To Advertise is the Thing.

Take DR.. Osler. for instance There
you have an illustration of what ad-
yertising in the newspapers does. Who
knew DR.. Osler two months ago? DR.
Osler realized that no one did. and
he craved for notoriety. He hit upon
plan Thought he To himself. no
doubt If | wish 10 advertise myself
widely and properly. | must get my
name in the newspapers. and must ad-
vertise myself in the newspapers"
What did he do? He promulgated
some old age determination theory
which was so ridiculous II was good,
and few there are perhaps who have
not read what the newspapers have
said about the DR.. Osler theory of
chlOrOfOrming all persons over 60
years of age. The result is that ev-
erybody has heard of DR.. Osler. Hav-
ing gained the desired notoriety, DR..
Osler denies that he was serious when
he proposed the determination theory.
There is no medium like the news
paper for advertising. If you want
notoriety. that is the way to get il.
If you have goods 10 sell, that is the
way TO let the people know you have
those goods for sale. If you have a
house for rent or if you want TO rent
a house, that is the way to get salts
faction at once. and in fact there is no
advertising medium like the newspa-
per. Some people foolishly waste
money advertising in other ways, but
they get no adequate returns. There
is no denial of the fact that the great
est and most successful of all advertis-
ing mediums is the newspaper. The
results are simple-tO advertise in the
newspapers means success. and to fail
TO advertise means failure.
Had Dr. Osler, who craved nOtoriety.
advertised himself in any other way
than through the newspapers, he
would be as totally in obscurity today
as he was three months ago.

RAILROAD NOTES
May Reduce Rates in Illinois.

The general traffic officials of the
various roads in Illinois are much
alarmed over the prospect of a general
reduction in freight rates by the rail
road and warehouse commission of
this state The commission has ar
ranged a meeting at Springfield for
MAY l6 when the railroads will be
given another chance to convince the
commission that the reduction should
not be made. The reduction has been
under consideration for more than a
year. but every time the commission
met TO take action some cause was
found for adjournment Hundreds of
shippers at Springfield. Peoria. Deca-
tur and other points in the state have
filed complaints claiming that the
rates in this state are too high as com
pared with interstate rates and the
commission no longer can stave of ac-
ton in the matter. The traffic officials
of the various Illinois roads held a
meeting here yesterday, trying TO find
out what steps are necessary TO meet
the inquiry. The railroads consider
the present rates ow enough and say
THE shippers are not suffering, as the
great bulk of traffic is being handled
on special commodity rates that are
lower than the commissioners rates.
