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.

Demand * on 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 cisco and at that they take prece dence over the finest orang es. raisins, apricots, etc., for the grow 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 her nnd readies its peak about the 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 dines for her.’’—London Answers. 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 In the formation of soli, but the earthworms are the most Impor tant.—Pathfinder Magazine.

This question is stirring Smith College, one of the largest h. girls’ finishing schools in the country, where physicians have ordered vaccinations for everybody follow ing the discovery that a recent visitor had contracted smallpox.

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.)
