but Watchfulness of Railroad
Men Brings Their Efforts
to Naught.

At long railway trestle near San

it failed was due to the watchfulnegs

NO PROOF OF CHARGES
Senators Force Blaine to kd-
nit the Fact.

At Milwaukee Tuesday the charges
that United States Senator Isaac Z e.
phenson of Wisconsin obtained his
election through bribery and that he
spent $107,793 corruptly to influence
voters, were put by the United
senate investigating committee square
ly up to John J. Blaine, state soma
tor who brought the charges.
As a result, Blaine admitted he mad
no facts Or information personally
known by him to be true upon which to
substantiate his charges. He admitted
the charges were based largely on
newspaper editorials, political speech
es and hearsay.
and upon such information you
were willing to make allegations which
might jeOardize United States SEN
ator and which if proven true might
send him to the penite Ciary-is that
true?" asked Senator Hepburn, the
chairman.
To this question Blaine made no an
swer other than that he thought he
was forming a public duty by hav-
ing an investigation Of what he said
was current report.

JOHN M. HARLAN DEAD
Veteran Supreme Court Justice Passes
Away Suddenly.

Associate Justice John Marshall Har-
Ian of the United States supreme court
died suddenly at his home in Wash
ington.
Justice Harlan was stricken with an
attack of bronchitis. At his advanced
age the family was alarmed. and ali
the jurist's children were summoned.
With the exception of the son, Richard,
they were all at his bedside when he
died, as was Mrs. Harlan.
Justice Harlan attended the opening
session of the supreme court last Mon
day. He also was present on Tuesday,
when the arguments in the anthra-
cite coal case were begun.
There was no member of the SUI
preme court more widely known than
Justice Harlan. He has been called
the most independent of the justices.
He was noted for his dissenting opin-
ions. In the Standard Oil and Tobac-
co trust cases, recently decided, his
dissenting opinion was as widely quot
ed as the opinion of the majority OF
the court.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One. How
it Can be Done in Edgerton

The back aches at times with dull,
indescribable feeling, making you weary
and restless; piercing pains shoot across
the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame to stoop is agony.
Mo use to rub or apply plaster to the
back in this condition. You cannot
reach the cause. Exchange the bad
back for a new and stronger one. Ed
gerton residents would do we'll to profit
by the following example:
Benjamin Shallcross, 269 S River ST.,
GAINESVILLE, Wis, says: 1.-TWO years
ago I had great deal of trouble from
inactive kidneys. The secretions from
kidneys contained sediment and were
otherwise disordered My back became
so lame that it was difficult for me to
stoop or lift and I became all run down.
After using Doan's Kidney Pills a short
time, these symptoms of kidney COM
plant disappeared and l enjoyed much
better health. | could not be induced
to endorse Doan's Kidney Pills were I
not certain of their merits.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BIT
WILLIAM G. FREEMAN.

THE REGAL SHOE CON-
PANY has given us all a new
idea in advertising, which,
thus far, has proven to be
IT R E M E NDOUSLY RE-
SULTFUL to them.
Advertisements have ap-
tpeared in newspapers in
'scities where the Regal Com
Spany operates its own stores
telling the public of its plan of
J selling shoes at a NET
'PROFlT OF FIVE PER
Il CENT, a small enough net
profit on which to do business.
One of the advertisements
printed gave in detail the cost
of all parts of a shoe, and then
added the cost of Selling-get-
ting down to FRACTIONS
OF A CENT, and then giving
the total cost.
A shoe which cost $500 to
produce, including the pro-
portion charged up to shipping,
rent, light, heat, clerks -
EVERYTHING-is sold to the
consumer for s4.2o, the 90
cents added being SO of the
total cost.
The selling of a shoe at
1920, or S3.35, or S5.45 is a
novelty in Shoe-pricing. Prices
usually run on the even
a1nount-S3.5O, 81, and so on.
I The Regal Company oper-
rated successfully for many
years, establishing its prices in
the old, regulation way-but if
now upSetS shoe traditions and
starts all over again with a
NEW policy.
| am told that the second
week after the advertising
started, the Company did a
GREATER BUSINESS than il
ever did in its history in one
weeks time.
The experiment is being
watched eagerly all over the
country, and if it continues TO
work as it has done to date
other companies will adopt
the same plan.
(, This style of advertising is
a tribute to the PUBLiC'S
. DEMAND FOR FRANK
NESS in advertising.
The people want details
frankly told in advertisements
and THEY RESPONDLiBEP'
ALLY when they get them.
ITO be continued.
