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

Merchants handling provisions
should understand better than any
one else the value Of advertising. Fooo
ls the most vital need Of all. No 21n.
er advertising gets such interested
reading as a well-written notice oe-
scribing food offerings.
Manufacturers Of food products on
q national scale learned this some
time ago. Money Is poured out hke
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
lngs. 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 sample ad,
clipped from an article in the Pub
lishers' Guide:
Brandon's Corner Grocery. Remeu-
Der when in the city to make this

This is an excellent illustration OF
how not to do it, says the Moline (lil.)
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 II
goes. But it might go great deal
further.

ALCOHOL CAUSE OF DISEASE
Does More Than Anything Else to
Render People Incapable of With
standing Many Ills.

One OF the many prominent phys1-
clans and chemists who are no"
wont to take opportunity to frequently
pronounce against the use Of alcohohc
drink is DR.. G. Sims Woodhead, pro-
Sessor Of pathology at Cambridge
university, England. DR.. Wood heads
latest summing up is clear and strlk'
ing. and is set forth as follows:
alcohol is perhaps the most i'm
portant factor in the production OF
disease. It does more than anything
else to render people incapable OF
withstanding disease Alcohol pre-
pares the human body for the attacks
Of disease, just as did the extreme
heat of the past season, the straw for
the engine spark to set on fire. IL
can be proved that alcohol taken In
comparatively small quantities inter-
feres with the blood. It alters the
fluids very slightly indeed, but certain
substances become less active and
are unable to do their work so well
as usual. The fight between disease
and these substances becomes unfair,
the germs make use of their opportun1-
ties, invade the body and set up dis
ease.
Take, for instance, the scourage OF
tuberculosis. During the last ten
years the death rate from consump-
ton has been declining. In London
the decline was 19 per cent; in Paris
per cent. It Is significant in regard
to these figures that in this country
(Great Britain) the drink bill has
during the same period dropped from
s22.30 per head Of the population to
s16.55 per head, whereas in France 1t
q very different. In this country with
the decline of the consumption of al
cohol has come a lower death rate
from tuberculosis. We do not say this
was the sole cause, but We do remark
that the two things have gone on to-
gether. Better housing, clothing.
education, feeding, and conditions OF
life generally have had great deal to
do with the fall in the death rate. At
the bottom of all, however. We have
the gradual diminution, in the amount
Of money spent on drink. This Is a
tremendous gain to the nation.
1--WE. as medical men, have to do
all we can to point out to the people
that there Is very direct connection
between tuberculosis and the amount
Of alcohol consumed. To get rid Of
tuberculosis, we must, /of course, get
rid Of the tubercle bacillus. The ba-
cilius can only do its work when
placed in favorable conditions, and al
cohol has the faculty of tilling and
preparing the ground for its growth.
Were no alcohol in the soil, the bacii-
lus would iall on very stony ground.
BY taking alcohol the human being
renders himself more open to attack
by diseases Of various kinds, and I'M
pairs his faculties often to slight de-
gree. but sufficient to interfere with
his powers of doing good work. Alco-
hol we are satisfied is the doctors
worst friend because the doctor wants
to get his patients well. The total aD'
stainer will get well more quickly
than II he takes alcohol. and a great
many doctors believe it now. More
are coming to believe it every day"

What Mother Said.


There's a golden mine Of wisdom
In the things that Mother said.
And each words shining nugget
To enrich the path we tread.
Through, we falter by the wayside
Where vain hopes our footsteps led. {,
Mem'ry spurs fresh endeayor 4
For some thing that Mother said
When the rose of~Youth Is fading
In the garden Of our dreams.
And the mists Of Time are shading
Stars that burn with fltful CLEANS,
Hope will blossom as lily:
Skies will azure radiance spread.
When the heart recalls the wisdom
OF some things that Mother said.
Homely maxims heard In childhood
Leave their impress through the yea7s
When Lies Joys have well-nigh yanishe
In q wilderness Of tears:
Yet the suns will rise If splendor
To dispsl the doubts and dread.
And the heart grow warm and tender
For some thing that Mother said.
