A conductor on a Farnam car fell into a

ADVICE TO ADVERTISERS

One principle of successful advertis-
ing, as praetisod by the metropolitan
department store ad writers and other
specialties on publicity is TO give
definite descriptions Of the goods Of
fered. When a merchant uses such
phrases as '"The best is the cheapest
and Biggest assortment end loves
prices" he o5l.vikces no one. The
reader argues that any ono can use
these catch words end that they prove
nothing.
Try instead to help your reader get
a mental picture of your goods. For
this purpose try definite and detailed,
though very brief description. Get
manufacturers of your lines to give
you some definite facts about how
the goods are put together, 80 that
you can give some real reasons why
goods are superior.
Pick out some special bargains, des-
cribe them a. above indicated, and
put in the prizes and the real value
you believe them to have. Don't both
er about flowcry language what the
buyer wants 10 cold facts. Reason
why" advertising is what brings the
buyer around.
Prices are the best argument of all.
Oftentimes all that is desirable is a
word or two OF description, with
price in big figures

pretty hot all round to convince some
of the people that he is not after all,
in sympathy with the Interests, as
has been charged. And If he makes a
fight, it will be almost impossible for
him TO get anything more without join
ing the insurgents and beating the
regulars. SO, either way he turns, it
is likely that he will find trouble, and
it will take all his skill to win the
position which We believe he de-
serves-that Of leader of the party
and of his re5rlC.
Another thing that will be OF i'm
portance is the fight on Cannon. As
was explained in the Washington let
ter week or two ago, this is both a
fight on a man and a fight on a sys-
tenn. The insurgents have come
back stronger than before, and If they
can obtain the aid of some Democrats,
will undoubtedly make things hot for
Cannon from the start. Democratic al
seems to be likely, and Cannon, by
using Democrats himself in the last
session, has barred the way to any
very effective objection on his part
TO this procedure. Cannon will pro-
badly last this session out, but that Is
likely to be the end of his rule. The
question already is beginning to be
whether he will be succeeded by an
other man of the same type, or whe-
Their the insurgents will be strong en-
ough to name the next speaker, get
control OF the House and carry into
effect the reforms they are interest
ed in.
The most important news that comes
regarding the coming Congress itself
is that Sen. Culberson of Texas will
resign as chairman of the Democratic
caucus, which really means as Demo-
cratic leader in the Senate. He has
been i'll and weak of late, and feels
that the duties OF the place are more
than he can attend to properly. There
is also a report, based on statement
of Rep. Murdoch, of Kansas, that
Speaker Cannon will resign. Those
who know the qualities of Joe Cannon

as a fighter, believe this story fool
ish, but 1t at least shows the effect
of the anti-Cannon crusade that IL
should have got started at all. Can
non is admitted to be on the run,
and there are many who believe ne
will not seek reelection at the end Of
the present term. They say that the
Democrats will certainly carry the
country If Cannon runs.
The Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
has been quoted again at least for
the present. Mr.. Taft's skill as a
harmonizer has been called into play
and he announces that both mean
well and that he wants both to stay
and work for him. This seems TO be
all that will happen for while.

or at least a pretty fair summary of

of going into detail as to it. 1t is

In the second chapter Of Revela'

of every teacher. "He that overcometf

Two features OF the new tariff act

OF the executive TO consider the laws

chandise of the United States. and II
the executive finds such laws and prac-
tices not TO be unduly discriminatory

go into force. Unless the president
makes such a finding then the maxi
mum duties provided in the bill. that

An Ancient conerets Bridge In the
-.,.. o, South Of France. arHEa $%i
In the south Of France is a concrete
arch bridge known ais the Pont du
Gard, which. was erected in the year
56 b. c. The concrete I'm this was not
composed Of crushed stone or: other
small aggregate of the variety now em-
ployed in concrete bridge work, but
was of the old style, consisting Of al
ternate layers Of large and small
stones. gravel. ETC., and Of cemenh-
tious materials. Vitruvius describes
the materials and methods in use be-
fore the Christian era, and other
writer's like Albert in 1845 and Pol
ladio in 1870 accurately describe the
method which 1.-The ancients' las they
call them) employed "of using boards
laid on edge and filing the space be-
tween with cement and all sorts OF
small and large stones mingled to-
gether"
1t is very improbable that the Point
du Gard would have withstood the
rigors of climate Of the northern
United States, but its actual state Of
preservation. as well as that OF many
other specimens of ancient concrete
work, proves that IL modern work Is
honestly executed it will many times
outlast any reasonable bond period, 90

A .MEERscHAUM PIPE.

it Requires Careful Smoking to Color
!.$, .% Il Properly. ''-,..# -
Ordinarily a meerschaum pip. is
boiled for coloring in preparation Of
wax. which is absorbed and thin
coating of wax is held on the surface
of the pipe and made to take a high
polish. Under the wax is retained the
oil of tobacco, which is absorbed by
the pipe. and its hue grows darker in
proportion to the tobacco used. A
meerschaum pipe at first should be
smoked very slowly, and before Sec
ond bowlful is lighted the pipe should
cool of. This is to keep the wax as
far up the bowl as possible, and
rapid smoking will overhead, driving
the wax OF and leaving the pipe dry
and raw.
A. new pipe should never be smoked
outdoors in extremely cold weather.
Fill the pipe and smoke down about
one-third, or to the height to which
you wish color. Leave the remainder
of the tobacco in the pipe and do not
empty or disturb it for several weeks,
or until the desired color is obtained.
When smoking put fresh tobacco on
the top and smoke to the same level.
When once burned the pipe cannot be
satisfactorily colored unless the burn
ed portion is removed and the surface
again treated by the process by which
is prepared. The color
ing is produced by the action Of the
smoke upon the oils and wax which
