THEY ALL ADVERTISED

Occasionally man is found who thinks that he
ran build I'D a bic commercial success WITHOUT AD-
VERfISING. But usually he wakes up SCORER or
later to the fact that it just can't be done There is
nothing more certain in the business world tran that
udicious pubhcitylis essential to success.
This mas been so clearly demonstrated time ano
time again that is hardly necessary to refer TO the
subject The world war is a striking ILLUSTRATOR Oh
the value of publicity. Does any man believe inc
great Liberty Loan drives would have been SUCCESSFUL
had it not been for the advertising carried IN the
DAILY NEWSPAPERS No Man will contradict the
assertion that advertising was the big factor IN sell
ing liberty bonds and in fact contributed more to the
success Of the war than 2ny other one thing.
s Under the caption THERE AMT NO SUCH
ANIMAL" the Chicago DAILY NEWS had the fol-
lowing in recent issue of Printers Ink:
"Name ten merchant princes who never advertis-
cd NO Name nine, then. Six? Two? One? Why what
lis the meaning of this? Your knowledge of history
and current affairs is comprehensive; your memory
lis excellent why, then, can't you name the great
leaders Of commerce who built up their enterprises
without advertising? ..----..----.---

or another And as the means OF advertising I'M
proved, the number and extent Of business enter

"The bic successes are the big advertsers-and
thew are not big advertisers because they are big
cesses but big successes because they are Dig aoVeT
Users.
"They know not only what to advertise, cut how
and when They are adept in the choice OF mediums
They take no chances. Where they lead, the later
conner may safely f3llow."
Consider for moment:
"THE BIG SUCCESSES ARE NOT BIG AZ
lVERTISERS BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG SUC,
ICESSES BUT BIG SUCCESSES BECAUSE THEY
ARE BIG ADVERTISERS" ,,.
Occasionally you find a man who imagines that
his business is TOO SMALL for him to advertise per-
Isistently and freely.
That's all right" he says, "for the man who has
been in business long time and who has pig volume
of trade, but can't afford it" 9G:i

NINA

THOUGH Nina has typically
4 French sound, the name is regard
ed as English. However, it came to
us through the French by lengthy
process of evolution. The Hebrew
Chanaach was it's earliest source and
from this word 1t derived its sigf1fi-
canoe of grace"
Through the English Hannah, it
came to FIance as Anne and was soon
given the diminutive. Annette. AS
Nanette, it appeared simultaneously,
but the French love of variety changed
the latter form to Nanon and finally
Ninon.
The beauty. and fame of Ninon de
PEnclos, superwoman and court
''vamp'' in the reign of Louis XIV,
spread her name afar. 1t became al
most a synonym for charmer and the
maids of several countries coveted it.
But Ninon is too Gallo for English
ears, so, in its transportation across
the channel, the ending underwent a
change and Nina was the final result.
It has enjoyed extraordinary vogue in
this country.
The diamond is Nina,s talismanic
gem. 1t is the emblem of fearlessness
and invincibility and promises its
wearer success in all undertakings

and I'd have to climb down the path
which is like a mountain pass and
which leads down below.
'sThen when l got down below, /

up above which somehow l might be
missing, and there would be so much
climbing to do. OF course it looks like
a beautiful place, but it would not do

they walked proudly by, with their
heads held high in the air.
"Grunt, grunt. don't pay any atten-
ton to them,' said Brother Bacon.
"But, Pigs" said Mrs. Goat, you're
all wasting a good deal of time in talk
ing which you might spend digging or
thinking of food"
"That is so,' said Brother Bacon,
'but we've thought of food all the time.
''That is why our talk hasn't been
any more intelligent or worth hearing.
You know when creatures talk and
have something to say that is worth
while they think of what they're say
ing. We don't bother to think much
and so we don't talk well. Creatures
who're thinking of all sorts of things
while they're talking of something else
don't talk well.
"That's the truth, grunt, grunt."

said Miss Jersey Cow. There was
some nice food there.
"But the other night we found
nice field of grain and were able to go
through a place in the fence which had
been left open by mistake and so we
weren't ready when milking time came,
but we had to be gone after. We were
a good long distance off. Oh, yes, we

SHALL ! TRAvEL7"

TN SOME rare cases the, line of travel
a (either horizontal or vertical, on the
mount of the moon) runs into the line
of the head, which is the lower of the
tw main lines crossing the palm hori-
zontally. We may thenforetell, or hold
as indicated in the past, some danger to
the head, or some other malady, aris-
ing from a journey. This is confirmed
when the place of joining the two lines
is marked by spot, an island or a
break.
When travel is indicated by the little
hair lines that leave the line of life
(encircling the thumb) and travel with
it; the indication is similar to that
shown by the line of life. If one
branch of the divided line goes on its
way around the mount Of Venus, the
ball of the thumb, while the other pro-
ceeds to the base of the mount of
Luna, the subject will make a great
change from his native LAND to another.
When the line of life divides toward it's
end and there is wide space between
the branches the subject will most like
ly end his days in country other than
that which gave him birth.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Mr.. Squirrel had been busy storing
away food and while the Woodpeckers

the food in the hollow of the tree
which had once been heir home.
Now Reddy Squirrel liked nothing
better than to find store of food
which Mr.. Gray Squirrel had hidden.
When he heard the news he did not
even stop to thank the Woodpeckers,
for Reddy is not very polite crea-
ture. Off he scampered.
It was late in the day when Mr..
Squirrel returned to his new home,
and when he discovered he had been
robbed he ran to the door of his home
and chartered angrily.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodpecker knew that
they were revenged, but before they
flew away from the limb where they
sat watching, Mr.. Woodpecker said,
Freddy Squirrel called while you were
out, Mr. Squirrel, and we told him to
go right in and make himself at home.

The wrist watch which Smivers

Smivers has hopes that some day
and so when uncle made an appoint
ment with him for the following morn

on time, bought new alarm clock.
The next day he was awakened by
the new clock. It's handle said eight.
The old unreliable watch said eight

watch was correct. The new alarm
