The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical frternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires con-
stItutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton OF the disease, and giving the pat
lent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that il fails to cure. Send for list

Cuba and Porto Rico.

One of the big problems for the
next generation in Cuba and Porto
Rico is that Of education. While
tremendous progress has been made
along this line since American occu-
patton OF the islands in 1893, illiteracy
is still rampant. Less than half the
Cubans eligible to vote can read or
write and among the non-citizens
illiteracy is even more pronounced. In
Porto Rico the situation Is even worse
Eighty-three per cent of the popula-
ton is illiterate.
But these figures are not nearly as
bad as were those that confronted the
United States when it took hold OF
these two countries. The SO per cent
OF illiterate in Porto Rico is being
rapidly reduced by means of a splen-
did system of education maintained
by the United States government and
In Cuba similar progress is going on
The populations of the two countries
show great improvement. In 1899
when Cuba passed from the Spanish
regime to federal control, It had a pop.
ulation of 1,572,797 and in 1907. after
eight years of American influence, il
had 2,O4S,9S0. a gain of 1913 per cent
! This is a vast increase as compared
with some years under Spanish rule
when the population actually showed
falling on
To show what remarkable progress,
education has made in that time, 81
per cent OF the Cuban children atten,

1893 the percentage was only 1871 pei

day the percentage is as high as so
Cuba has an area OF 44,I64 squar,

Cnmnact CITY aorernment.

The best answer New York can
make to much ill-founded criticism is
the army OF 7Os,51S which marched
on Monday to its public schools" says
the New York World New York, like
other cities, has its home knockers, y

But this is, indeed, a good answer II
would be little wonder II city of
nearly 100000 population, compris-
ing 900 square miles, did not lack
some feature of perfection in it's pub
lie school system as well as other
branches of city government.
The World cites, however. that
among other advantages, In addition
to the schools themselves, the children
who attend them have the benefit of
free medical treatment, both as to
physicians and professional nurses;
special lecturers, libraries, play
attendants, baths, laboratories, assem-
bly, halls and a few other institutions
calculated to promote mental moral
and physical well-being. The idealist,
OF course, could sit down and think up
lot more things the children ought
to have, but the World is reasonably
safe in submitting that these are a
few.
It is q wonderful city government
and a wonderful school system that
offers such advantages to the children.
The thought that must occur to care
full minds is that such systematic ad-
vantages come through thorough or
ganization and can come through no
other channel The component parts
of Greater New York, counting Man
haitian In the list, did not hold out
these advantages to their respective
school children. They are the pro-
ducts of Greater New York, the fruits
of a compact city government. They
constitute a powerful argument for

Talks for people who sell things

What will the advertiser do for the
reader?
That is the whole question in a nut
shell.
People read advertising to find out
wherein they are to be benefited, and
while price enters largely into any cal
culations for buying, it isn't the
strongest appeal by any means.
What sort of an appeal does your
advertising make to the readers, what
do you say you will do for them?
Will your clothing improve their APP
pearance, will your foodstuffs improve
their table, will your furniture and
household goods make them more
comfortable, can you render them a
service, tighten their labor, save them
time and trouble?
If you will study your own or other
peoples advertising and find out what
1t proposes to do for the readers, you
will see just where it makes good or
fails
The success or failure of advertising
depends on the story it tells and the
way it is told.

Missouri for Taft.

Missouri republicans In drafting
their state platform have come out
souafely for President Taft, endorsing
his administration without eQuivoca-
ton, tarln law and all. They have
set a good example for other repub-
lican state platform-makers
II is the only thing to do. No
evasive course. no lukewarm, half
way endorsement can be expected to
inspire confidence or achieve victory.
For that matter, no such attitude is
either right or consistent on the part
of republicans There is nothing In
the Taft administration that a repub-
lican state convention should hesitate
to endorse and advocate. There ID
nothing in Il that conflicts with the
fundamental doctrines OF republican
ism. 1t is On administration Of works

plain, simple business for the country
done in a direct and business-like man.
ner. It is the FIRST administration in
history to go so far in keeping pledge
by pledge made to the people before
election.
We believe the Missouri republicans
will gain by their candid action. We
believe other republicans who follow
their example will win. Nothing ia
to be gained by compromise; there is
neither room nor reason in compro-
mise with the democrats this year. They
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose. Their whole campaign must
rest upon a tissue OF empty promises
and the hope of republican dissension
Let republicans close ranks and the
democratic hopes are gone. And this
is the year. above all, to close ranks
Missouri has shown the way, let others
follow.
