A leading profession. Many fail because they do not know it. It is absolutely necessary to get your business before the public. Peo- ple read only the nervy, attractive, pithy, fresh, up-to-date, prim, announcement. Nothing silly, fool- ish, cheap, prosy, or clap-trap-like will do. Good advertising, like good clothes pays best. It talks, it is a silent salesman. The American business man has the newspaper habit. The best investment is the local newspaper. The leading American firms, when setting apart their advertising appropriation, apportion about 75 per cent of the amount for the local newspaper. Change your place in the paper, alter the style, getit in different color if you can. Illustrate your ad. The children in the kindergzarten learn to remember by the pictures, and we are all children only a little larger grown. A preacher said to us the other day, “That Jesus Christ did not advertise his sermons, or make known the subjects upon which he was going to speak.” He was only a little mixed in his history, that was all. He forgot that Gutten- berg, and Caxton lived just fifteen centuries after Jesus, and that they had not the use of the printing press as we have today. He just for got that the word “Gospel” simply means in plain Anglo-Saxon, "zo-spell,” or ‘“go- spiel,” or “tell-forth,” all of which means advertise, and tell about it. Open the *“Big Book” if you will and you will read, “Cry aloud and spare not, lift up your voice, lift it up and be not afraid.” That ought to be enough, a word to the wise should be sufficient. HE KNEW THEM. A Congregational minister, the father of six-year-old twin boys, was obliged to send one from the table for misbehavior. The little fellow was sitting crestfallen ona chair in an adjoining room when the.maid entered. Upon spying him she said, “Oh, Billie, I'd be ashamed to be sent away from the table, as big a boy as you are, too.” Billie, with flashing eyes, drew him-| CLEANING UP IMMENSE SUM self up saying, ‘‘Well, you wouldn’t it you'd known this family as long as I have.”—The Delineator for April.

Some people ask why the Buick cars always seem to win in the races they enter. From a mechanical standpoint this is easily explained. The Buick engine is constructed with valves in the head; the intake and exhaust valvees being so placed that the charga of the gas is taken directly over the piston and the ignition takes place in the center of the charge. This will give twenty per centymore power than it is possible to get out of other engines of the same cubic eontents with other valve construction. s Powex means speed. It is also possible by this construction to get a more flexible engine and that is why you will see the Buicle car driven about the streets as one would drive Tt is possible to throttle tee engine down to a very low speed without killing the power, and it is not necessrry to change gears in order to bring your car down The oiling system on the Buick machine is a feature in itself. It is not possible to make it feed more or feed less and anyone that can fill a bottle full of water can fill the oil reservoir and the working of the machinero will take care of the rest of it. To handle this car is so mmple that a ten-year-old child can drive it. your high speed clutch comes into place, and there is no more to do—simdly sit and drive. The machine is simplicity itself. You stmply press a foot pedal and the car starts on the motion; then by reversing the lever on the side By pulling out the high speed clutch your car stops. renewal and is Old.
