ITO BE CONTINUED,


The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different sometimes by
CHEEKY sunshine and glistening
SHOWS, and sometimes by driving
winds and binding storms. To many
people it seems to take a delight in
making bad things worse, for rheu-
matism twists harder, twinges
sharper, catarrh becomes more an
noying. and the many symptoms of
scrofula are developed and aggra-
vated There is not much poetry in
this, but there is truth, and it is
wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparil-

abundant proof that its cures are

advertising.

DEALE took up the refrain next
and talked to Mr.. Martin about
advertising.
'But nowadays 1t isn't only
people who have stoves to sell or tooth
brushes that are spending money on
publicity" he began. Banks are adj
vertisiDg for money, nations for immi-
grants, colleges for students, cities for
citizens and churches for congrega-
tions. and you sit there thinking it
doesn't pay to advertise"
''Six hundred and sixteen million dol
lars We're spent last year in magazines
and newspapers, billboards and cleo
trio signs.' recited Mary.

fun and luxury to the people of the
United States" said Rodney. Its ro-

of modern business, and it's all built
on advertising. Why, advertising is
the biggest thing in this country, and
it's only just begun"
WELL" said Mr. Martin, when you
boys get through talking and you're
fat broke and down and out come
around and see me. I'll show you an
old business that has a lot of money,
that isn't radical and that manages to
keep going without wasting a fortune
In fool advertising"
'Then you won't let us get any
soap" asked Rodney
"Risk my business reputation on
silly scheme like dollar soap2 should
say not. You may be crazy, but I'm
not"
'Yes, you are" said Mary. beginning
to lose her temper.
"Oh. come on" said Peale impa-

a man whose brain IS deaf?'
The old soap king only laughed.
And so to the accompaniment Of his |

Rodney's benefit. and she scolded
Peale outright She was sure she

If she had been allowed to do It In her
own intuitive woman's way. and she
told both the boys so fatty. What was
the use Of spouting all those statistics?
What they wanted was 5000 cakes
Of soap, not 5000 words Of advertising

Poor Ambrosel He wouldn't have
admitted it to anybody In the world
but for once in his life he was down

good nature was cloaked and yelled a

What was worse his blues lasted off

He turned to see the countess" They

and she was headed for the revolving
doors on Forty second street. Peale

Jumped into the whirling compartment

"Well, cutie" he said as they drop

crowded corridor. "what are you up

Don't do that-don't, DON'T Then
after pause he added:
"Oh, quit it. Keep it for some poor

He didn't wait for Ellery's answer,
but promptly vacated the place at the

The talk for all his chaff only strength
