In "Successful Advertising, How to Ac-

advertisers of this country, within it's four
hundred pages, has given practical les
sons on about every advertising subject.
These are in the shape of talks on vari-
Gus advertising methods advertising
type effects, etc, as well as the prlncl-
pies underlying advertising Scores of ad-
vertising schemes of proven. worth are
given in the book. The questions of pre-
pairing advertisements, selecting mediums,
| methods of conducting sales and other
features are carefully and fully gone in
to, and throughout the book is embel-
lished with many object lessons in the
shape of advertisements and typograph-
ical displays. '~p q
For over ten years the author. of this
work. Mr.. j. Angus Macdonald, has been
associated in an advertising capacity with
est businesses; therefore the. plans given
in this book are eminently practical! The
difference between theory and practice e. pc

for business purposes.

Dr. F. G. Lydston at meeting of the
Physicians club held recently in Chi
cago said:
1.-THE only solution of the Negro
Problem in the south is the inter-
marriage of the Negro with the
white" The full-blooded Negro in a
few years will outnumber the whites
and claim for himself in verify what
new is only his in theory By an in
termingling CT the blood of the two
races the Ne gro in time will be elimin-
ased. The Caucasian is the stronger
race and the Negro must succumb.
THE moral status of the Negro will
never be raised until the moral status
of the white man is raised. Negroes
are lynched in the south for crimes for
which white men receive no punish
ment. Were the people of this country
to light few white bonfires instead
of so many black ones there would
be an immediate clearing of the atmos-
phere and the blight which has spread
over this country would begin to dis
appear"

The PHILOSOPHY of Despair" by David
Starr Jordan is one of the very interest
ing and notable books of the year. In
reading it's pages one thinks Of the grace
and flow of Ruskin not simply because of
the style but because it possesses all the
depth and lucidity of Ruskin:,
ITO the pessimistic philosopher the
progress of the race is a mere illusion:
There is no progress, only. adaptation.
Every creature must fit itself to its envi-
ronment or pass away. The beast fits the
forest for the same reason that the river
fits it's bed. Life is only possible under
the rare conditions in which life is not
destroyed.
In this volume the learned author says
many novel things in manner so entire
ly novel as to. almost convince one that
there is something new under the SUM-
It is essentially a volume which appeals
to the masses. The simplicity of style
and freedom from literary convention puts
the book. within the reach of all under
standings.
