Electric light is the magnet that draws trade.
The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business.
People can no more resist the attraction of a bril
liant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist
the clarion call of a brass band.
Is your competitor with the Electrically illum
inated show windows, bright interior and sparkling
Electric Sign getting an advantage over you?
The moth never flutters around the unlighted
candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop
window lighting a necessity, whether they remain
open after dark or not. Competition forces modern
methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with
Electric light will make many a sale "the night
before." Electric light compels attention, makes
easy the examination of your display, shows goods
in detail and fabrics in their true colors.
And don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is
soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is
lighted burning you name in the public mind. It
is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops
work costs little.

Let Him Kick.
The dally bath Is not only cleansing
but helps him to be a well-developed
child. It Is for this that he should
have a tub big enough to splash and
kick In, and be given time for this
amusement. There never was a
healthy boy who did not love this If
the temperature of the water Is as
It should be. The exercise Is most
beneficial.
The Medicinal Value of Fruit.
There is nothing better to cure the
drink habit than the continued eating
of apples, while in Switzerland they
have what Is termed the grape cure,
and thousands of anaemic and nerv
ous persons are benefited by the cure.
Eating a large bunch of grapes every
day soon restores the blood to Its nor
mal condition and quiets the nerves.
All fruit Is medicinal. Currant leaf
Is a cure for gout, black currant Jelly
In water for sore throat and pineap
ple for diphtheria, strawberries for
rheumatism, mulberry Juice for fe
vers, elderberry for chills and lemon
is excellent for colds and toning up
the system.
The Use of Salt.
Salt Is a very useful, though hum
ble, friend of the -housekeeper, If she
would but realize the fact. Damp
salt will rub off the dlscoloratlons left
In cups by the sediment of tea and
coffee. Salt will set the dyes of black
and colored articles, if a little be
added to the water in which these are
washed. Salt, mixed with lemon Juice,
removes the stains of Ink, tar or
paint from the hands. Salt and wa
ter, applied to basket and straw work,
and rubbed in with a soft nail brush,
Is a most effective cleansing agent
Brass ornaments may be kept bright
by rubbing them occasionally with
salt and vinegar. Salt, thrown upon
the grate will soon put out a fire In
the chimney. Salt, when added In
proportion to whitewash, induces the
latter to adhere firmly to any surface
to which It may be applied.
Keeping Honey.
To keep honey from souring or be
coming granulated, It must be kept
In a warm place. Many persons think
If honey has fine particles of sugar
through it, that it has been adulterat
ed, whereas It is the purest kind, and
the old honey Invariably gets in this
condition. To dissolve the sugar, place
the honey In a tin pan and place the
pan in one filled with hot water.
Laundering Stockings.
Good laundresses, when washing
white stockings, whether of silk or
thread, add a few drops of oxalic acid
to the water. The reason of this is
that the acid has the effect of remov
ing the stains caused by the boots
and shoes, which are only "set" when
washed with ordinary soap and water.
Senator Piatt, on his last visit to
the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed
a pretty little girl, a Western million
aire's daughter, to be presented to
him. The little girl, in the course of
her many delightful chats with the
aged statesman, said: "Tell me, won't
you, Senator, what political economy
Is?" "Political economy, my dear
child," Senator Piatt replied, "is the
art of never buying more votes than
