ABOUT ADVERTISING-NO 2 The Dollar That Can't
 Be Spent
By Herbert Kaufman

By Herbert Kaufman
 Every dollar spent in advertising is not only a seed dollar which grOaUs c broft for the merchant but is actually retained by him even after he has paid It to tie publisher.
 Advertising creates q good oOW worth the cost of the publicity.
 It actually costs nothing. While t ases funds 1t does not Use them nb It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and at the same time keeps his business from not dying when lie does.
 t eliminates tie personal equation. Itper- petuates confidence IT tie store and makes 1t possible for merchant to qUithdraaO from 6nsf- ness without having the brofts of the business 7Uithdrao0n from him. It changes a name to an institption- institution that will s~rOfOe after the death of its builder.
 It IS really an insnrance policy which costs nothing-bays premium each year instead of calling fOr one, and renders 1t possible to change the entire personnel of business without disturbing its prosperity.
 Advertising renders the basinsss stronger than the an-independent of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandising, the track of which is left for others to follow.
 A business which Is not advertised must rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and personality in business is decreasing factor. The public does not qOant to knoaO tie man who owns the store-it isn't interested in him, but in his goods When an unadvertised business is sold 1t is only worth as much as its stock of goods and Gxtnres There IS no good will to be paid fort does not exist-it has rot been created. The name over the door means nOth- ing except to the limited stream of people from the immediate neighborhood, any of whom could tell you more about some store ten miles away which has regularly delivered its shop news to their breakfast tables.
 It is as shortnghted for man to build business which dies q0ith his death or ceases with his inaction as 1t is Wntair for him not to provide for the continuance of its income to his family.

THE FATfS AGAINST
 THE ARIZONA EXILE
The Retirement of Col. Stewart Is Regarded As Certain.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The army re- tiring board Investigating the case of Col. William F. Stewart, completed it's hearings today and went into execu- tiev session. The greater part of to- days hearings was consumed by Col. Stewart himself. who gave a detailed account of his health. his record in the army, all other matters being ex- cluded by the board.
 While the board did not make public its findings, it is reported that it ac- cepted the finding Of the local boards, that Col. Stewart is incapacitated from service owing to a disease of the ear. The board will not make any recommendation but in all probability the findings will be followed by the retirement of Colonel Stewat.
 It is understood that the board found Colonel Stewart seriously af- flicted with valvular diseases of the heart which incapacitated him from active service. The finding which has been agreed upon will be reported to the secretary of war probably tomor- row and it is considered likely that Colonel Stewards retirement by the president will follow. If not retired. Colonel Stewart would still have more than four years of active service and as he is one of the oldest of the artillery corps. his friends contend that he would stand a good chance of reaching the grade of brigadier gen eral before leaving the active service. If retired he will receive -fourths Of his regular pay or about S4OO per month.
 Before the board took up the subject in executive session it heard a some what detailed statement of Stewart

Leper to Have Home with His Family

THE strict isolation in which John r.
/ Early has been kept by the district
health officers is to be broken. Within
a short time Early is to be permitted
to live with his family.
That is, he will be allowed to dwell
in the same house, but will not come
in direct contact with them. He will
have his own sleeping apartment, bed
linen, towels, dishes and other domes-
tic appliances.
This has been practically decided
upon by the health officials. The plan
will not be carried into effect until the
commissioners have received the re-
port from the solicitor of the treasury
as to whether or not the federal au-
thorities have power to transport the
leper to North Carolina, the latter's
home state, regardless of the fact
that that commonwealth has refused
to accept him.
Although the decision has not been
forwarded to the commissioners, it is
known that the solicitors opinion is
adverse. He has said that the federal
department is powerless to act, and
has reported to the secretary of the
treasury to that effect.
The commissioners will take no ac-
tion until they have received the
opinion in official form fror, tbs latter
That Early is to be a permanent care
of the district is the conviction of the

Robber foiled.

Minneapolis-Kickin a cash box
out of the hands of masked robber,
a cash girl employed by Bannon &
Co., 81 South Washington avenue,
Minneapolis, saved her employers
over $3.50 late one night and routed
the thief.
At late hour last night the man
had not been apprehended, but the
girl was rewarded for her kicking
ability by her employers.
From the evidence procured by the
detectives, it is said that the man
secured stepladder from the w. K.
Morrison Hardware company in the
rear of Bannon's, tied a black handker-
chief over his face, placed the ladder
against the Bannon building and went
to the window of the cashiers depart
ment. He probably knew the lay of
the building and thought that no one
was looking. He reached through the
window of the cashiers table and
grasped the heavy cash box
At that moment the cash girl looked
around, saw the masked bandit and,
with cream, kicked the box from his
hand onto the floor.
