How Advertising Pays.

Davenport Democrat: THE strong
est factor in the success Of the mail
order house against the home mer-
chant is advertising. They keep ever
lastingly at it because they have found
that 1t pays"
The above elicits some very valua-
bic suggestions from the Burlington
iHawk-Eye, which says ct has been
discovered by many of those firms
whose business is most affected by the
mail order house that by advertising
they can overcome the disadvantage
Home firms that advertise their goods
intelligently find less and less reason
to complain of the mail order house.
People who find they can buy goods
in their own city as good and as
cheaply as they can at a distance are
not going to waste time and postage
sending away for what they want. \
certain retail firm in Burlington, al
most any of whose articles in stock
can be obtained from mail order
houses. cleared $4,000 during the past
holiday season. making more money
in that time than they used to clear
In an entire year. They attribute this
business success almost entirely to ad-
vertising. and to the fact that they had
the goods to sell as advertised. They
have no thought concerning the mail
order houses and pay little attention TO
the effect of their operations in Bur
lington, simply because they know how
to create and retain trade for them
selves.
And so it is in Rock Island. Local
merchants are becoming more and
more impressed with the fact that
constant, persistent advertising is an
Indispensable business asset.
1t pays to advertise and the more
you advertise the better it pays.

vantage. Just as the prosperity of
Florida is said to date from the great
frost that killed the orange groves and
forced the farmers to raise a variety
of early vegetables, SO there may be
real economic gain from high prices
If they send consumers in search Of
substitutes for some Of the more costly
articles of food. The people Of this
country know nothing about the eco
nomics in diet which are practiced by
European peoples. If the Cleveland
workingmen abstain from meat for
month they will perhaps learn how to
substitute for it other foods, the prices
Of which, it is true, have advanced, but
which cost much less than beef and
mutton"

Who Pays the Import Duties?

American protectionists on the
stump have fallen into the habit Of
telling voters: First, that import
duties are paid by foreigners; and,
second. that the amount of duty Is not
added to the cost of the article pro-
tected
If these assertions are true, (Which
they art not), how do the protection
lists account for the fact that the diff
ference in the cost of bread in Great
Britain and Germany is invariably
equal or greater in Germany by the
amount of the German import duty:
After it is explained that the Ger
man duty on wheat it 1884 a quarter
(4S0 pounds), four paragraphs Will
suffice to convince any ordinary NOR
tai that at least in this instance the
import duty is added to the price of
the article taxed, and instead of being
paid by the foreigner" is paid by the
consumer:
1. At the beginning of August, 1908,
the Berlin workman paid for a quar-
ter of wheat $1O.4S. At that time the
price of wheat per quarter in free
trade England was $7.64. Thus it will
be seen that the Berlin consumer paid
the free trade English price and the
amount of the tariff.
9 BY the middle of October the
Berlin consumer was paying $10:56
for his quarter of wheat, which repre-
sents $7.4S, the average English price
of wheat at the time, the German tar
iff of 1884, and a shilling extra. This
is an instance of how protection puts
fictitious value on an article. While
the price of wheat fell in free trade
England, it increased in high protec-
ton Germany.
g. At the end of November the
price of wheat in Berlin was $11.04,
which means that the Berlin con-
sumner was paying the prevailing Eng
lish price of $7.72, the tariff of 1884
and two shillings extra. And ev-n
this is not all
f. On March 10, 1909 the Berlin
consumer was paying s11.7S for his
quarter of wheat This represented
the prevailing English price of $3.50.
the $2.S4 tariff tax and 5S-cent steal.
And under the Aldrich-S moot
law the American consumer is being
bled in the same manner every time
he purchases an article on which there
is an excessive tariff rate, such as
sugar. clothing, blankets, farming Inn
plements and some two thousand other
articles too numerous to mention.

"Going Up!''

The federation of doctors Of Paris
of the increased cost of living, owing
to the higher standard observed, and
in conformity with the resolution pass
ed at the medical congress Of Lille in
1908, the scale of physicians fees has
been raised. The fee for an ordinary
visit or consultation is increased by
one-third; urgent visits, visits on Sun
days or fete days, visits at fixed hours,
and all visits between and 10 o'clock
in the evening will be counted as two.
All visits made between 10 o'clock at
night and Z in the morning will be
charged for at least treble. If the prac-
titioner is compelled to take any legal
measure to obtain his fees. he will add
10 per cent for the cost of recovery.
Great heavens! and the doctors are at
1t, too! It costs more to live, more to
get sick, and the undertakers are in
creasing rates for funerals, so it also
costs more to die! Is it a wonder that
the pessimist asks: whats the use?"
In Cleveland, Ohio, a movement has
been started IN an effort to bring the
price of meat to earth. 1t is proposed
that workingmen quit eating meat.
"While they abstain from meat" says
the New York Tribune, will they eat
bread? Flour is about as high in pro-
portion as meat. Eggs are relatively
even higher, and so humble an article
of food as beans shows larger per-
centage of advance in cost in 10 years
than almost anything else on the list
Whittier shall consumer turn if he
is going to stop the use of a commod
ity merely because its price has gone
up?
However, such movement as that
in Cleveland may not be without ad-

HumOr and

WILL o'-THE-WlSP.
BY DUNCAN n. SMITH

EHOW and glitter catches US
With their lights alluring.
Things substantial we pass up.
Miss the more enduring.
For the bauble vain and punk
We VIII blow our money.
Haggle over things worth while.
Really, amt II funny?
Pork and beans and breakfast food
And such useful chewing
Is not what we spend our time
Valianuy pursuing.
We are after Holsters red,
Salads. creams and ices
That will knock digestion out
And cost several prices
We would rather see a show
Full of bells and spangles
Than to hear a lecture on
Science and its angles.
We would rather chase a ball
Round the golf courses stubbl0
Than 10 saw a cord Of wood
Or untangle trouble.
That's the way II is with man
Things that keep him busy
Are the trihes and the toys
And the nixups dizzy.
He would rather lose an arm
Franticelly JOY riding
Than TO lose a day on things
That were more abiding.

After they had finally finished the man
who was to make the light, airy speech

arose and said:
Gentlemen, 1 admit that where I
am known I have some local reputa-
ton as an after dinner speaker, but
