How to Advertise.

Advertise to beat the band and get rich. How long do you s'pose Steers Hawbuck or Mongumery Wart would do business if they didn't send out catalogs every month and the oceans of big fellows they send out must cost them at least $1 piece in large quan- titles. The same with Mother Multi gan's Honkedory Soothing Syrup, Dr. Beatem's Pale Pills for Pink People and Brown River Toasted Corn Cobs. Why, if advertising did not make peo- pie call for these varieties they might go home with "something just as good" and ruin their digestion with Hi Blinkum's Baled Hay or Skinnem Foozle's Sawdust Jimjammer. The 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.

s.mpIlna and Real Advertising.

The manufacturers of food prod uct whose advertising methods ar de- gcribed 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 8 certain arbitrary sum for distrib- uting samples in given locality. If 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 ito 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- planned newspaper campaign. are a joke Philadelphia Record.

PROFESSIONAL MEN
 SHOULD ADVERTISE
By VIM. C. FREEMAN,

l have always been an ardent adyo- cate of advertising for professional men-iaWyers, physicians and den- tlsts-and have never been able to un. derstand the Ethics" which permit the seeking of free publicity in the news columns, but condemn the open and above-board business seeking ad, vertisement.
 l firmly believe that weIl-wrttten, forcefui advertisements in daily news. papers will build profitable practice Tor the reputable physician, dentist or iawyer-just as 1t builds a profit able business for the merchant and manufacturer
 That is why I was glad to see in the New York Herald recently an in- terview with Dr. 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 is free in his criticism of the atti. tude he, with others, is compelled to assume thereby
 He says very plainly that many New York physicians of unquestioned professional standing practice self-ex- plotting methods not so commendable as advertising.
 He further states that if the profes- sional ban against advertising were raised, it would add millions annually to the incomes Of physicians gener- ally. It 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 profes 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 ban against advertising.

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

Merchants handling provisions should understand better than any one else the value of advertising. Food Is the most vital need of all No oth- CT 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. It must pay, or 1t 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 8 sample ad, clipped from an article in the Pub lishers' Guide: .-
 Brandon's Corner Grocery. Remem- Der when in the city to make this your trading place Highest market prices paid for country produce, and always a square deal. We always carry a full line of staple and fancy groceries. Canned goods a speciality. Brandon's Corner Grocery. Phone 261.
 This Is an excellent illustration of how not to do it, says the Moline Ill) Dispatch. There is no selling power in that ad. It tells the public that Brandon is alive and wants their trade. which has value as far as it goes. But 1t might so . great deal further.
 The provision man who will men tion prices of some of his best lines, describe them bit so as to stir the appetite of the reader. will find his store crowded. Here are a few items from well written ad. showing how the trick is turned:
 Celery. Presley's white plume, crisp and tender, extra good flavor, large plant for 10 cents.
 Sweet cider, made from the choic. est apples. per gallon, 25 cents.
 Oysters. Our oysters come in san- itary sealed packages. The ice never touches. Remember our price. Solid meats, quart. 40 cents.
 Does 1t not make you hungry to read an ad, like this?

CONTRACT LET FOR
 CHEVELON BRIDGE

Word was received here this week that the contract for the bridge across Chevelon Creek has finally been let and that the work on the same is to be con- pleted within tour months.
 There were various bids re- ceived from bridge building con- panles but all conceded that it would take about four months to complete the work and the contract was awarded to the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Go. The price for which the work will be done was not given in the letter of information.
 The bridge is to be constructed entirely of steel with a concrete floor.
 The people of this community have been working for a bridge across this creek for the last five years and at last their wishes have been fulfilled. It is without doubt one of the most necessary improvements at the present time in this county.

Why PoIitenes. Ha. peoayed.

The Rev. R. S. de Courcy Laffan rector of St. Stephens, Walbrook preaching on Manners" said in this country we had never been people. perhaps, with a very high conception of what manners should be.
 In an omnibus the other day he saw one of a party of foreigners raise his hat to the conductor Two English people said to each other. What fools these foreigners are" A great many people argued that it was a good thing forms of politeness were becoming ob- solete. In the days of the motor. the typewriter and the telegraph we had no time for such things.
 The real reason why politeness had decayed was that people did not want to be bothered.-London Mail
