Rebels Cut FederaIs to Pieces.

Juarez, Mexico.-Of the Twentieth
Mexican infantry only thirty-five men
are still alive. OF the Twenty-ninth
Mexican infantry there are only fifty
survivors. Only three line officers in
both regiments remain.
After the battle of Jiminez, when
Orozco's rebels routed the federals in
q bloody conflict. only these officers
and handful of men struggled back
to Torreon-the broken remnant of
two of the best regiments in the Mexi-
can army which Madero had hurled
against the triumphant insurrectos.
This information, the first definite
news that has been received from
the scene Of the slaughter of the Ma
derista army in the four-day battle
near Jimfnez, was brought here by
a miner who made his way through
the rebel ranks by automobile to the
railroad after the frightful blood-let-
ting, which began a week ago.

sampIins and Real Advertising.

The manufacturers of food prod
uct whose advertising methods al de-
scribed in a recent issue OF Printers
Ink are said to be great believers in
sampling. The reason for their faith
are rather peculiar. They set aside
a certain arbitrary sum for distrib-
uting samples in a given locality. II
the resultant increase in sales in that
locality is equal to the expenditure for
sampling, the sampling is regarded as
successful advertising!
There are a dozen methods by which
almost any concern can advertise its
wares and recoup the advertising ex-
penditure. But the object Of most
business men-either manufacturers
or retailers-is to make their advertis-
ing pay for itself and produce the larg-
est possible surplus for the advertiser.
Really successful advertising is the
kind that brings the greatest results
to wit, and particularly for the ex-
ploitation of food product for which
there should be demand In every
home, daily newspaper advertising.
We do not condemn sampling. But
the result of sampling. compared with
the results of an intelligently-planne
newspaper campaign. are joke

too.
In his younger days he was greatly
distressed by the carelessness of his

silk petticoat in the back until there
was great frayed place at the band.
She continued to wear the petticoat
however, although her efforts to keep
on pinning it at the frayed place al
ways evoked little storm Of irrita-
tion and temper.
In vain her husband urged her to
mend It, Finally he decided that the
only way to reform his wife was to
fill her with remorse. So this future
commander of battle-ships with his
own hands ripped off the old frayed
band and sewed on new one. Then
he took it to his wife. She was great

the New York Herald recently an in
terview with DIR. R. Lincoln Graham.
in which the doctor puts himself on
record in favor of advertising.
Dr. Graham observes all the forms
prescribed by the ruling bodies OF the
medical profession in New York. but
he ia free in his criticism Of the atti-
tude he, with others, Is compelled to
assume thereby.
1lo odys NSPy thoI AAeAA1
New York physicians of unquestioned
professional standing practice self-ex-
plotting methods not SO commendable
as advertising.
He further states that If the profess
sional ban against advertising were
raised. 1t would add millions annually
to the incomes of physicians gener-
ally. 1t would also tighten the bur
den upon free clinics and dispensaries.
and enable specialists to reduce their
present necessarily prohibitive fees to
proportions the general public could
pay.
There is no doubt that the greater
proportion of the reputable medical
men OF the country will welcome the
time when they will be free to 'adver-
tise without impairing their profess
sional standing
And that time is gradually drawing
nearer for professional men all over
the country are beginning to realize
the value of advertising. and 1t won't
be long before their united demands
will compel the medical associations
to recognize this fact and to raise the

GUARANTEE OF GOOD FAITH

Advertising Is a guarantee of good

The advertising of local stores in

phases of modern business. Retail

men who prefer to tell the truth for
Its own sake. and would not cheat
their neighbors If they could.
OF course motives of self interest al
so warn them to take pains TO make
advertising accurate. for misstate-
ments produce disgruntled customers
who can make lot of trouble for a
store which depends for success on Its
townspeople.
II men OF less responsible charac-
ter sometimes go into retail trade.
they are too shrewd to make misstate-
ments in the cold publicity of adver-
Using type. Our experience is that
complaints of Misrepresentation are
almost never heard.
The public thus learns from expe-
rienoe that local store advertising is
Trustworthy. AS it deals with such
subjects OF surprising interest as cost
OF living and the fashions Of the day
every line of 1t is read with the most
discriminating attention.
People like to read and think about
shopping before visiting store A
great many purchasers are practical

Furthermore. liberal advertising

The firm. that does not advertise is
classed with the firm that seeks an
obscure location in some remote side
street, as too small to serve the pub

When firm advertises freely, 1t
gives the idea that it has a large trade

U. S. MAY INTERVENE
AMERICANS IN MEXICO ARE RE,

PERATE STRAITS.

Washington.-Accor to advices
from Toxic, Japan has secured from
Mexico the long-sought concession of
naval base at Magdalena bay, on
Mexican soil. The Monroe Doctrine is
thus violated. Washington believes
concession, to support the Mexican
government with men and money.
Japanese have long been accredited
with preparing for war with the
United States. Intervention of the
United States in the Mexican revolu-
tion now seems necessary, and such
Intervention woulu give Mexico eX-
help that Nippon would be glad to
give against the United States.
Americans in Mexico are regarded at
Washington as in desperate straits.
They may yet be crushed by allied
Mexicans and Japanese.
If United States troops should start
south, those allies may cross the Rio
Grande. The Magdalena deal prob
ably explains the recent doubling of
United States naval strength on the
Pacific, for which Washington has not
given any satisfactory reason, and
also the request made recently that
all steamers from United States ports
to Mexican ports should be held IN
readiness for any service that the
war and navy departments might ask.
Announcement of the granting OF the
concession also throws new light
upon the shipping to the United
States ambassador in Mexico City of
an indefinite number of army rifles
and an immense quantity of ammuni-
ton.
Despite the state departments
formal declaration that it has "abso-
lutely no information on the report
that Japan has secured a naval base
at Magdalena bay, Mexico, it
lieved here that news of the move
reaching here several days ago, mas
been fruitful source of the anxiety
plainly admitted by the state depart
ment officials as to the Mexican situ-
alton.
The Japanese victory was made
public in the following dispatch from
Toxic:
1T is reported here lin Tokio) that
negotiations between Mexico and
Japan were concluded few days ago
for the establishment of a large Jap
anese settlement at Magdalena bay,
but an American protest based on the
Monroe Doctrine is expected"
One year ago the American consul
at Manzanillo reported to the depart
ment that Japan was endeavoring to
obtain a naval base ostensibly for her
merchant vessels. Publicity and
prompt hints from the administration
that such move would be regarded
as violation of the Monroe Doctrine
led to official denials from the Japan
ese ambassador here. Ever since
that date the United States has kept
close watch on every move toward the
granting of such a base to Japan.
While the administration has here
tofore denied that Japan's negotiations
were successful, it is considered sig
nificant that the latest report merely
met with the statement that there
was no Information on the subject"
