THE HUM OF THE HUMBUGS Catalogue House System Offspring of Humbuggery. CHEAP AND FLIMSY SECONDS It Is Supposed That Satan Was the Original Humbug— The Retail Catalogue House People Have Developed the Art Until it Has Become a Disease With Them.

(Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan, j. On a certain occasion some boys • thought they would play a trick on the great naturalist, Darwin. They caught a beetle, glued various parts of other insects upon Its head and body, placed it in a little box and humbly knocked at Darwin's door, seeking to know what the great scientist would call this wonderful bug they had assembled. Mr. Darwin looked it over very critically and asked the boys very seriously, "Did this bug hum when you caught it?” "Yes, sir; it hummed a great deal.” replied the boys, with sly winks at each other.’ "Then this must be a humbug,” said Darwin. it is supposed that Satan was the original humbug, since the mail order houses have been established he has had to take a back seat, and among so many modern improvements he must feel dreadfully useless and antiquated. Love to 3e Humbugged. That the American people love to be humbugged long since has passed into a proverb. Trickery may be called dur national vice, our besetting sin Like liberty, it appears to be in the very air we breathe. We take to It as naturally as we do to politics. Our entire social system has become saturated with it. Even at times it masquerades under the mantle of charity, which, like a well tilled purse, covers a multitude of sins. There are various kinds and classes of fakers and tricksters, but the | princes of them all, the incarnations j of fraud, are the advertising bumbugs, who. when stripped of the sugar coat- ( ing by which they impose upon the public, are simply professors of falsehood. Would Strike Liars Dead. The ancient scribes tell us that the Lord once attempted to check the humbug habit by stalking the liars dead, but when he looked into the future and snw the huge catalogue houses looming in the distance he reluctantly relinquished the idea, as he saw that such a plan in the congested centers would prove more fatal than a second flood. The mail order houses word their advertising so as to appeal to the credulity and weakness of human nature, as it is generally known that every son of Adam and daughter of Eve possesses a disposition to resort to games of chance, an inclination to get something for nothing.

Posaess the Gambling Instinct. A noted gambler once said: "Life consists in taking chances. Providence lias instilled Imo the brains and hearts of men the betting instinct” So when the mail order houses came into existence they at once opened up an avenue for the development of humanity's well known weakness—a desire for gambling. As the catalogue houses passed from the elementary and experimental stages to that of a permanent and pronounced reality the gambling instinct of the consumer kept pace with the humbug's progress. The consumers read the bewitching circulars describing the many wonderful bargains; they fumbled the pages of the huge catalogue in bewildering amazement. The angel of doubt hovering near whispered warnings to the fascinated buyer, but the god of chance was beckoning from the distance, and the order was sent forward. Cheap, Flimsy "Seconds.” The advertising humbug's advertisements and catalogues depict bis goods as something marvelous. Bedsteads, chairs, tables, couches, picture frames, heaters, etc., which appear to be massive, handsomely carved pieces of work, are nothing but cheap, flimsy “seconds” when delivered, and the buyer Is often ashamed to cart them home in the daytime, but waiU for the dark ness of night to cast its mantle over their defects. Sometimes the gambling instinct Is so deeply set in the natures of some | consumers that one evidence of the trickery of the advertising bumbug is insufficient, and they again indulge I their passion for gambling by taking a | "chance” with another order and again getting imposed upon, and so on ad Infinitum. Paraguay’s Sweet Plant. A herb called l< the natives caa ehe, but botanieally Eupatorium rebaTldlanum, grows wild in Paraguay It is remarkable for its sweetness. Indeed, the native name means the “sugar plant.” It grows along the borders of the river Atnambalii and attains a height of only about five inches. The smallest bit of this plant when placed upon the tongue produces a surprisingly sweet flavor, which, it Is said, lasts for hours The saccharine power is much greater than that ot sugar

I was drawn down so that I could only walk with my hands { on my knees. My doctor said he t could do nothing for me. I tried ! many kinds of medicine, but all to no avail. A friend told me about Dr. . Kilmer's Swamp Root, and as I had > tried everything else that I heard of, .

as=sass 11 ■- — ir Not a Bite of Breakfast Until * . N You Drink Water * t Says a'glass of hot wafer and phosphate prevents Illness and keeps us fit. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not completly ollmlnated from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest tije bowels. From this mass of left-ofer waste, toxins and ptomain-llke poisons arc formed and sucked into the blood. Men and women who can’t get feeling right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day’s accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick headache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject. Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, because the skin pores do nd*, absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the • bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. o OLD-TIME COLD CURE DRINK HOT TEA! Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as the German folks call it, “Hamburger Brust Thee,” at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time during the day or before retiring. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores of the skin, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking up a csld. Try it the next time you suffer from a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore safe and harmless. RUB RHEUMATiSM FROM STIFF, mo JOINTS Rub Soreness from joints and muscles with a small trial bottle of old St- Jacobs Oil Stop “dosing” Rheumatism. It’s pain only; not one case in fifty reouiree internal treatment. Rub soothing, penetrating “St. Jacobs Oil’’ right on the “tender spot,” and by the time you say Jack Robinson —out cornea the rheumatic pain. “St. Jacob’s Oil" is a harmless rheumatism cure which never disappoints and doesn’t burn the skin. It takes pain, soreness and stiffness from aching joints, muscles and bones; stops sciatica, lumbago, backache, neuralgia. Limber up! Got a 25 Cent bottle of old-time, honest “St. Jacobs Oil” from any drug store, and in a moment you’ll be free from pains, aches and stiffness. Don’t suffer! Rub rheumatism awav.
