The marvelous smelling pow- ir of the Purple Emperor, the Zebra Swallowtail, the Paint ed Lady and other specie* is so acute and operates at such long range that It Is almost Inconceivable to the average person considering the min uteness of the butterfly's olfac tory apparatus. In a hook written hy Dr. Kurt Floerlcke, one of Germany's best known naturalists, the writings of the French entomologist Fabre are quote'd at length. Prof. Fabre citing new French authorities to pro^e that the butterfly's sense of smell Is astounding.

RANKERS say that saving money is largely a matter of habit— of systematically putting away something every pay day—of consistently thinking in terms of thrift. The bankers are right But remember that thrift embraces buying as well as saving. It is “penny wise and pound foolish” to save by scrimping and yet spend money needlessly in making. your every-day purchases. . * * Has it ever occurred to you that every day you can save some thing simply by reading the advertisements in this paper? Do you realize that the advertisements tell you just where and when to buy to advantage—that they tell you how to avoid regrettable expenditures. Thrifty folks realize that advertising has reduced the selling costs of thousands of factories and stores. Many of the things that today count as necessities or simple luxuries could not be sold at anything like their present prices had not advertising created a broad market for them. It has made millions of sales at small profit where otherwise there would be thousands of sales at large profit per sale. So, you owe a great deal to advertising. And you owe it to yourself to read advertising.
