Talks • - 1 I I PUNISH FALSE ADVERTISERS Misrepresentation of Goods and Prices a Serious Offense in Germany—Law Covering Such Cases. False representation in advertising is'a serious offense over in Germany, and is punishable by fine for the first offense and by fine and imprisonment for succeeding offenses. For that reason merchants in the Fatherland are careful not to put extravagant values on goods that are not worth the price quoted. That part of the. law covering such cases provides that: Whoever with intent to call forth the appearance of an especially advantageous offer shall in public announcements or communications intended for a larger circle of persons, as touching business relations, especially as touching the character, origin, manner of production, or the fixing of the price of goods or industrial products, the manner of acquisition, or the sources of supply of goods, the possession of marks of distinction, the motive or purpose of sale, or the abundance ot supplies, shall knowingly make false representations tending to mislead, is liable to imprisonment up to one year and to a money penalty up to 5,000 marks or to one of these punishments.” When, a person is found guilty a fine of 5,000 marks ($1,190) is imposed for the "first offense; for the second offense a fine of JajjjJO marks, or imprisonment up year; and for the third offense the guilty party is invariably, sent to prison for a term not exceeding one year. In addition to fine and imprisonment, a person convicted of false advertisement is obliged to insert on advertisement in a certain number of newspapers stating that he has been convicted of unfair competition. Usually he is required by the judge to insert the advertisement in at least 25 papers, and sometimes in as many as 100, The judge usually dictates the text of the advertisement and specifies the papers in which it shall be inserted. — MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE Persistent Advertising the Surest Way of Realizing Hopes of Most Business Men. There is no man in business, no matter what business he may be in, who does not dream' of success. When he ifails to look forward and ceases to feel that success will eventually be his, he has arrived at failure. I, too, have dreamed and am dreaming today; but do we put behind our dreams the energy and force we should to make them a reality? , There is no business, whether it-be retail, wholesale or professional, whose owners do not want it to grow larger and stronger. It is human nature. I read in an advertisement of a large advertising agency the following slogan, which, I think, is worthy of repeating: “Discontent is the mother of ambition.” Advertising is a means of acquiring prestige and leads finally to the desired demand for your goods, wares, merchandise, or services, provided they are designed to fill a constant, daily need of the customer. The only medium that is regularly read by the people is the newspaper, and therefore it is the only one in which you can present your messages daily and regularly. Persistent, insistent advertising in the daily papers has been repeatedly shown in actual practice to be pre-eminently the best means of creating and developing the largest and most compelling desire for your goods. Your dreams will come true provided you have the energy and backbone to help them into realization. « ' The amount of profits varies with the way the advertising is attended to. As a general rule, the oftener the ad. is changed, the greater are the profits. Banner Advertising. Did ybu ever notice a big banner in front of a retailer's store reading as follows: “Discount from 50 to 150 per cent on all goods?” How far do you think a blazoned banner in letters 20 inches high goes with an Intelligent public? I wonder if there is a merchant in your town or elsewhere who is the possessor of a business that will net him 150 per cent or 50 per cent. If he does 50 per cent on his sales, that is one-half profit. That is outside of thd ordinary lines of retail business and bordering on gold brick idea. Any intelligent working person knows that grocery stock or other staple lines of business do not contain a margin of one-half; fa fact, if he will try it for a time I am sure his convictions will be that 20 per cent is a very good rating for-it. Then you do not figure in the large amount of people who buy things to keep them alive and when pay day comes pay some one else, or go away on a trip with the money this retailer should have had. Convict Returned Lost Rings, During a visit she paid tq the prison )n Marquette, Mich., the other day, a wealthy Cincinnati woman lost two valuable diamond rings. An honest life prisoner in the meantime found the jewels in the prison yard. They were in a chamois bag and probably had bee” kicked about unconsciously by other convicts. The jewels were promptly returned to the owner. y A Frank Confession. what did you like best in Borne?” 1 “Agra s widow I met, from Kalama«or, ” |

POOR TYPE OF BUSINESS MAN "Near Merchants” That Are a Constant Menace to Others—Lack Training and Enterprise. There is a certain class of merchants to which the term “near-mer-chant” very fittingly applies, writes E Newlanfi Haynes, in the Southern Furniture Dealer. They are getting nothing out of business themselves and are permitting no one else to. They might be very aptly termed “tired” merchants, meaning those who have left other occupations and taken up merchandizing with the Idea that here is easy work and easy money. The lack of previous training of this class, together with its almost invariable over-estimate of its own business ability, is responsible for many of the shoals and sand bars of business navigation. If there Is, as some economists assert, an over-supply of retail merchants, this over-supply is caused by the mistaken Idea of the public that merchandizing is a soft snap. Wo all know this type of merchant. When he launches into business it is with a most breezy disregard for such a trifle as running expenses. It induces him to think that his competitors are getting exorbitant profits, or else that they are better buyers. His goods are in consequence marked on the wrong basis, and since he is im--1 bued, as this class invariably is, with the idea that price-cutting is the one way to get business, his prices are additionally low besides. When that store is opened there will probably be the usual “curiosity crowd," and those low prices will draw some business and cause a lot of talk, and the dead beats will swarm to that store like vultures around good picking. This temporary flurry makes the novice think he has captured the business of the town; his competitor is on the run, he thinks; he assumes a condescending and supercilious air that is decidedly irritating to his competitors. But if they are wise they won’t get mad. Experience will make him tame long enough to eat out of hand before long. in the meantime business is disturbed; the other dealers are able to hold their trade on account of their better acquaintance with it, and also because of their better assorted stocks; but because prices are demoralized except on those goods protected by exclusive agencies. The difficulty is that it is next to Impossible to ever get those prices back again to a fair level, even should the other fellow ever come to his senses. The trouble with so many of those fellows is that they never became thoroughly "way-wised;” are not disposed to work with their competitors for the common good, and their rude aw.akening to the worries of business makes them sullen and tempery, and they are easily provoked by the representations of customers into a bootless trade war. This class goes and comes. A few learn business and become good merchants, but the majority at the most where they continue in business, are only “hanging on by their teeth, gaining little for themselves and acting as a constant menace to the prosperity of others. “As to the mediums to be used, you know, of course, that the most direct and most easily employed means at our ready command for use in educating desire is the newspaper.”—E. O. McCormick. SCHEME OF SHOE MERCHANT Hired Moving Picture Show for a Day and Illustrated Process of Manufacture of His Goods. Noting the crowds that frequented the moving '-picture show directly adjoining his store, James J. Flynn, a Worcester (Mass.) shoe dealer, resolved that he would try to get the maximum publicity out of the host ot pedestrians. He found out that he could hire the hall for a day for $25 plus expenses of electrician, and he did so. He advertised extensively among the people who frequented the small theater, also among his customers, and said that each and every one bringing the coupon in the circular, or in the newspaper, t 6 the shoe store could have a reserved ticket for that special show. He placed himself fa communication with the shoe manufacturers who have films on their hands of a working factory making shoes and acquired the loan of the films. He had a dozen lantern slides made up and he was equipped for the publicity day. The crowd was immense; the regular bill shown and the extras explained in detail —and that wonderful story of the passage of the raw materials through 207 processes and handlings and the finished article—when he showed the line of shoes he carried in bold-faced type and illustration. Everyone who attended one of the “performances” was presented with a little souvenir. Folding button-hooks were given the men—dainty pocket mirrors were handed out to the women, and a cheap toy was presented to every child. All told, this plan brought more publicity for the Flynn shoe store than any plan that had ever been used before. This publicity made many new friends for the store, resulting In a lot of new customers. Copy Must Be Live. Most merchants are beginning to appreciate the Importance of live newspaper advertising. In faCtrsmany of the larger department stores' and also specialty stores, such as men’s clothing, women’s wear shops and even jewelry houses, haberdashers, etc. ,7are devoting as high as 90 per cent, of their advertising appropriation for newspaper advertising exclusively This proves to any mind one thing quite conclusively, that newspaper ad vertlslng can be made profitable providing you keep it alive.

SOME IDEAS FOR GIFTS DAINTY NOVELTIES SURE TO PLEASE THE RECIPIENT. Clever Needlewoman Never Need Be at a Loss for a Suitable PresentMore Pleasing When Made by Hand. A gift that is made by hand is always twice as valuable as one that is bought, and so many dainty novelties are seen now that offer suggestions tor needlewomen that no one need be at a loss as to what to make for the traveler or the girl graduate or the bride of these summer days. To begin with the woman who is going away—there are so many gifts one hardly knows where to start, but one of the nicest is a set of “dress envelopes” for her trunk. These envelopes are made of heavy linen, the shape copied from any envelope, and they should be the size of the trunk. At least a half dozen may be made, bound with ribbon and worked with a monogram, and then into them may be slipped the traveler’s prettiest frocks, keeping them from ever coming in contact with the other things in the trunk. Sometimes these envelopes are simply doubled sheets of bristol board or heavy cardboard, covered with linen and tied together with ribbon. For a bride-to-be the gifts are also infinite in number and variety. A half dozen little guest towels marked with cross-stitch designs, satchet pads for the chest in which her trousseau is kept, anything in the way of household linen marked with her monogram, and also any bit of hand-made lingeries you may select. Nothing very new, you say. Well, perhaps not, but they will be new and wonderful to the girl wrapped in her dreams of future and present happiness. For the girl graduate there are many presents easily made. One of these is a pretty case of kodak pictures made from long strips of linen fastened together, the inner strip being made with “buttonholes” wide enough for the pictures at intervals both top and bottom. These may then be folded over and over and tied with ribbons, the girl’s monogram and the date being worked on the outside edge. Another novel and attractive gift is a set of collars, cuffs, a jabot, a belt and a hat band, all of hand-worked linen, edged perhaps with tiny frills of lace, while another nice gift for either bride or girl graduate is a set of aprons—a work apron, an embroidery aprons—being half way up to form a huge pocket for work), a chafing dish apron and a garden apron —all made by hand and embroidered with the girl’s monogram.

SMART OUTDOOR SUMMER HAT ft ; ? A \ Copyright, Underwood & Underwood. 14. T. A smart English .soft, cloth-stitched nat called the “Dunwoodie,” made to match the summer outing cloth suits. The shape is adjustable and can be worn as most beepming to the yearer. Bunches of grass are popular as hat trimmings.

CAPED HOODS FROM SCARFS Exceedingly Pretty Are Some of the Designs, Generally in Two Shades. Caped hoods contrived from straight lengths of material are a boon to those women who like a definitely shaped head covering for evening use. A scarf, 2% yards long by one yard wide, is box plaited across the center of one side to make a length of about eight inches and at a finger’s distance from the edge of each outer plait an elastic band 1b run through a shirring, crossing the entire width of the scarf, and this shirring is finally covered by a broad ribbon which ties beneath the chin. This arrangement of plaits and shirrings forms a full, soft hood, which falls in graceful folds about the head, while the remajnder of the scarf makes a perfectly shaped cape to protect the throat, shoulders and upper portion of the arms. Exceedingly pretty cape hoods may »e made from lengths of silk batiste >r nf shot taffeta in two shades of yellow, green, mauva, blue or aprieot,

KEEPS DUST FROM SUNSHADE Usually of Delicate Colors, Cover Just the Protection That is Needed. A delicate sunshade requires almost as much care to keep it from becoming damaged or soiled when not in use as that which is generally bestowed upon some dainty frock. It will therefore be found well worth while just at this time of year to make a little bag of the nature shown in our sketch for those of our sunshades that require protection. It is very much of the shape and nature of an ordinary umbrella cover, differing only in that it fits much more loosely, and at the neck it is gathered on to a long loop of tape, by which both cover and sunshade may be suspended from a peg at the back of the wardrobe. Sateen or linen are perhaps as suitable materials as possible to select for making the bag, but there are, of course, many other materials that would do equally well, and for a very expensive sunshade soft silk and ribbon strings selected of a color to match the shade might be used. The should open for a small distance at one side of the neck, and the hole through which the point of the sunshade protrudes should be bound with narrow ribbon or braid. Lace and Chiffon. With the revival of shot taffetas, embroidered muslins, china sash ribbons, and other quaint old world fabrics., it was only natural to expect that lace should return to favor, since, to lake only one example of many, nothing makes a more suitable and becoming finish to one of the newly resuscitated early Victorian gowns than a demurely draped fichu, made either entirely in real lace or in soft muslin bordered with-a real lace frill.

STILL THE FLUFFY NECKWEAR Vogue of This Most Becoming Mode Seems to Be as Firmly Established as Ever. Feathered neckwear is worn once again, and we realize once more how cosey, soft and becoming it is. Time and again it has been said that the reign of the feather boa is over, but far from this being the case, most fascinating ruffles are now being shown at prices which almost equal those of fur. The widest, softest and fluffiest of these is of doubled lanoered white feathers, a most opulent and beautiful stole. For the most part, however, feather necklets, though still soft and lovely and very full, are shorter than they were. Nearly all of them have pendant tassels, but even so they do not come far below the waist. The long, thin wisp which lent itself to the caricature has quite ceased to be, and ostrich stoles are now worn quite as wide as those of marabout. Fashion gives its best approval to the wide boa of ostrich feathers either in black or white or in a color matching the. gown. Loosely Woven Fabrics. The grille or filet mesh linen is much used in combination with plain linen, and there are soft, heavy loose woven cottons which have filet weave to match. These cottons are flecked with white in pepper and salt fashion, and the very good looking in the cool grays and tans, though it seems possible that the loose woven stuff might stretch and pull out of shape. '

finished at the ends with long fringe in the lighter of the two tones. The fringed edged scarfs of liberty satin and the veils of auto silk with wide satin striped borders of crepe chiffon edged heavily with crepe and of mousseline de sole in double lengths of two contrasting colors are easily» made into charming looking cape hoods. However, if a woman frtels that she needs a head covering which is a trifle more elaborate, she may border any chiffon veil with a tiny niching of taffeta having pinked edges, with an all-over design worked in silver or pearl beads SlTonger Chiffon Sleeves. With the Increasing desire for sheer sleeves and yokes an excellent chiffon has been substituted by the makers for that perilous quality which gave way with the slightest suggestion of w4ar. This is more readily found in ’ack, white> and flesh color, and ’ill undoubtedly bring joy to the eart of the woman who has longed or but bravely denied herself the Hixury of chiffon sleeves. —Harper’s Baser.

TOUCHED TENDER SPOT APPEAL IN HEN’S EYES TOO MUCH FOR “NIMROD.” Consequently Destructive Bird. Held In Honor as a Gift, Continues to Make Barren Waste of Doctor’s Garden. One of the doctor’s patients is an Italian who speaks English imperfectly, and is, besides, very poor. The doctor became Interested in him at a hospital clinic, where he treated him for some time. When quite restored to health, the Italian, full of gratitude and affection, desired to make some return for the kindness that halfi been shown him, and after much consideration decided to present his benefactor with one of his most valuable assets, a large white hen which he was fattening with a view to a feast for himself and family later on. So one morning he arrived at the doctor’s office with this offering in his arms and sat humbly waiting' his turn among the other patients. “Well, Joseph, is your hen sick?” asked the doctor jocosely, when Joseph finally was shown into the private sanctum. “Seek-a!” exclaimed Joseph. “No, ser, heem-a no seek-a. I brought-a heera to you. I want gev-a heem to you. You make-a ine well. You treat.-a me kind. I geva you de cheek. I have-a no more. I like-a you, please take-a,” and with tears o! emotion in his eyes he thrust the struggling, -squawking fowl into the hands of the physician, who, being a most tender-hearted mortal, cofild not refuse a gift he knew was offered in a spirit of sincere demotion. A few days later the doctor s brother, whose prowess as a hunter of big and little game had won for him among his friends the nickname ot “Nimrod,” was visiting the doctor, and, happening to look out of the sanctum window into the yard, observed the hen contentedly scratching up a bed of geraniums, the last bit of vegetation her actice claws had left untouched in the inclosure. “Hello, Doc! Since when have you gone into the poultry business?” said he. Then the doctor explained. “The deuce of it is,” he concluded ruefully, “that the activities of that miserable bird have kept my yard looking like a waste.” “Kill her, why don’t you?” said Nimrod. “Cut off her head.” “Oh,” said the man of lancets and probes and surgical knives, “I couldn’t do it; not in cold blood. Nimrod —not in cold blood.” “Pooh,” returned Nimrod, “let me do It for you then. Just a clip on the side of the head and it’s over.” “All right, my boy, go and do it,” 'said the brother. So the doctorclosed the window and drew down the shade and Nimrod departed on his murderoue errand. Twenty minutes later he returned. • “Well?” queried the doctor, looking up from his writing, “is it done?” "No,” replied Nimrod. “Not done!” said the doctor. “And why not?” “Why, the darned bird looked at me with its round, silly eyes and I couldn’t do it,” confessed Nimrod, with a deprecatory smile. So Joseph’s gift still clucks and scratches contentedly and the doctor’s yard continues to look like a barren waste. —New York Press. Eye Opener. Speaking of the scarcity of domestic servants, a certain blue blooded English county family in whose household there had been something in the way of a strike were, several months ago, permitted to receive an intimation at a very short notice that they were to expect a visit from some most distinguished people whose acquaintance they had long sought. With great pluckiness two of the three pretty daughters of the house turned to and cooked the luncheon, and the third, disguised in a cap and apron, posed as parlor maid. Weeks after at a function in town, both families met, and the head of the distinguished branch expressed to the third sister his regret that she had not been at home on the occasion of his visit. “Ah, but I was at home,” the little '•ogue admitted; “it was I who smacked your face when you tried to kiss me behind the hall door.” Well-Trained Cockatoo. “When seals were taught to do tricks balancing and to whirl flaming torches, and ordinary barnyard cocks crowed a duet at the command of a trainer, we thought the highest pqint in that commercially valuable lifie of education had been reached,” says a writer in a Berlin paper. “But a new ‘first place’ has been created for a grass-green cockatoo. This educated member of the parrot family rides a tiny bicycle at command and seems to enjoy the sport. He does many tricks for which professional riders receive applause. The same collection of animal wonders’ contains a monster ’lion, which is shown in a cage provided with a grand piano. A woman trainer ©liters, seats herself at the Instrument and strikes a chord, at which the Hon leaps upon the piano and glares at the pianist. Then she plays, and the lion roars in time with the music. What next?” "Black and Blue” Bruises Explained. The color of blood is due chiefly to iron in the little blood cells. When the iron is kept in these little blood cells, which are living and traveling around in the blood vessels, the color is red. Hit the skin hard enough to break some of the little blood vessels beneath the surface and the little red cells escape from the Injured blood vessels, wander around for a while In the tissues, and die. When they die the iron that made them red before then changes to black-and-blue coloring. After a while this Iron. Is taken up by the glands caled the lymphatics and made over again into nice red cells. The iron Is taken up very much more quickly by the lymphatics if the black-and-blue spot is rubbed and massaged.

STATES AWAKING TO DANGER Additional Hospital Beds for the Treatment of the Tuberculous Are Being Established. Nearly 4,000 additional hospital beds for consumptives in 29 states were provided during the year ending June I, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. This makes a total of over 30,000 beds, but only about one for every Indigent tuberculosis patient in this country. In the last five years, the hospital provision for consumptives has increased from 14,428 in 1907, to over 30,000 in 1912, or over 10 per cent. New York state leads in the number of beds, having 8,350 on June 1; Massachusetts comes next with 2,800; and Pennsylvania a close third with 2,700. Alabama showed the greatest percentage of increase in the last year by adding 57 new beds to its 42 a year ago. Georgia comes next with 109 beds added to 240 a year ago. New York has the greatest numerical increase, having provided over 1,800 additional beds in the year. RASH ALMOST COVERED FACE Warrenville, Ch —“I have felt the effects of blood poisoning for eighteen years. I was never without some eruptions on my body. The terrible itching caused me much suffering and discomfort, while the rubbing and scratching made it worse. Last spring I had a terrible breaking out of bllstery sores on my arms and limbs. My face and arms were almost covered with rash. I could not sleep and lost nineteen pounds in five weeks. My face was terribly red and sore, and felt as if my skin was on fire. At last I tried a sample of Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and I found them so cool, soothing and healing, that I got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Resolvent.

Aunt Sarah, cook in a Richmond family, took home a dish of macaroni from her mistress’ table for the edification of her own family.
