be one tomorrow
morning." replied little Mrs. Tiny. And
sure enough, the next morning there
was a beautiful little egg in the new
part of the nest.
