Two Pointed Questions Answered
What 10 the use of making 3 better
article than your competitor II you
q not get q better price for III
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, 60 that while your profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best7
If both articles are brought promi-

very quickly pass judgment on them

Washington, March 10.-One of the
paragraphs of the army reorganization
act contained authorization for the en-
listment again of the volunteer troops
now in the Philippines. 1t was stipu-
lated that these troops should be re-
enlisted only for a period OF time neces-
saTy to replace them by regular troops,
in no case longer than six months. The
question has been presented to the war
department whether or not it was able
under this provision to avail itself of
the services of the officers of the volun-
teer regiments, as well as of enlisted
men, until the troops can be replaced
by regulars. The law officers of the
department have concluded that the
word enlist" employed in the act. was
used in a broad sense and that, there
fore, the president has authority to
take over all the volunteer regiments
now at Manila and other points in the
Philippines into the service Of the
United States in organizations, with
their full compliments of officers and
men.
Il has been represented that the vol
unteers there are longing to return to
the United States and to private life.
The officials say that this is a mistake.
General Otis has reported that the men,
volunteers as web as regulars, do not
want to come home, but are anxious to
fight and crush the insurgents. Nearly
every company has suffered through
the wounding of some of its members
at the hands Of the sharpshooters, and
they are anxious to make the account
even.
