Keep Sloan’s Liniment on hand and apply at the first signs of stiffness. It’s wonderfully penetrating—goes right to the spot—relieves the soreness— limbers up the joints and makes the muscles clastic and pliant. A Sloan’s Liniment will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swol len joints, and is a sure and speedy remedy for fistula, sweeney, founder and thrush. Price, 50c. and £1.00.

THE IDEAL HOME The most important gift 1 could bestow upon the country, had I the power, would be an ideal American home. It would be the home of peace and harmony, says the Right Rev. Samuel Tallows in a I symposium. “If I were a National Santa Claus,” in the ! December Dklineatok. I he husband would never play a part ot a tyrant, nor the wife the part of a scold. The household quiver would he full of happy children who would ever see in the companionable, provident father and the wise and loving mother the perfec tion of marital love. The beuaty of holiness would fill the domestic sanctuary. The in cense of prayer and praise would daily ascend to heaven from the family altar. Love as law and law as 1 ',ve would bind every member to all the duties of life. It would be a home of plen ty. No wolf of poverty would ever look in at the door. The husband, the houseband would earn an ample income by hon est effort. The wife, the dis tributor, would make all the household expenditures on a just and yet generous basis. Children would meet no need to go out prematurely to toil for the common subsistance, and miss all the play and sport to which early youth is enti tled. Thus love conjugal, love filial, love fraternal, united with neighbor loves and civic, sanctified and gloified by the love of God, would give a sheaf ot graces and virtues be fore which all other sheaves known to man would bow. If this gift were bestowed and realized it can easily be seen how wide-spread the beneficial effects would be. The realization of such a home would mean the solution of the labor problem. No un necessary burden would be { )laced by capital upon the aborer’s shoulders, whatever the kind of service required It would mean “live and let live” Mammon would not trample manhood beneath its feet. Such a home would send children to school with every fundamental law of de ference to authority ingrained in tneir natures. In society these well taught youths would go, and obedi ence to law would be as natur al as the inbreathing of the vitalair. And with this/ gift the foul fiend of divorce would cease to blast with the breath of the bottomless pit the fa’restflow- ers of the home paradise. • EIGHTY YEARS OLD. JOSEPH BAN|(S0N, A PROMINENT INSURANCE MAN AND MUCH ESTEEMED CITIZEMF BETH ANY, ILL, STRONGLY RECOM MENDS.' 1 am past eighty years of age and for some time I had been losing stiength and eufFering; from a chronic cold and lung trouble, nnti) 1 was seriously ill and could not go out of doors. My son sent me some Vinol. I commenced ?o take it and it lias •imply worked wonders for me. I feel better and stronger than 1 have for years, and my cough is all gone. There is no other med icine equal to Vinol to build up health and strength for elderly people.” Joseph Bankson, Beth any, 111. This is because Vinol is the best cod liver and iron toric in the world. It creates a hearty appetite, strengthens the digest ive organs, makes rich, red blood and replaces weakness with strength.

THE FAMILY MEAL At a temperance meeting Irv ing Grinnell, treasurer of the Ohurch Temperance society of New York, told a dramatic story : “A woman entered a bar room,” he said, ( and advanced quietly <0 her husband, who sat drinking with three other men. “She placed a covered dish on the table and said: “ ‘Thinkin’ ye’d too busy to come home to sapper, Jack, I’ve fetched it to you here.’ “And she departed. „ “The man laughed awkwardly. He invited his friends to share the meal with him. Then he re moved the cover from the dish. “The di»h waa empty. It contained only a slip of paper that said: , “ ‘I hope you will enjoy your supper. It is the t same your wife and children have at home.’ ” c Now lei the tariff tinkerers favor at least one class of con • sumers—a universal class—and give the country a free table. It is not too much to say that on the majority of American tables, butter is saen three times a day . The price is rapidly advancing . It is in the hands of the trust. It is known that there are ten million pounds more butter in storage now than there was at this time last year, but notwith standing this fact, the trust is clamorously assenting that the trice is justified by the drought last summer, which prevented the production of the usual amount. Let ns have free butter from Canada, Denmark and Hol land. It will not affect the interest of the American farmer but it will break up the trust . A clever author says that thei e are three kinds of men in the world—“The wills, the font’s and the cant’s. ” The first effect everything, the next oppose everything and the last fail in everything. “1 will” builds oar railroads and steamships; “1 won’t” don’t believs in expert ments and nonsense; while “I can’t” grows weeds for wheat and commonly ends his days in a ooart of bankruptcy. 'avstb tKs mti la* ABOUT ADVERTISING—XO. 3 How to Write Retail Advertising Copy By HerBert Kaufman. A skilled layer of mosaics works with small fragments of stone—they fit into more places than the larger chunks. 9 The skilled advertiser works with small words — they fit into more minds than big phrases. 1 he simpler the language the greater cer tainty that it will be understood by the least intelligent reader. The construction engineer plans his road bed where there is a minimum of grade—he works along the lines of least resistance. The advertisement which runs into moun tainous style is badly surveyed—all minds are not built for high level thinking. Advertising must be simple.' When it is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression it looks as much out of place as a ball dress at the breakfast table! The buying public is only interested in facts. People read advert;jements to find out what you have to sell. The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit —blank talk, however clever, is only wasted space. You force your salesmen to keep to solid facts—you don’t allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance in personal salesmanship. Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear explanations—write copy as you talk. Only be more brief. Publicity is costlier than conversation—ranging in price downward from $6.00 a line, talk is not cheap but the most expensive commodity in the world. Sketch in your ad to the stenographer. Then you will be so busy “saying it M that you will not have time to bother about the gew gaws of writing Afterwards take the type written manuscript and cut out every word and every line that can be erased without omit ting an important detail. What remains in the end is all that really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and simplicity. “Savon Francais” may look smarter, but more people will understand “French Soap.” Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation of gravitation covers six pages, but the schoolboy’s terse and homely “What goes upjriust come down” clinches the whole thing in six words. i (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company.
