Kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

S advertising took on this char
"a acter. and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
f1uenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too. was Gin business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people ia
f1uenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If q merchant holds the at

Q.-How Is it that a snake
can move along without any
legs?
TWO COUNTRY BOYS.
A.-The movement Of snake
is one of the things wise men
have found hard to understand.
The snake really walks ON his
ribs. These ribs are attached to
the backbone, and also to the
scales or large horny surfaces on
the belly of the snake. AS the
muscles act on the ribs, the edges
of the scales catch on the ground,
and the result is a gliding motion.
The movement of "a snake Is very
like the movement of a boat, tho
ribs corresponding to the oars.
