SUMNER ADVERTISING.

Much can be learned OF the science
OF advertising for the average mer-
chant by studying the methods OF the
great department stores. These en-
poriums have been built up solely by
advertising and they pay high salaries
for the best brains in the advertising
business. Their conclusions. as may
be seen in the methods actually en-
ployed. represent the results OF ex-
haustive experiments in the art OF sell.
ing goods through newspaper space.
II is then highly significant that the
great department stores spend a lot
OF money through the summer in adj
vertising One reason for this policy
IS no doubt that a steady trade is the
most economical Where advertising
is allowed TO drop. or 10 be cut down.
trade drops too. The result Is that the
force OF clerks Is not probably en-.
ployed. Moreover. there is a loss OF
trade that will never be made ID.
People will wear their old clothes and
spend the money thus saved on amuse.
ments and travel. which otherwise
would go TO the home stores for new
clothes for themselves and their chill.

THE LoRImER CASE.

Lorimer says that he will not resign.
but will fight to the last ditch. Friends
OF Lorimer who have canvassed the
senate believe that a considerable ma.
jority OF the senate will vote against
him. II is not impossible. however.
that a vote on the Lorimer case will
be DELAYED for some time. The inter.
minable debates OF the senate will
probably prolong the case beyond the
present session. and the short session
next fall may be likewise consumed
Nevertheless the stained and dishon.
ored toga which Lorimer has worn 20
long Is likely 10 he taken from him.
Was II worth while TO have gained +,
in the manner he did and to have held
IL as he has?

bacon from the American manufac

mile OF railroad track. etc.
As all the representatives of Amer
