How to Write Retail
Advertising Copy
By Herbert kaufman.

words-they fit into more minds than big
phrases.
The simpler the language the greater
certainty that it will be understood by the least
intelligent reader.
The construction engineer plans his road
bed where there is minimum of grade-he
works along the lines of least resistance.
The advertisement which runs into noun
famous style is badly surveyed-all minds are
not built for high level thinking.
Advertising must be simple When it is
tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary
expression it looks as much out of place as a
ball dress at the breakfast table
The buying public is only interested in
facts. People read advertisements to find out
what you have to sell.
The advertiser who can fire the most facts
in the shortest time gets the most returns.
Blank cartridges make noise but they do not
hit-blank talk, however clever, is only wasted
space.
You force your statesmen to keep to solid
facts-you don't allow them to sell muslin
with quotations from Omar or trousers with
excerpts from Maize Coreli You must not
tolerate in your printed selling talk anything
that you are not willing to countenance to per-
sonal craftsmanship.
Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted
to the sacrifice of clear explanations write
copy as you talk. Only be more brief. Pub
licity is costlier than conversation (ranging in
price downward from 5000 line -talk is
not cheap, but the most expensive commodity
in the world
Sketch in your ad to the stenographer
Then you will be so busy saying it that you
will not have time to bother about the gew
gaws of writing. Afterward take the type
written manuscript and cut out every word and
every line that can be erased without emitting
an important detail. What remains in the end
is all that really counted in the beginning.
Cultivate brevity and simplicity. "Savon
Francois may look smarter, but more people
will understand French Soap" Sir Isaac
Newtons explanation of gravitation covers six
pages, but the school boys terse and homely
What goes up must come down. clinches the
whole thing in Six words.
Indefinite talk wastes space 1t is not
lOOso productive. The copy that omits prices
sacrifices half its pulling power-it has a
tendency to bring lockers instead of buyers
ltoften creates false impressions. Some people
are bound to conceive the idea that the goods
are higher priced than in reality-others. by
the same token, are just as likely to infer that
the prices are lower and 60 away thinking that
you have exaggerated your statements.
The reader must be searched out by the
copy. Big space is cheapest because it doesn't
waste single eye. Publicity must be on the
offensive
Space is comparative matter after all.

STATE MAY SEPARATE RACES
TUCKY, UPHELD BY SUPREME
COURT.

That State has power to pass a law
separating the races in matters of edu-
cation is the opinion of the United
States Supreme Court.
The court held, in the case of Berea
College versus The Commonwealth of
Kentucky, that the State has such right,
and accordingly affirmed the decision
of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky,
under which Berea College was fined
81, 600 for permitting white and negro
children to attend the same institution.
Justice Brewer rendered the decision.
He says the only question is whether
the act of the Kentucky Legislature con-
flicts with the Federal Constitution.
''The Kentucky Court of Appeals" ;"
says Justice Brewer, discussed at some
length the general power of the State
in respect to the separation of the races.
1t also ruled that the right TO teach
white and negro children in private
school at the same time and place is
not property right. Besides, appel
liant, as corporation created by this
State has no natural right to teach at
all. It's right to teach is such as the
State sees fit to give it. The State may
withhold it altogether, or quality it."
SIN creating corporation a State
may withhold powers which may be
exercised freely and cannot be denied
to an individual.
'sThat the legislature of Kentucky
desired to separate the teaching OF
white and colored children may be con-
ceded, but it by no means follows that
| it would not have enforced the separa
ton so far as it could do SO even though
| it could not make it effective under all
circumstances.
ave need concern ourselves only
with the inquiry whether the first sec
ton of the statute can be upheld as
coming within the power of State
over its own corporate creations. We
are of opinion that it does come within
that power, and on this ground affirm
the Kentucky court"
Justices Harlan and Day dissented.

French Economy.

| IA man doesn't have to go to Paris
to learn something about the economy
of French cooks" said a janitor. "All
he has to do is to get job like mine in
a house occupy mostly by French fami-
lies, and he'll learn some astonishing
lessons in the art of saving. Up to two
months ago 1 was working in a build
ing of that kind. So far as attending
to the garbage was concerned, 1 had
the easiest time of my life. There was
practically no garbage. The people
lived well enough, I guess. Anyhow
they received packages from the butch
er and grocer, but they never seemed to
throw anything away. About the only
thing they didn't eat was coffee grounds
and potato skins and tomato-cans, and
there was precious little waste of even
that.
"Where l am working now the fami-
lies are all American. That is where
the food goes to waste. The people in
that house throw away enough provi-
sions every day to feed all those French
families week San Francisco

TESTED AND PROVEN
THERE is A HEAP OF SOLACE I n BEING
ABLE TO DEPEND UPON WELL
EARNED REPUTATION.

For months Staunton readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read
about the good work they have done in
this locality. Not another remedy ever
produced such convincing proof of
merit.
T. E. Dulaney, musician, living on
Jefferson ST., Lexington, Va, says: 81
known Doan's Kidney Pill to be a
splendid kidney remedy from personal
experience. l had a severe attack of
kidney trouble, being seized with sharp
pains through my back and loins and
for two days being unable to leave my
bed or even turn over in it. When 1
did get up the pains were so intense
that l was forced to walk in stopped
position, at the same time suffering
terribly. My kidneys seemed to be
contested and felt like two hard Jumps
in my back. The secretions from these
organs were also terribly disOrdered
and very scanty. AT last 1 decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured
box. After using the contents great
improvement was noticeable in my
condition, and l continued using them
until l was improved in every way. L
am still taking Doan's Kidney Pills
and cannot say too much in their
praise"
