KNOWING HOW TO ADVERTISE

There good many business who be-
lieve in advertising in theoretical way and would
say that without doubt it is tremendous factor in
building up business. But they can't seem to find
time to think out the things they want to say in
ad, and they hardly know where to begin.
Yet every article in their store, if well Sc
leeted and sold for fair price, is good subject
for advertising.
The prospective advertiser need not think
there is anything difficult in advertising If he
knows how to talk, he should know how to write
good ad. II he can describe the merit of some
article he talks to a customer, he viii be able
equally to set these ideas of his down on paper
and tell the reasons why he thinks that certain
articles worth the money which he asks for
them.
He win always have in his store certain lines
specially suited TO that particular season. The
people look through the newspaper to see who is
offering these articles, and they are disappointed
il they do not see them described and see prices
quoted. The wide awake store that responds to
that desire by telling what has TO meet the needs
Of that special season date going to be looked

Similarly the store needs to report the special
things il has done to meet the needs of its Gus
toners. II il has bought some specially good lot
At price that It considers favorable, if it handles
lines shat it considers superior. if il wants to turn
certain goods into cash, it should report these de-
velOpments just they are. People win then say

Too much rich food creates acids
which clog the kidney pores so that
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from
the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive. full OF

and your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kid

also to help neutralize the acids in

things had changed. OF course, there
were changes in the looks of the town.
There were few sleighs lined up along
the main street; instead there were
automobiles.
He had been thinking how the
sleigh-bells would Jingle as the horses
pulled the sleighs over the crisp win
ter snow. But instead of sleigh-bells
there were the sounds of firm rubber
tires creaking over the frozen, snow
covered streets. There had been au-
tomobiles used in that winter Of seven
years past but they had not been pre-
dominant. The sleighs had a chance.
Now the sleighs were quite missing.
The automobiles had charge.

another seven years If he would see
lights from airplanes and hear them
buzzing over the buildings. Yet, even
if he did, he did not feel as though
1.-THE place would really CHANGE
There was something about the
town that would never change. They
might build more modern shops, air
plane landings might take the places
of so many garages as the garages
had taken the places of blacksmith
shops, but the essential qualities of
the town would never change.
Always Christmas would be Christ
mas here with its holly-filled windows,
its wreaths over doors, its trees for
Christmas lining the main street.
Doubtless that was the way Christ
mas would always be in many places.
But here it would seem more impor-
tant. Christmas would be deep in the
whole eheart Of the town which always
expanded and became so generous and
big and open at this season, of the
yeaf.
Probably because it was. Christmas
Nd seem different here from that Of
by other place.
He remembered the Christmas be-
Orc. There had been gayly decorated
shops, hurried, happy shoppers, lighted
Christmas trees in the streets, crisp
snow and Christmas greetings.
But 1t hadn't been the same. Christ
mas seemed to belong SO much more
to his own home. In that other place
he had felt little lonely and q little
out of it. But here he had no feeling
of loneliness. Even though he was just
back and as yet had met few Of the
people he knew and had vaguely rec
ognized some who were grown up now
who had been children before he left.
he did not feel out Of it.
They might not recognize him, but
he was at home and he was happy
and loneliness had been banished from
his heart in gloriously complete
fashion.
He had gone home as soon as he
had arrived. And now he had come
up to get the mail. 1t was not that
he expected any mail. His Christmas
cards and boxes Of cigars and neckties
and such would be sent to his business
address, for 1t was not until the last
minute that he had been sure he could
