A Cure for the Substitution Evil

A Cure Tor the SUBSTITUTION EVIL.
A salesman of the National Biscuit
Company was lately talking to groc-
er in southern city who had laid in
stock of soda crackers put UP in a
5 cent package and made by COM
petftor Of the National Biscuit Com
pany. The grocer said that the reason
he carried the competitive article was
because prices on the imitation goods
were So much lower that it afforded
him an extra profit and that he
thought he could work them off on
his customers in place of Uneeda
Biscuit.
While they We're talking a colored
woman came into the store and asked
for a package of Uneeda Biscuit. To
show the National Biscuit Company's
salesman how easy it was to substi-
| tute, the proprietor himself waited on
!! the woman, showing her the imitation
4 package and advising her to take it.
] saying that it was just as good" as
Uneeda Biscuit. The colored woman
/ hesitated, and then said: mo. sch
dev is wanted for sickness, an my
missus san me for Uneeda Biscuit;
she is mighty partic'ler. an she
know. what she want, SO glib me
4 1needa Biscuit, boss
This is only one of many similar
instances that are constantly occurring
in an effort to substitute other goods
when Uneeda Biscuit are asked for
After all, isn't the best cure fol
substitution the making of first class
goods, and then the advertising o
4 them to consumers SO thoroughly ant
persistently that, like the coloret
4 woman. they are afraid to take an,
risk in buying something else?

about the Keokuk dam after having
had an interview with L. A. Hamill

keokuk gentlemen, while having gone
to Hot Springs for pleasure and
recreation, do not lose an opportunity
to boost Keokuk, the following from
the New Era of that city showing tneir
interest and zeal and loyalty to the
home town:
In few years Keokuk, Iowa, will
have within a radius of one hundred
miles population of one million and
a quarter people. according to l.. A.
Hamill, of that city, who is making a
visit to Hot Springs as a guest of
the Park hotel.
Mr. Hamill came here for his first
visit with Ira w. Wills and E. Ross
Baker, both prominent business men
of Keokuk, and the three Iowa men
are enjoying the splendid golf course
OF the Country Club.

OF country, gave the figures Of the
electric engineers for the prospective

power plant is in operation.
There will be 25o,00O horse power
of electric energy developed at the
dam and this will bring five people te
each horse power unit, according. tt
the statistics gathered from Other
places. The dam and power station
will cost the enormous total of $25,

Chicago boy was given the popular
verdict; the fight was the best staged
near Detroit in years and the winner

White fought mastery battle after
bad start and appeared to have Dix
on in danger of a knockout in the sew
enth and eighth rounds The first ses-
sion was the only tame on in the fight.
Thereafter White rushed the milling.
His blows landed solidly while Dixon
though extremely clever did not APP
pear to have much strength behind his
wallops.
White was cool throughout. but in
the first half of the fight he was be-
wildered by Dixons speed and style OF
fighting. White would rush Dixon &c

sists that x-Featherweight Champion
Abe Attell successfully put one over"
on him.
First Jeffries issued voluntary
statement to the effect that he had not
sent a telegram in weeks and charged
that Atteu had signed or caused his
name to be signed to the wire which
went north to Promoter Jim Coffroth
reading to the effect that AttelI had

as the featherweight champion.
Next came a statement made by At

local sport writer, had written the

Davidson says that it was Atteli who
wrote the message and induced JEFF

any of his first basemen out of fast
company. All of the four first sack
ers owned by the Browns except Sto-
vail are first year men and purchase ed
players, which means wallace may get
a good trade for one first baseman. The
Browns this morning took a long hike

Kansas City lad always bounced back
aud landed a left before White could
get his guard up.
In the sixth round White solved Dix
on's defense to some extent and in the
following number, knocked him clear
through the ropes Dixon came back
gamely, but from then on to the end
his was a losing battle. White landed
succession of such stiff punches to
the face and body Dixon was glad when
the ball rang.
In the eighth White began to force
matters again. evidently trying for a
knockout. But here Dixon's clever
ness blocked him again. The Chicago
boy landed several times, but could not
reach the point of the jaw. Dixon dis
played an ability to fight from any an
gle. getting in some good blows when
White was not expecting an onslaught.
Dixon was cut up at the end, while
White did not have a mark on him.
