Tm: Detroit Evening Journal has
adopted the new "24 o'clock" idea.
The idea is carried out in every de
partment of the paper. It issues
three daily editions, viz: The 1-L
o'clock, the 15 o'clock and 17 o'clock
editions. The Journal says: "This
need cause no confusion to the reader
who has but to remember that there
is no a. M. and p. si., and whenever
any time is given beyond the noon
hour, the reador has but to subtract
la to get tne proper nour, as our i
clocks now road.' Announcements
made in accordance -with the new
idea will read thus: The curtain rises
at the theater at 20 o'clock, and
church services begin at 1950.

Alilttle Story with a Larco Uloral
One 31 an who Knew his
Own .Business.
"No. my dear," said tho venerablo keeper
of a country storo to a timid littio girl whose
head scarcoly camo up to tho levol of tho
counter. "No, my dear, wo haven't any red
flannol, but wo havo soma first rato Now Or
leans molasaes." Softly hinting that she
didn't think that would answer tho purpose
quite as well, tho child went her way in
soarch of tho articlo sho wonted.
"Havo you BENSON'S CAPCINE PLAS
TERS?" askod a gentleman of a certain drug
gist whoso name could be stvon woro it do-
sired. "I am troubled just now with a touch
of my old friend, tho lumbago, and tho Bon
son's Plaster seems to go to tho spot nlmolt as
soon as it touches tho skin."
"Not at present." replied tho druggist, gen
ially " but, wo havo lots of plasters just as
good. There is AUcock's, tho Capsicum and
others won't ono of thorn do as well?"
"My dear sir," rotortcd - tho gentloman
with a slight show of tomper, "I say nothing
against those articles, but I am a business
man, and always ask for precisely what
want, and for nothing else. I may enlighten
yon, however, when I say that somctuno ago,
for another disease, of which the Capcine has
since cured me, I tried all thoso you mention,
with no appreciablo benefit. They oro ineffi
cient, every ono of them, the meanest act of
the proprietors of some of them being this :
that they make plasters with similar sound
ing names to deceive tho unwary into believ
ing they are tho samo thing. Experience
taught mo tho difference I'll go to tho next
man in your line. Good day."
Bo on i our guard against imitations. The
genuino has tho word CAPCINE cue cleanly
in the middle of tho plaster. All others are
impositions.
