M Wooden Nutmegs Profitably ' It is important that the public knows what advertising means. Especially im portant is the fact that plenty of advertising almost invariably means AN EXCEL LENT and Honest product. If you read that a man had invested a million dollars in a factory of brick, stone and iron you would not need to be told that he would refrain from setting fire to that factory, especially if it were not insured. There are many business men that have put not one million, but five millions and ten millions, into an advertising reputation. They have put their millions into words and have created by them a reputation as solid as any brick or any iron. That reputation IS THEIR FORTUNE that repu tation is their life work. It is not insured. It cannot be insured. For the man who has put his millions into advertising, to lower the quality of his goods, to deceive the public, it would be like setting fire to his millions without any insurance. The man who advertises gives hostages to the public and proves that it is his in tention to succeed by giving value, by living up to that which he has promised. There are, of course, fraudulent advertisers, although they are constantly becom ing fewer. And they are becoming fewer, thanks TO THE POWER OF ADVERTIS ING ITSELF. For the advertising of honest goods has made the work of deceitful advertisina more and more difficult, less and less remunerative. 1 Advertising is no longer used to sell wooden nutmegs or to sell "a fine steel en graving of George Washington for fiftycents," which turns out to be a United States two cent stamp with George Washington's face upon it. Advertising builds up the honest man and kills off the dishonest man. There is more profit in building up a grocery business and selling the best of nutmegs at a fair, small profit, than there could possibly be in selling wooden nutmegs. If you are thinking of plans for an advertising campaign for your business, con sult the advertising man on THE COOS BAY TIMES. Grocers Cannot Advertise Cbe Giving of Gifts 1 iSTti I 5f one (s going to give a Christmas pr:s- cnt it should be vcftb a cheerful heart. If you can't give (n this spirit do not gfvc at all. Hie give presents to our friends at Christmas because they arc our friends and because we derive pleasure from such giving. In the giving of Christmas pres ents there should be none of that spirit which suggests commercialism. Cbcrc should never be any expectation of reciprocity. Che giving of a Christmas present should be from the heart. Che present itself counts for little. Che spirit and motive vf bich prompt the giving are all important.

Tho Dny After Christmas. A graceful llnish Is uue of the most essential touches of any successful venture. The pianist dues nut drop Ids hands abruptly from thu keys as soon as he has played thu last note, but holds them there a moment lunger un til the music dies away. Diners out would be Indignant If the table were whisked clean the moment the last mouthful was swallowed. They Hud the lingering on a little while over the coffee and nuts most delightful. Christmas Is too beautiful and too solemn it festival to drop in this hasty fashion thu moment the clock strikes midnight, for any occasion which needs espeelal preparation ulso needs nil adequate closing, and particularly Is this true of those things whose val ue lies' In sentiment. There are many things to be done after Christinas. There are letters to he written, houses to be put In order, gifts tu be arranged, and every one of the countless details may lie done ei ther with gin ce or without It. In the theater the lliml ctirtalu falls with lil ting dignity or appropriate gayety. It has all been a play: but. even so. the actors do nut wall; off after the last word Is said and allow the stage hands to rush on. That would offend the mood of the audience. How much truer this Is of something which Is not a play, but a very real part of life! The days after Christmas should he as mvstleal In their way as were the days before Christmas. The ornaments that deelted the tree should be put away with the same euro and pleasure with which they were brought out. the greens taken down with the same mer riment that accompanied their going up. The afterglow Is sometimes tho most beautiful part of the sunset, and some times It Is even more beautiful than thu sunset Itself.

But always when Elnathan tried To pop the question so I've heared He'd stammer like hit tongue was tied And choke all up, he was so skeered.

Apprehension Felt From British Navy In the War of 1812. Six mouths or the war or 1812 bad elapsed when thu people or tho United .Still us celebrated Christmas n hundred years ago. Hull had surrendered De troit, but another Hull hail won a de cided victory over the Hritish ahlp (Juerrlere. while another ship, the United States, had captured the Mace donian. In New Voile a Kreat Christ mas lmntict was given to Captain Isaac Hull, commanding tho Constitu tion. "Old Ironsides," which had won the battle with the Uuerrlere. and to Captain Stephen Decatur, commander or tlio United States. The hautict was given in the City hotel, which occupied the whole front of 11 block from Cellar to Thame streets. In thu vicinity of Wall street. This was the last Christmas festival In New York till after the sinning oC the peace treaty, for In 1813 the city was plunged Into black despair orer the fear of thu Hritish navy and the distress thnt had been caused to our commerce and shipping. hooked at from this distance, IC seems little less than a miracle that the comparatively puny American nary should have whipped tho navy of Oreat ilrltalu. then the greatest In thu world. The panic in which our clilor seaport town was thrown by tho fear of attack from the mistress of the seas Is easily understood.
