P'smurreM Overruled.
The time of the district court has
been occupied fo rthe last two or three
days in having argument in demurrer
in the cases in which certain county
officials are charged with receiving
more than legal fees and salaries.
The demurrers have thus far been
over ruled by the court and it looks
like the county officials thus charged
would have to go to trial.

"Tell you what we'll do" said his

bed. That will teach Master Bonnie

Nobody would pick out Lynn Mass
a city with a population less than
100000 -as having the largest grocery
and provision store under one owner
ship In the United States but It is
fact nevertheless.
The owner of this great establish
merit admits frankly that one of the
reasons why his grocery and pro
vision store Is ho large and successful
is because of the newspaper advertis
Ing that he was persuaded to do by
the owner of the Lynn Item.
The owner of the store always be
lieved in advertising but at the start
he used rather Indifferent copy. The
space was large enough for he used
six Inches single column but it was
the ordinary kind of advertising that
did not say very much except quote
prices and did not Interest the read-
ers. The publisher counseled the owner
to use enough spuee to tell the people
of Lynn and vicinity all about the
store and Its facilities for serving
them well. This was done.
One advertisement for instance
would refer to their cracker depart
m en t. which by itself Is as lltrge as
many entire grocery stores. In this
department every known cracker of
merit can be found. They could tell
and did tell a very Interesting story
about this department and that is the
way they did with all the other de
partition's of the store.
After a while the owner got Into the

anniversary date lie used a full page
an unusual thing for a country store
to do.
The success of that advertisement
wag instantaneous The crowd that
responded was so great that the side
walks were blockaded and extra po
lice were called to take care of the
people. They have been users of
newspaper space ever since.
Orocerv advertising like every oth
er kind creates more interest If a
story Is told and not too much stress
laid upon a mere price list of articles
The owner of this particular store
makes his advertising of general in
terest and all of the people of Lynn
and vicinity respond to it generously
with the result that the business Is
very successful.
FADS IN JEWELRY FOR 1912
This to Be a Diamond Year The Lady
and the Golden Snake Create
Sensation In England.
T.nndon Jewelers are prophesying
tiat thla la to be a diamond year.
Last year the pearl was favorite orna
ment and It graced tiaras nung in
ropes on white necks and was twisieu
through curls.
Now the diamond has come bacn
Into favor sometimes wltu an accom-
paniment of ruble and emeralds
sometimes alone In Its white glory.
Open-work medallions blazing with
diamonds rings set with single or
Jouble square slab diamonds crowns
tiaras and diadems of these gems re-
place the softer pearl ornaments and
at the first court there is to be such
i blaze of diamonds as has not been
seen for some time.
One reason for the exit of the pearl
la that with the glittering sequlnned
dresses now worn the diamond is
more fitting and brilliant Jewel i
Mrs. Paris Singer has been a fre-
quent visitor at the London opera j
house recently and she has always ;
attracted attention because of a some-
what unusual ornament which unfail-
ingly forms part of her toilette. It Is
a leweled aeroent of heavy dull gold
with great glittering emeralds for
eyes and a ridge of diamonas ana
rubles down Its scaly back.
It can be worn as a necklace or an
armlet. Sometimes Mrs. Singer ap-
pears with the golden snake coiled
round her throat and lets its flat
head hang down over her shoulder.
Again she twists It about her arm bo
that the head Is on the back of her
hand and the thin diamond studded
tall is up above her elbow.
English women who are jewel mad
at trie present time have been quick
to notice this novelty and several
Jewelers have had orders for the man
ufacture of various kinds of gem stud
ded snakes.
Pains All Over!

if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over and suffered with an abscess. Three phy-
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui I am m
better health than ever before and that means much to me
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles of
different kinds. What other treatments I tried helped me
for a few days only."
CARDU I Woman'sTonic
Don't wait until you are taken down sick before tak-
ing care of yourself. The small aches and pains and other
symptoms of womanly weakness and disease always mean
worse to follow unless given quick treatment.
You would always keep Cardui handy if you knew
what quick and permanent relief it gives where weakness
and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard
to bear. Cardui has helped over a million women. Try it

Word concerning a new idea In ad

The scheme Is to teach parrots to as-
sist In I lie extension of commerce by
tilting upon perches and croaking:
rv Crushem's Corsets" or "Say
Wattles" or "Eureka Razor" as the
ase may be. The training of the par
rots according to the promoters or
the new scheme. Is to be a simple
mailer. A phonograph is to be placed
In a room fitted UP for the purpose

hour after hour the cry that the par-
rots are to repeat. The birds mean
whilo will bo established on conven-
ient perches where they may hear the
two or three words that are to be
used In pushing the commodity of the
advertiser and the solemn business
will proceed until the parrots take up
the cry of the phonograph.
it has been established that a parrot
once It lias learned to say a certain
thing will repeat that thing a thousand
times a day for a hundred years bar
bie accidents or plots and the facts Is
emphasized by the projectors of the
new method of advertising. They ex-
pect shortly to have their parrots on
duty in all the big shops and In every
public place so that the wares they
ire employed to praise may be contin-
uously called to the attention of the
people.
There Is a well-grounded belief that
It pays to advertise but It does not
pav to annoy the public. We reserve
the right to be skeptical says the Chi-
cago Record-Herald and venture to
axpres the hope that some friend of
'lumanily will at once get busy upoJ
the problem of discovering a way it'
which parrots may be put to death
inickly. surreptitiously and with as
Ittle annoyance to the birds as possible.
The Big Favorite.
"No advertiser has a right to force
his advertising matter upon persons
bo do not wish to see It such as In
billboard advertising" declared Na
ihanlel B. Fowler Jr.. In an address
brfore the Get Together club of the
Jordan Marsh company of Roston.
'dvertlsing should In my opinion
be done entirely through the great
national medium of the newspapers
and periodicals which are seen only
l those who buy and wish to read
them. From my 25 years of expert
-nee In the advertising business 1 can
poaltlvely say that 95 per cent of the
be.t advertisers In this coumry use

SAYS YOUTH SHOULD DANCE
Author in Minneapolis Assert There
Is Much Good In Bringing
Young Together.
Minneapolis Minn. Dancing wai
called a natural . d proper outlet lor
the play impulse by Dr. Woods Hutch-
lnson of New York physician and au-
thor in an address here before the
members of the Minneapolis Civic
and Commerce association.
"If the opportunity for young peo-
ple to dance is not properly afforded
under proper management" he said
"tho city should concern itself with
such provision. The dance hall prob-
lem may be helped greatly by using
the public school houses lor dances
under proper supervision. Young
men and women should have greater
opportunity to mingle among whole-
some surroundings and there is much
good In any plan that will bring them
together more frequently. Much ot
the evil that besets the young in the
cities could be avoided In this way."
