one OF the receivers or the NationM
Salt company testified In court that a
certain trademark was considered "a
valuable asset" as It was the brand Of
salt that brought the highest price and
had a good market.
Asked how this salt was different
from other salts sold by the company,
the receiver, hesitating, admitted that
there was no difference; that they all
came out OF the same kettle. When
the court then inquired what caused
the high price and good market for
this particular product the witness 70
piled:
"simpIy the extensive and attrao-
tive advertising the brand got"
One thought suggested by this curl
GUS confession is the testimony Il
bears as to the efficacy Of advertising
to create "a valuable asset" even

honal-instance. the advertiser was

Hyuiene of Churches.

zThe poet tells us that the groves
were Gods first temples. From
health standpoint they were far supe-
rior to our magnificent modern edi-
fees, where the worshipers come in
contact with countless germs lurking
in the upholstered seats, and in the
dust-laden' carpets, and their minds
are stupefied by being compelled to
inhale the poisons that are constantly
eXhaled from the lungs of others, be
they sick or well.
Clergymen should feel pride in hay
ing their churches hygienically COIL
structed and well ventilated. Fixed
carpets should not be used in places
of worship where so many people con-
gregate. The example Of the great
Roman divine, the bishop of FanO, in
Italy, is a good one to follow in this
respect. A circular was recently is.
sued by him in which he asks the
priests of his diocese to comply with
the following rules:
81. In every church the floor must
be regularly cleaned with sawdust,
saturated with a strong sublimate
solution. This thorough cleaning
should take place particularly after
holidays when great masses of peO'
pie have visited the church.
90 Every week all ordinary chairs
and confessional chairs, should be
thoroughly cleaned with moist rags,
). The CRATE of the confessional
chairs must be washed every week
with I've and then polished.

Tobacco.

Since Jean Nicot discovered Nco-
tine, tobacco has had a hard name,
but recent chemical investigators tell
us the world has been on the wrong
track for generations, and that nicO-
tine has nothing to do with the trem-
ors, the nervousness, and the other
ills that afflict the habitual smoker.
The injurious property is, it seems,
carbon monOXide gas, which is the
very constituent that is dangerous in
common water gas. The smoker
should know, then, that in consuming
one ounce of tobacco he produces one
whole pint of carbon mOnOXide, which
is very fearsome thing. The cigar
cite, the object of eXecration by all
good men and women, especially wom-
en-, produces very little of the monoX-
ide, but if the practice of inhaling is
followed, the deadly gas goes straight
to the blood in the lungs, turns it
pink and posons it. The cigar is the
great producer of the obnoxious gas,
ard would be more harmful than the
pipe, were it not for the ordinary
pipes incurable filthiness.
Scientists are agreed that there ic
something bad about tobacco, what
ever it's name may be. Yet the sales
are growing at SO rapid rate all over
the world that the people seem to be
rushing blindly to their own destruc-
ton, unmindful and regardless of their
doom. And the hardened smoker be-
lieves that this is a case where ignor-
ance is bliss.
