II is advertising that brings in the
money to paw all the other expenses
Advertising is business insurance. Adver-
tislng what you haven't got, or what you
won't do is worse than not advertising at all.
You can't well be too careful about this.
Make your advertisements strictly true in
letter and in spirit. Undoubtedly the ma
jority of business men do this now, but
as it is the most important thing about adj
vertising. it will bear repeating and re-
iterating. When merchants and laymen
come 10 consider advertising in its legiti-
mate character of business news" it will
pay better-pay the advertiser better and
the advertiser, too.

Nicetown, Pa, gives the reason for this
sad condition of many working girls.
Sometimes their back and sides will
ache terribly. They are faint and dizzy
with pain and weight in the lower part of
their stomach. They watch the clock,
and wish that the day would end, as they
feel so i'll and tired.
Standing all day, week in and week out,
they have slowly drifted into woman's

SANTA FEE RECEIVER TALKS.
HE SAYS NO CHANGE WILL BE MADE
IN OPERATING THE A. &P.
The Receivers Will Return the Road
to the Company in Better Condi-
ton Then When it
Was Taken.

TOPEKA. Kas., Dec. 1S.-Receiver Walk
er, of the Santa Fe system, speaking last
night of the recent action taken to ter
inmate existing contracts with the Allan
tic and Pacific company, said IL was not
their intention to cease operating the At
lantic and Pacific or to effect in any way
the present arrangements for handling
it's traffic. In investigating the contract
relations between the Santa Fe and 'FriS-
co and the Atlantic and Pacific, he said:
ut was found that by various old agree
ments the former roads had undertaken
not only to make good all losses in oper-
ating the latter, but also to pay various
other obligations of the latter including
interest on its per cent bonds. These
contracts could not be carried out by the
receivers of the former roads, now insol-
vent, hence the application. The receiver
would continue to operate the Atlantic
and Pacific road"
Speaking of the matter OF reorganlZa-
ton, Mr.. Walker said that when the hold
ers of the various securities should have
completed their arrangements for re-or-
ganization, it was the ambition of the re-
ceiyers to promptly turn the road over to
its owners in better condition for trans
acting business and with greater earn
ing power than it possessed when its
interest payments were suspended an
the intervention Of the courts became
necessary.
