heard about that,
business man who
in advertising his
particular brand
of breakfast fod
der increased "the
circulation of the
paper in which he
advertised a hundred-fold?
Well,, it was
t h.i s way. His
name was Wise,
ani he had un
limited money to
spend. He had
formerly owned a
sawmill and he
naturally had a
large quantity of
sawdust on hand.
It struck him that
if he could buy a low-priced molasses,
.aiid cquld make "an amalgam of .mo-
-. lasses and. sawdust and advertise it as
" the-, only, nutritious -food, good alike
for brain, brawn,, cutjcle, and hair,
he roujd. matte- a fortune in a month
or. two . .
.So he-called in an -advertising man,
and put him on a princely salary at
. once', and said:'
. -;."Go ahead. Advertise Sord Ust n
any -way you like, as .long as you get
.the. people's attention."
.- Now, the advertising man was a
senilis and -lie said to himself: "If I
-. advertise' this thing, a little in every
. paper people will only think a little
. "of it, but..if I bend all. my energies
on 'one. paper. an"d that a -very impor
' tant one, and advertise it there
uniquely for a month or so, the very
. . oddity -of the thing .will attract atten
". lion.'-' Z . .. .
; . -So he went to the" office of the Dailv
llowlei; and said:
"-. "I warit to. buy every page in your
" ,papor. for advertising .purposes."
" And. the' business manager told him
4t "couldn't be done.

"Sorry, colonel, you didn't -come a

grabbed out his handkerchief and

"Yes. that's it; seen one in the side

And I had seme cf the best corn bread
So. the advertising man showed him
what a large check he could write,
and then the business manager said it
was possible, and the. next day Mr.
Man had every page in the Daily
Howlef. There was not a murder, not
a hit of editorial speculation, not a
thine of any so'rt in the paper, except
the name and the date and. the sub
scription price.
And of course there was no adver
tisement. And that piqued curiosity.
Well, this thing happened next day
and ihe next, and then on the editorial
page was printed in very small letters,
TRY SORD UST.
Now you may wellTjelieve that sub
scribers began to rush in, for here was
a paper that could be introduced into
the most bigoted home in the land.
There were no tiresome politics in it;
no dreadful murders; nothing but
Sord Ust.
Every- one said It was the cleanest
paper that had ever been issued, and
more and more people subscribed to
it. It got to be quite a fad. To be
sure, the subscribers did not know
what was going on in the world except
by hearsay, but they had that much
time for other things, and they were,
consequently, far happier, and, read
ing about no murders or steamship
trusts or presidential possibilities,
they finally came to the conclusion
that the millennium was at hand.
But, of course, the thing that made
the most impression on them was this
Sord Ust. They began to inquire for
it in the stores and they found that
no one kept it. No one had ever
heard of it. It was impossible to buy
a box of it anywhere because the
clever advei Using mau had given or
ders to his employer to refuse to sell
it for at least six months.
People did not even know whether
it was a new kind of soap, or a break
fast food, or the latest thing in stove
polish.
What was the result? Why, people
were mad to get it. They would have
I reckon you ever saw made out of
this pearl corn. Hard! Why, you
could have a grain of it sat and wear
it for a breastpin. Along with it all,
too, was a yaller pitcher full of but
termilk brought from the spring
house, and "
"I've got to go," the editor ex
claimed, jumping up and clapping his
hat on his head.
"Wait a minit and let me tell you
about it. Set down," and the old man
shoved the editor back into his chair.
"And I do reckon 1 had some of the
best sparrar grass that ever growd
outen the ground, and these little
brownish redishes that look like a
rusty-coat apple. Haungry! Why,
colonel, I never was haungryer in my

me for a week. I reckon you are that
way, too. Folks must bring you thou

You may noi make as much money as

that if this here prime preacher re

editor.

and hurried over to one of the neigh
bors, where the old maid school teach
er ain't expected to live till sundown.
Nearly all the women folks in the
neighborhood are flockin' over there,
and I reckon they'll have a good time.
The old maid was engaged to' be mar

old Dorb Servier died, do you? I set
up with him the night afterward, and
along about 12 o'clock old Aunt Judy,

Some seem to forgit that folks get
hungry, but old Aunt Judy wan't one
o' that kind. She had a way of fryin'

make a saint pop his mouth like a bull
it The very idea that 4a a free coun
try they were not -allowed, to buy any
thing they wanted! Was this Maine
with a prohibitive law on something
the people really wanted?
And all this time the editor of. the
Daily Howler kept on increasing his
edition, and all the time Mr. Wise
went on buying sawdust and cheap
molasses until he had a whole county
in northern New York heaped high
with it and five large mills xhard at
work. compressing it into cakes.
And ai lastseemingly on account of
the pressure of public opinion, 'but
really because the advertising- mau
said it was high time, Mr. Wise put
an advertisement on the first page of
the Daily Howler to the effect that'
Sord Ust was a breakfast food, and
that all you -need do to it was to pour
a little hot milk on it; and if your
grocer wouldn't get It for you change
your grocer at once!
Was it a success?
Well, I guess.
Why, they had one long freight train
stretched from the mills to New York,
moving all the time on a special track
and as fast as a car was unloaded at
Ihe Manhattan end a car was filled at
the other end.
Motive power? Electricity, of course.
And the man became a millionaire
ten times over before the year was
up and before the Sord Ust had kicked
up any racket in the insides of the
lopulaoc.
And iiow the advertising man be
gan to advertise in all the papers, and
the Daily Howler came before its
millions of subscribers with murders
and editorials, once more, and they,
after their long fast, were only too
giad to learn that the world was not
as good as they had suspected, and
the Daily Howler was a bigger suc
cess than ever.
But the editor had got the tip. and
he didn't use Sord Ust, on his home
menu. And he's alive yet.

"Don't you do it. My work's putty

Authority 017 Subject
Refreshments far a Bridge Party. r .
I-am going to entertain 12 ladles at
ridge and wish to give a light lunch
eon in middle afternoon on the cafe
teria order. -Will yon kindly tell me
what to serve and" how,.. I will feel
very grateful .to you. Xenia.
- . .
Arrange your dining-room' table with
center-piece and. candles, then have
plates with napkins and silver In the
table. , Let the guests help themselves
to salad out of a bowl, also to sand
wiches (two .kinds),, pickles, olives,
salted nuts and bonbons. Have cof
fee, chocolate and tea passed on a
tray. You can have frappc or a
sherbert passed during the game, it is
always refreshing.
Spring Decorations.
I am planning to give a little lunch
eon to the members of our Womans'
Reading club. Can you give me any
suggestions that would be pretty for
decorations for spring? E. M. T.
Nothing is more beautiful than the
lovely spring flowers, jonquils, daf
fodils and tulips have been much in
favor this spring with candle shades
to match the color which has been
mostly yellcw. Tiny umbrellas make
appropriate favors for April.
For a Baby Shower.
Will Mme. Merri kindly suggest how
to issue invitations for a baby shower
I wish to give in June; also how to
present the gifts and what to serve?
M. L. D.
The invitations are issued verbally
or by informal notes or your visiting
cards may be used with "baby show
er" in lower left hand corner. The
refreshments may consist of anything
dainty. I would suggest gelatin with
whipped cream in molds, sandwiches
of nuts, cottage cheese and olives, hot
chocolate or tea. Give the presents
in a dainty hamper, or if that is too
expensive cover a large box with pret
ty rosebud wall paper, tie with pink
and blue ribbons.
For a Stag Party.
How shall I issue invitations for a
stag party which I wish to give for
my brother on his twenty-first birth
Jay? Not too elaborate and I do not
want to serve drinks of any kind.
Think I'd like a luncheon. Maybelle.
I presume the stag parly is to take
place at night, and a luncheon is never
served except in the daytime. You
can have a dinner at seven o'clock,
a nine-o'clock supper or just refresh
ments at about 10:30. To the latter
I would have oyster cocktails, chicken
salad, sandwiches, coffee, fruit and
cheese. AH you have to say on the
invitations: "Stag Party" or "Smok
er" and the guests will understand.
You can have a birthday cake and
-Irink the host's health with lemonade.
It would be nice to ask each guest to
give a toast
For a Linen Shower,
v Can you suggest something for a
linen shower, some novel way of giv
ing the packages? Avis.
Have all the packages in a child's
wheelbarrow ornamented with flow
ers and ribbons. Dress a small child
like Cupid to trundle in the load.
There are cunning Utile gilt arrows
to use for favors or to put on top of
heart-shaped cakes and candy.
A Budget of Questions.
Kindly answer these questions for
me:
First. Are party calls out of date?
Was informed that they were. If so,

Novelties in Hatpins.
In Paris hatpins are seen made of
heads of stuffed birds or made of
artificial flowers. A society lady in
New York brought a hatpin from Eu
rope with the head in the shape of a
miniature peacock. The bird is com
plete," tail, feathers and ail, but the
whole is not more than four inches in
height.
Another pin head consists of a large
red rose, so fresh and rich in color
that it seems as though it had -just
been plucked from the garden. Gar
denias and. camellias, too, form the
heads of some of these pins. These
floral hatpins can be made at, home
by buying a small bunch of flowers
and running through the center a plain
hatpin with a black end.
Combination Sleeves.
The newest of sleeves is a combina
tion of the mikado and the kimono, ar
ranged so that, although the armhole
is fairly small, on the top of the sleeve,
there is no seam. The waist and sleeve
together are gathered into the usual
fulness, used in the ordinary way.
This allows sufficient material for the

tber patters,
then dinner calls must be out of date
also.
Second. A lady issued Invitations
for a colonial tea lor. two different
hours in one day. Invitations worded'
.In "old-time style:" "Will you come.
etc?" Did that require a reply? .
Third. A lady invited me to her re
ception, who had not previously called,
.but inclosed a card. I went to recep

a party myself, a few days later, I
invited her to mine. She came, and
now who owes the first call?
In leaving a card at a reception do
you-make a call after, or is the card
"a call?"
Fourth. If two ladies entertain me,
one only of whom has called .upon me,
.am I later entitled to entertain both,
or just the one?
Thanking you in advance for reliev

Katheryn.
In reply to your first question party
calls are not out of date, decidedly not
Your informant is ignorant on the sub
ject. Every invitation accepted brings
with it an obligatory call or a very
good excuse must be had to omit the
courtesy. A dinner party or any for
mal affair requires that the duty call
be paid within two weeks. The lady
who issued the Invitation for a
"colonial tea," certainly should have
had a reply at once, accepting or
regretting.
In regard to who owes the first call
I should Eay it is the lady who in
vited you first without previously call
ing, providing she is the oldest resi
dent of the town.
To your fourth question the reply is
that the lady who had not called sent
her card because the two were en
tertaining together and it would not
have been polite not to have sent it.
You may or may not return the com
pliment. It is just as you feel in
clined to do.
MADAME MERRI.
Trotting skirts now hang straight.
Braiding continues as popular as
ever.
Daisies are popular for the baby's
millinery.
Bell-shaped skirts have vanished
from fashion.
Many accesories show the reign of
the "diabolo" craze.
Flame and watermelon shades are
perhaps the most fashionable.
Dresses lie close about the feet, and
there Is no stiffening in skirts.
Tunics are not cut rounuV but In
points, to which are often attached tas
sels. Sleeves made In one with the bodice
are in accordance with the latest de
cree of fashion.
Straw hats that look like miniature
sombreros make a jaunty headger
for a two-year-old boy.
Handkerchief Jabot.
A Parisian novelty is a jabot made
of a tinted bordered handkerchief.
Cut one-quarter of the handkerchief
away and make out of this a butterfly
bow. Plait the remainder of the hand
kerchief so that three hemstitched
sides form the finish around the edge
and to these lace is sewn or not, as
the wearer desires. This is very eas
ily made and not very expensive. Of
course, the lace-edged handkerchiefs
can be used to make daintier jabots.
sleeve to be arranged in a puff at the
top and gathered again at elbow
length.
Thus the plain look of the kimono
sleeve is modified to a great extent,
and the fulness at the shoulder is so
becoming to many women that they
have found the last year of Japanese
fashions very trying.
Colors for Blondes.
The colorless blonde must avoid
black, dark green and purple, choos
ing instead bright navy blue, white,
cream, pale blue, mauve, pinks, gray,
amethyst and .possibly olive green. If
the skin Is very white this type will
become fluffy transparent black 'for
evening wear. . especially if the lips
are red.
The sallow blonde mnst exercise the
greatest care-in selecting her. colors.
Many authorities agree that yellow,
pale gray and ecru 'will become her.
Deep, warm colors, will salt her better,
such as rich deep reds, browns and
bines, relieved with ivory white about
the throat, rather than ecru, which
neither matches the skin nor contrasts
with it Warm gray is allowable.

9AYS 'OF FINANCIAL. STREt
' MAKE FARM LAND LOOK
aicH.' '
; A ataJT "coatrihator f a wathera
newspaper has taken ap the question
of the retura to the farm of many who
had forsakea it 'for the glitter of- the
city.. He says: "It is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows .that those men who have
been most sacceeaful'm life and who
have left their impress upon its peo
ple and its lastitations- as sUtessaea,
soldiers, tnanclers have as a role
been those whose youth was spent on
the .farm, and It is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially "does it come with re
doubled persuasiveness, greater, pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man of
affairs when the. clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of 'panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tle; when with reason, or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state Into which some
men were brought by the recent finan
cial flurry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some' were ruined and a very few be
came insane because of their losses.
Two or ttiree took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $10 to
$15 per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments In
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re
sell to farmer friends. The agents of
the Government of Canada located ai
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &c. These are val
uable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &c.
Very True.
The Best Friend I hear her old
husband shows her a dog-like devo
tion. The Casual Gossip Yes, they say
he is always growling at her.

This sign is -permanently, attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. FSnkham Alediune
Gomjxuiy, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean ?
It means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is- nothing about. the bus
iness which is not "open and above
board." It means that a permanent invita
tion is extended to anyone to conio
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs with
out drugs ?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu
ally use as much of it as we are told. ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person as
Lydia & Pinfcham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write ?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and Sec.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women ?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who. know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben
efited by it; but the poor doubting,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake,be taught confidenceJbrshealso
might just as well regain her health;
