country has passed
through a period o.
4 price initiation.

through d poll'o
price initiation,
That period is past, definite
iy past; but we are still feel
ing its effects. This imitation
touched us on all sides. we
were both cause and effect.
Increases in necessities, IN
in Injuries in food,
rent. clothing; in fact every
hing from tips to theater
tickets climbed in price.
And along with these adj
vances, sometimes anticlpat-
ing them, rose wages. The
only thing which did not IN
crease was personal ability.
The more we made the less we
did; and the more we de-
manded. We denied ourselves
nothing but common sense
and the right to save.
The only possible result
from such thoughtless selfish
ness was a slump. And then
we became as Hnreasoning IN
our economy as we had been
in our extravaganza.
. We became almost like the
man who economical on horse
feed until his horse died. In
fact, we are worse than this
man, for in refusing to buy
those things which we needed
we threw both ourselves and
others out of employment.
AT last we begin to see how
foolish we have been. We are
learning the economy OF buy
ing. which is the economy OF
saving.
The thrifty buyer buys just
before he is forced to do so;
and buys that which is known
reliable, and carries the guar
hntee of reputation.
Known goods are like public
persons.
If they Ire not up to stand
BIRD they are soon found out.
That is why thrifty people
Insist on having advertised
goods, goods which + known
which carry the name OF a
manufacturing house that is so
sure Of the quality OF its pro-
duct it is willing to publish
its name with its wares.
~ Advertised goods are not
only the most economical in
quality but r also more
economical in price for such
quality. That is because adj
vertised goods r. sold In
larger quantities and so can
sell at a smaller individual
profit. One cent of profit on
each 100 articles brings five
times the return that does two
cents of profit on each of ten
articles.
Advertising reduces selling
prices by increasing the num-
per of sales.
Also when you buy adver-
lyised goods you + helping to
ggive employment to a known
Number Of workers. Factories
making advertised goods have
~ reputation to maintain not
only in the quality of the
goods sold, but in the payment
o. bills, keeping of contracts
and in the treatment of their
workers.
So you see when you buy
advertised goods you are not
only saving money through
getting goods of proven quail
ity at a reasonable price, hut
you are helping the workers
who make those goods to keep
employed and also to save.
The sooner all Of us insist on
buying only advertised goods,
sooner will we help each other
to live right and save sensibly.
Do not speculate in buying.
Do not gamble with unknown
articles. Maintain your right
to save by buying the goods

Il have never seen greater en-
thusiasm displayed in worthy
cause" said Arthur G. Robinson OF
Waterville who has been here start
ing the campaign. THE articles in
The Saturday Evening Post by Mrs
Egan, the fact that former Governor
Milliken has consented to be State
chairman and the general interest in
the whole situation make it seem
certain that $4,000 will be the mini
mum that Maine will raise. The
State committee is especially fortu-
nate in being able to secure Mrs.

Hyde is now at work and is meeting

Mr. Robinson has just received
from New York headquarters the
most urgent appeal. 1t reads:
Remember that after all resources
on hand or in prospect have been
estimated, the American committee
in Picking advises the American COM
mittee for China Famine Fund that
at least five million Chinese have
no hope of life except as food is pro-
vided through additional American
contributions. Many of the Chinese
famine victims have reached their
last resources and unless they arc
sustained until harvest and are
strong at that time they will be I'M
able to harvest the crop and support
themselves through the summer
Especially is intensive work in
Maine to be done in the week be-
ginning May l. 1t is hoped to have
the greater part of the fund for this
State subscribed by that time so that
triumph wind-up may follow.

How Much Tobacco

and taking them as directed The
habit really quits you, and it's depar-
ture is pleasure equal to its indul-
gence.
If you want to know how much
Nicotol than without it, go twenty
what an effort it costs you; then be-
tablets. At the end of a week discon-
and it is probable you will have no de
sire to resume. At least your desire
will be greatly diminished and another
week or two should make it not only
possible, but a pleasure, to quit.
Note: DR.. Connor, formerly of
Johns Hopkins Hospital under whose
advice Nicotol has often been used,
said when this statement was shown
to him: II have known Nicotol to
conquer the tobacco habit in less than
ten days time, and I can therefore
recommend it highly" When the doc
tors statement was shown to one of
our leading druggists he said: "Nico-
toll is truly wonderful remedy for the
tobacco habit, way ahead of anything
we have ever sold before. We are au-
thorized by the manufacturers to re-
fund the money to every dissa tisfied
customer, and we would not permit the
use of our name unless the remedy
possessed unusual merit Nicotol is
sold in this city under an iron-clad
money-back guarantee by all up-to-
date druggists, including John Cough.

The China Famine Fund
Portland Effectively Organized

Portland, April 12-Portland is the
first city in the State to organize a
local committee for the China
Famine Fund. At the same time, the
members of this committee are de-
termined to show that they mean
business, for they have set their
standard higher than in any other
campaign for the raising of funds.
In other words, they have decided
that the Forest City will contribute
one fifth of the total quota for the
State of Maine.
At an informal meeting of the
workers for the fund, it was decided
that Maine should raise $4,000 for

IT MAY COST A PRECIOUS LIFE
TO PIND OUT BIZ EXPERIMENT.

The heart Of every user Of tobacco
bears a double burden. 1t does its
allotted task and then fights nicotine
for supremacy. AS long as the heart
wins he lives; when it loses ne dies,
but before the final victory of nicotine
you pass through many stages of de-
cline and decay and suffer many pangs.
Hearts are like human beings-some
are stronger than others: therefore.
some hearts will stand more tobacco
than others. but there is a limit to
what any heart can stand. The man
who puts this additional strain on his
heart dozen times a day by smoking
cigarettes, a pipe or cigars-or chew
ing tobacco-is taking a madman's
chance with health and life to lose and
nothing to win but the chance that he
may not lose them. He is indulging

results.
But the thought Of quitting is UNI
pleasant to most men--even to those
who know that tobacco Injuries them

power than they have. and causes more
suffering than they can voluntarily en-
