The "YeII-Oh" Man
And One Of His WAYS

To cali a man a liar seems rude, so |
we will let the reader select his own
term.
Come time ago the Manager Of col
ier's Weekly" got very cross with US |
because wa would rot continue 10 ad- |
vertise IN his paper.
We have occasionally been attacked
by editors who have tried TO force US TO |
advertise in their papers at their own
prices, and, on their own conditions.
Falling IN which We were to be attacked
through their editorial columns. The

Golfers was a wild cat Of the sin

with curdled gray matter, but il seems
strange that the owners WOULD descend

be easily understood that many proni-
nent physicians dislike to have their
names made public IN reference to any
article whatsoever; they have their
own reasons, and We respect those
! reasons, but we never make mention of
| endorsements unless we have the actual
| endorsement. and that statement we
| viii back with any amount Of money
called for.
When a journal wilfully prostitutes

1 manufacture in an effort 10 force him
TO advertise. It is time the public knew

| lier's weekly cannot force money from
US by such methods.
