The season, both In London and
Paris, this year has been marred by
almost constant rain. In London a
cold rain fell daily for almost three
weeks from the middle of June The
weather was so chilly that newly ar

Paris, too, has been rainy and cold

TIME Saturday Evening Post declined
to insert this advertisement in the
issue of September oath.
1t is true that this advertisement is at
variance with the persistent statement of
ready-made clothing manufacturers that
their product is equal to custom made. y
Its substantiation is found, however, in
the fact that w. P. Willis & Co. confne the
distribution of their high-grade imported

WANTS CITY ORDINANCE
To Prohibit Indiscriminate Distribu-
ton of Patent Medicines, Etc.

Editors Palestine Herald:
AS a reader of the Herald, and a
citizen of Palestine, l ask space in
your paper to protest against an evil
that 1 regard as a most dangerous
practice. | refer to the practice of
the miscellaneous distribution of sam
pies of all kinds of medicine for ad-
vertising purposes. These samples of
patent nostrums are thrown inside
the yards of the people of the city,
where they can be picked up by little
children and probably eaten by them.
There ARE thousands of cases in the
medical records, and newspapers, too,
for that matter, where babies and
small children have found these pois-
onous samples and eaten them, caus-
ing death. Such scattering of this
sort of stuff should be prohibited by
city ordinance, and l hope that you
will find space in your editorials to
condemn such practice and advocate
the passage of such law.
Another thing in this connection is
the distribution of vile and obscene
booklets, circulars, ETC., under the
guise of medical literature. This is
done in Palestine, and it
should be stopped. Along the same
line | would favor the prohibition of
all circulars, cards and |
dodgers in the residence district As
it is now, it keeps one busy picking |
up such trash off the yards and clear
ing up the litter made by this sorC
of advertising that is not read by one
person in fifty.

ordinance prohibiting the indiscrimi
nate distribution of medicine samples,
