LOGIC OF ADVERTISING.
Selling Cost Reduction and Per-
sonal Selection Considered.
BY ALBION LEWIS HcLSEY.

~ $AAooA" LII w AISL0L1
When the colored business men
OF the country realize that adver-
tising reduces the selling cost
Of any article it will not only
encourage more to go into busi-
ness, but the companies that do
the advertising will find larger
margin of profit at the end of the
years business.
Advertising an article or
proposition is simply giving it
"personal' introduction to the
public, and the extent Of this
acquaintance is the same as our
relationship with one another.
When we meet people day after
day and find them in straight
forward, businesslike attitude
we unconsciously form an opin-
ion of them which is inspired by
confidence.
When the public meets day aft
er day, week after week, the ad-
vertisement of any company
written in an honest, convincing
manner it forms an opinion of
the merits of the company which
is expressed in frequent orders
and continued patronage.
BY knowing an advertised ar
ticle the public saves time itself
and the stores make quicker and
more frequent sales, because the
buyer does not have to exam
inc number of brands, but sim
ply asks for Jones or Smiths.
The same principle applies to
stores. People simply get the
habit of shopping at stores that
are truthfully advertised There
fore the progressive merchant
not only advertises his store, but
he always keeps supply of ad-
vertiSed. trademarked goods.

HOUSEWORK IS "A HEAVY BURDEN

The oma who skeeps house, has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if abe is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, homework becomes
q heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
TIT clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain Of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache. bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues,' and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the SEX, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means SO much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
ous, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.

The smallest boy had broken

shrieked. You'll bust it all in, an

But the fat boy, fiat on his stom-

steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tonlmy's clinging fingerA
Once the ice made a cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay.
But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer
and nearer he came, and finally his
outstretched hands caught those cling

TOLSTOY'S TRIBUTE TO
ABRAHAM LINCOLN


OF all the great national heroes and
statesmen of history, Lincoln is the only
real giant. Alexander, Frederick the
Great, Caesar, Napoleon, Gladstone and
even washington stand in greatness of
character, in depth of feeling and in a
certain moral power far behind Lin
coin. Lincoln was a man of whom a
nation has a right to be proud; he was
a Christ in miniature, a saint of hu-
manity. who's name will live thous-
ands of years in the legends of future
generations.
Now, why was Lincoln so great that
he overshadows all other national
heroes? He really vas not a great gen
eral, like Napoleon or Washington: he
was not such a skillful statesman as
Gladstone or Frederick the Great; but
his supremacy expresses itself alto
gether in his peculiar moral power and
in the greatness Of his character. 1t is
natural that before he reached his goal
he had to walk the highway Of mis-
takes. But we find him, nevertheless.
in every tendency true to one main
motive, and that was to benefit man
great through his smallness. If he had
failed to become president, he would
be, no doubt, just as great as he is now,
but only God could appreciate it.
Washington vas a typical American,
Napoleon was a typical F%renchman,
but Lincoln was a humanitarium as
broad as the world. He was bigger
thai his c~ountry-bigger than all the
presidents together. Why? Because
he loved his enemies as himself, and
because he was a universal Individual
list who wanted to see himself In the
world-not to world in himself. He was
great through his simplicity and was
noble through his charity.
Lincoln is a strong type OF those who
make for truth n justice, for brother
hood and freedom. Love is the foun-
dation of his life. That is wha makes
him immortal and tina Is the quality
OF q giant. l hope that his centenary
birthday will create an impulse toward
righteousness among the nations. Lin
coin lived and died a hero, and as a
great character he will live as long as
the world lives. May his life long bless
humanity.

Mr.. Gustav Himmelreich, Hochheim,

For a number of years I suffered when

him one day:
A mar who kept a ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of a neighbor till
be should return. The neighbor in,
cautiously opened the cage door, and
the ferret escaped. The owner vas
very angry, and brought a claim
against him for damages.
The following was the decision OF
the learned bailie: Nae doot," he
said to the neighbor; mae doot We
was wrang to open the cage door;
"but," he added, turning to the owner
I'VE was wrang, too. What for did ye

never had any. All my grandparents
died before I was born"
But you had grandparents, just the
same, DEAR" interpolated a listening
adult. "The fact that they died before
you was born doesn't alter the fact
that they were your grandparents"
But If our father and mothers had
died before we were born they
wouldn't have been our fathers and
mothers, would they?" the wondering
child questioned. $50 / don't see how

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
Is. In most every case due to consti.
patton or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
%purgatiye waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
It's effect, Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for a sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, POI Washington St, Monti,
cello, Ill; he will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
