Advertising as an Investment.

There are In every community busi- :
ness men who think that taking ad-
vertising space is an act of. patriotism.
OF condescension towards a news
paper. They do not realize nor take
into consideration that 1t is strictly a
business proposition. and that they
viii be materially benefited thereby.
Again. some who go at advertising
spasmodicaily get discouraged be-
cause they do not have a regular ava
lanche OF returns within a short while,
and then declare that advertising is a
humbug. The successful busnc IS
man advertises regularly. changes
copy often enough to keep the public
looking out for bargains. and always
puts In an ad that's catchy and worth

Tilt EDDY TRUSTEES
 SCORE ONE POINT
They Get an lntimation From the Court That Mrs. Eddy's State of Mind will Be Inquired Into.

Concord. June 10.-The defendants iT the suit brought by the next friends of Mrs. Eddy. the aged head of the Christian Science denomination. ask ing for an accounting of Mrs. Eddy's property, were successful in carrying their point today when Judge Cham berlain of the superior court. an nounced that he would within a week appoint a master to conduct hearings and take testimony to determine whether Mrs. Eddy is competent to manage her own affairs.
 shortly after Attorney Streetor. who represented both trustees of Mrs. Eddy. had begun his address he an nounced that he would agree to an immediate settlement of the matter of Mrs. Eddy's competency inasmuch as he understood the court wished that phase of the case disposed of. The feature of the proceedings was the declaration of Streeter that the suit for an accounting was not brought by the son George w. Glover. and others who appear as next friends" but was instituted "at the instigation of New York newspaper which has been try ing to discredit Mrs. Eddy and her religious teachings"

THE PERSECUTION OF COL
 AIRES.

The statement of Lieutenant Colonel Ayres of West Point, that he incurred the enmity of the military academy author ities for himself and his wife. by his friendship for General Leonard quarters as a very transparent at tempt to put himself in a most favor able position with a gentleman of some influence in army circles.
 It it perhaps a fact that many reg ular army officers do not feel friendly toward General Wood who they think should have kept on the de- structiye career in which he had set out: that he should have continued to depopulate the earth by means of pills, poultices and sur gical instruments leaving such de- structive engines as swords and guns to those who had been regularly edu- cated in the use of them.
 They may think it was a bad day when Mir. Roosevelt took it into his head to organize the Rough Riders. make pr. Wood the colonel of the regiment and himself the lieuten- ant colonel; that it was a still worse day when Lieutenant Colonel Roose- welt attained a position in which he could advance his old commander re- gardless of numbers.
 But what ever sentiment the West Point officials may entertain toward General Wood no body will believe that they would make Col. Ayres' af- lection for him a punishable offense. That would be an extremely risky thing to do.
 The trouble seems to have been that Mrs. Ayres iabors under the delusion that she Is related to the United States army by marriage and that the regu- lstions at the Point do not please her.
 The academy authorities complain that the presence of Mrs. Ayres about the campus tended to destroy the dis cipline of the institution. However that may be there appears to be plenty of discipline in the Ayres family with Mrs. Ayres as chief disciplinarian.
 At the height of his career Frederick the Great had learned by exeprience to choose for his advisors only unmar- ried men. In his opinion no man could serve two masters faithfully. For years though, he permitted one married man of proved merit to fill an important of- flee but he neglected no opportunity to remind him that the first sign that his loyalty to Prussia was being inn paired by his loyalty to his wife. his public career would end.

AGE LIMIT IS RAISED.

The authorities of the Pennsylvania Railroad have made an import ant change of policy in the matter of the employment of men. Heretofore it has been an inflexible rule on that system that men entering its service must not be over s years of age. At the annual meeting of stockholders, held at Pitts burg last week, it was voted to in- crease the age limit ten years. and hereafter candidates for positions who are otherwise acceptable will be em- ployed, even if 45 years of age. The decision is in line with the prevailing impression that man is usually fairly in his prime at the age of 45 years. It was found that the company was losing the services of valuable men. simply because those men had passed the imaginary dead line of 8. The facetious dictum of pr. Osler has had mischievous results. other than in the railway service.
