EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING
 BOOSTS BUSINESS OF BIG 7
 TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS
''Tale of the Turkish Trophy in The Farmer Demonstrates Modern
 Publicity Methods. ~

The very unique advertising carried by The Farmer, telling smokers of the splendid quality of Turkish Trophies, is along the line of advertising gotten out by The Cowen Go. of New York and Boston, one of the largest public ity agencies in the country. The man. ufacturers of those favorite cigarettes appreciate the value of newspaper ad- yertis1ng. They also appreciate the value of having their advertising cam paigns handled by expert spubIicists An analytic review of this series of advertisements by one who has made a study of the science of advertising will show that the three cardinal points of effect, publicity, namely, at tractiveness, appeal to interest and pertinent application of theme, are embodied in very forceful manner.
 It is understood through the dealers who handle the cigarettes that since this local advertising campaign be-
 gan, sales have increased rapidly This is mentioned because the cam paign is being talked of quite gener- ally about town by business people and others, and to emphasize the fact that the merchant or manufacturel who uses the newspaper to increase his business, must necessarily succeed if he~ has the merchandise to back uI his printed word, and prepares his copy in a clean, careful, forcefuI man. ner.
 The Cowen Company are to be con. graduated on the clean cut copy, the effectiveness of the text and the gen. eral attractiveness of the advertise
 ments of '"The Tales of the Turkish Trophies"

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
(Waterburv Democratl

(Waterbury Democrat)
 There is evidence of much disturb. ance throughout the state of Connec- ticut, relative to the tariff question in the coming campaign. And notwith- standing the fact that some of the newspapers of the state are trying. to throw cold water on the plan of the Democratic party whereby the plat form calls for tariff for revenue only, we uphold that this standpoint on the tariff question is the most logical way of looking at the issue under the pres ent conditions. It must be admitted that to plunge the country into free trade would be disasterous But this can be accomplished gradually by putting the tariff on sliding scale until it has been entirely done away with except for revenue purposes only. Right here in@Connecticut many of the leading industries are strenu- ously opposed to anything resembling free trade, and naturally,as they have been fostered and nutured in the arms of a high protective tariff. It helps up wages, the manufacturers claim, but of what advantage if it has all got to be paid back in consumption, for this is really what thkes place. The higher the protection, the higher is the price paid by the consumer. The United States has long since ceased to be struggling nation and its industries have grown to propor- tion where they are well protected in themselves and no longer need the as- sistance of a high protective tariff to compete with foreign industries. Pro- tection is fast becoming A an abuse whereby the tariff is being used for private gains and interests at the ex- pense of the consumer. And at pres ent, tariff levied for revenue only means a relief from the oppression. which is growing more and more. We have only to look at the advantages offered to the consumer in England to realize how great an imposition the high tariff is becoming. And while the change in adopting free trade system might be apparent to the manufacturers in short time, the deficit would be replaced. Every thing points to the fact that there must soon be a radical change in the tariff system, doing away with the in ordinate profits of the present meth ods. The fact that Roosevelt, the favored trust patron,'' has sounded the alarm by declaring for an imme- diate downward revision of the tariff, shows that he has already scented danger from that quarter even though his concern is insincere Taft has failed to make good in his term of of flee and to Woodrow wilson, the only logical candidate, is left the work of strengthening out one of the greatest tangles of the times.

U. s. FREE BAND
 OF APACHE INDIANS. Have Been Held Prisoners of War Since 1894 at Fort Sill, Okla.

A band of prisoners of war who have lbeefl in the custody of the United States since 1894 are to be released from their semi-imprisonment and re- tturned to the Indian reservation where years ago some of them organ liaed raids that filled the whole west ,ern country with terror. Provision for this will be made in the Indian appropriation bill now being consid- cred by the senate committee.
 In the early eighties the Apache Indians under Chief Geronimo com 1nftted crimes throughout the west of Hhe most horrifying character. Ali ter many futile efforts this old Indian fighter and his band were surrounded and captured. They surrendered In 1886 and in 1894 were sent to Fort Sill, Okla, where they since have been in later years they have lived on the reservation and acquired personal property of their own. To-day there are 257 of these Indians.
 Geronimo and others guilty of overt acts of insurrection and crime are dead, and many of those now at Fort Sill were young boys when taken
 All the government departments having anything to do with the In dians believe the time has come when under proper restrictions the mem bers of this one time fierce and cruel tribe can be placed on a reservation and begin to prepare themselves for holding lands in seyeralty and trans Iforming themselves into prosperous western farmers.
 They will be taken to the Mescalerc reservation, New Mexico, where is an other band of Apaches. Three white men, George Wrattan. Martin Grat , and E. L. Welchs all of whom fo1 more than twenty years have devot- themselves to the Apaches, will re ceive the same privileges with regar6 10 lands as are given to the Indians.

DR. SUN TAT SEN
 TRIES TO UNITE CHINESE PROGRESSIVES

Shanghai, July 1S-Dr. Sun Tat Sen, who is trying to weld the various diff ferent groups of Chinese progressives into a single political party, opened negotiations with Vice President Li Yuan Hang today to accept it's lead ership. Sun and most of the pro- gressives oppose the majority of Pres ident Yuan Shi Kai's policies. Sun always considered Yuan a reaction ary and only consented to. support him for President because he was afraid a prolongation of the contro- versy between his own and Yuan's supporters would wreck the new re- public. He makes no secret of the fact that he wants to get Yuan out of office before he has time to estab- fish a virtual dictatorship. Relations are also strained between Yuan and Ii. The latter thinks Yuan too much of mere politician.

RAILROAD TRESPASSER
 SUFFERS LOSS OF LEG
Robert Ellis of Bridgeport, Struck by
 Car While Sleeping on Track.

Shelton, July 18-An accident oc- cured here Tuesday night. shortly af- ter 10 o'clock, by which Robert Ellis lost his left leg and sustained the painful crushing of his right foot. El- lis who gives his age as seventy and his last residence as Bridgeport, came here yesterday morning and apparent
 ly spent most of the day calling. on
 people with whom he is acquainted in the associated communities. He visited several saloons during the af-
 ternoon drinking more or less. Dur-
 ing the day. Ellis met man named
 Sheldon Rice, who seems to be wan
 dering about from place to place and
 the two struck up an acquaintance which resulted in starting out togeth- CT, when tired, to find sleeping quar- ters. Both were somewhat the worse for drink and they finally struck up-
 on the vicinity of the local yard of the railroad as a promising place to spend
 the nighrt. They lay down near the
 upper end of the local yard and while
 Rice lay pretty well up on the bank,
 Ellis took up a more level position
 and one leg extended out over the switch track running close by the
 place.
 Unfortunately for Ellis there was
 an occasion to use this track during
 freight, E. J. Houck. conductor, in
 charge reached here 1t had orders to throw a car loaded with sand upon this track. Engineer John Wrenn
 obeying orders ran up above the switch and backing down, sent the car at full speed into the side track with Brakeman A. A. Gould on the car to manage the same. Gould had nearly reached the sleeping quarters of the men before he saw them, as it was one of the darkest places in the yard. and while he shouted to arouse Ellis he was unable to stop the car
 before it struck the sleeping man Gould saw the sleeping form of Rice
 near the track and fearing that lie too would be struck, jumped from the l car and drew Rice clear of the tra ck and held him until Officer Barnes came and took him in charge.
 The car passed over Ellis's leg and horribly mangled it and also crushed | the toes of his right foot, which he | threw in front of the rear wheels o1 ] the car as he felt theI shock of the ! wheels passing over his left leg.
 The alarm was given at once and Dr. F. l. Nett1eton summoned. He saw the serious nature of Ellis's in | juriesI. and called the ambulance from the Griffin hospital and the man was taken to that institution where ampu- tation was performed between the an
 kle and knee. Ellis was at the last re- port resting as we'll as could be ex- pected and it is thought he will re- cover from his injuries.

CRAFT UNIONISM AND l. W. W. WAR
 IN NEW BEDFORD

New Bedford, July 1S-With open warfare declared between the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and the In- dustrfal Workers of the World over the question of general strike to force the owners of the 12 largest mills to abolish the graduated pay system, the situation here was critical and an open rupture with rioting. between the two organizations threatened.
 Officials of class unions affiliated with the American Federation of La bor which advocates craft unions, ad- mitted today that their fight now is as much a fight for the life of their unions as it is for a fight of the cot ton mill operatives for a fair salary system. Because craft union officials have confused the issues, hundreds of their members already have deserted to the ranks of the Industrial Work CTS of the World. National Organ izer Parkinson. of the Industrial Workers of the World, declared 200 former craft union members joined the IT. w. W. today. and will henceforth fight to have a general strike called which will include the seven mills which granted the demands of the sun- ions.
 William Yates, who was one of the strong T. W. W. 1ieutenants who won the Lawrence strike, the success of which was responsible for salary ein-, creaSes for several hundred thousand New England mill operatives, today bitterly arraigned the American Fed eration of Labor and the United Tex tile Workers.
 Everybody knows" said Yates, sshow the American Federation of La bor and the United Textile Workers tried every means in their power to defeat the Lawrence fight and betray the Lawrence operatives to tie mill owners They are trying the same methods here but we won at Lawrence and we will win here, too. We can not win against a. cotton trust any more than we could against the wool trust unless we throw aside craft un- ionism and all join in the fight"

THE HORSES TEETH.

If anything of the horse kind eats we'll and still is thin and gaunt, look out for defective teeth. Even colts grind their teeth sharp at the cheeks or next the tongue sometimes. and then they are distressed. A few strokes of the file or float will relieve the trouble. Be sure to examine the moIars away back. This is easy by making the animal face the sun so it may shine back into the mouth.
