ing car by fire. He had been to town
on business, and on his return trip
home. the car caught fire, when he
was within a half mile of home He
was alone and was unable to do any
thing to extinguish the blaze. The

only thing left of it is the frame.
Mr.. Pilgrim carried some insur-
ance on the car, in the company rep
resented by Eugene Rosenthal. The

The Cost OF Living.

Fifteen dollars a week viii sup
port a husband, wife and three chill
dren in New York city. This is what
the officials of the Brooklyn bureau
of charities have found out. A wo-
man had supported her little family
on a dollar a day for years. A New
York judge was asked to permit a
young heiress to draw $25, 200 year
from an estate which she had inner
tied, as this amount was necessary TO
meet her expenses. All this goes to
show that the cost of living is per-
sonal matter. 1t depends not on what
one needs, but on what he wants, or
thinks he wants.
The necessaries of life furnish a
sufficient living for some, while for
others luxuries are so common that
they have become necessities. In the
oldep days we lived on what we had.
What sturdy race of Independent,
courageous, progressive people was
l
brought forth. They were the ones
that did the pioneer work, that eros
sed the plains, plows the prairies,
opened the mines, bored for oil, and
planted the district school and church
wherever they went.
Those sturdy, strong, true hearted
Americans were never troubled about
the cost of living. They lived on what
they earned or produced. They respect
ed parental authority. They regarded
the constitution with reverence. They
obeyed the laws and saw that every
man who violated them was called to
strict account. These worthy ances-
tors would have spurned the thought
of pensions for their widows, OIL
Tread lines, of bundle days and soup
houses for their children as they
spurned the thought of the poor
house. Weekly.

Hints Worth Trying.

To remove fish odor from silver and
cooking utensils Let them stand In
cold water before washing.
To clean silk-Do not use brush
as the bristles are sure to scratch the
surface. Take a piece of velveteen,
wipe the silk well and all the dust
particles will be removed without the
slightest injury.
To clean mirrors saw milliner
clean her windows in a few minutes.
She dipped piece of tissue paper in
wood alcohol and rubbed the surface
clean. Then took clean piece of pap
er sprinkled little whiting on 1t anu
polished the glass. 1t was the quick
est and most satisfactory method l
ever saw used.

AUTOMOBILES AND ADVERTISING
Millions of Dollars Are Spent in Adj
vertising and Sales Have In
creased Enormously.

Here are two significant facts OF
modern life:
Fact 1.-The use of automobiles
has multiplied beyond the dreams Of
any of the people who used to sell
them few years ago.
Fact 2.-The amount OF money
spent in advertising automobiles is
perfectly enormous. The larger news
papers carry whole pages of this adj
vertising. Money is poured out like
water to the magazines. Millions are
spent with small city and country
newspapers to bring the story close
to the home constituency, and help
the local dealer.
Can any one doubt that these two
facts are to each other as cause to
effect? Could the sale OF automo-
biles be half as large as it is today,
if the advantages of buying them
were not continually brought to the
public attention? Every time a man
picks up these newspapers and mag
azines, the latent desire existing in
his mind to own an automobile is fed
and magnified. Quiescent at the start,
it grows every time by the pictures
he sees and the description that he
reads. Soon he is over at the local
dealers taking a demonstration. The
result is obvious. Advertising did it.
The same thing has been done in
many other kinds of goods the sale of
which could be doubled or quad
ruppled by a similar advertising
campaign.
When man sees a grocer adver-
Using some luscious food product,
he begins to want it. The taste that
is latent in his mind begins to assert
itself. If he reads that advertise
ment day after day, he realizes that
is just the thing he has been longing
for. The next time he passes that
grocer's he drops in and tries it out.
Advertising did it.
