GETS GOOD RESULTS
FROM PUBLICITY.
Advertising Should be Clear and
Original and Sufficiently In
teresting to be Read.

Paul c. GeG'hardt, advertising man.
ager of the Dallis Dispatch, and Sec
retary of the Southwestern division
of Associated Advertising club, talk
u to members of the Topeka Adyer-
Using club recently in regard 10 thu
results to b. obtained through sys-
tema.ic adv rtistng.
MIR. Gerhardt talked of the heart
interest in advertising and its re-
suits. His chief points were direct
ed to the advertiser himself. In par,
Mr.. Gerhardt said:
Advertising should be clear, live
ly and original. 1t should be appro-
Pirate to the size, quality and stand
ing of the house it represents. 1t
must be sufficiently interesting to be
read with interest. In fact, the ad-
vertiser must be sufficiently posted up
on his subject that he can talk inter
estingly regarding it.
There are two ends to be accom-
plished-the future building up of
ones business, and Immediate re-
suits. The former is the moro i'm
portant. What the advertiser mus
do is place his business before the
people in a way to build his reputa-
ton. The biggest opportunity is in
the future-tihe further one looks
ahead, the greater will be the result
obtained.
1T is the man who does not adj
vertisc, or who does not do so per-
sistently, who will be the first to
feel the depression in times OF BUSH
ness adversely
Mr.. Gerhardt referred to the writ
ing of advertising, saying:
Begin spontaneously at the vital
point. An advertisement should not
be written 10 be admired or for IL
terary show. Results are what is
wanted. They must be written to sell
the goods. Many embellishments do
not contain enough salesmanship.
They should contain that which the
business man would tell thu custom
er were he talking to him face to face
Hackneyed terms should be avoid
ed They weaken the appeal. Some
merchants are too genreal, others
use technical forms which the GUS
toner does not understand. This is
harmful in that the outlay is an en-
pense which cannot draw the same
results as well written, clear, con-
else and original advertiser

Thanksgiving and Bogus Bles-
sings.

But a few more days till Thanks
giving.
Oldor than the republic-older than
the Fourth of July or chan Washing-
toms birthday, Thanksgiving, with it's
sweet savoring of the true but unof-
fetal national bird done brown, is the
only typical American festival. Other
nations have their "Fourths," or their
Fourteenths of July-none has any
thing just like our Thanksgiving day
It's natural. Few OF tn IN have as much
to be thankful for as have We. Few
OF them have had fathers with spirits
stern enough to breed defiance to a
king and steadfast enough to brave
mistaken the dreary misery of VAL
Icy Forge in making good that def
ance.
So when We come to count our
blessings, the father of the republic
should perhaps come first. It's no
light thing to be able to boast fathers
who were willing to sacrifice to the
uttermost in our ba alf. 10 work I'M
ceasingly, to pay without stint, to
fight sturdily, to die cheerfully-all
that We might have something to be
thankful for. -
And then, of course, each of us has
any number of personal blessings to
be thankful for. The most unmcky Of

chorus. Now we'll have something

John puckcred his mouth, shifted
his knees and scratched his head; he
tried to recall some scene of carnage
that would thrill with the days of
Chapultopec or OF Gen. Scott storming
tbs Moline del Rey. Then he shifted
his quid to the other side of the jaw
and said.

rolled down his cheeksl
But the " Grams were speechless
with indigr alton when they reflected
that the most thrilling stories { ey

HOLD ON!


We've heard all this before. We've
heard it ad nausnam. If this is the
hos. we can do we might swell quit
We might as. well put Thanksgiving
day in the lumber room of forgotten
festivals. For these things are not the
real thing in the way of blessings.
Il is MT that TIL fathers fought for
us. That was THEIR blessing, not
ours. Ours hangs on the question:
What have We done TO deserve tho
sacrifice they made for us?"
Have We indeed been true to their
trust? Are We carrying on the torch
undimm3d? Have We emulated tn IN
in point of idealism and sacrifice?
Have We risk fortune. and life even,
that our children may enjoy the liber-
ty that our fathers bequeathed to us?
Have We oven sacrificed mere per-
sonal comfort on tho altar of liberty?
If We have not-and God knows
most OF us haven't-wc have no right
under heaven to claim their sacrifice
as our Thanksgiving blessing. We
must needs take a scCurge and drive
the money changers from the temple
they built for us before We can with
good grace count their inspired sacri-
flee as OUR benson.
And these picayune personal bless
ings of ours-that we have money,
and position, and health--what are
they If We have not the blessing of
service as tombstone to make them
real? What are they if we have not
used our money unselfishly, if we
have not used our position to make
somebody happier, If we have never
lifted a finger or walked a mile on
half of someone to whom We owe
nothing but the common debt of man
to man?
Blessings? Why the turkey that
dies for our thanksgiving dinner is
more bl ssad than We! The turkey, in
dying that We may be happy at least
symbolizes that spirit of sacrifice
which We know so little about
It's yet n week or so til thanks
giving. In that time let's Sc, if We
can add to our bundle of bogus
blessings a few real onas-.bl, ssings
that will inspire our childrcn's chill
dren to rise up and call us BLESSED

DIAz GENERAL is
BEATEN IN FIGHT
Mexican Rebels Prove Too Much
for the Trained Soldiery
Of Navarro.

Chicuahua, Mexico, Dec. 20.-(via Ell
Paso, Dec. 21)-It was learned today
that General Navarro failed to cap
ture Nal Paso, despite previous re-
ports from Mexico City to that eff
feet. Losses on both sides during the
two days fighting are reported to
have heen heavy.
The troop train which left here Sat
urday morning with soldiers is said to
have failed to form the proposed juno
ture with Navarro. The train is said
to have been fired upon, and many
OF the government troops killed and
wounded. 1t was reported tonight that
60 wounded would be brought to this
city. The train was fired on neal San
Andres, and returned to Bustillos,
where the engine is reported to have
run out of water with none near to
repienish the supply. The troops train
which was to have been taken out Of
here today by Adjutant Smith, an
American, did not start.
The passenger train which was htld
up e La Junta last Thursday has
not been heard from. General Navarro
encountered the insurrectos at Pedar-
males and Nal Paso last Thursday, and
by nightfall seemed to have he
fight won. He has since reported that
the insurgents brought in reinforce
mentS in swarmS, and estimated them
to number as high as 1000 on Friday.

been unable to hold his dvantas Of
the day before. 1t is considered SIG
nifcant that he has not claimed a vic
tory since his official ispatch made

NEGRO GUILTY OF
AN AWFUL CRIME
North Carolina Tragedy, About
Which Reports Differ, Costs
Lives of Several Victims.

Durham, N. c., Dec. 22.-Three
charred bodies found in the ruins of
the burned home of J. l.. Sanders, near
Hester, 20 miles from here last night,
and strands of a girls hair discovered
IN a pool of blood in the yard, led to
the arrest an hour later of Nathan
Montague, a young negro, on charges
Of criminal assault, murder and arson.
The negro was rushed to Durham for
safe keeping and will be transferred to
ssfre state PeniteT1tiury following IN in
quest later today.
The bodies are believed to be those
Of Mr.. Sanders. his daughter Mary, and
his 2-year-old granddaughter. Neigh
oors discovered the Sanders home on fire
last night. The house burned and
when the three members of the family
we're found to be missing a search was
made.
on the site where the house had
stooi was a large pool of blood iii
which were found strands of hair.
Nearby the searchers found a large
pocketl5life covered with blood. Soon
afterwards the bodies were discovered.
One of the neighbors recognized the
use at a neighbours home, where Mon
tague was assisting in killing hogs. He
also remembered that Miss Sanders
was there at the time.
When Sheriff Wilson went to Mon
tague's home and accused him Of COM
hitting the crime the negro was
trembling with fear. He offered re-
~sistance, but was taken into custody.
The sheriff rushed the negro across
country to prevent possible attempts to
lynch him.

OF WOMAN
WORRIES GOVERNORS
Present Executive Of Pennsyl-
vania VIII Pass the Case
Along to Successor.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 22.-Among tho
elegacies Governor Stuart Will leave for
John Il Tener, his successor, when
he retires from Office next month Is
the disposal OF the case of Mrs. Kate
Edwards. who Is in the Berks county
jail under sentence Of death for the
murder OF her husband about nine
years ago, Because OF public sentiment
stirred up at the time Of her convic-
ton against hanging a woman, two
governors have passed up her case to
their successors.
Mrs. Edwards and a negro named
Gleason were arrested for the murder
of the husband. The colored ma was
a paramount of the woman and the
husband declared he would kill her;
so that In fear, IL not in a sort4of sell
defense, she killed him one night and
threw the body into q well.
Mrs. Edwards and the negro werd
tried for murder and Gleason, on q
retrial, was acquitted, though once
convicted, but the woman was convict
ed and sentenced to be hanged.
The board of pardons took up thu
case and then declined to commute
the death sentence. This was seven
years ago. 1t then rested with Cow
ernor Pennypacker to again fix the day
for Mrs. Edwards execution, but he
eve took action. Governor Stuart
likewise has not taken action and now
the case descends to Governor Tener.
Meantime Mrs. Edwards has occupied
a cell in the Berks county jail and Is
said to be a most exemplary prisoner.

Our Voices,

I think u conversational soprano,

arising from a group of young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great industrial centers, for in

speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
coed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, 1 think the,
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be

would put in requisition were he get
ting up a new temptation of St. An.

Had Money in L.umns.


Charles Fl. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria- In fact, there was a series Of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like a mountain range, as it is present

The Jumps were about the size Of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
You seem like a healthy man."
said the doctor, "but l cannot pass you

Taking off his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con-

What About Brain Food?
This Question Came Up ia the Recent
Trial for Libel.

A Weekly printed some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods. 1t evidently did
not fancy our reply printed in various news
papers, and brought suit for libel. At the trial
some interesting facts came out.
Some Of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts. however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis Of brain by an unquestionable au-
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphcric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total,
5.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined' and Potash 1874 per
cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash, is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the con-
%stituent elements of the body, says: 'The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic ~cellsalt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with
slbumen and by the addition Of oxygen creates
nerys fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
