HELP PREVENT FIRES.

.s
 The business men of the city should attend the Fire Prevention mass meet ing that is to be held here on May 21 and at which many experienced in surance mon and officials will deliv- CT addresses. The, State Fire Pre- vention Association wants to interest every man, woman and child in the work undertaken, not because tho prevention of fires will be beneficial to insurance companies alone, but be- cause it will prevent large conflagra- tions in cities and towns over the stEtE and lessen the loss of life from the fire demon. The plan outlined by the State Association is to rid the city of all debris and ignitable matter. such as waste paper, old shanties, out houses and unsafe buildings and waste matter stored in them in the business section. The association is also edu- eating the public as to the dangers of rubber hose in connecting gas stoves, and are waging a campaign against the parlor match, the safety match being preferred.
 Mayor Jordan, Secretary Spaulding, of the Chamber of Commerce. the Graphic and other local newspapers and many citizens have signified their readiness to aid in the fire prevention campaign. Similar campaigns have been waged in many states in recent months and excellent results have been obtained. In Ohio, after three years fire prevention campaign, the annual fire loss has been reduced from 52 per cent to less than 25 per cent.
 The recent action of the city coun- Gil in ordering all unsafe buildings and waste matter removed from the rear of downtown business houses is an initial step in the plan outlined by the State Fire Prevention Association to lessen the fire loss in this city and the council should continue the good work. It Is expected that every official, including the entire alder manic body, will be present at the Fire Prevention mass meeting in this city.

Sts:i!ized Coal.

Ccal in the mines is ono of the things freest from germs. Old-tlme doctors used to notice coal miners wounds healed fast, though bcsrimeo and besmeared with coal dust. For a long time it has been thought that breathing in coal dust caused lung dis cases in miners. Some experts find fresh coal is as good as sterilized, and say miners have lung trouble because they do not take tho trouble to put off their damp and sweaty clothing be- fore going from the mine to their homes, thus taking cold in the Gpen air walk. Experts say our miners ought to put on warm and dry clothes at the mouth of the mine, E8t 1t seems tho miners have minds of th,sil own, and although the coal companies in some places fixed up hot and cold water baths and dressing rooms at the mouth of the mines the men would not use them. but ent home to wash and dress, as had been their custom for generations.

TALE OF 2 JEWELRY STORES
One Merchant Lost Business and Closed Up While the Other Pros
 pered and Became Famous.

Once upon time a man rented store and stocked it with fake jew elry. Then he bought large advertis- ing space in the city papers and print ed big advertisements of the jeWelry he had for sale. And people came and bought and went away, but did not come again. And they said noth- ing to their neighbors about the jew elry they had bought, for they were ashamed of it. But some were wroth and made much talk to everyone they met, and called the merchant hard names, and threatened to do him bodily injury because of the worthless jeWelry he had sold them. But others, not knowing of this, saw the advertise ments and came and bought and went away and joined the company of knockers. And so it happened that when there were sufficient knockers the merchants business languished and he closed his store and departed for parts unknown.
 But another merchant offered good jewelry at fair prices, and few bought of him. But they came back. And some told their friends and neighbors of the good jewelry they had bought and where they had bought it. And they were not ashamed. So it hap pehed that when the boosters became numerous, and the knockers few, the merchants trade waxed great and he prospered exceedingly and his name became famous throughout the land And men said, faith (based on adver tising) without works (service) is dead.-American Artisan and Hard ware Record.

WE DENY THE ALLEGATION.

Attorney s. J. Hunt writes lengthy denunciation of the local newspapers in which he complains about "unwar- ranted slurs heaped upon" the coun- ty judge, and declares that he is mot in possession of any records, docu- ments or any other matter belonging to the county or the Bridge Com missioners.'' Nobody ever accused MT. Hunt of being in possession of anything of the kind, nor will we per- init him to mislead the public and charge the Graphic with heaping "un- warranted slurs' on Judge Philpot. He cannot show one line that the Graphic has published that reflects on Judge Philpot in the least. The only criticism the Graphic made of Judge Philpot was his action in em- blowing "extra counsel in the bond suit, that is absolutely unnecessary insofar as the county is concerned and especially after MT. Nixon had been offered the services of the bril- liant array of counsel now in the em- ploy of the Taxpayers Protective As sociatiOn.

 Yet 1t is very real and known Quan- tity,5 especially in business.

 You may not know 1t. You only know you like or dislike the propo- sition or the person behind the letter or the ad.-eyen before you know what the, letter or the ad. says. You are affected by the, atmosphere of the letter or ad-by its general visual form-by the psychological influ- ,ence."

Maybe you don't even read the letter-you don't know anything about the stand ing of the firm or person or the i'm. portance of the proposition 1t contains The cheap effect gives you cheap opinion.
