Head of Firm Says All Petty Graft
Isn't in Pittsburg.
Petty stealing, cheap graft-it's not
all in Pitsburg."
The head of the firm was angry.
Send for that collector" he said.
The collector came.
Seems to be too much work for
you" the managing partner said.
Probably you need help"
The collector believed another man
would be valuable addition to the
force. Him thought So" the manager
said, and then, reading from slip:

home at 93476 East Steenth street, re-
turned to store at 11:25; 2:15 went
to Orpheum, etc."
He turned on the now amazed col
lector. Hard work, wasn't it?" he
snapped. Nov, do you desire to
work. help pay the expense of the de-
tecttve who trailed you and make
good, or will you quit now?"
II believe I'd like to work it out"
the trembling collector replied.

was the parting admonition of the
manager. And the collector got it on.
Cheap graft" the manager re-
sumed. "Often wonder how some men

CHAPTER !

It was a bold project of Capt. Hat
teras to try to push his way to the
north pole. and gain for England the
glory of it's discovery. But he had
struggled for nine months against cur
rents and tempests, shattering icebergs
and breaking through almost insur-
mountable barriers.
In an unprecedented winter he had
Outdistanced all his predecessors and
accomplished half his task, when he
saw all his hopes blasted. The mu-
tiny Of his wornout crew hal left him
and his little band of three men in a
terrible situation helpless in an icy
desert, $500 miles from their native
land-their ship wreck. blown up by
the mutineers.
However, the courage of Hatteras
was still undaunted The three men
which were left him were the best on
board his brig, and while they remain
cd he might venture to hope.

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

ADVERTISING IN THE SUMNER
Lack of Optimism on Part Of solici-
tors May Cause Falling OF at
This Time.

Before a recent business meeting of
the New York Times staff, Ernest ].
Preston, manager of the Daily News
paper club, discussed THE Decline of
Advertising in the Summer" He gave
various reasons why advertising
should be kept up during the hot sea-
son above all other times of the year,
and said that it may not be all the
fault OF the advertiser that he lets his
publicity fall off in the summer but
that some of it may be brought about
by the lack of optimism on the part
OF the advertising solicitor.
1t is as senseless for an adver-
tiser to stop his advertising-to break
the effect of repetition-to quit firing
at that great SO per cent of the indif-
ferent. thoughtless. obstinate public"
said Mr.. Preston, "as it would be for
the engineer to let his fires go out
or the chauffeur to let his power and
speed go down on approaching hill.
THE public must be told the story
of product without the cessation of
month or two, for it has been proven
that 1t costs twice as much to get
back into the former commanding po-
sition than it would have cost to keep
the attention with some shots each
week. even if the full schedule was
not maintained
Tell your customers to advertise
to the people that are staying at home
there's hundred times as many re-
naming here as go away. Some per-
sons believe that the people read less
in the summer than in the winter, but
i don't believe it.
You have a hundred reasons to give
why line should be persstently ad-
vertised in the summer as any other
time. Personally you get hungry in
the summer-you read in the summer
you may take things a trif1e easy
but you cont let up. It's not human
nature to let up, so bring that to the
attention of the man who should spend
some money in the display columns

plus some good common sense
won't make them look at things in a
light that will enable you to obtain

UNCONSCIOUS ADVERTISING
Does It in Some Form or Other
Says Mr.. Van Camp.

Writing in the New York CONNER
cial, Frank Van Camp, of baked bean
fame, says:
When a man advertises he is
generally supposed to use newspapers,
magazines, street car signs, billboards,
wall signs or circulars, or to demon
strate, or distribute samples.
In my opinion, every business man,
either retailer, jobber or manufactur-
er, advertises, but many of them are
apparently unconscious of the fact.
A retailer could save rent by hav-
ing his store in back alley, but
wishing to attract the attention of a
greater number of people, he locates
on a prominent street and charges
the excess rent to general expenses.
rather than to his advertising account,
where it properly belongs When a
merchant moves from side street to
prominent thoroughfare. it is be-
cause he wants to advertise. When a
merchant puts a sign over his door
or uses show window to display his
wares, he is advertising. When the
clerk behind the counter displays
goods that have not been asked for by
the prospective customer, he is adver-
tising. The merchant who removes
his business from the country village
to the county seat, the man who
moves from the county seat to the
city, the manufacturer who increases
his sales force from one man to ten,
the man who extends his business
from the local field to his state, from
state to the national market, has in
mind the extension of his field of op-
GRAFTON, the seeing and talking with
more people-in other words, adver-
tising.
Il say again, every merchant and
manufacturer advertises and believes
In advertising, as without it in some
form no business could survive for a
year.
ANY kind of an announcement by
a merchant or manufacturer that he
has merchandise for sale or trade is
advertising, but the announcement
may be good, bad or Indifferent, and
may be profitable or Improbable"
