Well -Known Advertiser.
That newspaper advertising ex
cels all other in c II ectiveness was
the declaration made by Thomas
Martindale, president of the Poor
Richard Club of Philadelphia and
himself aa extensive advertiser,
in an address made by him be
fore the Lebanon board of trade.
The occasion of Mr. Martin
dale's address was a reception
givea in honor of the Lebanon
board of trade at the close of
which he addressed the mem bers,
who include the leading business
men of that city. Mr. Martindale
advised the merchants present to
advertise regularly in their hcrme
newspapers.
"Make your advertisements
truthful and sincere," said Mr.
Martindale. "Get a reputation
for honest advertising."
"Don't expect patrons to rush
into your store in a mob following
one advertisement. Patrons must
be educated to your methods of
advertising The tendency of
the times is to have one price and
do honest business. You are be
hind the age, if you do not adver
tise. I don't see how any mer
chant can do a profitable business
if he doesn't advertise."

A Shippcnsburg man who has
benn using I'.iris gn;en to kill the
worms that hr.ve appeared on the
lioi'ds of cibbage in his garden,
wrote to Prof. II. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, asking whether
the poison will render the cab
bage unfit for use. The Profes
sor answered the letter as fol
lows: "It will not render cabbage un
fit for use, to apply Paris green
to it. You can use one half pound
of Paris green in filty gallons of
water sprayed on cabbage, and
it will kill the worms at.d not in
jure the cabbage for food. Ap
ply some soap with it to make it
stick. Also, you can use t vo
pounds of arsenate of lead in
place of the Paris green. This
will stick better, and I much pre
fer it.
"I have heard that from one-
half ounce to one ounce of alum,
dissolved in each gallon of water,
will destroy the cabbage worm.
I have not had opportunity to try
it in my experimental work, bat
hope to do so soon. I would re
commend that you try it and re
port to me results. I can assure
you that practically all truck
growers now use arsenical poison
on cabbage and are satisfied with
