The Substitution Evil.

When an advertiser spends money lib
orally to popularize certain brand-be
the article food product, whisky or a
medicine-it is but natural that he
should feel entitled to the full benefits
of his expenditures. But many adver-
tisers complain that people permit
themselves to be persuaded to accept
something ''just as good' in place of
fthoparticuiar brand called for.
The first advertiser of national i'm
portance to make the evil of substitu-
tion the subject of announcement, so
far as We are aware, was the firm of
Chester II. Graves T. Sons of Boston,
who several years ago published in a
Denver paper large display advertise
ment calling attention in the strongest
language to this crying evil. This firm
sells high grade whisky which has a
large sale at druggists and high class
grocery stores. They have spent many
thousands of dollars to acquaint the
public with the high order of merit of
their particular brand, the &c. .. Tay-
Ior" whisky. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Graves that his sales, though very large.
would be increased by gocdly percent
age, if people would not allow them
selves to be diverted to inferior brands
when desiring to purchase &c. o. Tay-
lor." e,''t"
Advertised brands, !" says Mr.. Graves,
~ am speaking of those which have
been kept before the public from year TO
year and of other products as well as
whistles, must be of necessity of higher
than average quality. For this reason:
The profits on the first sales produced
by advertising are seldom sufficient to
pay its cost. But the article must have
merit in order to secure the stimulative
effect of continuous advertising. 1t is
the recommendation of one purchaser to
another and the further sales to first
purchasers that in time creates de
mand of sufficient volume to pay the
advertiser. If an article has not high
merit it could not be continuously ad
vertised.
1.-The average merchant will not go so
far as to palm off palpable counterfeit
with label and package put up to imi-
tste the original brand. though this is
sometimes done by nnscrupulous dealers.
but tile average merchant does claim
that it Is not only perfectly natural. but
absolutely proper, on his part, to make
every legitimate effort to sell a Gus
tomer any goods he may choose if he
does not happen to have the particular
brand called for, or, having the brand,
desires to sell some other which pays
him larger profit.
s'If this reasoning is correct, the fault
lies with the customers themselves. If
people would always insist upon having
Just what they ask for and would accept
mona other, substitution would be re-
dueed to the minimum. New Haven

LOVE, As IS!

The esteemed Sadie Msrtinot having

reaches these profound conclusions:
"At first imagined that love was q
spiritual manifestation, pure and simple.

currents and currents In the ocean and
electric currents--so why shouldn't there

just as well be that as any thing else. A
rose by any other name would be as
sweet. But 1t might bs hard to prove
that the currents are set In motion only
by magnificent physical health"
Conspicuously the biggest man oftsn
finds himself enthralled by the littlest,
weakest bit OF woman and 30. while,
the "love current" may thus be credited
as setting one way on the ''magnificent
physical theory, IL surely doesn't run
both ways.
1t IL all very easy for woman Of ex-
perience to dismiss the subject of love
with so arbitrary an explanation, but
its manifestations will nevertholess be-
yond all manner of doubt, continue to be

cludes as to men, in the interview from
which we quote Is not less open to argu.

by any msans. She says: "I do not be =

DUTIES OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.

No Virtue In Ones Daily Actions Un-
less it is EstabIishod In the Soul.
"The obligations and duties of the
Christian life are not oil external, :"
writes Cardinal Gibbons, pointing out q
religious life to young men, In the jan
uary Ladies Home journal. ''They are
mainly material, and must proceed from
the heart. There Is no virtue in ones s
daily actions unless IL be first esta blshed
In the soul. and il only an external ex-
preston of the souls convictions or pro.
longation OF heartfelt sentiments Yet
the external practice OF Christian virtues,
and the performance OF Christian duties,
pertain to the integrity, If not to the es-
sentiai character Of the Christian life.
The interior sentiments soon perish with.
out ex ternai expression, as life and bodily
powers 5ecome extinct without dus and
proper exercise or employment
However, ss the external duties are
not absolutely, and unds- all circumstan-
ces, essential, they vary both in number
and frequency, according to the environ
ments and opportunitiea A business
man oannoC do all that clergyman is
expected to do; a man I'm trade not what
a man in leisure can accomplish; nor a
man OF the world all that Is possible ard
easy to one who keeps himself from So
ciety. But all, no matter where, no
matter what their engagements and secu-
lar pursuits, how little or how much
time they can call their own, can and
ara obliged TO perform daily acts of pray
or and religion. and accomplish many
duties OF virtue and charity. There Ia no
condition of life which is incompatible
with tho dictates. and principles, and

STORY WHOLLY FALSE.

Washington, Jan. a.. - Governor
Barnes of Oklahoma has reported TO Sec.

story was wholly false. The county au.

adds that no troops are at the scene OF
the reported trouble and none is neces-
0ary.
Indian Agent Wisdom at Muskogee, l.

rising OF the Indians. He says that Gov
ernor Barnes has offered $1,000 reward
for the conviction OF members Of the mob
that burned the Indians.
