The civics committee OF the Woman's club

expected that this subject will have an i'm
portant place on the committees program
before the club, March 20. The program
will take the form of a round table.
Greater Needs OF Omaha" to be the sub
Ject. Owing to illness and departure from
the city among its members, the commit
tees work has been seriously interrupted
this winter. Mrs. G. W. Cherrington is
chairman, and during the last week Mrs.
c. z. Gould and DR.. Lillian Nuckoll Condor
have been appointed to fill vacancies. The
billboard question is to be agitated and the
women have in mind several plans that
have been successful in other cities in
bringing the authorities to a realization of
how Objectionable this form of advertising
really is. The street car ventilation ques-
ton has not been dropped either. but the
committee in its disorganiLed state has not
been able to carry the agitation further.
This, too, will be taken up and not only
the ventilation. but the crowded condition,
the lack OF courtesy among conductors and
several other matters OF which the travel
Ing public makes frequent complaint, will
be given attention.

How to Test a Newspaper
Advertisement

The men who lead the masses all possess one
distinguishing characteristic.
No matter how illogical are their arguments
or how fallacious are their conclusions, they are
confident in their afirmations. s
An authoritative tone must be assumed and
maintained by the advertiser at all times and in all
conditions. "N
1t is impossible for an advertiser to inspire
confidence in others without possessing it himself,
and unless advertising is awarded the readers con-
fdence, the advertiser is wasting his money.
Yet too wanton an exhibition of confidence is
dangerous. The advertiser must keep in close touch
with the pulse of the public and know how much the
people will stand in this line.
While everybody unconsciously acknowledges
leadership to others in many ways in their daily
contact with their fellow men, no one is happy in
the consciousness of being forced.
The results of newspaper advertising depend
upon voluntary actions on the part of free people,
and threats, scares, or pesSimiStc utteranceS will
never make friends or customers.
Public service corporations should educate
the public to the many advantages they offer.
They could overcome much current prejudice
against monopolies and add greatly to their popular
iy by asking the people for their patronage in a
pleasing manner, without in any way sacrificing their
confident or authoritative standing.
Optimism is a wonderful confidence-inspiring
tonic. The optimist, who is tempered by self.con-
troll, makes the best advertiser.
An advertiser who in pessimistic tones con-
tinually decries competition, and insinuates that the
people themselves cannot be trusted, destroys con-
fdence and will not command a large success.
Let your advertising be authoritative 49, not
the self assertiveness of the bully but express q
well regulated, optimistic, spirit of confidence.

Medical snake is Dead.

The second specimen ever captured of
the fer-de-lance, or lachesis, the South
American venomous snake, whose poison
has proven useful in the treatment of
acute nervous disorders that II is listed
in the homeopathic materia medica. died
today at the Bronx Geological park, where
1t had been on exhibition since last April,
when Prof. e. w. Runyon. who captured
1t in Brazil. turned II over to the institu-
ton.
Since the reptile was brought to this
country six extractions of venom from
its fangs had been made, about half a
teaspoonful being taken from the creature
at each operation. For medical use this
venom is diluted by the addition Of one
trillion parts of sugar of milk to one part
OF the venom, so that the supply now on
hand will be ample TO meet any possible
demand for years to come. The only
! other lachesis ever captured was secured
in South America by DR.. Constance
Herring, a German, who discovered the
efficacy of the venom.
