How Alexander United
the Knot.
By Herbert Kaufman.
Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian
Knot. ''It can't be united" they told him; '.every
who tried to do it fell down. -
But Alexander was not discouraged because the
rest had funked. He simply realized that he would
have to go at it in different way. And instead Of
wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and
sl1shed it apart
Every day great business general is shown some
knot which has proven too much for his competitors
and he succeeds because he finds way to cut it. The
fbler has no show so long as there is brother er
chant who doesn't waste time trying to accomplish
the impossible-who takes lessons from the failures
about him and avoids the methods which were their
downfall.
The knottiest problems in trade are
The problem Of location.
2-7he problem Of getting the crospds.
3-7he problem Of keeping the crosods.
THE problem of minimizing fixed expenses.
5-7he problem Of creating valuable good s0iN
None of these knots is going to be united by fun
bling fingers They are too complicated. They're all
involved together-twsted and entangled over and
about each other-so intertwined that they can't be
solved sing1y-like the Gordan Knot teyns be
through at stroke. And you cant cut the knot
with any sword except the newspaper-because:
IA store that is constantly before the people
makes its neighborhood.
2Crosuds can Be brought from anywhere b.
daily advertising.
3-Custon,ers can aluays be held BY induce
nsents.
4Fixed expenses can only be reduced BY in-
creasing the Uolune of sales.
5-Cood wiu can ony be created through pub
Ecity.
Advertising is breeding new giants every year and
making them powerful every hour. Publicity is
the sustaining food of poerfnl store and the only
strengthening nourishment for ueak one. The re-
taller who delays his entry into advertising must pay
the penalty of his procrastnation by facing giant
competitors as every month of opportunity slips by.
Personal ablityas close purchaser and as clever
seller doesn't count for hang SO long other
equally well posted and wear the sword Of publicity to
boot They able tie your business into constantly
closer knots while you cannot retaate because there is
knot which their advertising cannot cut for them
Yesterday you lost customer-today they took
one-tomorrow they'll get another. You cannot cope
with their competition because you haven't the weapon
with which to oppose it. You can't unite Your Gordan
Knot because it can't be united got to CIT it.
You must become advertiser you must pay
the penalty of incompetence.
You not only require the newspaper to fight for .
more hopeful ton.oyyoU but to keep todays situation
from becoming hopeless

RETARDS Old AGE
BY ELECTRICITY
Doctor Prevents Hardening of
Arteries by Applying Oseil-
iatlng Currents. -=@

New York. Special: Old age can be re-
tarded. says DR.. Samuel G.. Tracy, of New
York City. IN the. New York Medical
Times. 1t Is the arteries that first show
the symptoms of premature sen1lity; when
their walls lose their elasticity a man is
growing old. The cause Of the harden. ng
of the arteries Is an impure condition of
the blood, which may be due TO opereating
or excessive drinking of alcohol.
The organs which preside over the elimi-
nation OF waste material being oTcrWorked
leave some OF the waste TO Gow into the
blood, where 1t weakens and, makes brittle
the artery walls by depos.ting Line IN the
blood channels. In this condition of the
arteries strong emotions may cause a sud-
don strain, which. resulting In the burst
Ing of a blood vessel, proves fatal.
The treatment which retards this hard
ening process consists of frequent electric
currents. which DR.. Tracy applies by using
a Hyfrex coil, bombard.ng the patient
with millions of oscillations per second.
Half an hour of this fusillade will reduce
the blood pressure and raise the tcmpera-
ture 90 per cent.
BY the electric stimulus the system Is
energized. the blood made to circulate
equally, the digestion aided, the waste
products are properly eliminated, the re-
pair Of tissues Is assisted and the normal
working OF the bodily functions restored.
This treatment must, however. be Sec
onded by strict attention to diet and
hygiene. Old men need only four-tifths
as much food as those In the prime OF
life. They should eat little at a tine.
masticaung it thoroughly. Dr. Tracy
| says tea. coffee and alcohol should never
be taken by those whose arteries are
hardened. as they cause angina pec,or.s,
apoplexy and kidney diseases. Fresh air
is an essential, but draughts must be
avoided. Colds are due not to fresh air.
but to faulty circulation of the skin and
to congestion of the internal organs.
Regular and varied walking exercise, the
| physician says, is just as necessary for
the old as for the young.

Several years ago when the elevator
was first put in the capital at Rich

the sense Of humor Of the then Cover

machine would work. He was a close
friend Of Judge Samuel B., Witt. Of
the Hastings court.
Judge Witt was holding court h
day the elevator was completed. and
he was called to the telephone BY Cow

Sam said the governor, Z want to

Just Missed Johnstown Flood.

A director of western railroad
was going east OH company business
in the spring of 1889, and before leav.
ing his wife had one of those strange
warnings which are supposed to give
notice Of approaching catastrophe
Mrs. Director begged her husband not
to go, but, Of course, he had to attend
to his duties. The night before he left
the woman dreamed that her hus.
bands life was endangered by water
the details of the dream, however, oc
curing on the ocean, and she made
him promise not to go near the ocean
or on any water while he was in tina
east.
Her husband promised and fulfilled
his promise, bat the morning after he
left his wife read in the paper the
first news of the Johnstown flood. OF
course then she knew why it was she
had feared for her husbands safety
and why it was she had been warned
that he was in danger from water. For
a time she was half craZed with grief
then she received telegram from her
husband telling of his safe arrival, for
it appeared that he had been on one
of the trains that had gone through

DEAD MAN STOPPED TRAIN.
Was Hanging from Bridge In the Path
of the Locomotive.

Seeing a man apparently clinging to
the bridge over the Pocahontas cut, at
One Hundred and Forty-second street,
the engine driver of a New Haven
freight train blew Els whistle several
times and damned on the air brakes,
says the New York Times. He brought
the train to a sudden stop within a
dozen feet of the man, and, stepping
out on the running board along the
boiler Of the engine, called out to the
man that he would run his train slowly
under him and he could drop on one
of the cars
Receiving no response, the engine
driver was about to climb up the bank
and get out on the bridge when Police.
man Stockinger appeared. He
fastened out on the bridge, and, lean
ing over the edge, saw that the man
was dead and that he was suspended
by piece of clothesline
Marks on the bridge showed that
the man had lain down on the path
while he tied the rope around the
water pipe beneath the structure and
then around his neck before he slid
between the beams of the handrail
and rolled over to death The train
was pulled up about so yards, and
when one of the box cars was under

CONCERNING UNCLE JOE"

Last week one Of the ablest and
best liked Republican members Of
congress, j. Adam Bede, Of the Eighth
Minnesota district, was defeated for
denomination by members Of his own
party because he declared himself I'M
finchingly in favor of the reelection
as speaker Of Joe Cannon. This seems
to be fair indication of Republican
sentiment concerning the car Of the
lower house of congress. Golfers
Weekly, which so far as it has any
policy, is certainly friendly to the Re-
publican party, denounces Cannon un-
reservedly and last week printed a
communication in which it was said
that if Taft and Sherman were elected
the long arm of the speaker would
reach from the house end of the capt
toll to the senate and make the puppet
Sherman do the bidding of the auto
crat in the speakers chair.
President Roosevelt, in 1891, said Of
Cannon: "We cannot escape from the
fact that it was no credit to the Re-
publican party Of the house that Mr..
Cannon Of Illinois should be one Of
it's leaders," Cannon then was tenn
porarily out Of Office, the only time
he has been out of Office in thirty
five years. Among all the prominent
Republicans there is none upon whom
the country looks with so much hest
fancy and doubt. His face is always
set against any measure for the good
of the people, his power is invariably
eserted for those measures that are
demanded by the great interests.
Whether as result Of this attitude
or not, the fact remains that after
thirty-fve years Of officeholding, with
only moderate salary most of the
time, Uncle joe has grown rich, his
wealth increasing as his power in
creased He is emphatically an issue
in this campaign-not merely an issue
between the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties, but between the decent
and patriotic element and the corrupt
element which he has so long domi-
mated.

An electric incubator is the latest
device in chicken raising. When the
heat chances to go beyond the requIr>
ed temperature, the electricity is
automatically shut off and the heat
becomes less; when the desired point
is again reached, the current is auto
matically switched on once more.
In some of the Boston restaurants
the guests have lately made run
on beef stew 1t is now learned that
the delicious flavor of this form of
stew is caused by horse-meat.
No receptacle has ever been made
strong enough to resist the bursting
power of freezing water. Twenty
pound steel shells have been rent

Many people express surprise when
the statement is made that Taft will
fail to carry his own state this year,
but it is my confident opinion that
Ohio will give it's electoral vote to
Bryan and Kern" This statement
came from Ed. Mahon, a prominent
business man in Columbus, Ohio, who
called at Democratic headquarters to
arrange for the distribution of litera-
ture in the Ohio contest. 1--WE want
all the literature we can get" said
Mr.. Mahon. ''for the people are in a
very receptive mood this year 1t is
surprising to Democrats to find so
many Republicans in Mr.. Tafts own
state who are for Bryan and Kern. I
never knew the Democratic party to
be in as good shape as it is in Ohio

Democratic governor, but we are go
