Tree advertising, in the generally ac cepted sense of that term, says the Columbus Citizen, is not the most de sirable kind; but it is nevertheless a fact that the great bulk of paid news puper advertising costs the advertiser nothing. That is to suy. it Indirectly returns to him not only the amount In vested, but u pro'.lt in which the whole community shares. The bulk of newspaper advertising is placed by merchants. The money It costs Is paid almost wholly In salaries and Incidentals to Individual In the community In which the advertiser re sides, so that his return is not wholly from the general trade he seeks, but also the Injection of this amount of money Into the trade of his community, with the result of enlarging it, perpet uating it and multiplying its resources in all forms of industry. The merchant feels the pulse of pros perous or adverse conditions more del icately than almost any other member of the community. Newspapers pay by far the larger portion of expenses in building up the community. Their investment Is not nearly as great In machinery, stock and other forms of tangible property as in brains and brawn. That Is the reason why money spent with them by local merchants bring? two-fold returns in the present and the future.

I IN mm r Itrantjr Hint t ar Women. Kvery woman knows what sleep will 3o toward restoring the looks. But the woman who Is a part of the social whirl during the guy months works such hnvoe with her nerves that she has to b-arn to rest; she has to begin all over 'iiguln at the foot of the lad der that leads to beauty. l!est Is imperative, regular habits are essential, proper food Is necessary. The most difficult task lu the repair- i lug process Is to k-aru to rc9t. A tlred-ojt Woman is not a womnn , In a normal sfute. She is uerve-sJek, nnd repose Is the one achievement I quite beyond her power to acquire, i I Int repose you must have, if you would replace your wan, jad-d look oy irc'nncss ami beauty. The physical decadence that follows a perversion of all nature's laws is ac companied by a condition of nervous excitement, nerve exhaustion, that must be cured before the subject need expect Improved looks. Don't -make the mistake of taking medicine for rrazr.led nerves. A nor ( rotic or a stimulant will only produce the Imitation of the real condition that you must earn by the exercise of self control and a perseverance in the laws ttmt govern health and good looks. Kvery womun needs- an abundance of sleep-eight or nine hours nt the least. To get into a normal condition after weeks and months of defying physical luws requires the exercise of will puw. er, but it cun be done. If you are able to sleep-1 am now speaking to the army of society martyrs who wish to Join the repair class treat yourself to Just us much natural slumber as you can get. Never mind m first how or wbeu you take a nup. Exhausted na ture recuperates very rapidly during normal sleep. The rest cure is in order for the first week without reservation. Sleep will smooth out tin- wrinkles in many u tired fuce. bring back roses to the cheeks and brightness to the eyes. If you cunuat sleep, you must court the drowsy god by long hours spent out of doors, walking, driving, riding. Next to rest lu importance in - the beauty restoration treatment is deep breathing. Very few women breathe correctly, and rarely, If ever, does a tired wo man fill her lungs to the brim with life-bringing oxygen. To breathe correctly Is to send the blood bounding through the veins, and once the blood circulates freely, health Is established. Correct breath- , lug has been so often described In this I page that it is only necessary t refer i to It. Don't forget that deep, full breath ing is essential to the development of the greatest beauty your skin may attain-. Deep breathing not only produces beauty but health, and by the sim ple practice of correctly inhaling and exhaling, always through tbe nostrils, pure oxygen many diseases are abso lutely cured. St. Loul Star. XioiiI ThiuK In Fan. The feather fan is something we have all seen and beard about. But the bird feather fan is a new and beautiful relation of the old style kind. which has Just made it bow to tbe world of fashion. Jtiese bird feather fans are of a soft and artistic beauty that defies description. They are generally mounted on tortoise-shell sticks and are mude lu odd and Irregular shapes, some like the outspread whig of a bird, some heart shaped and some like an Inverted serrated leaf. one pluln, but perfect little fan, was formed entirely of the iridescent neck feathers of a dove, in shades ranging all through tbe new petunia colors to the sharpest metallic blues, which are almost green. These words are but harsh aud ineffective syllables with which to convey the idea of tim soft nnd lustrous and melting hues which combined to make this fan a perfect gem of its kind. Seen lu one light, the fan was magenta, pink aud purple. Seen lu another, it was light blue, dark blue aud purple. A heart shaped fan was composed of the brilliant bronze-green feathers of the peacock. This had a line of white; t'.'.e edge was finished with brown. These fans are ull of the fold, lug variety. The partridge fan wan all tones of brown, from the faintest ashen hue to the tawuy russet. On one side was mounted lu delicate perfection the head of a partridge. When the fan was closed the head rested Upon tbe soft cluster of feathers. The pheasant fan was a very effec tive one In browu, with tbe tiny white speckled feathers (ticking It here and there. A line of the copper-colored large feathers was along the edge, with deep brown and white to Unlsh it. These bird feather fans promise to be Immensely popular. They are en tirely new and most artistically made nnd in a wide range of colore and de gn, so that every woman may pos one lu harmony with her gown.

New Haven Register. Raw Men and Women Lot. When a womun's love is strong it takes possession of ber to the exclu sion of pretty nearly everything else. When a mun'e love is strong It does the same, and. as the records of every day crimes so to prove, with an even greater intensity; but a munjias more self-control, more dissimulation,'' more cunning, which all go to screen his real self from the eyes of his fellows. He may not, I grant you, be ready to give up his horses, his trade, his books, his sports, or unless, indeed, he be. very young and very lovesick his din-m-r, but he, often enough, stakes his all upon one throw, and, if uulucky, is ready to give up far more than all these put together via., bis life it self. U-re and there a woman puts an end to her existence through hopelessness, grief, and despair; here and there she droops and fades, withering away si lently because she has lost her chief hold on life; here aud there she sinks Into a heart-broken melancholy or gen tle passivity; but how rarely do we find, even In the veriest abandonment of love aud passion, that a woman will be driven thereby to commit a crime? A man, driven to desperation by a wo man's perfidy or fickleness, kills her, or his rival or himself. A woman In like case may suffer a thouaaud times as much, but she will never barm the one she loves, or has loved, or her suc cessor. She will make no tragedy hut her whole life 1 the tragedy. She will forgive because she Is a woman; but she will not forget because she Is a woman. Mirror-Farmer. " The ltevlval of Sachet liana. The old fashion of wearing sachet bags is being revived. The bags are now heart-shaped, and are suspended by the same shade of baby ribbon. Sometimes different colors are com bined to give the rainbow hues so much sought for. Larger sachet bags, oblong and heart shape, are suspend ed with good effect, and they exhale a delicate fragrance that Is refreshing. It Is quite the fad to attach these sachet bags to coat hangers in the same color with which they are cov ered. They are fastened at each end of the banger, and dangle at all surf of leugths.
