I ' thought that some of the “splurge, advertising” is done by large companies because of excess', profits jtax “Danger of this thinking is that it seems tp imply that advertising comes out of profits. But advertising doesn’t , come out of profits—profits cpme cut of advertising. Spending $1 or SIOO,OOO on ads woVt ciit .the tax by 77 cents or $77,000. If ithe program is effective.* it will actually increase taxes becau'se.it will increase profits to be taxied. ’’ If you don’t want to n'ake Aiphey in business, don’t advertise, the ixperts prove. ” . ’ . r o-r—r—O--i ■ Tfte Lost Speech:— Os all Lincoln's the one of which we jkhow the least and would like to know much more is. his so-called “liost Speteln” On Maj- 29. 1556, Lincoln, a delegate, addressed the first convention of the Republican 1 party in Illinois. No written tor printed copy was made, yet by all accounts he swept the delegates eff their feet. Willia.m H. Herndon. his partner and biographer, called the address “the girabd eb fort” of Lincoln's life. Joseph ,Medili, assigned to cover the\ speebh for the Chicago Tribune, took no notes, explaining that the speech put him in “A sorlj of not-ic trance.” interestingI.' 1 .' hint so much that he.forgot, to> Write. ' Nbw cqm.es a new and. less romantic explanatiori of this failure , to take down , Aincoln’i words. Robert 8. Harper, a newspaperman, in his new book, “Lincoln and the Press,” says that the speech was intentionally \bst. In those days opppiition i party organs never attempted to cover • their rivals’ proceedings._The recollection of the listeners was that Lincoln' had made k 1 fiery speech, calling for the abolition of slav'd y. Fearing shat sbeh ;i speech wpuld-jnjure the infiint party, thb Republican editors of the day deomitted thb text of the' address, according to this theory. Nowadays neWsphi|ers { have a Higher conception of function. \ They aim to report the news, no matter what their personal interests. Had £iich a policy prevailed in 1856, Aiperican oratory migfit have been .richer by the survival of Lincqlq’s “Lost Speech.”- • ’*l. . ' >'■ m’.

antiseptic solution may ’’’tj tried. After the washing, some Penicillin solution should, be left ’• M the sinuses. Improvement often ■ begins by the end of second day\ of- such treatment. If three or tour such washings do not completely\?clear up the condition, process? should bej discontinued. However, after eacli cold or other infection. of the nose or throat. , ; ’he 1 sinuses may well be washed just to make sure Jthat reinfection •locs not take place. Larger Opening 1 7 A chitonic sinus infection majy a.iso be treated by making | permanently large opening for urAinage.; In fortunately, this opening or window often, closes up It it remains open, a Retire of the eorulitloh will result in practically all instances. Atone of these procedures is of valrie in chrphic 'sinus infection ’.i «-hilt|ren. Drugs which' shrink the lining membrane of the nose, thus increasing drainage are helpful, but these ’must not.be nsi?d too often. If the infection still ( (.n.tinues, m< re radical treatment may be employed as the individual reaches inaturity. / QUESTIONS AND J. -M.:\.My gums h.ave ‘been re■ceding.

Chapter twenty-eight GAMADGE continued with bis theory of bow the Coldflelds had planbed to place Sylvia Coldfield in a sanitarium temporarily: “It’s a kind of murder, yes, and we mustn’t forge* that one of them anew Crops the beginning that you nad nothing against you—not even attempted suicide, which was the basis for the wpole case. The murderer knew it. And let me assure you,” said Gamadge, “that the murderer is as happy as a king. Or a queen. If queens are supposed to be happy too. Not a tremor, not a twitch of the nerves: that character feels as safe as a Slug tn a cocoon." i \ Mrs. Coldfield nodded. “Now for what 1 did gather, which isn’t much. Ames Coldfield knows as well as we do whit our theory is; that you and your husjband were given those capsules, with intent to kill. He’s a clever man, as you said; a very clever man. He couldn’t miss that alternative. Whether any of the' Others nave missed it, 1 don’t know. And I’m almost sure he knew those Gprthwaih letters were there in that tittle rosewood desk. Whether ne simply found them, and left them, or whether he’s the one who sold them, 1 don’t as yet know. I'll know better tomorrow morning." 1 “Left them?)" asked Clara. “If he’s, the ancestpr-worshipper n\e pretends to be, What exactly could he do? Destroy them? That V would be against all his instincts. Tell about’them? I doubt it. If there had been\ a Garth wain affair there might have been otherp, and how would the Watertons. to say nothing of thfe family itself, feel about a suggestion of baton sinister tn the Coldfield arms? 1 think he’d leave them for the next generation to deal with* and mean* while he’d savor the secret and get a lot of private fun out of it. I’m only guessing." “And by the time Glen found put,” said Mrs. Coldfield, “Ames had looked through the letters again; only one envelope was there. The Garthwain correspondence had been sold.’’ “Yes, he knows that too. So what does he' do? Nothing. He had no evidence. But hasn’t ,he wondered whether a criminal secret; like that isn’t connected with your husband's death?" . /‘He sounds very heartless and cruel," said Clara. > “In his way he is, 1V suppose. He gets a lot ot fun out of it all got a lot of fun out ot showing us the Deane "Coldfield letters, and reading one ot them 'to us." “You actually got yourself up into that pttic?” “I did, but we won’t go into It now—there isn’t time. Now tor your brotherin-law Ira Coldfield. He's an enigma, like all of pis type; he’s learned to control his peelings. He has outbursts' at the right moments, but who’s to say ' V. A'/'-' ’

She said:* “I dbnlt quote poetry, Glen broke me of it; and the only way I could possibly say What I feel about you tU'o , would be by .quoting poetry." “Don’t have any illusions about us,” begged Gamadge, laughing. “Wc ilo as we please."
