the value Of character In newspapers
that II Is given below in part:
Advertising in the Evening Wiscon-
sia is worth more per thousand circu-
lation than advertising in cheap, char
acterless papers. It Costs only thir-
teen one-hunGredths Of cent per line
per thousand circulation.
The Chicago Tribune. frst-class
peper, Is worth more per thousand
circulation than is cheap paper. It
charges 81 cents per line for 10000
lines, or exactly fifteen one-hundredths
Of cent per line per thousand circu-
lation.
The London Times is more valuable
as an advertising medium than any
penny London paper. It charges more,
receives more. and the advertising Is
worth more, because 1t Is a newspaper
of character and sells for three times
as much per copy as the penny pa
pets.
The New York Herald sells for three
cents per copy to the readers. Its cir
cuiation is some less than that OF
some penny papers; but advertisers
pay the Herald for their space very
much more than they pay the penny
pagers, whatever their circulation.
The Herald Is a newspaper Of charac-
ter, 1t is the most profitable newspa-
per in the city of New York. It has
the largest advertising patronage.
The Boston Transcript charges more
and receives more per line per thou
sard circulation than any Of its con-
temporaries. The exceptionally high
character of the readers Of, the Tran
scrip makes its advertising columns
more 5sssable than those cf any PEN
ny newspervy Of Boston.
The subsci bers- OF pelEspapers Of
character are people of character.
They add value to its circulation as an
advertising medium. A thousand
readers Of means and character pur-
chase four times as much per annum
as the readers Of penny papers.
The particular value Of che readers
Of d high class. paper to advertisers Is ],
that they do not subscribe nor read
the cheap newspapers.
One-half the readers Of the Evening
Wisconsin do not take any other NH
waukee newspaper. Like o wall the
character Of he Evening Wisconsin
surrounds Its readers.
A man of character may not live In
a palace. The modest homes where
the Evening Wisconsin Is read contain
people of character. These people are
very desirable customers. They can
be reached only through its columns.

TOO MUCH OPERATING.
Eminent Physician says Surgery Is
Unnecessary Craze.


Prof DR.. Ernst Schweninger, lead
| ing physician Of the great district
hospital Of Gross Ldchterfelde, near
Berlin, refers in his annual report to
the subject Of modern surgery in a
manner which has created a sensa-
ton.
His convictions, he says, is that re-
course is had to operations far too
frequently nowadays. One disease af-
ter another is handed over to opera
tive technique, and the way in which
the physician is pushed on one side
by the surgical handicraftsman does
not seem TO him right. Surgery, which
sees nothing and knows nothing out
side its own narrOwly-staked-Ou pro-
vince, forgets too often that other
ways also lead to the goal
step by STEP" continues Professor
Schweninger, the physician has had
to give way before the more FORUM
ate surgeon, whose success is more
quickly evident, and we must today
quietly look on while frenzy celebra-
ties triumphs where mechanism Of the
briefest and most generalizing infer
ence takes possession Of superstdOus
spirits"
Among the proofs adduced in sup
port Of his point Of view, the PROBES
sor states: The functions Of the
spleen and the Office OF the appendix
are unknown to US. Therefore they
are unnecessary organs, All We cUt
them out when anything is wrong
with them"
Professor Schweninger also de-
plOres the modern system Of sDecializ-
ing in the medical profession. The
man, he says, who devOtes all his
power Of work. all his knowledge and
capabilities to the treatment Of only
the eyes, nose, ears, skin, nerves or
other organs, runs a risk Of losing
feeling, and hence the power To
treat human beings. He ceases to be
a physician, and becomes a virtuosO.
