Now that the Chinese republic is

awakening fully as revolutionary as
was the movc which overthrew the
Eenturies-old Manchu dynasty and
placed Yuan Shi kai in power"

charge, lis a man known the world
over as a diplomat, a leader, and a
statesman. He has passed successfully
., through two of the greatest uprisings
4China ever has experienced-the Boxer
TROUBLES and the present revolution
'and he is so placed that his knowledge
of China and Chinese conditions will
enable him to govern the country fairly
and impartially.
1T is practically impossible, when
one is so far away. to say just what
may occur in China, but the outlook
now Is bright, and I hope and think
the republic, under President Yuan, will
soon pass into an era of prosperity
unparalleled in the past. She will take
her place among the great nations of
the world, the place to which she is
entitled by her immense spread of ter
,ritory. and her 400, 900, 900 of people, and
the nations of the West will view a
peaceful, commercial revolution along
side of which the awakening of the
past will be as the movements of one

5 Mysteriously
Die in a Family

CAMDEN, May 31.-Dazed and grief
stricken over the loss Of a fifth child
from a mysterious attack Of commissions,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Baumeister are hoping
today that the autopsy ordered by the
coroner upon the body of the latest vic
tim Of the strange malady will result in
revealing the cause of the recurrent af-
Fiction which has ~darkened their home.
When Baumeister and his wife sat at
a little cot in Cooper Hospital in this
city and saw their 5-year-old daughter
Rose die the little one writhed in Just
such commissions as had killed four others
Of their children, all In the last four
years, and all curiously, just as they
had attained the age of 5 years.
From the bed of the dead child they
turned to yet another cot where another
of their children, Alice. only 31s years old,
was also i'll of the strange commissions,
And in dumb wretchedness they waited
the coming of her death also. But little
Alice was spared to them for the time
at least. she had so far recovered that
the physicians gave her parents permits
sion to take her home.
But the man and his wife, as they
sat in their comfortable home at 267
Kaighn avenue, both wept as they ad-
mltted that they had little hope that
Alice would be spared to them long.
we have had seven children the
mother said, ''and but two remain with
us-Alice, the little girl who nearly died
today, and our son."

what he claims. If he signs his name to a bogus check he goes into
Jail; if he signs his name to bogus advertising he goes into bank
ruptcy. Every advertiser knows this, and so he is careful of what
he says. But the men who do not advertise do not have anything
to lose. They do not have TO be so careful of what they say. 1t is
merely a matter of personal integrity with them. There are many
thousands of fine merchants and honest men who do not advertise.
That is not the point. The question is how to find them and how
to tell them from the rest. When they advertise, they must be
honest if they hope to win.
And this is the value Of the Advertising Pages in this paper to-
day. These are the men who have signed their names. These are
the men who guarantee what they sell.
1t has been nearly three-quarters of a century ago since the
first great merchant, Alexander 7. Stewart, trusted his commercial
ship on the advertising sea. And singulary enough, this great man
was flying flags of distress when he advertised. He put out a little
dodger through the streets of New York, telling the people frankly
he had bought too much and would sell it cheap. And they came
to his store ani. wed his commercial life.
ANY man is careless who doesn't turn to the advertising news
for whatever he is going to buy, because the best merchants are
always the ones who advertise. They are the men who stand back
of what they do and say. They are the guarantee of good faith in
the business world.
Turn to their advertising pages now and see what they are Of
fering you today.
