That a large number Of people are
still unacqualnted with the benefits Of
fresh air in sleeping rooms is vouched
for by the testimony Of fresh air
exerciser who tells his observations ia
the Boston Transcript as follows: "A
man in a neighboring city who has
formed habit recently Of going out
for miles sprint in the neighborhood
Of his dwelling during the earliest mo-
ments Of the cold gray dawn says there
is yet work for the cause of the open
window From morning to morning his
route Is changed somewhat, but it al
ways covers a district inhabited by the
weIi-to-do Scanning the sleeping apart
ments as he runs, he finds surprisingly
few windows open. His excursions are
taken so early that he knows the sleep
ers are not awake, and that they have
slept the night through, breathing poor
air. These are proofs, he thinks, that
many persons intelligent in most mat
tiers are still unaware Of what fresh
air might do for them"

NATURE AND ADVERTISING.
What Publicity Did For Mammoth
Cave Half a Century Ago.

What Publicity Did For Mammoth
Cave Half a Century Ago.
What happens when advertising
stops Is well shown In an article re
Gently printed in the Phillstine. The
writer takes up the Mammoth cave Of
Kentucky as an example OF what pub
licity does for even a wonder Of ma
ture.
Up to about 1870 the cave was well
advertised. As the Philistine remarks
a visit to Ii was considered sort OF
finishing touch TO ones education, and
a person who could not talk intelIi.
gently about it had no standing In 20
lite society.
Records kept at the Mammoth Cave
hotel from the time 1t WIS opened in
1887 show that while the place was
being advertised in various ways the
number of visitors was many times
what it Is now. when the publicity
promoter knows It not. In 1874. for IN
stance. when the population was hess
than 20000000 instead of the eighty
odd millions Of today. those who came
to see the natural curiosity numbered
on an average ninety-three day. They
Travelled hundreds and thousands OF
miles. for many crossed the Atlantic to
behold ii. Sixty-one years later. III
1905. the average was less than q

to forget that Kentucky's Mammoth

devoted themselves to spending the in.
come that they derived from the 81
head admission free. They thought the
financial stream would keep on run,
ming without any expenditure on their
part Tor advertising. They have been
disappointed, OF course.
AS soon as the advertising was aban
doned the people became Indifferent
about the cave and finally it figured
no longer as one of the great show
places Of the world
In the language OF the PhiIistfne.
caves are not necessary to human hap
piness until some man BY astute adver
Using fills men and women With a de
sire TO see them, and when the adver
Using ceases the desire ceases also.
Liberal advertising is essential to
success. The story Of the Mammoth
cave Of Kentucky Is only one OF thou
sands that prove the truth Of this.
And do not forget also that when
there Is let-up in business the man
who advertises his wares more than
his competitor is going to get the or.
ders and make money.
