SUCCESS
It Costs Money to Buy Advertising
Space in the Newspapers, and Not
Infrequently I Meet a Merchant Who
Sees Nothing But the Cost Side.
So He Does Not Advertise!
Usually such a man believes in being his own
janitor, errand boy, clerk and general manager. He
lives in terror of a payroll, and the expense of ex
pansion improvements fairly pulls him.
A man of that type is just as big today as he
will be twenty years from now, if providence
grants him life and unlimited prosperity. He is
carrying a portion of the same stock he had five
or ten years ago, and unless he happens to have a
call for those articles he will hold them on his
shelves indefinitely. He will tell you ina confiden
tial way that it might be alright for merchants in
other lines to advertise and to make special offer
ings, but his line is “different you know.”
The man with a wide calibre sees that such ex
penses as are incidental to an increased volume of
business, may be the very bnst investment that he
can make. He is whiling to pay clerks good wages;
to double his stock if necessary, and to pay out
money to maintain an attractive looking store if. at
the end of the month, he is able to show a net profit
above the net profit of the One-Man-Store. He is
the type that sees a relationship between his busi
ness and every other successful enterprise, and he
reasons that selling methods successfully used by
his fellow T merchants, even though the latter be in
a totally different line, may be used with profit to
himself.
Such a man can understand the reason for and
the necessity of advertising. He knows that the
money he invests in a busiuess message in the

today will go out in the highways and fill his store
with buyers tomorrow 7 . Os course it costs him
money to advertise, so it does to hire clerks, to keep
a delivery service and to rent a building in a choice
location.
But these things are all a part of his plans of
doing business, and if he should falter in doing any
of them because it costs money he would not be
the man he is—he would be running a

YOUR fiHAV HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
II You Use a Harmless Rem
edy Made Prom Sage
A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discosery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. Aside from
the good impression a youthful ap
pearance makes on others, simply
knowing that you are "looking fit”
gives one courage to undertake and
accomplish things. So why suffer the
handicap of looking old on account of
gray hairs, when a simple remedy will
give your hair youthful and color and
beauty ina few day's time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used a “Sage Tea” for keeping their
.mir dark, soft and luxurant. In
vVyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy we have an ideal preparation of
Sage, combined with Sulphur and oth
er valuable remedies for dandruff,
itching scalp and thin, weak hair that
is split at the ends or constantly com
ing out. A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
color, and in a short time it will re
move every trace of dandruff and
greatly improve the growth and ap
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
drugist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days’
treatment. All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will be re
funded if the remedy is not exactly as
represented. Special agents, Murray
& Hooks Pharmacy.

EFFORT TO SAVE TALLULAH
WILL HE CONTINUER
. Though It Seems the Stale Has No
Rights.
Atlanta, June 11.—The failure of
Gov. Brown and Attorney General Fel
der to find any ground upon which the
j state could bring suit for the recovery
of Tallulah Falls has brought disap
pointment to may who love the beau
tiful scenery of the Tallulah section
and to whom the destruction of that
scenery is a source of deepest regret.
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet of Gaines
ville, widow of the late Gen. Long
street, and who, at the head of the
Tallulah Falls Conservation Associa
tion, has conducted a noble fight for
the preservation of the falls, declares
in spite of the Governor’s action, she
will not give up the fight as long as
she lives.
It is difficult to see, however, what
she can do. It has been decided defi
nitely that the state will not bring
suit, and it is said under the law a
private citizen cannot sue, unless it
should be in the name of the tsate and
by the state’s permission. There is no
indication that this permission will b-->
given.
You may have noticed that creditors

debtors.

The Old Method of Choosing
Husbands and Wives Unscientific
Boston, Mass., June 11.—Dr. Sarah
N. Merrick, a prominent woman phy
sician of Boston, says the old method
of choosing a husband or wife because
the contracting parties think thev
love each other, has been discovered
as the cause of unhappy marriages.
It seems there is no science in it
and to marry happily one must choose
one’s mate scientifically. She sug
gests that a marriage aid bureau b“
established at Washington to be con
ducted by the government with coun
sellors in different cities in help men
and women in making scientific mar
riages.
“Why people are unhappily married
is the question that thousands are
trying to solve,” says Dr. Merrick. The
trouble is that the two parties do not
use science. By science I mean they
do not compare their characters. By
having counsellors in Boston and
other cities mistakes could be pre
vented. To begin with there are many
young woman who, on pereceiving that
i ceitain young man is paying them
attention which is bound to result in
a proposal would like to procure the,
unbiased advice of a counsellor. What
should she do? She would simply go
to the local counsellor and in a short
time he would have the whole history,
of her case, says Dr. Merrick. *

PEANUT NOT A CONFEC
TION.
“Peanuts eaten raw,” sa/s I
the editor of Good Health, “are j
not particularly objectionable I
it relished, ./hen peanuts are j
roasted they are more or less |
burned. The large amount of I
fat which they contain is itself |
decomposed, and irritating acids j
are produced. Roasted peanuts J
are very difficult of digestion.” '
Several years ago the writer I
made extensive experiments j
with peanuts, showing that the I
practice of roasting them is de- i
cidedly injurious, although oth- |
er authorities then disagreed I
with the findings; and in view I
of the fact that the peanut may |
be substituted for meat and is j
the richest of all foods, as I
Shown by the bulletin issued by |
the department, of agriculture. I
it is important that this should I
be understood by people who I
are in the habit of looking upon I
the peanut more as a confec- I
tion than as a substantial food. I
