THIS is TRUE.
Though 1t is Nothing New Under the
sun.

Sun.
Advertising is to mans business
what the circulation is to a mans
body. 1t supplies the nourishment that
keeps the machine running. When it is
out of order the machine is not properly
nourished and it fails to do the work
expected of it. Tt is not enough that
the body have nominal circulation
the quality of the blood is of prime inn
portance, poor, thin blood will not do.
The body languishes unless there is an
abundance of warm, rich blood con-
stantly on hand to build up the waste
tissues. The rule holds true OF busl-
ness; it is useless to advertise unless
the advertising space is filled with
strong effective ads, rich in convincing
statements that will bring the trade
your way. The blood is rot fitful in
its work; it keeps at it all the time, day
and night; when we wake and when we
sleep it is going its faithful rounds sup
plying the needed material for Keeping
the body in good repair; not only sup
plying material for building up the
natural waste, but repairing injuries
that NAV have come to the machine OF
which it is the faithful and tireless
guardian The carefully placed ad. is
doing exactly the same thing; it guards
the interest of the business, it is doing
it's work silently but surely; when the
merchant wakes or when he sleeps it
is caring for his interests; is supplying
material for meeting unlooked-for
emergencies and is constantly strength
ening the business against possible
calamities, If the advertising is done
in a fitful manner, by jerks as it we're,
the results will not be good. The judi
cious, shrewd business man should
keep himself constantly before the pub
lic-or rather he should keep his bust
ness before the public. Never for a
moment allow the possible customers
to forget where to go for his supplies.
Keep before his mind constantly, the
fact that your are alive and ready to
receive him cordially and you will find
a responsive public. Good advertising,
we'll distributed over the body of the
people, in abundant quantities where
needed, in a smaller vein where that
will do, constantly enriched with the
new facts and new thoughts, we'll
digested, will keep "a business alive,
healthy and growing, will nourish it
powerfully and will guard it securely
against all possible calamities.

SWALLOWING A FARM.
How Easily It is Done at Ten Cents
Swallow.


Swallow.
For good, common sense temper
ance sermon, brought right down to
practical, ry-day experience, we
have never seen anything better than
the following from the pen of Bob Bur-
dette. He says: My homeless friend
with the chromatic nose, while you are
stirring up the sugar in ten cent
glass of gin, let me give you fact to
wash down with it. You may say you
have always longed for the free, indie
pendent life of a farmer, but you have
never been able to get money enough
to buy farm. There is where you are
mistaken For some years you have
been drinking good improved farm at
the rate of 100 square feet at gulp.
If you doubt this statement figure it
out for yourself. An acre of land con-
tains 43, $50 feet. Estimating for con-
venience the land at 1886 an acre,
you will see it brings the land to just
one mill per square foot. Now pour
down the dose and imagine you are
swallowing strawberry patch. Call
in YOUR friends and have them help you
swallow that 500 foot garden. Get on
a prolonged spree and see how long it
will take you to swallow enough pas
ture land for a COW. Put down that
glass of gin. There is dirt in it-300
feet of good, rich dirt, worth 1886 per
acre
Now, at the commencement of an
other year, is d good time to look the
matter square in the face, and cut off
the expensive and useless custom Of
throwing money, 5, 10, 20 or 80 cents
at time, into the beer and whiskey
till, and save it instead as the begin
ming of fund to buy a farm or home.
There is one thing sure as truth, and
that is, that you can't give your earn
ings to somebody else and keep them
yourself. The men you give them to
will not buy you farm, nor build you
home. They may build homes with
the money you give them, but the
homes will be for themselves, and the
farms they buy will be for themselves.
Whenever you drop it on another's
soil, he will harvest the crop; if you
plant it for yourself, you may reap the
fruitful increase and gather the golden
grain into your own granary where by
every God-given right it belongs"

OBJECTS TO DANCING.
. The Devils in the Fiddle" According to
This correspondent.

Mr.. EDITOR: 2The social given Sat-
urday evening at the G.. A. r. rooms
by the w. A. P. A. was a very enjoy
able affair, and the object, that OF
raising funds for the Free Public Lii
brary, was one which appealed to the
sympathies Of the best portion Of the
community. The supper was elegant
and the program fine, and had it closed
there, there would have been general
satisfaction. But some one blum
dered" or worse than Numbered; for a
large number Of people who we're
known to be conscientiously opposed
to dancing were induced to go by
being told that there positively would
not be any dancing That the w. A.
P. A. had decided to show Kenosha
people that they could have a good So
cial without dancing, and they GER
tainIy had proved their ability to do it
before. The announcement was made
at the close of the program that the
floor would now be cleared for dancing.
Doubtless the ladies who made these
representations did SO in good faith, for
many, if not all of them, are women
whose character for veracity cannot be
questioned, and it was q cruel thing
for those who could have controlled
the affair to allow their statements to
be repudiated. The few dimes that
were added to the fund were valueless
compared with the loss of character for
truthfulness and reliability which the
organization sustained i'll the minds of
tt ose who were entrapped. The dane
ing itself was harmless compared with
the abuse of confidence shown to the
public in permitting it after the repre-
sensations used to get those who do not
approve of it there; and it will be a
long time before consistent christian
people will feel that they can attend
one of the socials of that organization
without fear of being entrapped again.

Something More Than a Fad.
A travelling agent for one of the big
bicycle concerns was in one day last
week and he made without reserve the
statement that his house had already
sold for the season Of '96 as many bicy--
Giles as they made during all OF the year
1895. He said that the number of
dealers in wheels had increased, and,
the people generally were coming to,
look upon the bicycle as much as a
matter of convenience and a matter of
necessity as they one time regarded
their horse and buggy. None of the
American made wheels SO far us known
will this year have the Simpson chain,~
which it is claimed by its promoters:
will give greater speed without any
additional exertion. This claim is
pooh-poohed by many of the riders and
the makers OF wheels on this side of.

This is only confirmation of what

This development of southern ports is
one of the most important features OF
the business situation of the United
States. Every man Interested in the
Industrial progress of the south must
rejoice at seeing the growth of south
ern commerce even more than the
building at present Of new mills and
furnaces. The development Of the sea
ports of the south means great COM
mercial and financial centers along the
south Atlantic and Gulf coast, the
opening up of new lines Of transporta-
quent chezpening of freights to Europe
and South America, and the increa Sc
of railroad facilities between the west
and the south In this way the foun-
dation is being laid for an industrial
development along the lines of the
roads connecting the south and west
such as we now see in Pennsylvania,
New York and Ohio along the lines OF
the railroads that have heretofore done

the growth of financial institutions,
the increase OF immigration, and a di-
versity OF employment and an ever

many years been enjoying. largely by
reason OF the magnificent railroad facil-
tiles which they possess These rail

GREAT MEN GREATLY DIFFER.

A number OF writer's, considered by
themselves and by others as big guns,
are limbering up through several of the
more important monthlies Of the coun-
try, on the monetary question. There
is nothing more evident than many
statesmen and other economic authori-
ties have become more radical in their
convictions that bimetallic standard is
an impossibiliJy and that as single
measure of value nothing can ever
equal gold. Upon the other hand many
gold monometalliSts are modifying
their views touching the prophesied dis
asters which they have been claiming
as inevitable should silver be given Ike
privileges OF gold at the minis. There
are all kinds of opinions expressed.

CONFUSION IN KANSAS.

It can not be said that anyone just
no wexactly understands the SITUATION
in The west. 1t is very peculiar. The
Republican party in sections has had
serious OBJECTIONS on account OF silver
the Democratic party is broken up over
Bryan's Populistic tendencies as Wen
as the Populists failure to endorse Sc

vided in regard to the respective
merits OF Watson and Sewall, and Bry-
ans silence.

ion of what this mixture will result III
Sentiments fit like the shadows or

ministration took away a few fopu-
list followers here and there.
But upon the whole the Populist fol-
lowers have harbored up nothing
against MIR Lewelling and If they could
speak today they would name him Tor
their candidate.
But the fact is and stands plainly
and palpably before every one anu
humiliates all OF us that the Popuhst
party is like its older brethren, boss
ridden. 1t is the head of Briedenthal
that is guiding things. Ii is his finger

ly. lie has around him some or the
Populist bosses who did not go into
the Briedenthal crowd But Lewell-

lance and has the reins.
