MiIIers War on Health Food.

The millers of the country are
up in arms against the makers OF
breakfast foods and lively war, back
ed by a 100000 advertising fund, is
likely to be launched by the Millers'
National federation. The point at is
sue is the statement commonly made
by the health food men that white
-four is harmful. Secretary Goetz-
mann recommended immediate meas
ures to counteract the claims of the op-
position. The day was devoted to
consideration of the troubles of the
milling industry and remedy" 1t
was agreed that there is large over
production in the industry.

Vanderbilt's Colt Won the Grand Prlx

Thousands of Americans Sunday
saw William X. Vanderbilt's bay
colt Northeast, with j. Childs up,
capture the Grand PriX de Paris, the
blue ribbon event of the French turf,
which this year was worth about $72,-
900.
Beautiful weather favored the rum
ming of this classic and fully 100000
persons gathered at Longchamps to
witness the race, which marked the
close of the Paris season, among them
President Fallieres and the members
of his cabinet. Mr.. Vanderbilt was
given an ovation and was escorted to
the presidential lodge, where he was
warmly congratulated by NJ. Fallieres.
The race was a stirring one from
start to finish, Northeast winning by
only a scant head from his half-sister
Sauge Pourpres, owned by Count
Lemarois. The Americans made a
killing on Vanderbilts victory, as the
odds were 10 to 1, the public losing
faith in Mr.. Vanderbilt's chances when
Seasick II was withdrawn after his
bad showing in the English Derby.
The favorites, Madeah, Grill Room
and Quintette, finished in the ruck.

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER TRADE
Right Kind Of Advertising Brings In
the Customers and Builds Up
Business.

Merchants who get out and present
their lines in the right way are going
to capture the trade. Questions that
the retailers should ask themselves,
are: What am doing in the way of
advertising? Have l the right kind
of space in my home paper? Have
the proper style of copy? Have
spoken to the printer about getting
up the, advertisement tastefully and
with border, ETC., and in the right
kind of type?
Spring goods should be in show win
dows now, and much of all that Is
ready for the buyers.
If the merchant uses a page or a
half page in the local paper, he should
have the printer lift the form and run
OF thousand or more handbills that
can be circulated about the country.
No use in doing this unless 1t Is the
right kind Of advertising. No USE in

Merchants should consider we'll all
phases of any proposition that will
eventually work to their detriment.
Year after year conditions are chang.

becoming little more tightened.
There is bound to be reaction. Re.
bates in the way of railroad rates, in
the way Of trade in general, are being
pretty well aired by the government
The time is not far distant when the
interests of the consumers and the re-

For the carrying out of these purposes
there is necessity for stringent action

ness. Give prices, and tell how low
the prices are and how good the goods
are. The advertisement should be 40
divided as to give space to different
kinds of goods. and some good illustra-
tions, and some prices that will talk,
so when the prospective buyers come
they will not be disappointed. Mer-
chants should see that clerks don't lie,
don't misrepresent, and that they treat
every caller courteously. See that de-
liveries of goods are promptly made,
and that In each package there goes
out circular telling of other bargains.
Now should be the merchants harvest

poets to spend a goodly share of 1t.

a player who cannot carry on his or her
description must give way to the next play

If played with promptness and spirit this
game will afford much amusement and at the

the two difficult letters 'K' and 20" are

in playing this way, points 2, 8, and 8 may
be dropped, as they are more difficult to
