we can sell this article at $1.76,
regular value So?
"And on a larger article, say
a $50 article, aren't we justified
in saying that our price is
$42.75, real value $50?"
My answer was:
There is no reason why you
should not use a comparative
price, if you want to, but why
should you not say in your ad-
vertisement something like the
following:
1--WE bought these goods at
a discount of 10 and 5 from the
regular price, which enables us
to SAVE you "a cents on a So
article and $7.25 on a $50 ar
ticle ?"
why not do this with every
article you sell at a speci a
price? Why not BACK UP
THE STATEN ENT WITH
PROOF, if necessary?

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %, 1911.
Dear Dad: President Taft has writ
ten to a gentleman In Chicago that
he expects Secretary Ballinger to re-
sign by March 4. Thus IL is demon
strated once more that hope springs
eternal.
A Joint resolution favoring the
recognition of the republic OF Portn-
gal should be the business occupying
the head of the calendar in the house
of representatives and the United
States senate. What has become OF
this Joint resolution? Answer: IL has
not been introduced. Why?
Americans use more opium per
CAPITA than do the Chinese. This is
the startling statement made by WI
liam S. Schieffelin, president OF the
National wholesale druggists associa-
ton
"Of all the white races" said he,
I'VE are the most addicted to habit
forming drugs. and we use more
opium per capita than Is consumed
i'm the Chinese empire. Four nun
dred thousand pounds Of opium arc
ir,ported I'm the United States every
wear. probably eight times as much
as is required for the legitimate use
o: medicine"
