ft Was a Unrr In This Country la
ta Eighteenth Century.
The first newspaper notice that an
nounced the sale of cocoa and chocolate
n America read:
"Amos Track, at his house a little be
low the Bell tavern In Danvers, makes
and sells chocolate which he will war
Unnt to be good and takes cocoa to
grind. Those who may please to favor
tilm with their custom may depend up
on being well served, and at a very
cheap rate."
This notice appeared In the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
of June, 1771, five years before the
signing of .the Declaration of Independ
ence. Despite Mr. Trask's assurance
that his rate was cheap, chocolate was
very expensive and beyond the purse of
any but the wealthy folk. Wouldnt
they be surprised to see how generally
chocolate Is sold these days In packages
as cheap as a penny?
When the Spanish soldier Cortes con
quered Mexico In 1510 he found the
people very fond of a drink called
"chocolatl." This was served to the
ruler Montezuma In a cup of solid gold.
When the Spaniards went home they
Introduced this drink Into their coun
try, but It remained very expensive.
The secret of Its preparation was never
allowed to get out of Spain. Now it Is
the cheapest article of food and drink
we have.

Gam and Tobacco Are Not the Only
Materials I'tillmed.
Gum chicle, which forms the basis of
most American chewing gums, Is by no
means the only chewing material,
though chewing gum has spread over
a large portion of the world.
Among the old fashioned the gum of
the spruce tree Is still In greater favor,
and druggists near the great spruce
belts drive a thriving trade In the brown
lumps.
Although the chicle comes from the
tropics. It Is seldom used as a chewing
gum there, uncured rubber being the
fashion. In Peru "cuca, or cocoa
leaves, form the staple chew, the plant
being a powerful stimulant, since from
Its leaves cocaine Is extracted. In the
east the betel nut Is chewed In prefer
ence, the nut being prepared with lime.
To It might be accorded the place of
first prominence, since because of the
congestion of population practically
one-tenth of the human race give it
their preference.
One of the oddest chews Is the leaden
bullet which the English soldier used
to chew before the introduction of the
jacketed bullets now In use. They de
clared that it lessened their thirst and
to some extent deadened their hunger
on long marches.
And then there is tobacco.
ARE YOU TIRED OF PAYING
BLUNDER TAXES"
5
Many a business man pays as much money for the luxury of blunder
ing as a steam yacht, or a private touring car would cost.
"Blunder Taxes" cannot be evaded whatever else waits, these must be
paid. If a business man gets Into the habit of making the same blunders
more than once, the taxes will soon amount to confiscation.
"Blunder Taxes" are levied with amazing frequency upon store adver
tisers. Among the blunders which are assessed at "full value" in adver
tising are these:
Selection of poor mediums. i
Using too little space In good mediums.
Devoting less attention to preparing the dally store advertisement than
to the storing of some empty boxes In the basement.
Stopping the ad altogether for one or more days now and then.
Figuring the advertising appropriation on the basis of what you can
"afford" after all other expenses are provided for.
The use of "programs," schemes, circulars, posters, fence-signs, pla
cards and jlm-cracks, under the Impression that you re securing real pub
licity, and that somewhere, somehow, sometime someone will be Influenced
by some of these things to come to your store and buy something.

In the early days of the present
German empire the question as to how
the kaiser's title should run divided the
court Into three sections. One division
favored "Germnn emperor," the second
was for "emperor of Germany," while
the third wished It to be "emperor of
the Germans." Bismarck, who was
present ut one such discussion, looked

ODD THINGS ABOUT WORDS,
When he Word "Lanch" Waa First
Used It Meant m "Lump."
A "lunch," etymologlcally, Is Just a
lump. In the sixteenth century
"lunch of bacon" meant merely a slice
or hunk of it So Burns speaks of
bread and cheese "dealt about In
lunches," and Scott records that "little
Benjle was ramming a huge luncheon
of pie crust Into his mouth." While in
modern times "lunch" Is an abbrevia
tion from "luncheon," the latter was
originally an elongation of "lunch." A
philologist shows how the old -noon
shenk," noon drink, came to mean noon
eating, and to appear ns "nunsneon,
and the development thereafter of
luncheon" from "lunch" was very
natural.
Curious changes of words sometimes
take nlace between two languages.
Thus English has borrowed the French
poseur" and bus given to r ranee
nnh" In trade. Frenchmen have a
way of taking a polysyllabic word and
half of It. Thus of "steeple
chase they have appropriateu iue
"steeple," and now the French sports
man speaks or "iuouiiuub o
when he means to ride a race over the
customary obstacles. A smoking jack
et is with him n "smoking" and a sleep
ing car is a "sleeping."
Innplred a Noble Poem.
It was the duguerreotyplsti Ilesler -of
Chlcugo who Inspired Longfellow to
write "Hiawatha." Mr. Ilesler was
one of the most eminent of his profes
sion, and lu 1851 the London world's
fair uwarded him the prize medal for
dacuerreotypes. One of them, a pic
ture at the falls of Minnehaha, came
into the poet's possession and furnished
immediate inspiration for the poem.
In testimony of his debt to Mr. Hesler
Longfellow sent him a bound volume
of his poems with his signature and
compliments on the By lear.

SKIN HARD
AND DRY
Some skin diseases are active in Summer, while others wait until cold
weather to manifest themselves. Winter Kczcma sleeps in the system through
the long hot months, and gives no sign of its presence; but at the coming of
Winter the trouble asserts itself and it becomes one of the most painful and
distressing of all skin diseases. The blood is filled with poisonous acids
which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through
the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and
feverish and the itching intense. The natural oils which keep the skin soft
and pliant are dried up by the cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard
and dry, givingitthatshiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of the disease.
The head, face, hands and feet are the usual points of attack, though other
