His Own Manager.
From the beginning of his business
until the day of his death, John Wan
amaker was largely his own advertis-
ing manager. For many years he sur
rounded himself with the best writing
and brains he could buy, but never
did he leave off his personal touch
from anything that was written.
I believe he was the first advertiser
to use full pages in the newspapers
and / am sure he was the first to
recognize and insist on the exact truth
in advertising.
In his nearly sixty years as an active
merchant, he has spent many millions
of dollars in the newspapers. particu-
larly in New York and Philadelphia
and has made his advertising the
model that has been copied by every
storekeeper in The United States.

Sleep walking Is the actual enactment Of

Is absent. yet his sense OF touch Is very keen.
Some OF tho special senses. such ( sight and
hearing may lie active. so fur az things con-

Yet he neither secs nor hears anything which
is not part OF his dream. The voluntary mus
Gle apparatus is wide awake and responsive

striking!y similar 10 the state OF hypnot.s ISM.
We might say the sleep walker is hypnotIzed

Why folks talk or walk in their sleep is
the question that viii show my ignorance.
Medical authorities blame a neurotic inhcri-
tancc for IL, much as bad actors blame grand
father for their hard livers. Sleep walking.
like pimples and ivy poisoning occurs chiefly
among youths because youths are so active
and busy. and for no other reason that know.
The suggestion Of sleep walking. In dis
cussion of tho subject late nj night. has led
to it's manifestation. Sometimes the som.

OF action which his mind had been intent

Sleep walkers and takers should take will,
