made it possible for every soldier,
sailor and nurse to obtain life and
total-disability insurance. This in
surance applies to injuries received
while he or she is in the service or
after he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive. 1t was, therefore,
plain duty and obligation for the
government to assume the risk of
insuring hundreds of thousands of
our soldiers who are making the
supreme sacrifice. Under this law,
every soldier and sailor and nurse,
commissioned and enlisted, and of
any age, has the right, between now
and February IL, 1918, to take out
life and total-disa insurance up
to $4,000 at very low cost, with the
government without medical eXamin-
alton. This right is purely optional.
The soldiers and sailors are not COM
PEELED to take insurance, but if they
desire to exercise the right, they
must do so before the twelfth Of
from IS cents monthly, at the age
of 81, to $1.20 monthly, at the age
of 81, for each $1,000 of insurance.
This is a small charge on mans
pay-small in proportion to the
benefits it may bring. The premiums
will be deducted from his pay, if he
desires, thus eliminating trouble on
his part.
To provide adequate protection
until February IL, 1918, during the
period when the soldiers and sailors
are learning the details of this law,
the government automatically in
sures each man and woman, commits
stoned or enlisted in the military
service of the United States. 1t pays
the man $25 a month during total
permanent disability; if he dies
within twenty years, it pays the rest
of $40 monthly installments of $25
each to his wife, child, or widowed
mother.
I desire to call the provisions of
this just and generous law to the at
tention of our officers and enlisted
men and women so that they may
not be deprived of their rights thru
lack of knowledge. Full informa-
ton may be obtained from the bu-
reau of war risk insurance of the
treasury department, Washington, D.
G. l earnestly urge that the officers
of the army and nanny give to the
men under their command all pos
sible aid in helping them to under
stand fully the benefits that this in
surance may bring to their families
and the small cost at which it may
be obtained.
This is the greatest measure of
protection ever offered to its fighting
forces by any nation in the history
of the world. 1t is not charity; it
is simply justice to the enlisted men
and women and to their loved ones
at home, and each and every one of
them should promptly take the bene-
fits of this great law.
W. G.. McADOO,
Secretary of the Treasury.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING
BY NEL.S DARLING

A New Years greeting in a paper
lduring the month Of August, that has
appeared in every issue since the pre-
vious December. is mighty poor adj
vertising. / saw this advertisement
! in a. paper in Iowa last summer. In
a Missouri paper I saw garden seeds
advertised, and the files showed that
| the advertisement had appeared in
| every issue since the previous spring.
The manufacturer can talk h S goods
throughout the year, in season and
out, but the retail merchant must tell
his customers of things in season, OF
1.-THE goods on his shelves that he wants
to sell now, and of the commodities
that the consumer is going to buy be-
cause the season and his needs de-
mand them.
A merchant wallxed~into a neWspa-
| per office--in his hand he held an or
binary ink blotter on VIII CHI was print
ed his name and the statement that
his store was headquarters for hard
ware. He handed the blotter to the
editor and said, "Just run this for my
advertisement this week. A mere
business card is very poor advertising
for any merchant. The few lines Of
space used to tell the farmer, the
housewife, the business man, that
you have someth ng they need will
bring results in time. A description
of some articles in season, line or
two about its merits, its salient fea-
lures, will be sure-to attract attention.
Don't give yourself and the editor
the excuse that you are too busy to
prepare your copy in. advance. Be
systematic-select some day in the
week, some hour in the day for study
ing, thinking and preparing copy for
your advertisement.
You merchants who keep your
books right up to the minute, look aft
err collections carefully and pay your
bills promptly usually have no regu
lar time for attending to this import
ant matter of advert sing. Better put
this down with the necessary duties
mentioned above and give it the same
attention if you wish to see a contin-
ual growth in your business.

Wisconsin Methodist conference on
Thursday afternoon at Madison, a
draft for 1886 from the Methodist

"Ah,. yes,, Mrs. Farnum--if came to
them with the -semblance of authority,
| could make terms, and advantageous
terms. If |, could go to them and say,
Gentlemen, while do not represent Miss
Farnum, l do speak with the knowledge
and permission Of her mother should
feel free to act :,
al don't quite see your point" said
Julia Farnum warily. 80,
."The point is, can get rid of Hyatt,
and gradually bring Miss Farnum to see
that she should sell,-if / have your-your
silent approval.' =, ="
"Then do SO! Do SO at once!" said the
mother, with relief.
3At once! Oh, that's impossible. 1t
might take six months; it might take
longer. But | can do it, e..
"Six months Of this, and / shall be a
shadow, moaned Mrs. Farnum. "You'
must do better than that. But go ahead. y
Rouss coughed slightly, So far, every
thing was running in. oil. :, He now came
to q more, important matter. Rising,
walking a few steps toward the door, and
then returning as if it were casual after
thought, he said: 81. -,
ain all this, Mrs. Farnum, must say
that couldn't do anything that would
give Miss Elizabeth any unhappiness
"You will be working for her real ulti-
mate happiness" .t.., b., =,
.""Er-yes. Mrs. Farnum, if my plans
mature, and should succeed in doing
what you wish, may have very re-
sponsible position with the Trust. L
r.,
thoroughly democratic man. He was very
kind -.er-to me. suppose-er-if Miss
Elizabeth should incline toward self
made type of man-like myself-you
would not object, Mrs. Farnum-'
Mrs. Farnum saw what was in his mind
what he was stumbling with-and her
face was red and white. "The colossal
impudence of the mani she thought. At
any other time she would have indicated
the doorway to this presumptuous EN-
ployee who dared to aspire to her home
But the social diplomat prevailed,
Rouss was the only man who could help.
She mustn't antagonize him. She had too
much decent pride to offer him any false
promises, but she gave way to the tempta-
tion to let the man deceive himself. So
she answered.
al am an old-fashoned mother, Mr..
Rouss; but times have changed, and
daughters have changed. Pm afraid in
such a matter as you have in mind
shall have very little influence. Still,
I have faith in my daughters wisdom
to choose wisely
In fact, Mrs. Farnum said almost ex-
actly nothing at all; but Rouss left the
Farnum home feeling certain that he had
Mrs. Farnums tacit permission to become
a s,itor when the time should come.
But, though Rouss's head was in the
clouds for the time being, his feet were
on the ground. The same tireless tenacity
that had put him in his present position
made his pretensions well worth consider
ing. He knew that Elizabeth Farnum
admired the steadfast loyalty he had
shown toward her father; he knew that
she was aware of the patient hard work
he had DONE Now he counted on showing
her something else-that he was capable
of swinging bigger interests, of dealing
with "big business on its own ground
and to her advantage.

complicated business. r,.,
This work brought Elizabeth and Hyatt
good deal together. Once in while
they sat under the electric lights after the
Office force had gone, and the big hive
was so quiet that they, could hear a mouse
rummaging the ,waste-baskets.
Again and again Edwin Hyatt was
amazed at the. shrewd analysis that the
young woman contributed to these labors.
She knew. nothing whatever of the tech
nique Of advertising, and she showed little
desire to bother with it; but she seemed
, to know how to approach the trade for
which they; were looking.
q 1t seems to me- she said, "that we
should advertise Escutcheon just as we
would advertise piano that sells for
twelve hundred dollars. / mean, the ad-
vertisement ought to be just as well
written and as beautiful as our paper"
:. E, And d'yet. have all the tensile strength
! of Escutchson, suggested Hyatt.
-. y es, she said; ,,"that's just what l
mean" -
"There's a word I've been looking for"
said Hyatt, "and if | could find it, it
: would be worth weeks work. My mind
seems to hover all around it, but it eludes
me every time It's word that will de-
scribe Escutcheon SO that you can hear
it, and feel it, and see it. It's word that
. will make the reader actually hold a sheet
of Escutcheon in his hand, fold it, put it
in the. envelop., 1t suggests richness, taste,
and yet durability. Hang it all, there is
such a word! I've pretty near worn
, Roget and the dictionary out, looking
for it. -.
He saw Elizabeth's face grow suffused
: with that, ardent interest she always
showed when they were struggling for
expression. =. y, ,.-
81 know---I know!7 she cried. 3Wait!
1ts-no, wait again! Richness, taste. /
know-l've fell it, in writing on Escutch-
con. It's that thing my father was so
proud Of It's the thing that others can't
or won't put into their paper. Lt's-like
the rustic of starched linen!"
"Rustle!' shouted Hyatt, jumping up.
"Rustle! You've said it, Miss Farnum.
Wait minute. Let me write it down and
see how it looks! The aristocratic rustic
of Escutcheon. Wait minute--let me
print it in Roman capitals: THE ARIsTo-
CRATIC Rustic OF EscUTcHE)N.' Can you
hear it? can. The paper of Big Busi-
ness '-how's that?'
"No-o," she objected, after first as
sent "No-o. That's little bit crude,
| think"
you're right it is," admitted Hyatt,
with the cheerfulness of an adventurer
who has taken the wrong road and likes
the fun of travelling. "The paper of
business diplomacy that?"
"That's better. That's fine!" cried
Elizabeth with delight. "Thats the very
idea Escutcheon is the ideal paper for
introducing you to the class Of people
you want to know
SO they worked it out together. She
was never more splendid than when she
sat, her chin buried in the palm Of a
hand, her eyebrows knitted, her breath
coming ia It, the tips of her white teeth
just showing between the half-shut lips.
And Hyatt would gaze at her for a mo-
ment and then guiltily turn his head
away, and queer feeling would come into
his throat.
There was little tinge of bitterness in
his thoughts at those moments. He could
be with her: their minds could interplay.
