ADVERTISING is INVESTMENT
Experience, Tact and Special Knowl-
edge Necessary to Make the
Profits Certain.

There are certain laws that govern
all advertising and they are suggested
in the following questions, to which
every advertiser should have an an
swer before investing his money.
1. Is there any merit in the article
TO be advertised?
2. Am ] willing to tell the truth
about it?
3, Who are the people to be inter
ested?
4. What mediums or channels will
reach those people?
s. What are the talking points,"
6. What is the best way to tell my
story?
z. How much will it cost to do it
properly?
Having answers to these questions
does not finish the work TT select
what seems the best mediums and fill
the space with the talking points" is
not sufficient for good advertising
With the best of care advertising is
largely an experiment, and it is only
by watching and testing even the best
mediums that the most profit can be
made from the investment
The enormous sums spent In adver-
Using each year show plainly that il
pays or it would not continue, and the
fact that our competitors advertise
more and more each year necessitates
our advertising judiciously-if we wish
TO keep in the race.
The man who wishes to invest mon
ey in stocks will go to a broker for
tips. and the man who wishes to invest
money in advertising should follow the
same line of reasoning He should go
to a reliable agent. or employ a com
petent man to take entire charge of
it
Advertising today is an art, and re-
CURES experience, tact and special
knowledge of the art, and there are
men thoi oughly trained who are capa-
BILE of making the advertisement a
good estment.-Publicity

Physical deception, on the part q
the woman-men never indulge in
such yanities-is no legal ground
for divorce, at least at the Hub,
According to an opinion handed
down by Judge White, of the Suffolk
divorce court, in Boston, false teeth,
imported hair and cork leg" which
may have been part of the unsuspect-
ed paraphernalia of either husband or
wife before marriage, do not, upon
discovery after the ceremony, furnish
valid ground for divorce. Such DE-
fects," says the magistrate, "are COM
mon to humanity, and must be chanc-
ed by one contemplating connubial
bliss.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING
FOOD COMBINATION.

Four general principles gov
ern the combination Of foods:
First, those foods which digest
in about the same time should
be eaten together; second,
foods that are chemically in
harmonious should not be eaten
together, acid fruits and starch
es or acids and albuminous
foods, for instance; third, foods
that are similar by nature
should be combined rather than
those that differ, as for instance
animal foods, milk, honey, eggs;
prunes, figs, dates; cabbage, let
tuce, tomatoes; bread with 9TH
err cereals; apples, oranges,
peaches, grapes; raislns, figs,
prunes; fourth, fourteen ele-
ments are needed to support
life, in proportion varying ac-
cording to work, temperament,
health, climate, etc, and care
is needed to avoid taking too
much of snne, particularly al
bumen, and not enough Of 9th
ers. The best nutritiVe re:
suits are obtained when uni-a
form diet is adopted furnishing
all the elements in about the
same proportion as they are
found in the blood. 4. hit-or-
miss dietary, whether enc arti-
Gle at a meal or many Fan not
give the best results. In certain
conditions an exclusive diet of
a rood rich in some elements
but deficient in others, may be
highly beneficial, as grapes in
blood poisoning, buttermiIk in
Intestinal diseases, low protein
and carbohydrates when it is
necessary to reduce weight.

POLITICIANS UNWORTHY OF
HONEST MEMS VOTES.

The politician who seeks to arouse
and array a country sentiment against
the city, or vice versa, is an enemy IN
both city and country and should be.
regarded and treated as such. The
mere fact that a man is willing to
stoop to such methods should discred-
it him in the eyes of every thoughtful
and honest man. Such methods at
once stamp him as unworthy of the
support of any self-respecting voter,
and as an unfit man to hold an office
of public trust. The man who stoorB
to such a scheme to secure votes, who
is willing to disturb the peace of a
county, who is willing to set men
against each other for his own little
selfish aims, is a bad citizen. He
would resort to other expedients equal
ly as despicable, if he could, to &C
complish his purpose That men Of
intelligence and honor can tolerate
such characters, it is difficult to IN
derstand. They are certainly not
worthy of esteem, not worthy of sup
port, not worthy of office.
There is a certain type of cheap
politicians who frequently resort to
this method to influence votes in their
favor. They have nothing particular
ly to recommend them to voters.
Their personal character, their per
sonal ability, their personal qualifica-
tons, as general proposition, a"e
not such as would lead men to rally
to their support Knowing this in
their hearts, approaching their own
miserable weaknesses, they resort to
such trickery as that of arraying class
against class, section against section,
or city against country, as the condi-
tons may permit Whether they e
politicians on a national or state,
or purely local scale, they are Il
menace to prosperity, a danger t.
good government, a reflection on the
intelligence of the people as Il
whole Their sinister purpose is APP
parent, although at times they sue
coed in temporarily masking it. Il
the end they are always found to be
simply selfish. designing creatures,
having but one end in view, their own
pecuniary benefit, their own selfish
advancement.
Frown down the politician who
seeks to array country against city or
the reverse. He is the enemy of the
country, he is the enemy of the city
His protestations of friendship are
simply a cover for the promotion OF
his own selfish schemes. His hand
shaking is on parity with the rest
of his promises He has succeeded IL
deceiying many in the past but tn
day of successful deceit along tina;
line should be over. The man whc
puts up no better plea than that f1l
votes should be driven from the field
He is not fit to hold office; he is no;
worthy of the ballot in the hands Of
any conscientious, intelligent citizen
, The very baseness of his appeal marks
him as unfit for positions of respons
bility and trust.

ARMY ENLISTNIENTS,

increase, according to War Depart

spite the fact that the summer
months are always dull recruiting
periods, 2.075 men enlisted In the
regular service of the army during
July. One reason which might be
assigned to large increase in recruit
ing is the new enlistment law which
goes into effect on November /. This
law provides that every man enlist

four years of actual service and then
must hold himself in readiness as a
reserve for three more years. He
may be summoned at any time to
