ADVERTISING FOOD PRODUCTS
Statement of Prices and Description Of
Goods More Apt to Get Business
Than Generalities.

Merchants handling provisions
should understand better than any
one else the value of advertising Food
is the most vital need of all. No 9th
er advertising gets such interested
reading as a well-written notice de-
scribing food offerings.
Manufacturers of food products on
a national scale learned this some
time ago. Money is poured out like
water to advertise food products in
the magazines. 1t must pay, or it
would not be spent
Yet. in the local newspapers. the
grocers. butchers. and other provision
men do not advertise with the free
dom shown in the dry goods, furnish
ings, furniture and other trades.
Probably the reason for this is that
many merchants of this type never
studied advertising enough to realize
It's possibilities Here is a sample ad,
clipped from an article in the Pub
fishers Guide;

groceries. Canned goods a specially.
Brandon's Corner Grocery. Phone

This is an excellent illustration of
how not to do it, says the Moline Oll)
Dispatch. There is no selling power
in that ad 1t tells the public that
Brandon is alive and wants their
trade. which has value as far as it
goes. But 1t might go a great deal
further

appetite OF the reader, will find his

the trick is turned:

How to Advertise.

Advertise to beat the band and get

them at least 81 a piece in large guam

Beatem's Pale Pills for Pink People

pie call for these varieties they might

good" and ruin their digestion with
Hi Blinkum's Baled Hay or Skinnem

man that doesn't advertise. as Bryan
once said. is like the fellow that
throws kisses at his sweetheart in
the dark. He may know what he is
doing, but she doesn't and that is
where the rub comes.-Ex.

A VERY FINE COMPLIMENT TO
JUDGE CRISP

The National Magazine, which en-
joys an extensive circulation and de-
votes considerable space in every is
sue to men of prominence in political
life, makes the following comments
in a current issue on Judge Charles
r Crisp that will be read with inter
est by his friends throughout the
Third District:
AT the right hand of Speaker
Champ Clark sits Charles R. Crisp
who has succeeded Congressman
Asher R. Kinds as Parliamentarian.
Judge Crisp is the son of the late
Honorable Charles Frederick Crisp,
of Georgia, who was Speaker of the
House during the ffty-second and
fifty-third congresses. The son acted
as private secretar'' to his illustrious
father in Washington during the lat
ter's incumbency, and became some
what of an authority in parliamen
tary law. Speaker Clark remembered
this when ascending to the speaker
ship and appointed the young Geor-
gian as parliamentarian of the House
Mr.. Crisp is Georgia educated and he
has served one term in congress, hav
ing been chosen by unanimous vote to
ill the unexpired term of his father.
After this service he practiced law in
his home, Americas, Georgia, and was
laer promoted to the bench. AS a
judge impartial it made him noted far
and wide throughout his state.
Judge Crisp has not only been a
close student of public questions but
has spent much time in the actual
performance of public duties. He is
a progressive, Woodworking young
fellow, a true son of his father, and
is as beloved by the home folks in
Georgia as was the late Speaker. The
announcement of his candidacy for
Congress from the Third district OF
Georgia has been received with en-
thusiasm and qualification. When he
comes to his active work as a member
of Congress from Georgia his broad
experience at the Speakers stand
should serve him we'll"

ATLANTA BEGAN WORK
ON 4 STATE FUND
For Relief of Survivors OF The Titanic
Disaster.

Atlanta, Ga, April 19.-AtlaHta has
opened relief fund, in which other
Georgia cities will be asked to join,
for the destitute survivors of the III
tanic disaster. The governor Of the
state, Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown, warmly
commends the movement and says he
will give it all the support he can,
1t is announced that every name
and every contribution, no matter no"
small, will be gratefully acknowledges
by the Atlanta newspapers which have
taken the matter in hand. The Al
lanta Georgian, in connection with the
other Hearst newspapers OF the Unit
ed States, will head the movement
and Mr.. Hearst has already headed
the list of contributions with a CHECK
for one thousand dollars.
1t is stated that the lord mayor OIL
London has opened subscription u
that city, the fund to be given to the
English survivors of the disaster. AS
the larger part of the survivors are
Americans, and they are practicailF
without anything now, the need 10
immediate help is pressing. AS there
were Georgians aboard the ill-fateu
vessel, it is expected that Georgia VIII
do its share in contributing to the
fund for destitute survivors.

The political preacher does not APP
peal to Mayor Gaynor, of New York,
who recently expressed himself about
this class, as follows: There are
ministers who cannot get partisan
bitterness out of their hearts and
heads, and who stir up more strife
and infiict more cruelty on men in
public office than any other class. The
nearer they can get to the line OF
scandal the better they like it, so

TAFT WEAK ON TARIFF REFORM.

In substance, President .Tafts ad-
dress few days ago to the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association
was protest against any medication
of the tariff without recommendations
by committee or commission of ex-
perts. He said nothing in his speech
to indicate what he will do with
the wool and cotton bills likely to
come before him before very long.
He was careful, however, not to pledge
himself to sign any such bills, even f
they were based upon the reports o.
the experts whom he himself appoint
ed.
There is no controversy as to the
general proposition set forth by Mr.
Taft in his address. "The question
before the country" Brooklyn
Citizen says, lis not whether we shall
continue the protective system, but
whether certain notorious abuses Of
that system shall be corrected. Had
the President been entirely frank he
would have made this clear to the
gentlemen whom he was addressing.
and many of whom. to his personal
knowledge. are in the enjoyment of a
measure of protection greatly in ex-
cess of what is fair to the public"
The Presidents speech shows that
he is man who takes refuge in pla-
titudes, and while this may strength
en- the desire of the standpatters to
fave him renominated, it will weaken
the confidence of the people in him.
lie would be quite happy if he could
dodge the tariff question, but that is
impossible.
