THE Value OF SPACE

Perhaps there is no more diflicnl,
problem in the world OF business than to
arrive at fair Judgment Of the adver :
Using value of space in newspaper. In
the nature Of things. says Manly Gillian,
in the New York Herald, this value can
not be definitely measured as are yards
cloth or bushels Of wheat or pounds III
coal.
1t is as intangible as is the something
that lifts great picture above the level
OF mere paintir g. The canvas of each
may be alike, the coIors from the same
tubes laid on by the same brushes, yet
the result may have q market value OF
500 900 square foot as u Meiss, nier or
OF s. square yard as hack work.
Circulation is often the only claim to
an advertisers attention that a news.
paper presents. But circulation alone is
far from being all in all.
There must be circulation or there can
be no advertising value. TIE m IRE cir
culation there is the better for the ad.
ve'tiser-if the right people ale reached
by it in the right way.
And there the problem appears. Who
reads the newspaper is vastly more i'm

than how many read it.
Deadhead circulation is well nigh val.

So is Stun circulation. 9 cept for the

ways out Of harmony with the established

A newspaper that panders to these

whether they count by the thousands,

FLOWER.DEATH,

Edith M. Thomas In the March
Century.
The flowers--how many years I've
seen them die
Their little hour of splendor being
done.
They fold their listless petals from
the sun,
And breath into the air their passing
sigh.
Dear were they ever-when,, beneath
the eye
OF Morning. their sweet service
was begun;
And when their hour of beauty was
outrun.
Dear were they. in their mysteic
passing by.
Dear yet; but now. a subtle pain has
won
A path Into my heart--ah, tell me
why?
lsit because, as human seasons fly,
Their lovely peers, that In life's gar
den shone,
Have bent their looks forever from
the sky? ="
The fiowers-how many years I've
seen them die!

BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN.
Criticism Of the Gentle Sex Evidently
Written by Bachelor.

She will save and scrimp on the
laundry bills. and haggle with the
butcher, and make over her last years
hat, and rhep-she will take all the
wealth she has amassed by this painful
process and stuff 1t into fiimsy chate-
laine bag with u weak clasp and walk
serenely down among the 40 thieves
of Broadway says the New York
Press.
She will spend hours writing long
letter. imploring an answer by return
mail. and then--she will post 1t with
out stamp and without having once
mentioned her address.
She will stand before the mirror for
20 minutes putting her hat on at eX-
actly the right angle and will suffer
tortures at the sight of picture that
hangs crooked, or a sofa pillow that
is turned the wrong way or chair
| that is out OF place, and then-she
will sign thousand dollar check up
side down.
She will waste fortune at the
masseuses having her flesh reduced
and will walk and bant and exercise
herself into nervous hysteria, and then
she will go home and eat enough
chocolate fudge to give strong man
fatty degeneration of the chin.
She will cut a woman she dislikes
dead in the street and talk about her
to the whole community. and then
she will go straight home and wear
her fingers out trying to make her
hat over like that same womans.
She will go without lot of things
she really wants, and mend her old
clothes until they drop to pieces. and
then--she will spend the money she
has thus saved on pink and gilt an
gel for the parlor mantel.
She will trot around in the rain
hunting for three-quarters of yard Of
ribbon or new patent hairpin until
she Is exhausted. running her best
clothes and wearing her shoes and her
nerves to tatters, and then--come
home and weep because the dampness
has taken the wave out of her fifty

FREE ANTIToxIN AGAIN.

Dr.. Frank Crowther has hit a pop
ular chord in introducing the free
antitoxin bill in It's original form.
DR.. Frank Henry is the real father
of the bill, having first introduced 1t
when he was in the assembly. The
antitoxin trust got busy, however,
and the measure was made useless
and finally disappeared. DR.. Henry
made second attempt TO pass the
bill, but failed again. His agitation
in Its favor, however, won many
friends and 1t was impossible for the
matter to die altogether Free anti
toxin Is in the interest of humanity.
Many lives have been lost because the
serum has not been used in sufficient
quantities, and the reason 1t has not
been so used is the exhorbitant price
maintained by the monopoly 1t has
been shown that antitoxin can be
manufactured at moderate cost and
the state is only following the prece-
dent set by sister states in manufac-
turing IT, DR.. Crowther's bill
should pass.
