ventives of such dread scourges of hu-
mainly as smallpox. diphtheria. bu-
bOnic plague. typhoid, etc, has grown
by leaps and bounds within the past
few years.
There are nine important world
recognized antit0Xins now manufac-
tured on large scale. which require
celebrated scientists as directors and
hundreds of employees TO attend TO the
various details of the production Of
the various serums. Enormous sums
have been invested. both by govern

creating institutions where antitoxins
can be prepared with a certainty of
good results.

Countless are the delicate chemical
changes involved in producing any Of
the nine chief antitOxins but each of
them is based originally on modified
horse blood. This modification is
caused by the treatment of specially

blood system disease germs have been
introduced

Today EndicOtt johnson Co. are indie
pendent of ali Trusts. They are the only shoe
people in the United States that do not pay
tribute to the leather combination.
They buy the raw hides in the open markets
of the world and tan every foot and pound of
leather they use This not only means a big
saving in cost and better tannage, but it means
tanning every lot of leather with an eye to tbs
particular shoe that is TO be made from it-a
great advantage in the working quality Of the
stock and the wear of the shoes.
Endieott-Johnson Co have developed proc
esses that double the life of some feathers.
They tan 1000 skins of calf leather every
day
They tan nearly 1000 sides of the finest
upper leather and l 200 sides of sole leather
every day.
Last year nearly 10000 shoe stores sold the
product of the Endicott-JOhnson CO. fac
tories, which is the largest output of any in
dividual concern.
A beautiful town has grown up around this
enterprise-the town of EndcOtt. New York
where five thousand people depend for their
livelihood upon the Endieott-Johnson factories
and tanneries.
Established in their tanneries, Endicott,
johnson q To- save Inc Nedrer three profits
on the leather in his shoes-the Hide
dealers profit, the Tanners profit and the
Leather-jobbe profit.
Their last saving TO the wearer was to cut
out the profit of the wholesale shoe house and
sell their shoes direct to the retail store in
every town.
The leather in Endicott-Johnson shoes will
wear as leather used to wear twenty years ago
IN the days of honest tanning
EndicOtt-JOhnson make shoes for the work
ingman and dress shoes as fine as any man
wants to wear They sell school shoes and
shoes for women. And because they have cut
ont four profits, between the Tanner and the
shoe store, they can save the wearer from soc
to S1.0O on every pair and give him leather
that simply cannot be had in any other shoe.
Now the reader will naturally say, 'Why
doesn't everybody wear EndicOtt-JOhnson
shoes and why doesn't every shoe store sell
them?'
Everybody does want to wear Endicott-
Johnson shoes as soon as they know about
Them and nearly 10000 stores are selling the
goods.

Some dealers are not as quick as Others to
fall into line.
A retail shoe dealer has his friends and his
old business associates from whom he has
been buying goods for years.
He has a store full Of otheC shoes, perhaps,
and he doesn't like TO break into his lines
with another make
Sometimes a shoe dealer likes TO have his
own name on every pair Of shoes and keep
the wearer from knowing where they are
made. This enables him 10 keep the matter
of profit entirely in his own hands.
1t is not always the shoe dealers fault.
Some large wholesale shoe houses Day expert
statesmen $4,000 to $4,000 a year Just be-
cause of their ability to get out and sell the
retail shoe dealer and keep hlm satisfied
EndicOtt, johnson & Co. do not employ fan
ey talent their selling force; and they are
somewhat particular as TO the kind Of dealer
that sells their shoes.
After they have worked so hard to reduce
the cost of shoes to the wearer and cut out
the four intervening profits they want to do
business with the shoe dealer who is willing
TO sell their goods at a fair living prOfit-a
dealer who would rather make his money by a
small margin on many sales than a big profit
on few sales.
The selection Of the right dealers to handle
the Endicott-Johnson line. Is a problem lust
as was the building of their tanneries and the
getting rid of the shoe jobber
EndicOtt. johnson Co can sell all the
shoes they make each year But their business
is growing every year and the future of their
business depends upon the service they render

1t is a question that the wearer must help
them decide.
Now as a buyer and wearer Of shoes every
reader of this paper has a right TO vote on
this question of buying shoes Independent Of

4 SENSIBLE REFORM.

Mrs. Ella F. Young, superintendent
of the Chicago schools, has instituted
another school reform. She has told
the pupils to write any way they
please, but write legibly and fast! "
The Chicago Tribune In approving
Mrs. Young's course, says: KY"
@ It has been the habit every few years
to change the penmanship in the
public schools from slant to vertical
ana from vertical back to slant again,
with its attendant extra cost OF copy
hooks and the confusion of the pupils.
AS a matter OF fact, the merchant, the
factory. and the firms the boys ana
girls may have to write for when they
70 to WI do not give a rap for verti-
cal or lant What is wanted is, as
Mrs. Y3ung puts it, legibility and
speed, and the clerk may hold his pen
like dagger, club, in right hand or
left, so long as what he writes can
easily be read.
Handwriting is an indication OF in
dividuality, and the tendency OF the
public school manner Of teaching 1t is
to make all write like automatic. The
penmanship of mature man bears no
resemblance to that Of his youth.
There are few mature men, however,
who do not remember those stiff
backed figures in the copy books they
were forced to take as models.

Ottumwa has passed an ordinance

THIS APPLIES TO oTTUMWA.

Assistant City Physician Morse OF
Des Moines is quoted in the Register
and Leader as expressing fear that
the city's health may suffer through
inability to enforce the regulations
governing the removal OF garbage.
The doctor says:
II think that the thing most needed
by the city at this time of the year IS
a municipal garbage plant. The care
Of the garbage Of city of the size OF
Des Moines means more than great
many people realize. On it rests the
health and prosperity Of the majority
Of the people. A short time ago 1t
was decided by Police Judge Van LEV
that 60 cents q month was not fair
amount for the scavengers Of the city
to receive for the care Of garbage ana
that 81 was none too much. This de-
cision have no doubt was perfect
" fair one, but it makes it very hard
on the poorer people Of the city. 1t Is
the down town parts of the city where
the poorer people are forced to live
that the garbage collects most quick
". These people now cannot afford to
have their garbage hauled away by
the scavengers and therefore simply
dump 1t in the streets or in the alleys.
This Is of course contrary to the law
but the law is very hard to enforce.
| know of hardly city In the country
Of the size Of Des Moines where the
garbage is not taken care of by the
city. Were this system to be put In
to effect in Des Moines the taxpayers

Des Moines is finding out that II
costs as much for city to indulge IN
lluxuries as 1t does for an individual.
Last year automobiles were purcnaseu
for the heads OF three city depart
ments. A car was purchased lot the
chief OF the fire department that cost
$2,3u0, oars costing $1,000 eacn were
purchased for tho department OF
public safety and the department
Of streets and public improve
ments. The purchase price of the cars
was $4,000, but the cost OF mainte-
nance was greater than this, and one
Of the Des Moines papers says that
the total expenditure on the clty,s
three autos was $10,257.48.
Contrasted with this is the showing
made as to the expense of keeping all
the teams used in the police. fire, park
and street departments. A total OF
$4,000 was spent in the purchase OF
horses and mules, $10,497.32 for feed,
$1,742 for shoeing, $1,47O Tor the
purchase of dump wagons. ana a Re"
hundred dollars for repairs to wagons.
The total expenditures for buying new
horses and wagons and for feed ana
maintenance in all the city depart
ments was $14,546.99. The three
autos cost the city $10,257.48.

Secretary McVeagh of the treasury
department has issued estimates OF

Automobile manufacturers are pro-
testing against the cry of motor car
extravaganza. Alarmists have de-
plored the increasing use Of the auto
mobile. They believe the country
cannot afford to spend half a billion
wear for motor cars. The automobile
manufacturers, however, point OUT
that the nation spends four times az
much every year for liquor and twice
as much for tobacco as was spent TINS
year for motor cars, and these indul-
gences leave nothing tangible at the
end of the year, while the automopile
remains tangible asset. The auto
mobile industry has become great
employer of labor, of American LABOR
