Lameness
in Horses
Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse h not allowed to go lame. 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.

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 beneficial effect
of Vinol in cases of feeble old
people is simply remarkable.
We invite all old people, deli
cate children, weak, run-down
persons, convalescents, or those
suffering from chronic colds,
coughs or bronchitis in this vicin
ity to try Vinol on our offer to
return their money if it does no
good. Werrake this offer to
show our faith in Vinol. John

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.

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.
