“The editor of the Weekly Plaindealer is, a charitable sort of feller,” commented honest Farmer Hornbeak, In the midst of his perusal of the village newspaper, wherein he had encountered an example of the linotype’s peculiar perversities. “In his article on the death of Lase Dabsack, who, betwixt me and you, hadn’t much to recommend him except that he wasn’t quite as bad sometimes as he was others, he says that the deceased was generally regarded as shrdlucmfwypU mfwybgkqj bengzt.’ “And I guess that's about as near as anybody could get to making an estimate of the departed without hurting his relatives* feelings.*'—Puck.

Advertising Talks

ADVERTISING FOOD PRODUCTS Statement of Prices and Description of Goods More Apt to Get Business Than Generalities. Merchants handling. provisions should understand better than any one else the value of advertising. Food is the mo-1 vital need of all. No other advertising gets such interested reading as a well written notice describing food offerings. Manufacturers of food products on a national scale learned this some time ago. Money is poured out like water to advertise food products in the magazines. It must pay. or it would not be spent: Yet, in the local newspapers, the grocers, butchers, and other provision men do not advertise with the freedom shown in the dry goods, furnishings, furniture and other trades. Probably the reason for this is that many merchants of this type never studied advertising enough to realize its possibilities. Here is a sample ad, < lipped from an article in the Pub- , Ushers’ Guide: g

Brandon's Corner Grocery; Remem- ! ber when in the city to make this | your trading place. Highest market prices paid for country produce, and always a square deal We always carry a full line of staple and fancy i groceries. Canned goods a specialty. Brandon's Corner Grocery. Phone 261. This is an excellent illustration of how not to do It. says the Moline (III.) Dispatch. There is no selling power in tbat ad. It tells the public that Brandon is alive and wants their trade, which has value as far as it I goes Ent it might go a great deal farther; 1 The provision man Who will men-1 tion prices of some of his best lines, describe them a bit so as to stir the appetite of the reader, will find his store crowded. Here are a few items from a well written ad. showing how the trick is turned: Celery, Presley’? white plume, crisp and tender, extra good flavor, large plant for 10 cents. Sweet cider, made from the choicest apples, per gallon. 25 cents. i Oysters. Our oysters come in sanitary sealed packages. The ice never ; touches Remember our price. - ’ Solid meats, quart. 40 cents. ' : -I- 1 -:. Does It not make you hungry to read kn ad, like this?

Check a Cold.

At the very first symptoms of a cold it is well to commence treatment, for by doing so serious developments may be prevented. Let camphor be inhaled, give the feet a hot bath in mustard and water, after which the patient should get into a warm bed with a hot-water bottle to the feet, and drink a large tumblerful of hot lemonade made thus: The juice of* a lemon, a large teaspoonful of glycerine, a little sugar; fill up with boiling water.

New Excellencies.

Labor’s Victory

ONE thing at a time. When. the eight-hour workday has been extended more generally to those industries throughout the country- which have succeeded thus far in obtaining only the nine-hour day, and on the whole, have reason to congratulate themselves upon this measure of success, it may be seasonable to consider whether the eight-hour day marks the limit to labor’s aspiration in this direction. In the industry represented by the international union of interior freight handlers and railway clerks the nine-hour day has been quite generally established. It is felt that this marks a distinct triumph of organized effort, and while of course it is recognized that the eight-hour day in this, as in every other industry, is the ideal toward which organization must constantly strive, those of us who have just entered into the enjoyment of a nine-hour day have hardly begun to agitate for less than jeight hours. The irresistible tendency in even- industry like our own is toward the acquiescence bv the employer in the eight-hour plan. Under a system of ten-hour shifts or of nine-hour shifts there is left out of the twenty-four hours a period of four ®r six hours for which there is some difficulty in providing. \\ ith the twenty-four-hour day divided into eight-hour shifts there is an equal division into three parts, which is found most convenient to regulate and maintain. The employer has found also that he can get at least as much and as good work out of the eight-hour man under ordinary conditions, as under the old system he could get out of the ten-hour man. The agitation for a reasonably shorter work day, it may fairly be said, has been conducted by organized labor with prudence as well as zeal. Certain industries have been fortunate enough to secure shorter work davs sooner than others, and those in which the eight-hour day has been established permanently may be expected to devote more of their energy to assisting the nine-hour industries in the effort to obtain the eight-hour day before concentrating all their efforts on a still shorter work day for themselves.' ‘ I believe that it will be some time before there will be anything like a general demand for a work day of less than eight hours, although labor

will strive to obtain the Saturday half-holiday, which, in practice, will amount to a substantial reduction of the week’s schedule.

Useful Birds Should Not Be Killed

By D. Webster Groh

Game laws should prohibit minors, exconvicts and irresponsible people generally from carrying guns anywhere except on their own premises, unless they first obtain the property-owner’s written consent to hunt there. The murderous butchery of innocent, useful birds and animals through so-called “sport,” tends to brutalize the “sportsman,” until he disregards the rights of his fellow-men and invades their premises as ruthlessly as he slaughters the game. Increasing intelligence, civilization and progress must, eliminate barbarous hunting.

Worry Is True Cause of Many Break Downs

By Frank Crane

stogies and had begun every daywith a big cup, twice the size of an ordinary cup, of strong coffee. The fact is, the human mind is like the old oaken bucket that hung in the well: when it gets-full it runs over. It will hold so much only, is capable of only so much power of attention and retention. When you go beyond that limit it simply quits. Further effort is useless. It is worry and not work that kills. Overeating and overdrinking are the real criminals hiding behind overstudy. Be healthy, temperate and cheerful and you can work till you drop—and then sleep.

Benefits of Little Windward Anchor Fund

By A. HITCHCOCK

pretty defir : te picture—in our minds—of a cute little abandoned farm among the New Hampshire hills When we get $3 7 or $4 worth of dimes in the teapot we take the contents .down to’ the savings bank and get a little higher interest. Or maybe we shall buy a bond. • , . Anyway we have the teapot waiting for its dimes, then there is the savings account and, lastly, a definite something worth while to save for.

Secure Work Day of but Eight Hours

By P. J. FLANNERY

Our pretty, sweet-singing, useful native birds are being rapidly exterminated by improved, long-range, rapid-fire, breech-load-ing, cartridge-charged, repeating guns, used by thoughtless, reckless boys, ex-con-victs and penitentiary candidates, who, uninvited and forbidden, now daily swarm, trespassing over the farmers’ fields in numerous gangs, shooting also the farmers’ tame pigeons, guineas and other poultry, and sometimes his horses, cattle, hogs and other stock, and occasionally even him, his family or themselves.

One of the bugaboos of the intellectual life is overwork. I have lived some time and observed quite a number of folks, and never in my life did I know of a case of breakdown that I believed to be due to overworking the brain. One young man I remember who went to school with me. He was a brilliant student. When he went to pieces, a nervous wreck, everybody, and particularly his Another, attributed it' naturally to overstudy. I knew better. He had sat up regularly till vety late smoking innumerable

Did you ever-hear of a “windward” anchor fund? Neither did we until we established one ourselves and so named it. You see, we had never been able to save money, perhaps because we had never been able to visualize, so to speak, the benefits to be derived therefrom. But the time arrived when it was desirable and possible to save and we selected a receptacle—a teapot—and determined to. drop twenty cents a day into it. This constitutes the fund, but what makes it easier to drop in the dimes is a
