STORES ARE "MoNEY MACHINES"

To it's patrons a modern store OF
shop may mean many things 1t may
mean simply a pleasant shopping
place; or it may mean a "house of Op-
/ pOrtunities," a place with all of the
magnetic virtues bargains" can give
it, aided by its reputation for up-tO,
dsteness in its service, equipment,
/ goods.
But, no matter what the store means
to the patron, to the owner it means
lin the final analysis-a MONEY MA
CHINE.
The net product of this money ma
chine is the thing about it which in
terests him most.
And the net product depends upon
many things.
In the first place there's a street
full-a city full-of these money ma
chimes. all grinding away, each ones
net product being determined by the
skill and intelligence of the mind that
controls and guides and operates it.
Walking along any o. our streets
you will be impressed with the fact
that here and there is to be found one
or these money machines that is sadly
out of repair-anOther that has been
wholly wrecked and abandOned-still
another that is running with a creak
and crunch which betokens some
thing wrong with the opeIator-in-
charge. and which forecasts an early
collapse.
To expand the smile of the Money
Machine; the operator, with the one
object and purpose of NET PRODUCT,
feeds into the machine, every business
day, a great variety Of raw material
such as dependable goods, price-con-

Il may be asked where, in cOnnec-
ton with this machine. PUBLICITY
comes in-what part the newspaper
plays in arriving at this
net product of dollars THE ANSWER
IS THAT PUBLICITY is SIMPLY
THE MOTIVE POWER WHICH RUNS
THE MONEY MACHINE-THAT'S
ALL!
When the machine runs haltingly il
is usually because the operator has
concluded that its operation is costing
too much money, and that the place
to economic is on MOTIVE POWER.
No instance has yet been known Of

The Accident to

While the unfortunate accident to
the light house tender Magnolia
bearing President Roosevelt from the
city Of New Orleans to the cruiser
West Virginia, awaiting him at the
mouth Of the Mississippi, is to be
deeply regretted, it emphasizes the
wisdom Of the navy department in
declining 70 order four million dol
lar cruiser up the tortuous and
creacherous Mississippi to a point
on the Crescent City.
And a particularly strong point,
which viii hardly escape the notice

With all her boasted greatness the
fact is undeniable that New Orleans is
a river city. and not a seaport in the
true sense Of the word. The com

sible for her present position-the

AS to the
Medical Volunteers.

The following from the Tallahassee

says:
Have you heard of any profession

overwOrked and almost exhausted
nurses and doctors?
Now the fact is that Pensacola has
not required the services of outside
physicians. Had we done so and
made an appeal for their assistance
we have no doubt that there would
have been plenty Of volunteers to
supply the need.
AS it was, one physician, DIR. John
MacDiarmid, of DeLand, Fla, volun-
teered his services and came to Pen
sacola, remaining two or three weeks
and assisting in the work, but seeing
that the local physicians were per
fectly able to take care of the sltua-
ton. he returned home.
One other physician, DR.. Hiram
Byrd, volunteered to go to Pensacola
at the outbreak of the fever and has
been here bravely fighting it ever
since. Dr. Byrd is Of course in tie
employ of the state board of health.

fore the state health officer called on
him to go.

they are run in. parallel columns with
the same figures for this year The
statistics Of the minimum tempera-
lures by days for the two years were
secured from Observer Reed Of the
local weather Bureau, and the whole

The comparison proves conclusively
that the discovery and application OF

absolutely the correctness Of the
theory itself.

'Have you noticed the large number of

larial fever, appendicitis and many kindred
complaints are the result Of constipation,
patient to run along without proper treat
ment. You will remember when you were

prescription was dose of castor oil! All
physicians know the value of having the
bowels thoroughly opened. People, when
they grow up, allow. constipation to be-
come chronic through lack of attention.

collects in the alimentary canal and there
decays, generating poisonous disease germs.
These germs find their way into the blood
by means Of which they are carried to
every tissue. The fever thus created al
ffects not only the lungs, kidneys, stomach,
heart and nervous system, but in fact any
as a result: The blood becomes thin and
watery: The sufferer loses in flesh and
strength. Castor oil and pills will not
cure an affection like this. Something
more than laxative is needed. There are

To compensate the promoter of the
plan, the laundryman must sign con-
tract, and furnish a satisfactory bond,
agreeing to pay the promoter SO cents
each for every contract, payable on the
day it was handed over to him, and to
pay 81 each for the jardinieres.
This would make $3.50 to be paid
for each $12 contract, which would be
reasonable, considering that possibly
nine out of every ten new customers
would continue to patronize the laun-
dry indefinitely.
Believing that he was entering into
a business agreement, by which all
concerned would be benefited, the laun-
dryman unhesitatingly signed a con-

Having closed his contract, and max
