A DOLLAR SOCIAL; (Continued from page 1.) . were entertained at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Grote, of Preble. One of the main ' features of the day was the sumptuous dinner served at noon. The afternoon was spent in games and amusements. At a late hour the guests departed wishing Mr. and Mrs. Grote many more such jolly meetings. The members of the club are: Misses Minnie Leinker, Tinnie Weimer, Bertha Koerber, Carrie Tegtmeyer, Clara Leinker, Lillian Schaefer, Susie Grote, | Selma Tegtmeyer, Frieda Schmidt, ■ Tillie Schaefer. Other guests from Ft. Wayne were Kate and Louise Leinker and Anna Grote. , o THIS IS AN ADVERTISING AGE. I Every Business Man Believes in and Uses Ink Freely. > Cartoonists no longer draw pictures > of shops with spider webs spun across the front doors and the legend, "He didn’t advertise” emphazing the lest son of the picture. The funny man r has quit his gibes; the newspaper post no longer "drops into verse," like 1 Silas Wegg, to satirize the folly and ‘ the shortsightedness of the merchant i who didn’t flaunt his bargains in the i public eye. ' They have stopped because they found no matter to feed upon. The age is one advertisement. The parable of the light under the bushel ■ basket would be as unintelligible as ’ Choctaw to the average business man. 5 Even if he has but the tiniest of talj low dips he exploits it as if it were 5 an electric light and sets it on the highest spot he can reach. 5 The question is no longer, "Shall I advertise?" but “How? What will be the best medium, what will get the V articles I trade in, from brains to B brown soap, most quickly before the ■ public that needs them most and will 1 pay the highest prices for them." 2 Every once in awhile some disgruntled merchant will find fault with ’ a newspaper for not bringing him the returns he had expected from the advertisements he had run. It may have been the way he wrote his announcement that really caused the dissatis- ® faction, for advertisements are noth--0 ing more than talks and it is an essen--0 tial for one to be direct, persuasive 0 and honest as in speech over the coun--0 ter. It may be that the goods so heralded are themselves at fault. 5 Whatever the cause, this merchant 0 immediately finds that the newspaper 0 is an overrated institution; that there q are methods, cheaper and more effec--5 tive, which are within his reach. So 0 he tries them and gets his experience. 0 There are but two or three firms in J Decatur who do not use printers' ink, and some of them quite liberally.

Orphans. Two of the young friends of Bishop Wilberforce of Oxford gave the authorities of the university so much trouble that they won the nicknames of Hophni and Phinehas. One day, says T. H. S. Escott in “Society In the Country House,” .they were lounging about the hall at Cuddesdon palace, singing the Lutheran refrain, “The devil is dead,” when the bishop suddenly appeared. He walked very gently up to them and in his most caressing manner, placing one hand on each head, said In a consolatory tone: “Alas, poor orphans!” Two Hundred Species of Roses. There are 200 species of roses In existence, though perhaps not more than fifty clearly defined families. Os these families only two are of American birth. There are thousands of varieties, however, and of these our enterprising rose growers have contributed by far the largest proportion. The eagerly sought black rose Is still unproduced. though a New York florist has a dark red one which in some lights has the appearance of black velvet—Kansas City Journal. Made Him Hop.

Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there is at least ona way to help. But with that way, two treatment*, must be combined. One is local, one is constlti> tional. but both are important, both essential. Dr. Sheop’s Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure—is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout th* entire seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The “Night Cure”, as its name implies, does Its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and in flam ed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up waited tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use a* well Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure W. H. NACHTRIEB.
