Shaw's Auto aoivago Part galngly, 923.-931 Duflerin St'„ Toronto, •Ont, I Profit by Parcel Post, After four years of selling direct to consumers by mail, I have learned that the parcel -post system is one of the biggest boons that has ever cone to country people, providing they use it intelligently. I have also diseover- ed that advertising pays big profits, as I have used it extensively during the past few years. I began selling by mail on a small 'scale at first, because I was a little dubious of its feasibility. But after any doubts were dispelled, I gradually added to my line of mail products. The mail plan of shipping. saves me much expense in marketing; besides,' I get better prices for my goods by. this method. If I sold my products' to retailers I could not expect so much as consumers are willing to pay. My plan also saves'eensumers some money, as I can afford to eeil for a little less than retailers ask for the same preclucte. In addatio:z to the money saving, consumers have the ad- vantage of getting strictly fresh' goods that have not laid around the stole a few days before they are sold.i Everything that'can be •shipped by parcel -post I sell in this way. 'I get nay customers through edvertising. During the spring enol summer, when vegetables are In season, I ruga a email advertisement once a week in the local papers, telling of some vegetable that is ready for the market, and soliciting, orders. This is all that is necessary,' for after the first sale to a custon er of each vegetable, Ioget enough repeat crdcrs to exhaust my supply of that. particular vegetable. In the fall I dispose of my prultry In the same way I raise ducks, geese, :and chickens. Of course, they must be caressed and pecked in ice before ship- ping, but the higher price I get for them more than pays for my trouble. Dressed poultry always brings Letter prices than live poultry, and during the holidays I reap a big harvest from my products. During the late fall anti early win- ter, dressed wild rabbits are another source of income to me. I have more orders for these than I can fill. Hick- ory -nuts and butternuts are easily shipped by parcel -post, and I usually sell all that I can gather, 1 never ex- pect to get rich from the sale of nuts, hut the best part of their sale is that they are largely profit. Attractively displayed and neatly packed wares, and the superior qual- ity of my goods, are my best advcr- Ask for Minaret's and take no other. tisement. ' The repeat orders are the [ result of quality •products neatly packed and shipped. They look ap- petizing to the consumer when he re- ceives them, and they taste .lust as good as they look. Some things, of course,can not be distributed by parcel -post, but it pays to deal direct with everything tiae.t can be shipped by mail,' M ICY'S GHAT DA:AGER F URI\C HOT IYEATHER More little cues die during the hot weather than at any other time of the year.

Keeping Desert Chiefs FriedRy Py her successful protection of the caravan routes France has earned the gratitude of the people of the regions that border on the great Sahara. Many of these great trade caravans are literally moving cities, They sometimes consist of 12,000 camels, to say noth- ing of horses, donkeys; sheep and goats. As showing the constant effort that the French officials make to establish friendly relations with the natives it may be mentioned that several times teach year the commandants of the French posts along the edge of the Sa- hara organize fantasias in honor of the Arab sheiks of the region, The sheiks come in to attend them followed by great retinues of turbaned and splen- didly mounted retainers, and with the same enthusiasm with which an American countryside turns out to see the circus. Races with valuable money prizes are arranged . for the visitors' horses, and before the sheiks leave they are presented with ornate saddles, gold mounted rifles and sometimes with creases of the Legion of Honor. in return for this hospitality they willingly agree to capture and surren- der certain -fugitives from justice; to warn the more lawless of their tribes- men that the plundering of caravans must cease, to furnishquotas of re- ` cruits for the native cavalry and to send in for ,sale to the repnount de- partment a large number of desert bred horses. Most, important of all, they go;- back to their tented homes In the desert immensely impressed with the power and the generosity of Prance. Not content with these manifesta- tions of friendship, the French Gov- ernment makes it a paint to invite the native rulers of the lands under its control to visit France occasionally as the guests of the nation. Escorted by French officers who can talk to them in their own Ianguage these Colonial visitors in. their. outlandish costumes experience the delights of Paris, are dined by the President of the Republic at the Elysee Palace, re- ceive the freedom of the city at the Hotel de Vine and finally return to their own lauds friends and allies of France for the rest of their lives. By a network of small oasis garri- sons and desert patrols, recruited from the desert tribes and mounted on the tall, swift trotting camels known as Mehari, France has made the Sa- haran trade routes, if not as safe as Fifth Avenue or Piccadily, certainly very much safer for the lone traveller than certain streets of Chicago and Paris. It has long been the fashion to hold up . the Northwest Mounted Police as the model for all constabulary farces, just as it has been the fashion to extol the English as the model colonizers, but when you consider the .smallness of their numbers, the vastness of the region which they control and the character of the Climate and its• in- habitants, it is contended that the blue ribbon in this regard should go to the lean, brown faced, hard riding camel men who have carried law and order into the furthermost corners of the great Sthara. ich Flavor of is at its best after boiiin4 a full twenty minutes; and a well made cup. of Postum is hard. to beat ® thei71;t' ill, "INST.A.NT POSTUM is made Quick as a. wink in the cup.

"If people would only attend to their blood, instead of worrying themselves 1U," said an eminent nerve specialist, "we doctors would not see our eon- sulting rooms crowded with nervous wrecks. More people suffer front worry than anything else." The sort of thing which the special- ist -spoke of is tate nervous run-down condition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to -day, Sufferers find themselves tired, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. Any sudden nolle hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless fears, and do not sleep well at night, headaches and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all comes from starved nerves. Doctoring the nerves with.potsonous sedatives Is a terrible mistake, The only realnerve tattle is a good supply of rich, red blood. Therefore to re- lieve nervousness and run-down health Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be taken. These pills make new, rich blood, which strengthens .the nerves, improves the appetite, gives new strength and spirits, and mites hitherto despondent people bright and cheerful. If you are at all "out of sorts" you should begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 22.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Writhig Letters Miles Away. A wonderful typewriter has just been tried for the first time between Newcastle and London. That sounds odd, as if it were a motor -car, but this typewriter types its letters hundreds of miles away. It is a new form of telegraph instru- ment, and as the key of any letter is tapped, this letter is printed on a paper ribbon by a little lettered wheel, whose movements are controlled by the electric currents sent from the instruments. The keyboard is just like that of an ordinary typewriter, and forty words a minute can be written in York or Glasgow by a man tapping his ma. chine in Birmingham or London. Their Wireless Wedding. With the bride at the church and the groom in a battleship, what is believed to be the first marriage by wireless is reported. The bridegroom, Mr. John R. Wake- man, is a sailor on board the U.S.S. Birmingham, and the bride. is Miss Mabel Ebert, of Detroit, U.S.A. About 1,000 miles off the California coast, the ship's chaplain read the ritual received by the ship's wireless, while Miss Ebert and her friends were assembled in the First Presbyterian Church, Detroit. Here the Rev. C. E. Moir telephoned the bride's answers to a telegraph of- fice, to be transmitted to the Great Laltes Naval 'Training Station and thence gashed on to the battleship by wireless.

The sweet potato may soon be a mutat more cotnmea vegetable in our markets than heretofore. Its season has been restricted by the difficelty of keeping it for any length of time in storage. Unlike the white potato, it began to deteriorate as soon es it crura out of rho ground. This trouble is understood to have beam overcome by new methods of curing, and plants specially designed for tate storage of sweet potatoes have ret'entiy been esteblalied at many points in the Southern States. The sweet potato, of emuse, is not really a potato at all, but a kind. of yam. It is, like the so-called "Irish potato, an American vegetable by origin.

In the evening he called for the um- brellas again. He boarded a street car, and found himself sitting opposite the lady of the lunch-time episode.
