The secret of culture is to loam
that a few great points steadily re

these few alone are to be regard

courage to be what we are and
love erf what is simple and beauti

School Days Bring Many Problems
You owe it to your children to see that they are well dressed and
comfortable. How can it be done on the least money ? Stockings have
been the greatest trouble. You know the kind that look well until the
first recess. If your boy is the right kind of boy, he plays so fast he
forgets all about his stockings. To grow he must play that way. Give
him the kind of stockings that take care,of themselves?

SHOPPING AT HOME!
-
most deirer and progressive women have learned the im
mense advantage of carefully reading the advertisements,
rhose who are more doll of apprehension prefer to wanderarooa
in different stores hunting for the special bargains aodi
attractive articles,
The up-to-date woman of todaysits down and take* her
and reads the advertise nents carefully before she goes "shop
ping"
She has learned by expsrieace that the meefcaat win it up-to
date in his methods and has the moat desirable offerings, is the
one which makes his inftpence felt through his advertising.
If he did not do this he would not be an up-to-date merchant.
The back number merchant does not advertise.
Shopping at botae, looking through the ads before yon start oat,
saves time and annoyance and is sore to result in both economy
and sstisfaction.
It pays to read the advertisements.
