WAYS TO ADVERTISE
REACHING THE PEOPLE WITH
TRUTH FoRclBLY EXPRESSED.
UTILITY OF HOME NEWSPAPERS
They Bring tho Best Results to the
Merchant When Rightly Used
Some Merit In Circulars
and Letters.

There Is advertising. and there is
advertising. One kind Is the almost
money.wasted kind. and the other OF
the class that counts The merchant
who has always placed little faith In
advertising is the one who has never
tried II In the right way. He Is the
one who places little card In the
paper. merely stating that he is
dealer In such and such goods. Ho
Is the one who is always grumbling
about business, about the ways OF
other merchants, and the trade that
goes away from the town.
IL "a all in how the advertisement
is built, both In wording and typo
graphically. and what kind OF circu-
lating medium it is placed IN. When
advertising IL Is essential THAI " adj
vertiser say something, and say that
something right TO the point IL Is
a pretty good idea 10 give prices.
Prices always appeal 10 the purchas-
Ing public. II matters not whether
they are a little lower or a little
higher than somebody else's. prices,
to give prices and preach cheapness.
quality and bargains, will attract at
tention. There never was any money
made by the small merchant In the
rural city or town that won out by ly.
ing. Lies may do for the mail-order
houses, the department store and the
cheap-John in the big city. but never
do well for the merchant In the small
town.
The merchant who builds up repu.
tation for honest goods, square deal
and prices that are right, will win.
He gets the people to think that he
is "on the square" that he Is selling
goods at honest profits. and keeps his
advertisement ever before them and
finds that it pays. The merchant who
wins must be up-to-date. He must
know about new goods, understand
the latest ideas in his particular line,
and be quick to put all good ideas into
practice
Circulars are only good as flyers
They are not supposed TO take the
place OF regular newspaper adyertis-
ing. They are shortlived, and good
only for the advertising OF kind that
can be classed as "transitory." Watch
the successful merchant and you Will
fnd that he rarely uses circulars. un-
less for placing in packages OF gooss.
This is a thing that should not be
overlooked IL is good idea TO have
a lot OF circulars advertising new
goods, specIalties. etc, and place one
in every package. This is n good way
to make announcement OF the arrival,
or the expected arrival, OF new stocks.
But circular advertising should be only
supplementary to the regular newspa-
per advertising. ID. M. CAhh.

AduIterated Goods Sent Out by Con.
Germs Who DO Mail Order Business.

Farmers who have had their curiosity
" aroused over the pure food matter
might profit by doing little thinking.
Some OF the big mail order houses are
the greatest distributors OF adulterated
goods. In fact. the claim is made that
the greatest amount OF adulterated cof
fees and the like are sold through
agents and the mail order concerns.
Lately the state chemist OF western
state has been devoting attention TO
the goods put out by mail-order con
Germs. lie secured samples OF coffee
and had them examined by one OF the
leading chemists. II was found that
one OF the chief blends" which was
sold for 35 cents pound was com
posed OF 55 per cent. broken coffee,
IA per cent. chicory and 81 per cent.
roasted oats. Oats are worth about
40 cents bushel IL requires not
much figuring TO show how much the
customers OF this blend Of coffee are
paying for their oats" There are
dozens OF concerns IN the country who
do large business through women
agents who work for premiums. and
who give cheap premiums with the
goods sold There is barely a single
one OF these concerns who handles pure
goods. There are efforts being made
now TO have the postal authorities for.

Frank S. Gruber, a machinist living
at 127 East Third street, undertook last
night to play the Good Samaritan to
fellowman in need and in the end got
the worst end of the bargain.
Gruber met a man who gave MS
name as Charles Rawlin, who stated
that he was "broke," out of work and
hungry. Gruber invited the man, who
had the appearance of a mechanic, to
take supper with him, and during the
meal Rawlin told him that he had a
good job waiting for him in BarstoW
but had no means of getting there.
Gruber was favorably impressed
with the mans appearance and talk
and volunteered to buy him a ticket
to Barstow and also to advance a
small sum of money for his expenses.
Rawlin appeared very grateful and
promised to send the money back to
Gruber out of his first pay. Gruber
purchased a ticket for the fellow at a
cost of Sc and gave him IS for ex-
penses. He left Rawlin at the depot
and a f.w minutes later when he went
to look at his watch to see If he had
time to keep an appointment found
the timepiece missing.
He reported the case to the police,
ani Detectives Murray and Mccain

Supervisor of Compulsory Education
Has Detailed Two officers to Visit

e. j. Lickley, supervisor of compul-
sorry education, is busy investigating
cases of child labor which have been
brought to his attention. Believing
that the child labor law Is being OPEN
ly violated In Los Angeles he has de-
tailed two Officers to visit various
business establishments and obtain
evidence.
One firm visited by Attendances Oni-
GERS w. e. White and ]. c. Reinhard
had in it's employ five children, none
of whom had permits to work. Tne
proprietor was ordered to comply with
the law, which he did speedily.
"The employers we are after in par
ticular," said Mr.. Lickley, "are those
who are familiar with the law and
continue to violate it. Some of them
have been arrested before and others
when notified complied with the law
temporarily. The employers of child
labor have been warned sufficiently
and we will now proceed against all
those who violate the provisions OF
the law"

STOLE BECAUSE HE WAS
HUNGRY, PRISONERS PLEA
Fred johnson, Arrested for Entering
and Robbing Home, Says He
Did So Because He
Needed Food

Because he was hungry and had no
money to buy food Is the excuse given
by Fred Johnson, who had his pre-
liminary examination before Police JUS
tice Chambers yesterday on a charge Of
burglary.
johnson is accused of having entered
the home of J. w. Banks at First
street and the Los Angeles river, Octo-
Der 5, where he is alleged to have
broken open two trunks with hay
hook and taken watch, cartridge
belt and a small sum of money. He
was seen by John Earl Banks. the 10
year-old son of the owner of the place.
The lad hurried to notify the police
and told his story to Detectives In
gram Carroll The officers chased
johnson through the railroad yards and
caught him in box car at Fourth
street.
Johnson was held to answer in the
superior court In bonds of $500. He
admitted robbing the place, but de-
clared he was prompted to do so by the
pangs of hunger.

When Mrs. w. G. Sorry. 1888 South

Jewels she was astonished to discover
it was not there.
She looked for the missing sack i'm

had unlocked the doors of her room.
She inspected the windows and doors
and found they had not been tam

of the room failed to reveal any In
dications that burglars had visited the
place.
After making careful search of the
dresser and of the room Mrs. Sorry
appeared at the police station and re.
ported her loss. The bag contained
five rings. two of which were set with
diamonds of one carat and one and
five-eighths carats each. The police
say there is no evidence of burglary
and think the woman may have mis-
placed the jewels.
