Co-operation In Observance of Cleanup Day Brings Business, Thousands of business fallures are recorded annually. Small dealers make up the largest pgrt of these. In al- most every community one or more go on the list. Sometimes they have in- vested their last cent.in an undertak- ing, with nothing in reserve for an emergency. They soon find themselves hopelessly involved, with debts con- stantly creeping up around them, untill the pressure of creditors is so great that they can no longer sustain it, and bankruptey is the result. The wags of thoughtlessness is fail- ure. Go into business with your eyes fully open and kuow what you are doing. If you have $500 to $1,000 or more to Invest in a local enterprise keep out at least 25 per cent as a re- serve fund. This will help to tide you over any difficulties which may arise. When you start in a small way and overburden yourself by accepting too great a credit from some wholesaler on the capital invested you at once invite difficulties. Unless you have a remark- able run of business when you first open up your heavy obligation to the wholesaler will come due and you will find yourself entangled. At once you will try to borraw money to protect yourself, but this is hard to get If you are indebted to the whole- saler for the amount of all the goods in your store. 4 One of the chief causes of failure is the lack of ideas by which to make your business attractive to customers. ‘Advertising in the right way and at the right time is the best means of stirring up trade. Several years ago a man who had learned the grocery business in a large city went back to his home town and started in a small way. He was a willing, hard worker, but through lack of ingenuity and Initiative he had to close his place, losing the money he had invested, Two years ago, with a resourceful silent partner, he again went into busi- ness in the same town. This time, with the assistance of his partuer, the business was given life and made to live and nul. The partner at once inserted an udvertisement in the local paper which read: “Our homemade ples are good enough for Mayor John. Aren’t they good enough for you?” The personality entered into in this ad- vertisement at once focused attention to it. The mayor was running for re- election at the time, and the advertise- ment helped Lim also. This was only the starter. Others even more original were brought be- fore the people through the medium of the local paper and at once caught and held the attention of all. Day after day new features were tried. Their methods teemed with life. They show- ed clear mental vision and an insight into huwman nature. The advertise- ments offered the things that people needed. Last year the town had a cleanup week. The new store at once adver- tised brooms and paint and other nec- essary commodities at reduced prices. Recently it started on its own account a town beautiful campaign, adding to its stock many things that could be used in this connection, thus creating a bigger field for development, The returns on the original invest- ment have enabled the partuers to open two other stores in nearby towns, where the same plans for getting busi- ness are being successfully used. MAPLE TREES HIS MONUMENT Pennsylvania Man Beautified Streets of Espy Fifty Years Ago. Fifty years ago in Espy, Pa., M. C. McCollum planted many maple trees on the streets. He said that these trees ‘would ‘always be a ‘monument honor- ing his memory. During these years Mr. McCollumr has. taken great inter- est In the growth and development of his trees. This is a type of patriotism worth far more than that aroused by war’s ‘alarms. because it is: constructive and per- manent and bears jon home life. In- deed, men reared in such surroundings will be better citizens and, if need be, befter soldiers, because their. homes are more-than walls of brick or wood. Just as Mr. McCollum has transformed Espy from a village of houses to a village of homes, so countless other-| villages'and towns may be transform- ed,; It needs only the awakening .of a genuine;, peaceful patriotism to- make oneself a public benefactor in -this kind of way. Such a movement will surely keep one's memory green better than “storied urn or uhimuted bust.” It makes for better living | GCOW POX. Treatment in Light Cases Usually Unnecessary. 5 Cow pox is distinctly infectious. It appears on the teats or sometimes on the udder, and is most commonly car- ried from one cow to another by the milker’s hands. Infected cows should always be milked last and the milk- er's hands thoroue washed - with soap and warm water, and then dis- infected. After infection there is a varidble interval of from twn to perhaps seven days before any symptoms appear, then there is heat, tenderness, with a trifiing disturbance of the general health and decrease in the quantity and quality of milk. The affected teats become a little swollen and ten- der, particularly near the top. Small pimples appear, varying in size up to that of a garden pea. The color varies considerably with the color and con- dition of the skin—bluish white, red- dish, or even dull cream color being common. The small swellings dip somewhat in the center. They ma- ture about the tenth day. The con- tents of the pimple or visicle gradu- ally become thicker and the little lump dries up into a dark crust which falls off in four or five days and leaves a little scar. Most cases of cow pox recover promptly in about twenty days.. | Treatment in mild cases is usually unnecessary. In other cases it may be advisable to apply carbolized vas- eline to the sores twice a day. Nev- er use a milk tube if it can be avoid- ed.—M. H. Reynolds, Veterinarian, University Farm, St. Paul. i Eemas Baas aa ea sada Take Plenty of Time to Eat. There is a saying that “rapid eat- ing is slow suicide.” If you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from in- | digestion or constipation, which will} result eventually in serious illness unless corrected. Digestion begins in the mouth. Food should be thorough- ly masticated and insalivated. Then when you have a fullness of the stom-| ach or feel dull and stupid after eat- ing, take one of Chamberlain’s Tab- lets. Many severe cases of stomach trouble and constipation have been cured by the use of these tablets. They are easy to take and most agree-. able in effect.

Copyright, 1913, by The Associated Newspaper Sehool} Inc. The commandant: climbed flercely up the stair, stepped out upon the platform of the tower that overlooked the wall, and gazed intently to-the|, north. He listened, too; but for a mo-| ment or two his own heartbeats and the sound of his breathing were all that he could hear. Then there grew. upon his sense the sound of a low, sullen roar. It rose and fell; but each succeeding climax was louder than the one before it. The governor turned with a short shrug of his shoulders and quickly went down the stone steps. There was a command, the ringing of muskets on the flags, the tramping of feet, and the garri- son was ready for. the siege. The stronghold in which these events took place had been begun by King Charles I.. in 1370, at one of Lhe‘ fortress to guard the river approach. Later it had been converted into a prison, and history knows no more terrible record than that of the Bas- tille, the “fort of the gate.” A wall surrounded it, and outside of this ran a moat, wide and deep. Inside rose eight towers and containing dark and horrible dungeons without light, slimy with mold, and alive with rats. Countless thousands of prisoners died Petty spite and psrsonal quarrels were settled by court favorites ob- taining an.order to. imprison the un- fortunate victims here; and few were 'those who ever again saw the sun- lght. ' Thus the Bastile -became - the terror of the people of ‘France. On this fair,morning in July, 1789, with every sort of weapon they marched ‘upon ‘the:impregnable prison: Some of the soldiers, sick at seeing their countrymen murdered, . called upon the’ governor to surrender. The was caught ni time by the: soldiers, and with a musket at his head ord- ered the drawbridge lowered. Then was let loose the hatred that had been growing in the ‘beople’s hearts for centuries. The garrison was slaughtered and the prisoners freed. But nothing would do-less than the destruction of the place itself, and for a whole year an army of men and wo- men and children toiled upon the shrinking walls of this symbol of de- spotic Power, . It was leveled to the ground; and now only a line of white stones in the pavement shows where it stood. This open space is called the Place de la Bastille. In its center is a fine shaft 154 feet high, the “Column ‘of July”, built to com- wemorate- the heroes of the Revolu- tion 'of '1830. The remains of those who fell'in this, and also the revolu- tion of 1848, are contained in an im- mense sarcophagus within its baes.
