When preparation has an advertised repu
tation that is world wide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you go int
store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel 1t has the
endorsement ofthe world. The Judgment OF
the people is infaliible because it is imperso-
nal. The retailer who wants to sell you
''something els" N place of the article you
ask for has TX TO :.rind. Don't 1t stand
to reason? He's trying to sell something
that Is not hat h" represents it to be- Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
out OF your cr"dul.ty. Are YOU easy? Don't
you see through his little game? The man
who VIII try and sell you substitute for
Cascarets is fraud. Beware of him! He is
trying to steal the honesty earned benefits Of
reputation which another business man
has paid for. and if his conscience wi | allow
him to so so far, he will go farther. If he
cheats his customer in one way, he will in
another and il is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the Cascaret substitutor.
Remember Cascarets are never sold in bulk
but in metal boxes with the long-tailed "C'

POLICE ITEMs.-On complaint OF Ser
geaDt Smith, colored man was
brought before the Mayor this morning
charged with disposing of liquor fol-
money at an entertainment given ct
Lucas Hall Thursday night, without q
license. The man said he was not aware
that he was violating the law and that
il was the first time he had done 30.
The Mayor said ignorance of the law
was no justification, but 10 considera.
ton Of II being first offense he would

A market man was before the Mayor
this morning on complaint Of the
Market Master charged with violating
that section Of the corporation laws for
bidding the sale of meats less than
quarters 10 the vegetable and fish
market. The Mayor said the law was
very righteous one. as 1t prevented
an unjust discrimination against butch
ers who pay a license to sell meats
and, further, 1t was not at all harsh, fol
it did not prevent country people from
selling their meats by the quarter Of
more and that in ell cases hereafter
brought to his attention the penalty
would be rigidly enforced.
