ADVERTISING.
The Working Hours OF the Adj

vertise1ne1t.
In mapping out an advertising cam
| paign there are many points to pc con :
! sdered by the advertiser ne clrcuia-
tion Of the newsdcalers that u - IN :,
tended to use. the field they reach an u
their effectiveness therein y rs =
strange but llndenahly true state or
affairs. however, that up to recently
a. most potent factor in newspaper al
vertlsing has not been given the care
full thought and lengthy Consideration
that 1t is surely due. The important
item that Is suggested is nothing more
nor less than the working hours Of
the advertisement. 1t is of course,
true, that the valua ton Of servicfd can :
not In q great many instances be prop
erlyi measured by the length of the WORK
Ing day, but as statistics prove that the
men who are successful and who have
made business successful are those who
give their best hours TO business. ~
follows that tits q pretty good idea TO
take the working hours into consldefsh-
ton In planning a business campaign.
Governed BIZ the hours OF delivery
there is a wide margin between the
working hours of advertisements IN
various newspapers. The evening papers
usually publish their regular edition
about r.. NJ, and It Is delivered to
an hour later. The stores. those that
usually advertise most extensively ciose
their business for the day about two
hours after the evening edition appears
on the street. This makes the evening
paper advertisement wholly next day
affair. In comparison with this limited
working hour plan the Times Dispatch
places a paper In the homes Of its sub
subscribers at an early morning hour.
two hours, a least. before the stores
open for the days business BY this
plan the advertisement Of the stock on
sale for that day appears in ample time
to be considered before the usual shop
ping hours begin the advertisement ls
before the public during the entire bus
mess day, and If the sale happens to
last? for two or three days. 1.-THE Times
Dispatch not only offers the powerful
advantage of placing the advertisement
before the public ten or twelve hours,
ahead Of any competitor. but so far
as the advertising pages are concerned,
1T offers the same advantages for con-
sideration during the hours Of the even
ing edition as the evening edition itself
does. Then, too the Times Dispatch
will publish and place in its subcribers'
news and advertising pages, both inter
esting and inviting, before the stores
open and the public have the oppor-'
tunity to look into the advertisements
exploited In the evening papers ed-
ton OF the day before.
The Times Dispatsh has undoubtedly
earned its title Of Richmonds homo pa
per. It's record first In the home and
longest In the home has contributed in
no small part to that gratifying express
sion OF public approval.

THINK POISONING
WAS IA: ACCIDENTAL
Police, Baffled BY. Mystery, Now
Turning 10 This
Theory.
THE. DETECTlv NoNPLUssED
Unable To Establish Conceivable
Motive for Supposed Kill
ing Of Children.

Having signally failed to unearth any
evidence that would tend to establish a
motive for the criminal poisoning ofthe
two children OF Mrs. Emma Blakey Per-
kins, the police and detectives are now
turning their attention TO the accident
theory and following this with the hope
Of II not proving its correctness, at least
satisfying their minds that the reasoning
is incorrect. rS;
TO the east ard south OF the Perkins
homo are the city dumps. On either
place there Is sufficient poison 10 XIII
an entire family. The refuge Of the city
is thrown from tho carts on the places
and a child would naturally pick up any
thing found to eat. In great many
Instances grocers throw away boxes OF
cakes that have spoiled and other dccayed
matter Is piled on the dumps. The testt-
mony before the coroncr's jury was TO
tho effect that one Of the children, at
least. had often visited the dunn and
ga,he y M pretty glasses, pieces OF
laces. etc.
II crime there was. has been the sole
obstacle In the path Of the authorities.
Every conceivable hypothesis has been
weighed: every idea suggested traced TO
liz source, and all the skill of years OF
experience bent towards unravcling the
mystery; but OF no avail nave been the
united efforts OF the newspapers, the de-
tcstives and the coroner's jury. Nothin.
has been skipped over that could possibly
throw any additional light upon the dark
mystery, and still the detectives know no
more than has been published.
SIN 1869 q negro was hanged In Rich
mond for poisoning said Captain Tom-
lInson yesterday afternoon. Had he not
have confessed the crime would In all
likelihood never been fastened at his door.
A poisoning case is the worst that wa
have TO deal with.3 Next to this is a casa
Of arson It is hard TO prove arson.
but 1t is yet harder to fasten tho guilt
upon one who has poisoned some ono.
And Inthis case the absence OF motive
battles us
at must have been an accident" said
the chief of police. No one had any
cause to poison the children. But, and
his brows knit with the puzzilng problem.
There arc some things about 1t that I
can't explain And thus the Perklns
poisoning stands.
