Abstaining From Meat.
From the Council Bluffs Nonparen.

The public indignation aroused by the ad-
vance In the price OF meat has been ex-
pressing itself In stronger form than that of
words. 1t Is a helpful sign that there ex-
lists sentiment which causes a revolt
against such unjust tax even among those
who can afford to pay 1t. The American
people are given to extravagance and they
part with their money freely, but when
they think they are being imposed on they
are ready to abstain from self-indulgence
rather than allow exorbitant demands on
their pocket books. So long as people Is
capable Of such a sentiment, which leads
to the resistance Of oppression in any form,
there Is little danger Of wrongs long ex-
listing.

The Small Advertisements Power.

The man who can advertise at all can adj
vertise in the very best medium-the news
paper which has large circulation among
the people who are able to buy things. A
small advertisement in such a-Sournal Is
better than large one in a newspaper of
small circulation. 1t has been demonstrated
that no advertisement is too small to escape
the attention OF the majority Of newspaper
readers.
