ADVERTISING TALKS

The bushes rule of three is
First: Ability.
Second: Integrity.
Third: Advertising.
Al man to succeed in business must have special ability for
the line of business he selects. If his ability is backed up by
inherent integrity, then he has a solid foundation on which to
build.
To erect a great BUSINESS institution on thatfoundation the
aid of advertising is absolutely necessary.
Of course, every man who is able and honest, and who adj
yertises does not always succeed-that's the pity Of it, but
more men who have ability who are not as scrupulous as they
should be, even though they advertise, fail than do men who
possess the three characteristics that, everybody is willing to
concede, are necessary to the building of any business.
Ability has got to be ~backedSup by energy, integrity has
got to be backed up by common sense, and advertising has got
to be booked up by truth.
1t looks simple, does it not? And it is simple.
Any man who has something to sell to the people in any
community. if he has a good article-if he does not misrepre-
sent in any way, can make advertising pay, providing he car
ries into his advertising copy the principles that dominate his
business character and his personal character.
Of course, advertising cannot be gone at in a haphazard
way. There has got to be just as much stck-to-t-iveness ap-
Piled to advertising as there is applied to the business itself.
There must be an equal amount OF courage applied to the
advertising also. as we'll as faith, because if a man goes into
advertising without these attributes, he is pretty sure to fail.
The home newspaper is the quickest way to reach the peo-
ME Every merchant In every community should know
81 this time that to sell his merchandise he must let the people
know through the news bearer, received into every home,
what he has to sell and what he will sell 1t for.-W. {. Free

Child Labor.

Believing that parents of children,
as well as employers of labor should
know something about the new child
labor law, passed at the last session
of the legislature, the PILOT publishes
a few of its most important parts:
All persons, firms and corporations
employing minors shall keep a public
register Of all minors employed and
shall keep on file the permits Of all
minors under sixteen years of age,
who are employed.
No child under sixteen years of age
shall be employed for more than eight
hours in any one day, or before the
hour of seven in the morning or after
the hour of seven in the evening, nor
more than six days in any one week.
A lunch period of not less than thirty
minutes shall be allowed each day.
Each employer must post list of
the minors employed, stating the
names, ages, at the place where en-
ployed and the hours required of each
minor employed, the hours of COM
mencing and stopping work, and the
time allowed for dinner or other
meals.
No child under the age of eighteen
years, shall be employed in or about
any blast furnace, docks, wharves, in
the outside erection and repair of
electric wires; in the running and
management of elevator, lifts or
hoisting machines, in oiling or clean
ing hazardous or dangerous machinery
in motion, etc. Heavy penalties are
imposed upon employers and parents
or guardians who violate any pro-
visions of the act.
In cities of the first, second, or
third class, no person under the age
of twenty-One years shall be employed
as a messenger for telegraph or
messenger company, in the distribu-
ton or delivery of messages or goods
before six o'clock in the morning and
after eight o'clock in the evening.
Every person, firm or corporation
desiring TO become the employer of
children under the age of eighteen
years shall file with the commissioner
of labor, a statement to this fact, in or
der that the factory, workshop, bowl
ing alley, store, hotel or place of en-
ployment may be specially inspected
by the commissioner of labor, or the
factory inspector.
The act is now in force. All en-
ployers of child labor should read
chapter 479 at once.

Proved by Lapse of Time.

Backache is heavy burden;
Nervousness wears one out:
Rheumatic pain; urinary ills;
All are kidney burdens
Daily effect of kidney weakness.
No use to cure the symptoms,
Relief is but temporary if the cause
remains.
Cure the kidneys and you cure the
cause.
Relief comes quickly-comes to stay.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney ills;
Prove it by your neighbors case.
Here's Wausau testimony.
The story of permanent cure.
Mrs. Ella Weisenfeldt, 938 Harrison
Blvd, Wausau, Wis, says: "When /
had occasion to use a kidney medicine,
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Pardee Drug Co., and they relieved
me of backache and other symptoms
of kidney complaint. In 1908, I
publicly expressed my gratitude for
the benefit this remedy has brought
me and at the present time, am glad
to confirm that statement"

Parcel Post.

The democrats are making sub
stantial progress towards the intro
duction of a parcel post delivery. AS
soon as a serious effort is made in
congress to establish parcel post de-
partment of the post office, the great
express companies come forward with
the small country merchant as a
bugabOo who claims that his business
will be practically ruined if the par
eel post is established. Well it is
true great many farmers would buy
some of their merchandise at larger
industrial centers than from the small
country merchant, but it is neverthe-
less true that the country merchant
would be benefited instead of being
injured thereby, for the reason that
the parcel post by which the post
Office could carry merchandise at low
rates up to IL lbs. would greatly pro-
mote the prosperity of the entire
country. The country merchant as
we'll as any other class of men would
get their share. When the rural free
delivery was introduced the same
charge was made that the country
merchant would suffer disaster. The
country merchant is enjoying greater
prosperity especially in the last Is
wears, than ever before.

Timothy E. Ryan.

On the afternoon of July 18th, the
Hon. Timothy e. Ryan, died suddenly
from heart failure at his home in
WaukeSha. He was a prominent man
of the state.
Mr.. Ryan was born in the town of
Greenwich, Washington county, New
York, 1859, and came to Wisconsin
with his parents in 1872. He was
educated in the public schools O.
Waukesha county and graduated
from the law department of the
University of Wisconsin. He was one
of the leaders of the democratic party
in the state and nation. His political
services received frequent recognition
from his party. In 1888 he was
nominated for the position of attorney
general and in 1892, when candidate
before the congressional convention
for congressman from the Fifth con-
greSsional district, he was defeated
by but one vote. In January, 1895,
he was made postmaster of Waukesha
under President Cleveland and in
1897 he was elected member of the
Waukesha board of education.
The democrats of the state paid
him signal honor in January, 1899,
when the party's members in the
legislature gave him the unanimous
complimentary vote for the United
States senatorship.
During the presidential campaign
of the fall of 1904 he served as a
member of the national democratic
committee, being selected by Chair
man Thomas Taggert as member OF
| the executive. Mr.. Ryan served
innumerable times as delegate to
political conventions, county, state
and national. He was Staunch
democrat, outspoken in his views.

Wisconsin has mounted since Is

The reports of the Board of Re-
gents show that in three years the
membership of the faculty has in
creased from 276 to 333-that is to
say, ffty-seven additions have been
made to the list during that compar-
atively brief time, Of course, if only
partial service is required of profess
sors and instructors, it is easy to see
why additional talent must be pro-
cured to keep up with the work.
The University of Wisconsin is a
heavy expense. The people of Wis
consin do not begrudge legitimate
outlay, but they will not tolerate per-
petually policy of wastefulness.-

The Norway Maple.

In many parts of the east the Nor
way or sycamore maple is a favorite
for street planting, though it Is some
what intolerant of dust and smoke
and Is therefore better suited to rural
districts and villages than congested
city centers. AS it is a spreading
tree, care should be taken to prevent
its bending too low. 1t thrives in
southern California as we'll as any of
the naples, but seems to thrive still
better farther north. Nature seems
to dictate an evergreen country, and
1t Is somewhat puzzling to know why
We have sycamores, cottonwoods, ETC.,
almost Identical with species found
in eastern states. In central and
northern California, where oaks are
deciduous, the naples thrive and no
objection should be made to use on
street and highway.

Loose Methods at the State uni
VerSItY,

The loose methods in vogue at the
University of Wisconsin are illus
trated by the case of Professor G. K
Leith, who made explorations in the
Canadian wilds, and who last year
did not return to Madison until some
time in November The professor
drew his pay from the university for
time when he was away, his sworn
statement being certified by the sig
nature of President Van Hise. The
provision of the bylaws of the univer-
sity is that no member of the instruc-
tional force shall absent himself from
his proper duties at the university,
except by permission of the president
or dean, and the president or dean
''shall not give leave OF absence longer
than two weeks without previous per-
mission of the board of regents or OF
the executive committee" The deans
are to place on file in the presidents
office records of absences granted and
the president is to report to the
board at each meeting upon all alb
sences. That the rule was not fol
lowed in the case of Professor Leith
affords ground for the assumption
that it has been ignored in other in
stances. 1t is good rule, and ought
to be rigidly adhered to. The fact
that Professor Leith is said to be in
terested with President Van Hise
in Canadian mineral lands is sure tC
be made the most of by people who
think university affairs need watch
ing in the interest of the taxpayers o.
Wisconsin.
The following table shows how the
cost of maintaining the University o.
Wisconsin has mounted since 1898:

THE question of the control of
waterpowers in our state will soon be
settled. The legislature has had its
own way the past winter, passed
bill to suit its own sweet will, the
owners sitting back, taking no hand
in the fight. The constitutionality of
the bill is now to be determined in
the courts. Theodore Brazeau of the
firm of Goggins & Brazeau of Grand
Rapids, has the case in hand and will
have it ready very soon. Those who
have devoted much time in framing
the bill and securing its passage feel
confident that the law will stand the
