ADVERTISING CHAT

The merchant who hasn't push and
ernergy enough to advertise and build
up his business loses nothing in
dying.
"The devil filters when men argue"
and when you talk about your COM
petitor in your adYs.
Every woman is a statisticlan when
it comes to reading figures in an
advertisement.
Advertising is like going fishing
its fun when you get something
but if you don't, it's
1t does not follow that a man is a
good advertiser because he has writ
ten two three good trade pulling advs.
1t is all-the-year-boy that builds the
reputation.
The most acceptable gift to some
merchants, would be the money they
have spent for scheme advertising
up to the time of going to press, no
such present has been reported.
When dog itches he scratches
when you have something to say, say
it, and use the space that it requires.
A small fortune and huge ambition
are not good mates in advertising.
A sharp knife is a dangerous thing
so is sharp adv.
The advertiser that pays is the one
that tells what the customer wants to
know.
Don't count your eggs until they are
hatched--don't advertise your goods
until you get them.
Fake advertising is like the Garden
of Eden--the serpents lurk therein.
You can't tell from the looks of
toad how far he will jump, neither
can you tell how far teaching is an
Even poor adds are like pins
they have their good points.
Everybody's business is nobody's
buSiness-a good deal Of advertising
preparation comes under this rule,
and it shows it,
The efforts of some advertisers are
a good deal like feeling rheumatism in
your joints, painful.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause OF Your Troubles
Grand Rapids Citizen Shows How to
Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness: when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles Or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Grand Rapids
people testify to permanent cures.
E. II. Chapman, living corner,
Wisconsin and Ninth ST., N, Grand
Rapids, Wis, says: II suffered with
a dull nagging backache and sharp
shooting pains across my loins for a
time. II | attempted to st0op or lift
anything, sharp pains would pass
through my body and | felt miserable.
| had severe headaches and pains in
the back of my head, and when |
arose in the morning felt tired and
linguid, and had no ambition to do
my work. My kidneys were disordered
and the secretiOns gave ME great an
nOyance. | read of Doan's Kidney
Pills and concluding to give them a
trial, procured box. | was relieved
of the trouble in short time and am
glad to recommend Doan'S Kidney

The Mother of Trusts.

The Chicago Journal thinks that the
greatest era of railroad building in the
worlds history is pending in most
countries of the world and that our
steel trust dominates the situation by
reason of the tariff; 1t calls this the
mother Of trusts. 1t goes on to say:
THE Standard Oil company brushes
competitors by selling below cost of
production in one locality and over
charging consumers In another. The
same rule is followed by all other
trusts that deal in the commodities
of everyday life. That is, the tariff
schedules that give them monopoly
against foreign competition give them
also the power to crush home compe-
tition.
mo plan of tariff revision will meet
the approval of the American peo-
pie that does not strike down the pow.
er to use the tariff for the creation of
%monopolies In daily necessities. The
principle of protection to infant In.
dustries, which is the present tariffs
theoretical basis, is burlesqued by
great trusts that extract their annual
millions from the pockets of over,
;isarged consumers"
