sCHAFFER BOUND OVER
Man Brought Back from Colorado Held
to Circuit Court for Trial

Man Brought Back from Colorado Held
to Circuit Court for Trial
Ohme Schaffer, arrested recently
at Longmount, Colorado, on charges,
brought by his wife, was arraigned
before Justice McCarron late Thurs.
day afternoon on a charge of wife
abandonment. He waived examina-
ton on the charge and was held to
the Circuit Court in bonds of $500. He
furnished bail and was Immediately
released. 1t is said that there is a
strong probability that reconciliation
will be effected between Mr.. and Mrs.
Schaffer and that the charges against
the barber will never be brought to
the notice of the Circuit Court.
Schaffer is now living with his wife
and she seems to be perfectly willing
to forgive and forget the past and
start life over again. The hearing of
the charges against Schaffer will not
come up until the March term of the
Circuit Court.

The Farmers wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
1t a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning Of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the disSem-
ination of disease throughout the body.

START WORK AT ONCE
Superintendent of Water Com.
pany Authorized to Begin
Work on New Intake
NOT READY FOR BOND ISSUE

At the regular meeting of the Board
of Water Commissioners held at the
City Hall on Thursday afternoon the
members of the Commission instruct
ed the superintendent, r. H. Moth, to
proceed at once with the preliminary
work for the building of a new intake
Tor the kenosha Water Company.
Mr.. Moth was also authorized to en-
ploy divers and consulting engineer,
II ne deemed such step necessary,
IN order to get the work of making
plans completed as soon as possible.
before any plans are made it will be
necessary to have divers make sound
ings IN the lake off the pump house
IN order to determine the exact con-
dition of the water and select the best
place for the location of the intake.
Superintendent Moth is of the opinion
that the best plan will be to extend
the intake straight east from the
pump house. but this plan can not be
adopted until after the soundings have
been made. There was a general dis
cussion of the plans for the new in
take and it was generally agreed that
the intake should not be less than
5000 feet in length and it is possible
that it will be longer. The matter of
the cost of the intake was also dis.
cussed, and it was settled that the
cost would not be less than $1,000,
and it may be considerable in excess
of this amount.
City Attorney John G. Slater, to
whom the question of issuing bonds
had been referred by the City Council
and the members of the Commission,
was present at the NEE ting and stated
that he would be ready to take up this
matter just as soon as the Commission
had rea ched some agreement as to the
amount of money that would be
needed. 1t is feared that the present
time would be poor time to offer
municipal securities to the bond
houses on account of the shorta.re of
ready money, and it is possible that
in order to get the best results from
the sale Of the bonds, the time for the
building of the intake will have to be
extended for another year The mem
bers of the Commission will make
every possible effort to have the work
on the intake started this year and if
possible completed. i

Mr.. MacLennan said:
"Mr President and Advertisers:
81 was greatly interested in Mr..
Streets paper, and I think it is just
such practical papers before this club
that will bring good results-in the
newspaper business and in the adver-
Using business through the newspa-
perS.
"It seems to me that il advertising
pays at all 1t will pay regardless of
seasons. I see no reason why if adj
vertising pays in winter it will not pay
in the summer time, although all
newspapers recognize that the sum-
mer months are dull in the advertis-
ing columns.
my theory about advertising is that
all advertising should be truthful; that
the main point in an advertisement
should be the effort to present to the
reader some facts that he ought to
know. If merchant has a piece of
merchandise to offer at a price which
he thinks is of great advantage to his
customers to buy, 1 see no reason why
he should not advertise it in summer
as well as in the winter. It seems to
me that there is no reason why sum-
mer advertising should not be profit
able. for at that season it is generally
accepted that there are more bargains.
Now, it has been my pleasure to meet
a great many men who handle large
appropriations of money for advertis-

each day for a week and found him a

very broad ideas on advertising. At

years ago, the Gimble Brothers were
spending 100000 a year for newspaper
advertising, mainly in daily newspa-
pers. When you stop to think that

vertising you can readily see the mag

department stores in the cities.

at that time Mr.. La Fetra was placing
about 100000 a year; and the new
people said, why not save this money
for the years advertising, drop out for
twelve months and declare a special
dividend and went on to say that
Royal had been advertising FOR long
time and by dropping out for that
time would not impair its prestige Mr..

save several hundred thousand doll

pointed out that there would be just
the same result as in the celebrated
case of st. Jacobs Oil.

familiar with the name of ST. Jacobs
Oil-and may be no one here who
buys it: The facts are that about
twenty years ago it had an enormous
sale, and it was one of the biggest adj

business. They were the most prompt
people on our list to pay for their ad-
vertising. But new people got into
the ST. Jacobs Oil business and they
wanted to save the appropriation for
advertising, and did save it, but they
never regained the lost business that
resulted, nor did they ever regain
their prestige. The people began to
use Omega Oil, Chamberlain Lini-

last night by Officer Bryant. Duffy
Philadelphia last October and was
sent to Fort Wingate, N. M. He had
given his age to the recruiting officer
as "a years. he said. when in reality
he was only 10 years old. His folks
in Philadelphia notified the army
officer of the deception and Duffy de-
clares that the commander at Fort

honorable discharge from the army.
He says he was on his way home to
Philadelphia when picked up by the
Topeka officer. Duffy claims that 1t

all because he wanted to be soldier

I'm referring again to Mr.. Jones. who
think is the best advertising man 1
have ever met, the most practical adj
vertiser, and the one that gets the big
gest results. He told me that the fixed
policy of his firm is to spend 4 per cent
of the gross amount of business in adj
vertising.. He said his brother, Law
ence NJ, who manages another depart
ment of the store, Mr.. Jones himself
paying personal attention to the adver-
Using though corps of assistants,
often came to him and said they were
spending enormous sums for advertis-
ing and that it ought to be cut down.
Mr.: J: Logan Jones said he did not
regard this as an expense, but as an
investment, paying big returns. He
said to his brother, We are still only
spending 4 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts, the same percentage as last
year and the year before, and if the
advertising bills are increasing it is
only because the business itself is in
creasing.'
And that is all that there is to ad-
vertising.
"He always convinced his brother
until his brother forgot it and brought
the matter up again. The Jones peo-
pies are today spending more money
for advertising than ever before.
think Mr. Street, who read the excel
lent paper here this afternoon on adj
vertising, will bear me out in this
statement for he was with the Jones
Dry Goods company long time"
