Using the "hormone," the stmgc principal of life ami en ergy taken from n sow, scien tists at Colli Springs Harbor -liavc obtained amazing results, in experiments on rats. Female rats that had been sterile were made fertile without exception, and giving the hormone from the female swine to female rats caused them to produce young rats "five day old at birth, which would be equivalent to an infant six mouths to a year old." M . Other experiments arc now making with rabbits and other animals. Abnormally develop ed young rats weighed, irew born, 48 per cent more than the normal. ' . Human mothers would not thank scientists for adding to v the size and weight of infants At birth. Some harmless method of re ducing thp baby's size would bo .welcome, and some doctors already bring that about by special diet. It scums outrageous that a KKJO-pound grizzly bear should, while sound asleep, have a cub weighing two or three pounds, ' while a 100-pound woman often has an infant weighing ten pounds.

Kutall advertising musi express the Individuality of the merchant and must be placed through chan nels that will reach those persons who are prospective buyers, was the message brought to merchants by Mr. Vance. Tho first assump tion, he added, Is that the succoss- ul firm advertises. The man vyho fnils to advertise soon loses his place and is crowded out by tho merchant who uses modern and successful advertising methods. Copy Important -"Naturally the preparation of ad vertising copy is ot great Import ance. The merchant buys his mer chandise with a view ot reselling It at a profltMia continued. "He is the one. who knows best his stock of goods and his business policies and he should Jealously maintain the right of preparing his copy to uring aooui tne nesireu results. Advertising should be given ex treme care and very careful study. " Advertising, he further showou. phould be done on a percentage basis. Some classes ot business ap propriate 1 per cent of their gross Bales to advertising. Others pay the same for advertising that they expend tor rent.
