If all the readers who did purchase goods on the strength of these recommendations would waste a cent in sending me a post card saying they had done so, it would definitely show whether this small experiment in honesty has any practical value.

Meanwhile The Forerunner will continue to run one or two as samples; put in real ones when it gets them; and may find it necessary to take out the eight pages which would have been so useful if properly filled.

Best of all; if enough subscriptions come in, we can get along without any advertising whatever--and furnish more reading matter.

For this ideal state we look forward hopefully.

Things we wish to Advertise

SIX OTHER BREAKFAST FOODS: All first-rate.

ONE VARIETY OF SOUPS: Absolutely good.

FOUR OTHER FOOD-MAKERS: Safe to recommend.

FOUR KINDS OF COCOA: All very good.

A HAIRBRUSH: A real delight--if you have hair.

MY TYPEWRITER: I _would_ have this kind.

A PEN: All my books were written with this pen.

A VOICE TABLOID: A blessing to a speaker.

A TOOTHPASTE: The best out of many.

PERFECTION IN HAIRPINS.

TWO KINDS OF UNDERWEAR: Good ones.

TWO KINDS OF HOSIERY: They wear well.

A HOUSEHOLD COMFORT AND TIME-SAVER.

A MATTRESS: Continuously satisfactory.

BOOKCASES: The kind you want.

A MUSIC MACHINE: Or how to keep the boys at home.

FIVE FOOD ARTICLES: Long valued.

A DRESS s.h.i.+ELD: That can be trusted.

SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHALEBONE.

TWO KINDS OF SKIRT-BINDING: Always reliable.

THE BEST OF CRACKERS.

FOUNTAIN PEN THAT NEVER LEAKS.

These are "preferred stock." More may be tried and found worthy; but these have been used long and continuously--just because they were good.

If this list could be filled out at reasonable rates, it would form a very useful little collection, to seller and buyer. And to

CHILDREN CEASE TO CRY FOR IT.

This is a gratuitous advertis.e.m.e.nt, benefitting

a) The Child; whose pain stops;

b) The Mother; who doesn't have to hear him cry;

c) The Nearest Druggist--a little.

CALENDULA is a good standard old drug--made of marigolds--in the _materia medica._ You buy a little bottle of tincture of calendula, and keep it on the shelf. n.o.body will drink it by mistake--it doesn't taste good.

Presently Johnny falls down hard--he was running--he fell on a gritty place--his poor little knee is sc.r.a.ped raw. And he howls, how he howls!

square-mouthed and inconsolable.

Then you hastily get a half a tea-cupful of water, a little warm if you have it, and put in a few drops of calendula. Wet a soft clean rag in it, bind it softly on the wound, keep it wet--and the pain stops.

Many many times has this quieted my infant anguish; also have I used it as a grown up. The effect is the same.
