The retail grocers of the country are
having an object lesson in the value
of advertising which they do not thor
oughly enjoy, says the Cedar Rapids
QowD Republican. The manufac-
turers of a certain variety of soda bis
cult are now expanding large sum of
money in advertising this particular
product of their cracker factories.
Their skillfully prepared announce
ments appear in all the newspapers
and stare you in the face from all the
bill boards in the country. AS result
of this enterprise, everybody is calling
for this particular kind of soda biscuit.
The profit to the retailer is very small.
The manufacturer is making him pay
for the advertisement. But for the
grocer there is no help. In vain he tells
his customers that something else is
just as good" they will not have 1t that
way. They want what they have read
about and as the article in question is
meritorious in itself, and the advertis.
ing process is continued. the demand
is increasing all the time. The men
who say it doesn't pay to advertise
have been given vivid object lesson
1t does pay to advertise.

According to my view of the subject,
the conspiracy which seems to have
been formed here and in Europe to de-
stroy by legislation and otherwise from
three-sevenths to one-half the metallic
money of the world is the most gigantic
crime of this or any other age. The
consummation Of such scheme would
ultimately entail more misery upon the
human race than all the wars, pesti-
lence and famine that ever occurred in
the history Of the world. The absolute
and instantaneous destruction of half
the movable property of the world, in
GLIDING horses, ships, railroads and all
other appliances for carrying on COM

sensibly ut the moment, would not pro-
duce anything like the prolonged dis

permanent humiliation of one-half of

Algcr Opposes Beef investigation.
Some months ago, ut the time when
the beef scandals first sent shock
throughout the country, General Miles,
who nominally commands the armies
of the United States, directed Inspector
General Breckenridge to visit the vari-
GUS posts aud camps in this country
and in the West Indies TO investigate
the facts as to the kind of beef fur
nished to the army during and since the
Spanish war; also Colonel Darlington,
under orders. made tour of the West

ton about the methods of refrgerating
and packing beef for army use. These
officers have been very diligent and

were detailed. 1t is understood that

a Warning from Wall Street.
The present speculative Wall street
boom. which affords occasion for n
great showing of prosperity, on paper,
has not conferred any benefits upon
farmers, laborers and small business
men. One reading the metropolitan
dailies would be led to believe that the
bulling of monopoly stocks and the or
ganization of huge industrial trusts is
great boon to the tiller of the soil,
but investigation fails to show this to
be the truth. Now, the best authori-
ties predict Il Wall street collapse, and
what will the plutocratic newspapers
base their prosperity claims upon then
The United States Investor warns the
people to get ready for the next panic,
which, 1t says, is inevitable ut any mo-

which stands close to all of the big
moneyed interests, says that the gov

authorities know their business well
enough to accurately foretell panics a

not Il panic, it will be at least dis

of prosperity that have for some
months been on exhibition in Wall

Will be Of interest through the northwest,

In reply l would say that under date of
the 31st of March General Otis was adj
vised by cable that the secretary of war
desired that the dead of the recent cam
paign be embalmed, If possible, and re-
turned to the United States on early trans
ports. To his he replied that is was i'm
possible to embalm and ship bodies at the
present time, experiments to that end hav-
ing proved a failure on account Of the in
tense heat and rapid decomposition AM that
the process of embalming Immediately after
death had proved unsuccessful; that the
work of embalming had been stopped be-
cause of danger to the health of the inhab-
itants and the uncertainty OF preserving

that the dead can probably be all shipped
within a period Of six months. To this
the secretary replied under date of April
