HAVE FAITH IN ADVERTISING.

One OF Chicago's big mail-order
supply houses cleared, in profit, in
1910 100000, so it will be seen they
are not in business merely for the
accommodation Of the public, but
listen:
How do these houses reach the
people?
Isn't it by advertising?
Yes, you will have to admit or ex-
pose your ignorance.
Country merchants will frankly
admit that this is the way it is done,
and yet. withhold their advertise
ments from the local paper, which
stands between them and the mail
order house, and allow the big con-
Germ to talk to their customers in
print day in and day out through the
magazines and farm and family jour
mails, and never say a word in their
own defense or in print of their goods
or prices through their medium, the
home paper, which is as eagerly read
by their customers as are the maya
| zines carrying the advertisements of
the mail-order houses-continually.
When, country merchants wake up

vertising, then take up the same
methods, systematically and persis-
emily, they will soon be selling the
FOODS used by the people in their
territory and the M. o. concerns will

Of support.
Country merchants have a system

Not one man in ten in business in

Children and Flies.

81 believe declares DIR.
Woods Hutchinson, the noted
writer on medical topics, that
we could utilize an enormous
amount of good enthusiasm and
good human activity now going
ito waste under the name of mis-
chief if we could put the boys
to work on the fly problem" In
the fight waged against yellow
fever by American physicians In
our sub-tropical dependencies the
children were found to be of the
very greatest assistance In des-
troying the breeding places of the
death-dealing mosquito. Older
people were apathetic but once a
child's interest in the new kind
of sport was developed, he or she
became indefatigable In pursuing
it, with incalculable benefit re-
sulting to the community.
San Antonio, Texas, inaugural
ed a thorough mosquito campaign
in it's public schools, teaching the
children the natural history of the
insect, illustrating its growth in
| well-equipped aquariums and sug-
costing the best ways of attack
ing them. The result was that in
the neighborhood of 10000 active
| energetic mosquito destroyers
were let loose upon the San An
tonic breed with very gratifying
results.
The same step is practical when
it comes to the campaign against
| the house-fy. Almost any child
at odd times may be found pur-
suing flies merely for the pleas
ure to be derived from tearing off
| the wings. This practice is an
example of the absolutely thought
less cruelty to animals which is
every child's inheritance from a
remote past but it is also evi-
| dence that children would not be
hard to interest in the fly cam
naign, instead of pursuing indivi-
dual specimens and destroying
| them the children could easily be
led to recognize spots especially
adapted to the breeding of flies
and taught how to abolish such
sources Of danger.
The thing cannot be done If the
practical part of the enterprise
is brought too prominently to the
front. This would make the
children's efforts resemble work
too closely. Advocating such a
step in Columbia. The State re-

Ambruiller, age Is years. residing on
San Jose avenue, is minus his first
finger and Ernest Miller, one year his
senior, living on Fountain street. is
going around with his hand in a sling

The fact that Ambrullier lost his
thumb first and tainted kept Miller
from going through with the entire
operation. When Ambrullier had
clipped of the nail with the ak Miller
went into the house crying and told
the story.
When questioned as to the compact

make sure of life's friendship they
decided that each should cut OF a

Several Young Women at the
Reid Hospital Will Get
Diplomas Thursday.

Much attention is being given the
Training School for Nurses at Reid
Memorial hospital by the board of
managers and Miss Mary B. Sellers,

islation and includes class work and
lectures with varied experience in
medical, surgical. and obstetrical nurs-
ing. Teaching is also given in the
=
and diet Kitchen; and to nurses who
show adoption and executive ability,
will be taught head nurse work and
general hospital management
I'VE make every effort to meet the
highest requirements of the nursing
profession. in the education of the
nurse and in her development as a
broad minded and well trained woman,
both before and after graduation. A
monthly allowance is given to help de-
fray expenses of text books and uni
forms. A pleasant and comfortable
home with large grounds aid in her
physical health and general happi-
ness
Those who wish to enroll in the
first year class are requested to ad.

FAMOUS OLD JAIL
TO Be TORN DOWN
Bastile of Bexar County,
Texas, Harbored Many
Frontier Criminals.
(National News Association


San Antonio, Tex, June 24.-The
Bexar county Jail in this city, which
has held back of its walls some ia
nous criminals, will give way to a
modern up-to-date structure, work of
demolishing the old building having
begun yesterday.
Many famous frontier criminals have
been restrained in this old prison. but
in it's entire history only one man
succeeded in making his escape. On
June 5th, 1885, J. u. Mcdaniel. arrest
ed on a charge of stage robbery ,es-
capped from the Jail by removing one
of the stones in the side of the wall
Thirty days later, Mcdaniel was run
down on the lyman ranch thirty miles
from San Antonio where he made a
stand and was killed. Being re-
sourceful man, it is quite sure that
Mcdaniel would have made good his
escape had it not been for a desire to
see his sweetheart, and having return
ed to her fathers home on the lyman
ranch. Here he was overtaken by a
posse which was searching for him, he
resisted arrest, his sweetheart hand
ling a gun in his defense, and was
finally shot down. Upon the whole,
the story of McDaniers arrest and
subsequent death is one of the most
pathetic and picturesque stories of
frontier criminal life. Mcdaniel and
his sweetheart had been lovers from
childhood, the father of the girl moved
from Southern Ohio to the Texas from
tier early in the seventies. A year or
two later, Mcdaniel followed. His
chief desire was to get rich quick,
make the young woman his wife and
return to Ohio. Stage robbery as the
shortest route to wealth appealed to
him and a number of hold-ups followed
in quick succession. Mcdaniel had a
partner in his crimes in the person OF
L. A. Potted. Both men were ar
rested at the same time Potted was
subsequently tried and sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. Last year
he was pardoned by the governor and
is now at his home few miles from
this city. The great stone walls of
the old jail indicate that it would be
impossible for anyone to remove a
stone, but Mcdaniel turned the trick
with q number of knitting needles for
tools which were handed to him by his
sweetheart
