Are All Criminals Insane?
If the murderer may escape legal
punishment for his crime because the
emotional explosion which brought
about the homicide is adjudged to be
a temporary insanity, where is the
line between an irresponsible condi
tion and mere hate? asks Collier’s
Weekly. How many emotional Ital
ians, poorly nourished, badly bred, in
heritors of none knows what taint, are
yearly convicted of varying degrees of
homicide, and swiftly punished, who,
had they the money to employ able
experts and counsel, might prove that
the state of mind in which they jabbed
stilettos into the other men, was com
parable to a neurotic cyclone, in
which their poor physical members
whirled in a state of complete moral
anesthesia? In a hundred years will
our whole crude legal machinery for
drawing hard lines about responsibili
ty seem as barbarous as the ancient
tests for witchcraft? Plainly, in the
relation of punishment to crime, we
are as yet children groping in the
dark. It may be noted in this connec
tion that a bill has been introduced in
a state legislature to provide that mur
derers who have no money and wish
to enter the plea of insanity may em
ploy a suitable medical expert at the
expense of the state.
What Makes Spring Early or Late.
Until recently it was taken for
granted that the heat given out by the
sun was always the same in amount,
not differing one day from another,
or one year from another. But it has
been finally ascertained, through a
long series of experiments, that the
amount of beat given out by the sun
is constantly varying, and that at
dimes it is not less than one-sheth
greater than at other times, a differ
ence amply sufficient to account for
exceptionaly cool summers or warm
winters on the earth. Indeed, says
Rene Bache, in the Reader Magazine,
there can no longer be any doubt
that we owe our weather, to a great ex
tent, to the solar luminary; and our
government is at present engaged in
a painstaking study of the subject in
the observatory on Mount Whitney,
Cal., the expectation being that, when
it has come to be more fully under
stood, science will be able, by obser
vation of the sun s activity, to make
forecasts of raeterological conditions
for at least six months in advance.
In the simultaneous discharge of
eight of the ten 12-inch guns of the
Dreadnought, a shock was given the
vessel of 400,000 tons, more than
double that of any broadside ever be
fore fired. The vessel of 18,500 tons
skidded sideways several yards, list
ing many degrees. The guns are 53
feet long, and each shell of 850
pounds is discharged by 265 pounds
of cordite, with a muzzle velocity of
2,000 miles an hour. It is calculated
that if the eight guns could be com
bined in one and fired at the height
of the atmosphere, the shell would
travel around the earth forever as a
miniature satellite.
Many of the unwedded ones in Fort
Dodge, la., seem to take in deadly
earnest the municipal ordinance im
posing fines on those who remain
single, although it is extremely
•doubtful if the constitutionality oi
such a regulation would be upheld
by the courts. At any rate, men and
women are getting married by whole
sale. In two days a local magistrate
married no less than 33 couples
whose avowed object was to escape
the fines to which they would have
been subjected under the terms of the
ordinance.
Many towns or France have a
beautiful custom of crowning with a
wreath of roses the young woman
who has distinguished herself during
the past year for her kindness to her
family, her virtue, and her assiduity
in her work. The contest for the
honor is bound to be keen in St'
Cloud, a suburb of Paris, this year,
for a generous citizen has willed a
sum sufficient to provide an income
of $120, to be given each year to the
winner of the rose wreath.
James Ford Rhodes, whose history
of the civil war has added so much
to the authentic annals of the United
States, was until a few years ago an
extensive iron and steel manufacture

historical research and literary work
Mr. Rhodes, who passes much of his
time in Washington, abandoned an
eminently successful business career
to devote himself wholly to the prep
aration of his history.

Soon after the coronation of King

HOW TO ADVERTISE
EFFECTIVE METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
Generalities Are Meaningless to the
Public—Why the Mail-Order Man
Wins—Try the Plan.
If you. Mr. Merchant, would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to success—the
goods—the prices—advertising.
The last of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, hut in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver
tising, or what he does do is not effec
tive in the same way that the mail
order man's advertising is effective.
The writing of effective advertising
is not. an art. it is not a business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need.
It is comparatively safe to say that
75 per cent, of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Such
advertisements as the following are
found in every paper:
GO TO
BLANK’S
FOR
Hardware, Stoves and
Tinware
BEST GOODS LOWEST PRICES
The mail-order man's advertising is
different. It is specific, and while the
glowing descriptions given are often
misleading—a thing which Blank's ad
vertising should never be—they at
tract the attention of the reader and
possible purchaser because they tell
about some one thing that he may pos
sibly want.
The mail-order man makes a run
on a few things which he is willing to
tail the goods lie has to sell, and
quotes the price he asks for it will
attract the favorable attention of the
public far more often than the one
who deals only in generalities. It is
this kind of advertising that pays. It
is this kind of advertising that is at
tracting the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the mail
order houses of the city. It is this
kind of advertising that drew $200,
000,000 into the coffers of the Chicago
mail-order houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr. Merchant, whether your
line be hardware, dry goods, groceries,
clothing or other commodities, it is
well to go further than your newspa
per advertising, though this is the
foundation of success. Go to the local
printer and have him make you little
catalogues of your own. They do not
need to be large affairs, but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Put
into these folders the descriptions and
prices of the goods you are carrying,
or leaders in the line. Be sure that
the prices quoted are right, then put
one of these into the hands of every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make
a practice of getting out a new one
every few weeks.
You, Mr. Merchant, can make adver
tising pay larger returns than the
mail-order man secures; you can make
it the mainstay of your business, and
you can make it the means of killing
the mail-order competition in your
community. And when you do this
do not begrudge the publisher the
reasonable price he asks you for ade
quate space in his columns. He will
give you better valqe than any other
commodity you can buy.

sell at a close margiji of profit in or- |

on which heavy prodts are made.
Blank should advertise hardware in
much the same manner the mail-order
man advertises hardware, and he has
this advantage—he can invite the peo
ple of the community to visit his store
and see the goods for themselves so
they will know just what they are buy
ing.
If, instead of expressing meaning
less generalities in a two-inch space,
Blank had used a little more space
and properly displayed an advertise
ment something like the following he
would have been sure to have at
tracted attention to his store, and in
all probability would have been sur
prised at the drawing power of his ad
vertising:

The prices given here are of course
mere fiction, but the prices Blank
should quote in his advertisement
should show the pualic that he is
giving bargains: they should be prices
that would compare favorably with the
prices of the mail-order catalogues,
and he should impress it upon the
public that he not only shows them
what they are buying before they pay
for it, but that the purchaser has no
freight \to pay, and does not have to
wait iui interminable time for the
goods he buys, as when ordering of

It Is specific advertising that draws.
The advertiser who describes in de
dressed with intentional disrespect by
any person in my employ," says Jose
phine Daskam Hacon in the American
Magazine.
“I have never been left a day with
out my regular staff of employes,
which has varied from one to five
(that is to say, that I have never
been left suddenly or without suffi
cient notice to supply the vacancy).
"I have never had a satisfactory
worker leave me except for what I
considered a good reason (in the ma
jority of cases an advantageous mar
riage).
"I have never lost an unsatisfactory
one except by my own dismissal. I
have never to my knowledge, or even
suspicion, suffered the loss of a pen
ny's worth by theft, and my record
for breakage is such that it produces
utter incredulity.
"In three cases out of four I rtave
had services willingly and frequently
offered me along lines where it was
not expected or requested. I have
had extra money offered by me to off
set extra work occasioned by sickness
refused on the ground that at such
times all the household expected to
share the trouble.
"And as a climax I am able to state
that once, at least, on my offering a
raise in wages to express my appreci
ation of competent and devoted serv
ice I was met with the astounding sug
gestion that as my expenses were
heavy at the time and likely to in
crease I had better not consider it. ”
Worshiped as Deities.
Snakes, the objects of terror to
mcst Europeans in eastern lands, are
worshiped in most parts of India. In
sorne districts there are from 15,000
to 20,000 shrines dedicated exclusive
ly to the worship of snakes. These
shrines, which are Invariably in honor
of one of the minor divinities of the
country, possess, in some instances,
valuable properties for their mainten
ance and for the cost of the numerous
ceremonies which their keepers have
to rerfcrm. In these shrines the Hin
dus set up fantastic idols of serpents.
The devotees of this strange religion
make periodical offerings of dough
and milk and cooked rice to the ser
pents living in the shrine, in order to
receive their favor.
Only One Novelty Left.
Sirs. Flora Annie Steel, the author,
wi! asked recently by an American
friend for some information about her
self. Mrs. Steele replied: “I have
been married, I have borne children, I
have two grandsons, I have, there
for}, lived through the life alloted to
woman, and the only novelty before
me is death.”
Encourage Saving.
The wise father and mother will
never discourage the fancies of their
children for accumulating things. It
is a natural instinct, inborn in the
most of people, and given a little
thought and care by the older heads
may be turned to good account. If
the child begins to collect “pretty"
pebbles or shells at the seashore don't
throw them out—but iet them form
the basis of a little geological col
lection, and with proper guidance the j
youngster will soon be looking upon
“sticks and stones” with an interested
and educated eye.
THOUGHT HIM A LUNATIC.
Man’s Queer Jumble of Words War
ranted the Inference.
Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha
ven's chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor |
that he could be cured if every time j
he felt that he must have a drink he
would immediately take something to
eat instead.
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as i
a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel !
and. hearing a great commotion in the
room next to his. he peeped over the
transom to see what the mhtter was. '
He saw. and rushed madly down to J
the office and shouted to the clerk:
'The man in 153 has shot himself!
Ham and egg sandwich, please!”—

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.
Easily Prepared at Home and Harm
less to Use.
This is known as “Blood-Cleaning
Time,” especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
jne can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
<unce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
aunces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak
ing well in a bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism. Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
It is said that one week's use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, wdiich
will be appreciated by many readers.
HAD NERVE, BUT NO MONEY.
Jnlucky Man’s Modest Request for
Pecuniary Assistance.
Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans a few months
ago, took the opportunity of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
tashed several tickets, the result of
food guesses. He was feeling happy
ifter the last race, and started for
Jhe automobile which was to convey
aim back to his hotel. As he was
ibout to climb into the machine he
’elt a hand on his arm, and a man
shouted in his ear.
"Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put a crimp in the bookies
;o-day.”
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
“Say, I want to speak to you con
fidentially,” said the stranger.
“AH right; what is it?” asked the
comedian.
"Well, I am up against some hard
luck to-day. They cleaned me and I
want to get home. Now, don't let
any one of these people see you. but
slip me enough for car fare, will
you?”
“Sure,” said Hitchcock, placing his
liand In his pocket. Then he paused
and queried: “Where do you live?”
"Vancouver,” was the answer.
Hitchcock took a flying leap for his
machine, and unless the visitors at
New Orleans are more gullible, the
impecunious one is still looking for
car fare.—Harper’a Weekly.
ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by Philpotts’
Novels.
Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, “The River,” "Children of the
Mist,” etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
“For 30 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some 5 years
ago I found that it was producing indi
gestion and heart-burn, and was mak
ing me restless at night. These symp
toms were followed by brain fag and
a sluggish mental condition.
“When I realized this, I made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, I concluded to
try it. I had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week, that I no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heart-burn, or brain
fag, and that I could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
“Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied.
“As a table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use it) that
when properly made it 1b most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however,
necessary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely I
to neglect the thorough boiling which
It must have in order to extract the |
goodness from the cereal.” Name given j

When the nervous system is broken

Nervous breakdown is often gradual,

' Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
* Mr. W. W. Munroe. of 16 Hazel Park,

ago this September I became all run
■ down from overwork and from confine
ment to work duriug warm weather.
For two mouths I grew steadily worse.
I lost in weight and strength and had no
appetite. My memory failed me quite
rapidly and I became in a very low
state, both physically and mentally. I
took no interest in life, neither in busi
ness nor recreation. In my position, as
foreman in a large manufacturing
chemist’s establishment in Boston, a
good memory is absolutely essential to
success because of the immense amount
of detail that must be carried in the head.
4,I grew very despairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked on my condition.
About the middle of December a friend
told me one day that- he had tried Dr.
Williams’ Piuk Pills and found them
reliable. I commenced taking them and
at- the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends I
continued using the pills until I was
thoroughly recovered. I regard them as
a fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit
I received from them.”
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu

The Value and Importance o! Ethical Remedies..
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficialiv and
are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world an ' the approval of
the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and
approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many
years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per
fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedv of an ethical
character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company’s original method of manufacture,
known to the Company only.
_ There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of
the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over ail other family laxatives
that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without
disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effecis and without having to
increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the mod excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects,
always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Svrup
of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of F'igs
and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which I
has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists
throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price
of which is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, fiied with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., the remedy is not adulterated or mis- \
branded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
