Pays TO Advertise

A representative OF one of the largest
mail order houses in Chicago recently
gave his experience to a meeting OF
newspaper men. He said that the mail
order business depended entirely on ad-
vertising, and made one remark in par
ticular that merchants should heed,
stating that the mail order people took
the local papers and directed their
special efforts to communities where
the merchants are not up to date adver-
tisers. If it was found that any line ot
business in any town or city was not
well vertised-furniture for instance,
he said they flooded that territory with
literature and always with satisfactory
results. He believed that country mer-
chants could greatly cripple the mail
order business if they would advertise
freely and in the right manner; that
every article to be sold should be min
utely described in the advertisement,
and prices quoted. As general prop
osition, he thought that such advertis-
ing as failed to quote prices was useless.
Here is food for thought for merchants
who feel the effect of mail order houses.

surgery as a Check ON Insanity

The legislative committee of the Wis
eonsin state Legislature, which has been
investigating the asylums in that state
during the last two weeks, is to recon-
mend the sterilization of chronic insane
and hopelessly feeble minded persons.
The commit, e believes that this is the
best means of protecting society against
the increase of insane, weak minded
and degenerate persons, who seem to
be multiplying at greater ratio than
the population of the state. DR.. James
H. Noble of Eau Claire, graduate of
Hahneman Medical College of Chicago,
