CAST BALLOTS AT ARLINGTON
Chamber of Commerce Election to
Be Held in Hotel.
Polls VIII Open nt Noon on January
10 10 Accommodate Increased
Membership.

Election day at the Chamber of Com
merce on January 10 may sound strange,
but that is the way 10 speak OF it this
year. Election night was good enough
ia past occasions. when the members
chose the officers for the year. But with
forty-two candidates for the offices OF
the ten directors, and a lively contest
for the Office of first vice president
with about so members eligible to vote
At this election. the ballot will surpass the
average county ticket ballot in intricacy
and length. and the total vote VIII be
larger than that of many a township
at State elections.
So the committee has been seeking a
place large enough in which TO hold the
annual meeting and has been trying to
devise some plan 10 expedite the count
ing of the ballots, so that returns may
be in before midnight
The Arlington Hotel has been chosen
as the meeting place, and the ballot
boxes will be opened at noon and re-
main open until in the evening. with
an intermission of two hours. from
until Z. The afternoon balloting Will
take place at the rooms OF the Chamber
Of Commerce. and the tellers viii pre-
side over the boxes. Then at o'clock
the baIlotng viii be resumed at the
Arlington Hotel, until 9 o'clock. when
the tellers Will begin the count
In former years IL has been the Gus
tom 10 begin balloung at in the even
ing, 10 keep the boxes open until all
present had voted. and then to count the
votes, which usually lasted until mid
night. The larger number OF candidates.
the greater membership. and the closer
contest of this year make the old plan
impraCticable

Editor The Washington Rcrald;
Unusual interest attaches just now 20
the Christian Science view Of the resur-
rection. and this interest was accentu-
ated IN The Washington Herald by the
article headed. Expects Mrs. Eddy to
Rise from the Tomb" Il should be
noted that the opinions expressed in that
article were not those of a Christian
Scientist, but were the views Of one who
was dismissed from the Christian Science
Church because Of her perversion OF the
Christian Science teaching.
Mrs. Eddy's teaching regarding the
resurrection has consistently been that it
is a spiritual. and not a material. awak-
enfng. for which all should strive. She
never professed to be able 70 accomplish
in this age what Jesus accomplished in
the beginning Of the Christian era.
In a letter published in the Christian
Science Sentinel December Is. 1905. and
republlshed in the same paper December
IS. 1909. Mrs. Eddy makes this statement:
Hitherto there is but one Christ Jesus
on record. Christ is incorporeal. Neither
the you nor the I in the flesh can be or
is Christ" In her work entitled Unity
OF Good" on page e. Mrs. Eddy says on
this subject. The achievement OF this
ultimate of science, complete triumph
over death. requires time and immense
spiritual growth. 1 have by no means
spoken of myself; / cannot speak Of my
self as sufficient for these things / in
sist only upon the fact, as it exists in
divine science, that man dies not. and on
-
this verity-words which can never pass
away tn all DO fulfilled Because of
these proloun sasons l urge Christians
10 have NOR faith in living than in
dying
These authoritative statements by Mrs.
Eddy will. / feel sure, appeal to
thoughtful people everywhere as emf
nently sensible, and as being entirely
in accord with the teaching of the Bible

of the great, but they make lament.
able failures. because they overlook
the principles that have made fhe
other man great.
/ don't believe it is possible, in
these days, for any firms. with the
exception Of perhaps three or four in
New York. to follow the style Of the
Altman advertising and meet with
any kind of success.
It is hard to explain why this is so
My own personal opinion is that the
style adopted many years ago by
Altman and steadfastly followed ever
since has made It's impression on the
public in such a manner as to give
to the house all the results that it
wants from its advertising.
Maybe other methods would bring
greater results. but the firm viii not
listen to any change in its style.
a merchant said to me the other
day:
Do YOU know that EVERY PIECE
Of merchandise that goes into the
Altman Store is examined carefully
before it is put on sale? To illustrate
IF he buys nine thousand suits of
underwear. every suit is examined be-
fore it goes on sale-not one, nor ten,
nor a hundred, bat the whole nine
thousand" +"
Another merchant said to me:
Altman & Co. have just as firm a
hold on the confidence of their en-
ployes as they have on that of the
public. That was illustrated in the
recent strike troubles, when not a
single driver or helper quit his job"
II The public believes in a firm, and
employees are LOYAL-then 1t always
succeeds.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

B. ALTMAN & co. is a national
name in the business world. All mer-
chants everywhere, as well as all
people who have had business rela-
tions with this firm, pay high tribute
10 its character.
Advertising men, especially adver-
tisement writer's. wonder how B. Alt
man & Co continue to do so GREAT
\ BUSINESS by means of their ad-
vertising methods. which haven't
changed from the time they started
business
There is not an advertisement
writer that ] know who does not say
that, if he could apply HIS METH
obs to the Altman business. it would
increase tremendously.
This may be true, but the fact re-
mains that the SIMPLEST AN
NOUNCEMENT over the name of B.
Altman & Co. brings IMMEDIATE
RESPONSE-and the reason is that
people believe what is printed over
that name.
It has taken many years to bring
about this CONFIDENCE on the part
of the people, but it exists to-day to
a marvellous degree and nothing can
shake IT,
other advertisers, do not approve Of
the style of the advertising. yet
many Of them initiate it. with this
difference-only here and there can
be found a business house whose
reputation justihes imitation of the
Altman methods. Others have moth
ing to back them up-not much REP
UTATIoN, il any; and not much
RELIABILITY, If any.
Many people trail along life's path
way trying to step in the footprints

license of the corporation 70 do busi-

The order directed the concern to write

the insurance department could not look
