What You
Pay For—
HINK of your printed matter from the standpoint
of what it does for you.
When you buy stationery or printed advertising, it is
not simply ink and paper that you pay for.
Ink and paper are only the conveyance for your ideas.
Ideas multiply in effectiveness when they are dressed up.
Shoddy stationery can’t bring prestige—nor shoddy ad-
vertising, results.
We help you to get what you pay for—
instead of merely ink and paper.

WEEKLY HEALTH TALK
“A man the other day was trying to
figure out his income tax while crossing
the street. He is now figuring on how
much his hospital and physician’s bills
will be—and considers himself lucky at
that. That he might have been killed he
quite well realizes. That he used the
wrong place to figure income he also
fully appreciates,” said Dr. Theodore
B. Appel, Secretary of Health, today.
“The point to this story lies in the
fact, that whether in the city or the
| country, it is very definitely one’s busi-
ness to watch one’s step when using a
highway for pedestrian purposes.
“The annual number of mature per-
sons who are injured or killed by being
struck by automobiles is extremely high.
And while carelessness on the part of
the operator of the machine in many
instances is a direct contributory cause,
it just as frequently happens that the
major blame can be placed upon the
thoughtlessness and indifference of the
victim.
“The world is a wonderful place in
which to live. And it is exceedingly
foolish therefore to be deprived of that
joy simply because one does not have
his mind on the business of the moment
—which, when applied to individuals
walking on street crossings, or using
highways to walk upon, involves the
necessity of complying with a few com-
mon sense rules. These are:
“l. Do not romance.
“2. Do not jay-walk.
“3. Carefully obey traffic lights.
“4. Keep your eyes open for the on-
coming automobile.
“5. Realize the rights of a pedes-
trian, but in case of doubt give way to
the machine. You may be in the right.
But small comfort is to be derived
therefrom if one is in a hospital or in a
worse fix. .
“Health Departments can prevent the
spread of smallpox, typhoid fever and
other contagious ills. But the indivi-
dual alone can cut down the pedestrian
accident rate. Respect the damaging
power of the automobile!”
Some motorists drive as if they
were anxious to have their accident
quickly and have it over with.—

A RAINY NIGHT
The raindrops laughed merrily as
they fell on the pavements in the city
and danced down on top of every um-
brella they saw.
“We can do that,” they said.
are in the mood for raining.
“Yes, we feel like it, and the stars
don’t want to come out.
“They’ve gone on a visit to the
Moon tonight. The Moon is having a
birthday.”
“We don’t know how old he sald
he was,” one little raindrop added,
“but very, very, very tremendously
old.”
“Yes, my army of raindrops feel
like raining, and I feel like giving
them the chance,” said the King of
the Clouds.
“So they will do your bidding,” he
said, as he smiled at all the electric
lights of the city.
“That sounds very fine,
said the electric lights.
“What do you want to do in order
to have some fun?’ asked the rain
drops.
“We want to dance,” the electric
lights said. ~
“Oh, we Just long to dance,” said
one of the big electric light signs.
“We all love to dance in the rain.
We like to have the raindrops as our
partners.”
“Yes, little raindrops, keep on pat-
tering and falling to the earth, and
we will dance up and down, up and
down, up and down with glee,” said
another electric sign.
“It will look gay in the city to-
night,” said one of the street lights,
“even though it is raining.
“We will dance and the city will
seem so alive.”
And so the raindrops fell to the
pavements and the streets, and the
lights danced,in the rain.
The signs which were advertising
many wonderful things danced and
the street lights danced and the lights
on the motor cars danced, too.
Oh, what a time they all had! How
gay and bright and happy they were!
“Even though it’s a rainy night, we
are making it jolly,” the raindrops

said, “with the help of the electric
lights.”
“It was a fine idea of the electric
lights to want to dance in the rain,”
said the King of the Clouds.
“They appreciate wus,” said the
army of raindrops in chorus. And so
the rain kept coming down and the
dancing continued.
Such a very good time was had by
every dancing light and every rain-
drop that the King of the Clouds
said:
“Let us always have a dance in the
city when we come forth to have a
rainy evening.”
The raindrops agreed and the elec-
tric lights agreed, and so, ever since
then, in every city on a rainy night
the lights have danced when the rain
came down from the heavens. .
Sometimes the dancing is more ex-
citing one time than another.
But there is always dancing.
And no dance could be loveller,
gayer, brighter, or merrier. .
Jumping the Egg
Here is a clever little stunt, but it
requires an awful lot of practice and
lung power before it can be per-
formed properly. Place two ordinary
wine glasses side by side. Put a
hard-boiled egg in one of them. Then
blow sharply down the side of the
egg and it will jump into the other
glass. Try it
Smelly Goats
Little tomboy Sally had been beg-
ging for a billy goat and cart. Final-
ly, her mother said: “We could not
have one around. Goats are too
smelly !”
Sally replied indignantly: “Mom,
that’s just gossip! I smelt one today
and you'd be s'prised; it smelt
"licious !” }
Indignant Jimmy
Jimmy, aged three, had come down-
stairs in a new white sailor suit.
One of the guests, thinking to tease
him, said: “Oh, Jimmy, I see you have
on some new pajamas.”
Jimmy turned and looked at her in-
dignantly, saying: “This is the clothes
I go wheres in.”
