PROVED EFFICIENT.

A Dallas, Texas, baker tells this story to show
why he was converted to using the newspapers
to advertise his business:
"When we opened our plant in August we held
open house each night for a week and advertised
the receptions daily in the newspapers, the at
tendance ranging from 5000 to $4,000 each even
ing. Having decided not to have a reception Sat-
urday night, | instructed our advertising man to
make the announcement in the advertisements
appearing in the Saturday papers. | thought he
would use big display type, but was chagrined to
find that he put it in the very last paragraph of
the ad in very small type.
II was disappointed and told him no one would
see it, and that we would have another large
crowd Saturday night, and that we had better
make preparations to entertain them. But only
six people came. This proved to me the efficiency
Of newspaper advertising"
Advertising when properly used is salesman
ship Of the highest order. Its efficiency is easily
demonstrated. If any doubt after reading the
experience of the Dallas baker, they may learn
for themselves by giving it a fair trial.

SENSITIvENESS AND SUCCESS.

Many people are kept back in their efforts to
get along in the world by oversensitiveness.
Many able young men and women who are well
educated and well fitted for their callings are so
extremely sensitive that they never rise to the
places to which their abilities entitie them.
Their feelings are constantly being wounded
by fancied sights, in the office, the shop, the
store, the mil, the factory, or wherever they MAJ
happen to be. They carry about with them most
OF the time a sense of injury which not only makes
them unhappy, but also to a great degree mars
their efficiency.
Their supersensitiveness, so destructive to
happiness, success and incidentally to health
Tor whatever destroys harmony Injuries health
betrays in a sense a lack of self-respect of which
no man or woman should voluntarily be guilty.
10 De a complete man one must be conscious, but
not III an offensive way, of his own worth and
dignity. He must feel himself superior to envi-
GUS criticisms or ridicule, but at the same time
cheerfully accept the criticism which he deems
just and helpful,
When some one told Diogenes that he was de-
rlded, ne replied, "But / cannot be derided." He
counted only those ridiculed who feel the ridicule
and are dlscomposed by it.
Inc surest way to conquer morbid sensitive
ness is to mingle with people as freely as posi-
Die and, while appraising ones own ability and
intelligence at least as imparitally as one would
those of a friend, to forget oneself.
Unless one can become unconscious of self
one Will never either appear at his best or do his
best.
1t requires will power and an unbending deter
mlnatlon to conquer this arch-ene,ny to success.
But what has been done by millions can be done
by others. Many who were held down by it for
years have by their own efforts outgrown it and
risen to commanding positions.
