CHEWING GUM FAR AHEAD
IN BATTLE FOR CHARITY
Speaker at Missionary Meeting Says for Every $1,000
Given to Charitable Work, $1,000 Is Spent
for Gum-OfficerS Elected

According TO a statement before a
meeting of the Womens Foreign Mis-
sionary Society of the Presbytery of
Washington yesterday afternoon, an in
teresting statement regarding the money
spent for chewing gum and that given
to charity was made.
The speaker was Miss Mary w. Kerr,
of Harrisburg, Pa. in connection with
the topic of "Frenzied finance in mis-
sions." In urging the society to be more
liberal in its contributions to charitable
work, she said:
For every 5000 contributed to charity.
$1,000 is spent for chewing gum"
The statement passed almost unnoticed
except by few, who saw the pertinence
and logic of the remark. In addition to
the discussion Of various topics, officers

ADVERTISING TALKS,
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c: FREEMAN

GEORGE WASHINGTON,
whose birthday we celebrate to-

AN ADVERTISEMENT that

his father accused him of cutting
down a cherry tree, and he ac-
knowledged that he had done so
by saying:

ago did some very STRAIGHT,
although very crude, advertising.
Later on, some of the Younger
merchants (who thought the old
fellows were not progressive
enough) commenced to do what
they thought was MORE MOD
ERN ADVERTISING-that is.
they tried to attract people by
making glaring announcements
that were not wholly based on
fact.
This sort of advertising
reached its climax when one P.
T. BARNUM came to the front.
He had many irnitators for a
number of years, and has a few
now, but it is satisfactory to note
that the modern merchant is
adopting the PRINCIPLES of
our forefathers and is giving the
public truthful advertising.
The UP-TO-DATE THINK-.
ING MERCHANT is paraphras-
ing the motto that has been at
tached to Wasllington's name in
this way
Il WILL NOT LIE"
And he is wise, because nobody
attaches any importance to man
