SLANG in Advertising.

Some Of our most conscientiou COM
petitors have been commenting on
the amount OF slang used in our last
week g advertisement in this paper,
and for the benefit of ourselves and
the publishers we have had this
advertisement republished in this
issue on the first page, and we ask the
public to read this over carefully and
Judge for themselves as to the amount
of slang used or misused. "Slang in
advertising" may be ingram :
NAUTICAL and against the common laws
OF etiquette, but there is sometimes a
word in 'slang" that may be used
to give better expression, that comes
nearer filling the want Of the writer,
and which covers more ground
than any word that can be found in
common English.

A Curse Reversed.

The New York Evening Mail has
the following comment upon the de-
naturization of alcohol;
By the free alcohol bill passed by
the house, deadly curse will be turn
ed into an incalculable public bless
ing. 1t has been a hard question
hitherto to answer: why did the
Almighty put Alcohol into every
thing that grows, to poison and mad
der the human racer" But it will be
answered completely when cheap al
cohol, forever, rendered incapable
of working mischief to men, turns
the wheels OF Industry and warns and
Eliminates the houses Of the people.
"Denaturized" alcohol is alcohol
made undrinkable and uncomfortable
in beverages, when not devoted to an
industrial progress.
In his remarks favoring this bill,
before the committee on ways and
means, Secretary Wilson explained
how the soil could be made to produce
In alcohol all the fuel the country
needed, and added:
1.-THE northern states could readily
depend upon the white potato as 9
source of heat and light, the southern
states upon the yam and the sweet
potato and the western states upon
| the sugar beet ** y The average
amount of sugar and starch which
goes to waste in the stalks of Indiar
corn annually would make 100 gallons
OF commercial alcohol per acre. Wher
we consider that the number Of acres
of Indian corn is approximately 100,-
600, Oo0 it is seen that the quantity Of
alcohol that is lost ip the stalks is 81
large as to be almost beyond the grasl
of our conception.

grave, for it helps to prove that littl

wreck of west-bound freight train on

west of here at six o'clock a. m. Thurs
day has resulted in the loss of two
lives and thousands of dollars of prop

entire train left the track, demolish-
ing many cars and totally wrecking
the engine.

Immediately hurried to the scene Of
| the wreck, and the sheriff's deputies
and the coroner are working together

The west end of the switch was also

west bound train.
The injured men were taken to
