The Arabs who live along the Tigris In sumnmer are called "fish enters." They migrate to the hills in winter to escape the floods, but return to their bits of river lands In the spring. We saw scores of fami Ies standing walst deep in the river hauling out bony, wiggly fish as fast as they could bait their hooks with hits of dough. The children seem to live in a perpetual state of bathing. They have a strong aversion to clothes of any description aind ire less dirty 11an their parents beeause they have not lived as long.

When You Become a "Conscious" Reader of Advertising By J. R. IIA3ILXON Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia When you learn to read your advertising as you read yout news, the cost of everything you wear or use is going to be lowered for you. If you knew how much money it takes to soak an idea~ into your minid subconsciously you woul be ashamed of your mind. It actually takes as long as two years somietimes to get you to think and say a certain word. It.'s like tearhiing a baby to talk. Every known trick of psychology is brought to bear on you. Advertisers hav'e even b~eenl knowni to print their adlvert isemient uplside down, hop)ing, 1prhlaps, that if you had to stand on your head to r'eadl it you might rememtber what they say. And what you so often refuse to receive with your will the camera of your eye recordls in sp)ite of you. So that 96% of what you buy you buy through advert ising whether you know it or not. And yet, in the face of all this, the advertising method of selling things is twenty times cheaper than any other method known. Think how much cheaper still it would be if you would only, read your advertising consciously instead of buying through ib in spite of yourself. The merchant who doesn't advertise hasn't even a chance with the one who does. Your eye is taking photographs every time you turn these' pages. You couldln't get away from these advertisements if you tried. Even the man who claims not to see them at all is record-! ing them all the time. Every merchant who appears here is tellIing you is story every day whet her you know it or niot. All we are trying to (10 is to make you conscious readers of adlvertisinlg insteadI of sub1corl5ciouls reaiders. TIhis is beinig (done equally for' your benef'it anid for ours. Everv i ime v'oi look for thle ad (vert iin ini this paperinta of muakintg iit look tor' you y ou bring dlowli your' cost of living, you increase the buying power of your money and you get a better qullity for the price. This is t rue hiecause the men who ad ver'tise are al1ways the best merchant s. Thley are the ones wh'lo last. The others flicker up for a little while and then go out. That's the proof. On the other hanmd, every time we get a hiund redi morte of our readlers to turn each (lay with a conscious minid to the adver tising news as well as to the general news, we make this a better medium for our advertisers. We give them more for t heir money because we give them your will. And before we are through every subscriber we have will be reading his advertising consciously day by day-never fear. For this Is another psychological law.. (Copyrighted.)
