A TEST WHETHER ADVERTIS-
ING PAYS

N TALKING recently with q man
j who has made a large success as
an advertising salesman in another
place, this question was asked him:
when a merchant Gays it does not
pay to advertise. what do you tell
hint"
II just ask him this,' was the re-
ply. What proportion Of the popula-
ton Of this town has been inside your
store during the past two months?"
Very few merchants ever claim
they have had 10 per cent OF the pop
ulation. Most Of the non-advertisers
would be glad to get one per cent. A
lot of them probably get only a small
fraction OF one per cent with any reg
ularity."
"Then l say. how are all the rest
of the people going to know about
your goods? How can they toll wheth-
er 1t would be to their advantage to
patronize you or not? II you have
good values. or special bargains. how
do they know about 1t? A great many
OF them rarely or never pass your
store. The great majority that pass
give you only q glance. You are not
getting their business, having done
nothing to interest them"
"Then I 60 on" he continued. ito
say there are Just three ways to get
some Of this trade now slipping past
them. They can send around solicit
ors from door to door. distribute cir
culars or hand bills. or advertise in
newspapers. The newspaper notice IL
read carefully where q solicitor is
summarily turned down. and besides
the advertising IL twenty times cheap
Or than canvassing. And hand bills
are chucked into the waste paper bas-
kets. while newspapers are read. II
you don't care to use any OF these
methods, tell them. most Of the peo-
pie Of this town will continue to pass
you by. without knowing anything
about your goods"

Save The Pennies
and Beat the Man
Of Sharp Practise

A man asked the other day if it
looked mean to collect rebate checks
from a railroad. He lived in a town
where the trolley company charges
each passenger six cents who does not
provide himself with book tickets,
but returns to the passenger a rebate
check good for one cent.
Most people throw these checks
away he said he had accumulated
about half dollars worth. He was
considering if he would have the nerve
to walk up to the company's Office and
collect the money as he feared it might
be considered mean.
These are days when people hate to
be considered penurious. They are
ashamed to wait for few cents
change. A payment anything like cor
rect is near enough"
It may not pay the average man in
these days of large wages, to bother
too much about the pennies. But the
moment one becomes Indifferent to
small sums, he gets careless about lar
ger ones. A habit of exact account
ing is a good one in both ones bust
ness and family accounts.
It is a good idea to keep strictly
correct accounts, recording every lit
tie payment, and paying everyone ev-
erything you owe and collecting all
that is due. 1t develops a method
ical habit of mind that is exceedingly
useful in these days of free spending
and high prices.
Probably one reason why it costs
so much to live is that dealers have
discovered that the average man is in
different about pennies and nickels. He
thinks he can add five cents to every
pound of meat or vegetables without
anyone noticing it. But when the to-
tai is footed up at the end of the year,
everyone bowls.

OLD FOLKS NEED
"CASCARETS" FOR
LIVER, BOWELS
Salts, calomel, pills act on
bowels like pepper acts

Enjoy life! Don't stay bilious,
sick, headachy and
constipated.
Get a 10-cent box now.

Get 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural It is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never SO active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
SO all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.

GREEK EMIGRATION Is
TAXED ON AGE SCALE

Athens, Dec. 4.-Owing to the great
increase in the emigration of minors
to the United States, who have not
reached the age to perform their mill
tary service, the Greek government
has increased the amount of deposit
to be made with the government by
the parents or guardians of any minor
male child who leave Greece. A youth
born in 1898 must deposit, or his pa
rents must deposit for him $120; one
born in 1899, 800; in 1900, $50; 1902;
$40; and 1903, $50. Without this de-
post being made it is impossible for

It is because the organization of ma
