You VIag jRdmire
The clever advertising that draws you to a store, but you
won't go again if the promises made are of the pie crust

Light The Path to
Prosperity
Merohants who use tungsten electric signs never lose their
way by choosing the wrong road to success. You bimply can
not fail to attract new customers if you -use the electric sign.
It acts like an irresistable magjiet, drawing all the trade with
in its reach. Tungsten lamps give over twice the volume of
light of any other incandescent lamp. That is the reason why
they command the attention of buyers.
For Every Store Owner
no matter how small his business, the tungsten electric sign
is the cheapest and most effective advertising.
Telephone 5010 and ask us to design a trade pulling sign
for you one which will be distinctive and operate economic

Breaking the Colt.
The earlier the colt is made used to
the harness the better broken the ant
mal will be when it comes time foi
him to do some light work. It Is easiei
to keep colts from learning bad trlckj
than to break them of such habits.
For this reason have every strap
and rope used by the colts so strong
that there is no danger of a break.
Once a colt finds out that be can get
away from a halter or other parts ol
the harness there will be trouble, per
haps for all time.
Air Requirements of Chickens.
Fowls are obliged to throw off much
of the waste of the body through th
lungs. They do not sweat In the sensi
that do other animals, but Instead
breathe several times faster than
sweating animals when heated. To
keep in good health a hen require!
nearly seven times the amount ol
fresh air in proportion to Its size ai
does a horse.
Color of Eggs.
The first eggs of the brown-egs.
layers are generally of a good color,
but as the hen increases her laying
she decreases the amount of color,
owing to the gradual loss of the plg
ment which colors the eggs.

The Proper Way.
"Do you believe what the German
army ofllcer says, that tightening
one's belt will alleviate the pangs of
hunger?"
"Certainly, If the belt Is tightened
In the proper manner."
"Is there more than one way to
tighten a belt?"
"Certainly. One way is to pull it
up two or three holes, thus shorten
ing it, and"
"That was the way I was thinking
of."
"But the way to so tighten It as to
hunger is to
cram the stomach full of food, thus
distending the walls of the stomach
and tightening the belt automatically."

dog?" he inquired.
"Five shillings," replied the son.
"Tell thee what A'll do," replied the
parent. "A'U go shares wl' thee. A'll

The half crown was duly paid; then
