DOES ADVERTISING PAYl

To merchants who do not believe that
the way to advertise is to keep ever
lastingly at it, the Pilot suggests a few
prices many merchants pay. One page
for an issue in the Century costs $500;
and another magazine the same space
one issue costs from 500 to $4O0 One
column one year in the Chicago Tribune
costs from $2s, 500 TO $4,000. In the
New York World it costs from $64 600
to $4,000. To advertisers in the Pilot
who pay from S. to $50 year and, then
only advertise in tue busy season, these
figures will sound like fiction. Yet
there are no merchants who have built
up big business that have not spent
fortunes in advertising aud found it paid

We wonder sometimes il some parents
would thank men Of the street, who
would tell them of things their children
do. Not all hayward youth turn out

WHEN PRETTY FEET SUFFER.
Those Who Have to Stand All Day
Fare Worse Than Those who
Can Walk About.

1t is pity that certain employments
deprive Liany women of their inalien-
able right to pretty feet. New York
doctors protest that they do not find
the situation among shop girls quite
so deplorable here as it is reported
by St. Louis specialist, but they ad-
NIT that standing for hours at a
stretch certainly does have tendency
to produce Indebtedness, states an
exchange of that city.
'By this do not mean that you will
not find hundreds of pairs of pretty
feet among shop employees" explained
one doctor. "Some of the prettiest
feet in New York are this moment hid
ing their charms behind the counters
of our big stores, but some of the ug-
liest ones are concealing their deform-
tiles in the same place.
Most people who are on their feet
all day are bound to have trouble over
the shape and size of their extremities.
Those who stand fare worse than
those who walk about, for the move
ment and circulation tend to prevent
the fatness which SO many clerks
complain Of. For that reason, the
waitress, for example, will find that
her feet retain more OF their natural
virtues and acquire fewer vices than
the ahop girls"

SP0ONER A CANDIDATE.

John c. Spooner has written letter
addressed to the Rock county legislative
delegation announcing his candidacy
for election to the senate to succeed
himself In this case the expected has
happened. II will be remembered that
the senator as far back ~ July g, 1900, he
wrote letter to the Milwaukee Sentinel
unequivocably declining reelection to
the United States senate. At that time
it created sensation among politicians
but the lapse of days has produced a re-
yolution in the mind of Senator Spooner
~ witness his present attitude. Wheth'
or the senator can command the support
of the me- jority of the Legislators is yet
to be determined Gov La Toilette is
manifestly and aggressively his enemy
Senator Spooner is out Of sympathy
with the governors pet projects, name
ly the primary election scheme and
railroad taxation.
1t is generally admitted that the
senator has soft spot for the great
corporations while the governor is
opposed to allowing them to escape their
just share Of public expenses. This,
naturally, would produce hostility be-
tween the two men and if this hostility
pressed itself to its logical conclusion it
it is reasonable to presume that Gov.
La Follette's friends will antagonize
the senator's ambition.
But, still, peace between the factions
of Republicanism may be patched mp
before the assembling of the legislature
thus insuring the return Of Mr. Spooner
to the senate. He seems to have the
backing Of the national administration
which il IL strong lever. He represents
the new policy Of Imperialism aud can
be depended upon to help in the con
struction of law which will deal not
unkindly with the trusts,
