Everything wu going One With the fisher people nntll n few day ago when tho government at Washington, which had previously given up the work of salvage, suddenly came to the realization that washing with fresh water prevented the clothing from rot ting. The war department promptly Issued an order to the headquarter of the department of the fforthcait In The better the store the better the advertising pays. Your own observations in the store-world will 'confirm this truth. y Publicity is bad only for a .bad proposition. It is just ns surely good for a good one. What is a "good store?" One that really serves. the public, protecting its patrons as to values, not merely as. to prices. . ' . . , .' i There are many stores in this city answering to that xlef ipition completely. In every city there are . always some stores that do not. . v , An important phase of a good store's service to its patrons is its newspaper advertising. This should be com plete, frank, informing. It should tell the store "news as , fully as a good newspaper tells the news of the day. ' . . , Perhaps the best possible new policy .for the , good stores of this city to adopt would be that o,f doubling the advestising space that they, use thus giving them "elbow room;" giving them bigger opportunities for telling their patrons, in detail, about every selling event, about every bargain' offering, about every dollar's ' worth of new stocks. Of course, even half enough advertising pay the" ,rcally good store; but adequate .advertising would pay much better. v . . . .

TRAMP IS SAMARITAN NureTwo Lonely Famlll 8trickn With Influenza. , John Kennedy and Thoma Camp- hull, two farmer living in a lonely section of Foster township between ilnzelton and White lluven, Pa., re ported to the authorltlea recently that they und their fninlllea undoubtedly had been aaved from deoth through Influenza by the timely appearance ot an unknown tramp at their home, when every member of both fumllle wu down with the plague. The tramp "blew In" after alighting from a Jersey Central freight train and called at the Campbell place for something to eat, only to discover the entire household critlcully ill In bed. Going to the next noose, be found elm liar conditions, and then decided to act aa the Good Samaritan. Be nursed eleven of the patients back to health, looked after the Ore, did the cooking and attended to the atock until Camp bell and Kennedy were able to look after the work themselves. The tramp made frequent trip to Hazleton and White Ilnven to buy food and medicine, and alwaya re turned with the Change, except email amounts that he retained to quench bla thirst on the way. This allow ance waa willingly granted. Chrysanthemum" la Chin.-.'.!. There Is a common belief that the chrysanthemum originated In- Jnpnn, but like tnaiiy other 'good things, it waa really borrowed front the Chinese. It Is, however, the royal flower of Japan, appears on the aeal of the em' peror, and on the postage stamps of the country, while It baa been the prin cipal feature of an annual fete for 900 years. Adopted though It waa, the Japanese have done so much with the chrysanthemum that they "feel they have a right to call It tneir own.

IS ATTACKED BY SOCIALISTS Disposition of Imperial FUndsto B Decided by Austrian Parliament Former Ruler la Living In Castle Belonging to State, but Cannot Touch Million Treasure to B Divided Among New State. Pending an Investigation ty the Austrian parliament of the disposition of the Imperial funds, the position of former Empc-ror Charles ' and the erstwhile Imperial family continue to be a painful one, though Dot danger ous unleR the situation should lead 1 to disorders. Tn that event the family possibly may travel to Switzerland or elsewhere. ' The socialist papers continue freely to attack the former .emperor, arch dukes and aristocracy, claiming that the latter dll not do their duty dur ing the war. There Is much critical and frivolous gossip concerning the former Empress ZIta, '" ' ' ' '" The secret file of the old Emperor Francis Joseph la being examined. Ills fortune Is variously estimated at from 80.000,000 to 200,000,000 crowns. According to one report the old em peror divided 60,000,000 crowns be tween hi two daughters, Glsela and Valerie, and his granddaughter, the Princess Wlndlschgraets. ' With other large sums of the Imperial funds do nations were made to churches, pen sions and the roynl poor. Although Charles officially Is the dixpenser of these funds it is stated that In reality they are handled by the bank directors. Lives In State Castle. Ekertsau castle,' where the former emperor U now living, does not belong to hlra but Is property of the state, together with other large estates and also the famous collection of Jewels In Hofburg castle, among which Is the Florentine diamond, called the fourth largest In the world, and also a won derful necklace. . It Is expected that this property i will be distributed among tbe various I republics or 1110 mrtner empire wnen the accounts are settled among them. It will be necessary also to divide np the vast nnd wonderful treasures, the masterpieces of art. paintings, an tiquities land vases centered In Vienna, formerly -crown property, or In the state museum Or other museums or libraries. These are believed to be worth several billions of francs. Vienna's Glory Tottering. ' Tbe disposal of these treasures Is expected to be a difficult task and to be fraught with disaster., to Vienna, since her whole future existence. Is be- lieved to depend upon her ability to make herself a center of attraction for visitors, tourists, artists, archi tects and students of music and medi cine, now that she no longer Is a cen ter" of commerce and politics-of, a great empire wbjrh annually drew In billions of income from such sources. Friends of former Emperor Charles assert that all tbe sins of tbe Haps bnrgs have been vlstted upon his head and that he has teen blamed for all the grafting tn the army, although the aristocrats declare that the graft ing generals we're principally those without titles. They admitted, how ever, there were a few exceptions In which corrupt nobility profited by the ; war. It Is asserted by tbe friends of Charles . that while the old emperor never was permitted to get In touch with the neonlp Charles Immolate! v got rid of the "old. crowd" and did hla, best to Introduce new men and to stop the war.

For a while be content-' ed himself with riding across the area with his machine listing at an angle of 50 degrees. Then' he raised the front wheel oft the ground and rode that way," Turning his machine with an acuteness that skidded him all the way around he started on the. return trip. As he approached the awe Stricken class he stood up on the seat of the motorcycle and, waving his owns In the semaphore code, signaled, 'That's all there Is to It" But later they found out that he used to ride around the walls of a tank in a circus sideshow, .
