DEMORAL'zIfC USE
 OF GREAT WEALTH Haunting It in the Public Eyes Leads to
 Trouble. A CAUSE FOR HATRED. The Poor Led to Adopt Op- pressive Initiative
 Practices.

Chautauqua, N, Y, July Wealth often ostentatiously used, whether for luxury or charity, was vigorously de- nounced by Mrs. J. c. Phelps Stokes, wife of the New York millionaire So- cialist, in an address on ostentatious wealth and the social unrest, at the Chautauqua Assembly Wednesday.
 In answer to Col. S. H. Church. who presented the favorable side, Mrs. Stokes asserted that the prodigal ex- hibition of wealth is one of the great causes of class hatred and friction be- tween rich and poor. Not only was Haunting of wealth said to be a great ground for grievance on the part of the poor against the rich, but the poor are led to ostentation which they can only fail to attempt to maintain.
 Not only was the exhibition of great wealth scored for its evil results, but the methods used by the rich in ob- taining their great wealth were sound ly denounced. Vitriolic criticism of os- tentatious charity was also given.
 "Ostentation rouses the sense of op- pression among those who know them selves despoiled," said Mrs. Stokes, land causes that feeling on the part of many who are poor which leads them as the rich to regard adornment and the means for it's enjoyment as more important than honest life, thus leading many also to be guided rather by desire for qualification and indul- gence than by consideration of what is just and fair and advantageous to all concerned, and separating the indi- vidual from the social whole, develop ing selfishness and laying the founda- ton for later bitterness and ill-wiu.

HOW TO ADVERTISE
EFFECTIVE METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
aeneraIities Are Meaningless to the
Public-Why the Mail-order Man
Wins-Try the Plan.

If you, Mr.. Merchant, would compete
with the mailorder houses there are
three main essentials to success-the
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, but in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver-
Using, or what he does do is not effec-
tive q the same way that the mail
order mans advertising is effective.
The writing of effective advertising
is not an art, it is not a business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need.
