the constant repetition that wears
away forgetfulness and forces atten
ton. 1t enables the advertiser tc
tell his story quickly.
1T makes it possible for him to
reach many whom he could reach to
advantage in no other way, as every
body who reads at all reads some
newspaper.
Size of circulation is not the only
thing TO be considered in choosing
an advertising medium There is a
quality as well as a quantity factor
which enters into the case. For some
kinds of advertising $4,000 of high
class circulation is worth 100000 of
a poorer class.
"The editorial policy and character
of the news columns of a newspaper
have an important bearing upon the
advertising value of the medium A
wide-awake paper, which is clean,
ably edited and progressively man
aged, is splendid place for an adver-
Using bank to present its announce
ments.
In such a paper your advertise
ment will be in good company. An
honest and fearless newspaper in
spires confidence on the part of its
readers, and this confidence is given
likewise to those who advertise in it.
If its editorials carry weight and its
news matter is well presented the
advertisements in its columns have
the best kind of environment for sat
isfactory results.
1T is better to use small or mod
erate-sized space regularly than larger
space spasmodically. The general
reading pages of a paper are better
than the financial page, because those
who read the financial page likewise
see the other pages, but all those
who read the general pages do not
read the financial page. Three inser-
tons a week are better than one in
sertion week, and every day is bet
ter still.

FOR YOUR HEALTH's SAKE
HOW TO KEEP slckLY.

Never open the windows in
your sleeping chamber. See that
they are carefully closed at night
and the room made as hot and
stuffy as possible.
Keep out of the sunshine and
be careful not to take long, deep
breaths. Eat any kind of food,
regardless of its nutritive value,
and be as irregular as you can as

so eat hurriediy. No use wasting
time over matter of this kind.
Wear an overcoat one day and
go without the next. Change un-
derwear from heavy to light DUR

battle oftener than once a month.
BY following these few simple
directions you will befriend the
doctor, and if persisted in long
enough the undertaken will also
have chance to make dollar.

The district attorney of Eastland
county has filed suit in that county
against the Texas Central railroad
asking for penalties amounting to
some five or six million dollars. The
Texas Central is a local road, with
headquarters at Waco. The suit is
based on the contention that the road
has violated the separate coach law
The attorney must be under the i'm

law from end to end to ask for such
fine. Such suit cannot but be Of

HERALD ECHOES.

What has the tariff to do with the
price of food stuff or other supplies
when the stock gamblers are working
day and night to run the prices up?
Congress should give little attention
to this end OF the proposition.-Pales-
tine Herald
The democrats in congress are do
ing the best they can to bring the
stock gamblers and all other evil
doors to judgment, but, being in the
minority, their efforts avail nothing.
The republicans could put the stock
gamblers who run the price of food
stuffs up out of business. But the
people are looking at them now and
may decide quite soon to dispense
with the services of the republican
party, and run the government on
democratic principles.-Fort Worth
