According to the department of agriculture, data collected from several thousand farms shows that the value of the family living at farm prices approximates d of the cost of the living of farm families, and of the costV one-thir- two-thir- of food, fuel and house rent. It averages h of the farm d of the farm income. . receipts and The figures, as the department points out, vary with the different localities and the different years, and with the different families, too.

But after delfation and depression came, two or three years later the valu'e-of the family living on, the farm was d of the income. The department points out further, however, that the value of this living does not come to the farmer freely without effort and free of cost. The direct money cost for some of the items enumerated is not great, but represents labor, capital and sometimes cash . outlay for materials. But much of the capital employed in raising the food items for the family is necessary for farm business and the materials used in their production are sometimes or wastes from the Much of the in labor living. producing the family living is done at odd moments, or by the children.

Mr. Twentyman declared that the good advertising writer, the one who brings results for his store or business, prepares his copy from the viewpoint of the customer. To do this the ad writer must have imagination, and must visualize a prospective customer coming into the store, and try to write the advertisement with a view to interesting this prospective customer, and creating in him or her a desire to buy. Because the news stories are written in snappy fashion, it is necessary for the advertising man to produce just as clever stuff, the speaker declared. The reading public is used to it and will not read advertisements unless they are alive, he added. Putting the Punch in Layouts was the subject of the talk. Mr. Twentyman is considered an expert at laying out full page, advertisements. "If I had my way, the advertising writer would not be called an advertising manager. He would be called a public representative. And he would devote half of his time to the interests of his employer and the remainder to the public. .

I just knew Kamak was different from ordinary medicine by the way people on all sides were praising it, but it was simply amazing the way this medicine really rid me of my troubles and restored me to such grand health again, declares Mrs. Anna Gee, of Burley, Idaho. I suffered just awful from neu IB HEUm ritis and rheumatic pains which seemed to center in my hips and kept me in misery both day and night, continues Mrs. Gee. For three years I had been in this condition, and I had severe headaches and felt weak and all rundown. I was simply in a deplorable state of health. But since taking three bottles of this wonderful Karnak all those neuritis and rheumatic pains are gone; and I have been rid of those awful headaches and built up to where I just feel like a new person. I simply relish and enjoy my meals more than ever now, and I am so well and happy that I just cant praise Karnak half enough.
