Kinds of Products
Advertising Can Sell
First, the product that offers some new and tetter
jvay of meeting human wants. For such a product
advertising offers the cheapest, quickest means of
finding these people who will appreciate the advant
ages the new product offers.
Second, the product with hidden values that escape
the consumer’s untrained eye. For such a product
advertising can educate the buyer until he becomes
a discriminating purchaser.
Third, the product which—in lucid moments—its
owner will admit is no better than others of its kind,
^or such a product advertising can create a personal
ity that will make it stand out from competing prod
ucts like the one lighted house in a row of dark ones.
H Which kind of product is yours? Have you
learned to use advertising to fit its needs?

Among the profitable crops grown
by Californians in the region of San
Francisco is a giant Mediterranean
species of thistle. Soil and climate
there seem to be exactly suited to
its needs, says the Pathfinder Maga
zine.
Attempts to grow it elsewhere
have invariably resulted in failure.
Like the thistles with which all are
familiar, it has formidable spines.
only they are longer and more cruel
than the average. It has n large
purple flower, so sweet scented that
bees find It irresistible. Rarely,
however, are the hulls allowed to de
velop into flowers, for the buds are
esteemed as a table delicacy, being
harvested and sold as "artichokes.”
A quarter apiece for the buds is
ndt an unusual price in San Fran

ers craftily time their development
so that they tuny be marketed just
at the psychological Is, moment, when so to
speak—that in midwinter,
there is little else of the same na
ture to compete with them. This is
done by cutting back the plants in
June, pruning them down to the
ground. Within a short time new
shoots appear. Then if plant food
and water ure supplied in sufficient
abundance the long sunshiny days
bring about ideal development.
The hud harvest begins in Octo

first of April.
Hard-Working Burglar
Forced to Draw Line
Bert met his old friend Bill the
Burglar and the two got chatting
about things in general.
"I hear you've left your wife,” re
marked Bert presently, Why did
you do that?”
“Because she was always wantin'
me to do somethin’,” snarled the
burglar moodily.
“What do you mean?” asked his
friend."
“No matter how busy or tired I
was, she was always naggln’ me to
do somethin’ for her. At last, one i
night, It was too much. *» f
“How was that?” said the other.
Interested.
“Well, I came in about three
o’clock in the morning,” explained
Bill, "all worn out from doing too
much work. I had opened two
strong boxes and finished up by
forcing a couple of safes, to say
nothing of a vault I cracked earlier
in the evening. An’ then, when I
got In, what do you suppose that
woman wanted me to do?”
"What? >»
“As I stand here. It’s true!”
growled BUI the Burglar, l< She
wanted me to open a box of sar

Earthworms Valuable
Earthworms play a very impor
tant part in the formation of soil.
Indeed Charles Darwin demonstrat
ed that they are of incalculable
value to agriculture. Angleworms
feed on vegetable matter exclusive
ly and in burrowing they take more
or less earth into the alimentary
canal where It is mixed with the
vegetable food of the worm. Nearly
all of this pusses out with the cast
ings which are always voided on the
surface. Thus the worms are con
tinually engaged in spreading a
“natural compost” over the land.
The process Is called the formation
of vegetable mold which Is fertile
both because of Its composition and
because the worms keep It stirred
up and well aerated. Of course
many other creatures are beneficial

Wherfe to be vaccinated?
This question is stirring Smith
College, one of the largest h. girls’
finishing schools in the country,

vaccinations for everybody follow

visitor had contracted smallpox.
The girls say a vaccination

worn and looks almost as bad else
where when one dons a one-piece
bathing suit.
There is believed to be no small
pox in the college, but 2,000 girl
students must each decide for her

where to put that vaccination

J
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea
Sulphur.
Hair that loses its color and lus
tre, or when it fades, turns gray,
dull and lifelesl, is caused by a
lack of sulphur in the hair. Our
grandmother made up a mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beau
tiful dark shade of hair which is
so attractive, use only this old
time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition
of other ingredients by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, which darkens the hair
so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been
applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through you hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disap
pears; but what delights the la
dies with Wyeth's 9age and Sul
phur Compound is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair af
ter a few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of
abundance.—(adv.)
