WOULD ADVERTISE CHURCH
Milwaukee Minister Tells of What He
Could Do If He Were Million
aire Layman.

Rev. w T. Dorward, in a sermon at
Milwaukee the other Sunday, told his
congregation what he would do to ad-
vertise his church if he were a mil
1ionaire layman He said:
Il would advertise in all our city
papers, paying the same price for
space as do our city merchants. l
would use printers ink freely in every
sensible way. | would have in glar-
ing letters of electricity the name of
my church. 1t would burn and glow
every night in the finest place in the
city that money could buy and in
such a way that the biggest firm in
Dur city would pale in insignificance.
| would help with my money to make
my church the most attractive place
In the city-attractive outside and in.
would have an institute for boys
and men, girls and women.
But having said all this as mil
iionaire and Christian, would try to
remember that my church, in spite of
this advertising glare and flare would
soon die of dry rot unless the spiritual
light were kept constantly burning
am sorry we have not a millionaire
of this type in our church. If you find
him, tell him l desire to see him at

FAKE ADVERTISING A CRIME
A Clear Conscience the Reward for
Publisher Who Refuses to Print
Deceptive Matter.

In an address to the students of the
Northwestern University School OF
Commerce A. P. Johnson, advertising
manager of the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, said:
THE greatest drawback in the de-
velopment of modern-day advertising
comes from the same source that I'M
iermines all other professional and
commercial enterprises-the takers,
schemers and promoters of fraudulent
undertakings that depend upon adver-
tising to accomplish a dishonest pur-
pose.
1.-THE publisher of any medium hav-
ing a general circulation, whose edi-
torial columns are read and accepted
I'm good faith by the public, whose
opinions on the political and economic
questions Of the day are read and be-
Aeved, and who, at the same time, ac-
cepts and prints advertising which he
knows is fraudulent. deceptive and
disappearing commits the great
est social and civil crime ever perpe-
trated on a civilized community.

EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT II
THE CITY GOVERNMENT

Is there not danger that Americas
is exceeding the speed limit in the
way of appropriations and disburse-
ments?
OF course we all want a metrepol-
itan city here we would like to have
every convenience that is possessed
by cities of larger population and
much greater wealth. AS a matter If
fact we already have them on minor
scale.
But there comes a time, even in the
larger cities, when halt must be call
ed when the expenditures threaten to
outrun the income. Such may really
be said to be the case just now
with Americas.
AS Mayor Mathis has pointed out in
his remarks to the City Council, and
to the public in interviews in the
Times Recorder, the income of the
city naturally increases somewhat
slowly.
The expenses of the departemnts,
and the demands made from various
organizations for assistance, more
than absorbs the amount available af-
ter the fixed expenses are met.
Still the tendency to spread out, 10
widen the operations of the municipal
government and increase its outlay,
! seems to grow stronger.
The question may as we'll be asked
now as later-or when it is too late
where is the money to come from? II
takes money to have sub-fire stations
and other features that seem to be
called for. Where is the money t o
come from?
Property owners do not want any
higher assessments than they now pay
taxes on.
Business men do not want higher
business taxes levied on them
But if the money must be had these
are the only two means available to
raise it for municipal purposes.
Mayor Mathis is right. Take a
breathing spell, now, let the city catch
up little, and then resume the
great onward march that means larger
expenditures.
There really is such a thing as ex-
ceeding the speed limit as regards the
financial operations of the city go7-

Dust little addition to Rudyard Kip
e.. 3. ling's famous poem.)
When the young lad sits in silence
and his eyes are filled with
tears,
And the awe of mothers slippers fills
poor Johnny full of fears,
Then, in thought of other whippings
he just knows it cannot fail
That the female of the species is more
deadly than the male.
Yet when Johnny's very naughty, and
his mother talks to pa,
And insists that father straightWay
shall lay down parental law,
And then stays the hand, descending,
that makes little Johnny quail -
Father knows the female species is far
mightier than the male.
When the love-sick swain his sweet
heart takes to theatres and
balls,
And he sports a lordly dress suit
when his purse says overalls,
And he spends his last round dollar,
and starts out to earn more
All! the female of the species is more
costly than the male.
When the lover takes his grille, and
the gas is turned down low,
And he whispers he adores her, just
as if she didn't know
And she cries, This is so student" as
she scans his face so pale
Then the female of the species is
more artfuA than the male.
When the parson stands before them,
to unite the twain for life,
And the youth, all trembling, STAN
mers he will take her for his
wife
Then the girl makes answers firmly,
though she looks so sweet and
frail,
And the female of the species is much
drawer than the male.
When the husbands head is aching,
and the chills run down his
spine,
And the doctor gives him potions, and
large doses of quinine,
And she waits upon him gently, as she
listens to him rail
Then the female of the species is the
nurse upon the male.
Thus in childhood, youth. and old
age, does the woman dominate:
And she rules the life of all men, be

In careful analysis of Governor
EaTmon's career the Pensacola, Fla,

who compelled the special interests to

lowering the rate to the small prop

the excessive and unjust burdens Of
taxation; the first chief executive to
introduce business methods into the
conduct of state institutions. The

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. T. ]. ALLEN
Food Specialist
oVERFEEDING OF INFANTS.

"The chiId's capacity for food
is limited" says DR.. w. j. Ma
Ioney, in the "Practitioner," "but
the instinct to suck prevails
each time the breast is offered.
Hence among musings over
feeding is rife and alimentary
disorders common" Ttis point
has been frequently emphasized
in these hints. 1t is important
that the infant be fed regularly
and adequately, but overfeeding
is far more common than under
feeding. AS DR.. Maloney says,
"A nursing mother admits hun
ger as the only cause of an in
fant's tears" The fact that the
cry is stopped when the atten-
ton is diverted is not a good
reason for supposing always that
need of food was the real cause
of the crying, and appetite is as
likely to be abnormal in the in
FAINT as in the adult, from over
feeding, lack of proper exercise,
and other causes. If the num-
Der of feelings were reduced
and water at 90 r. sWeetened
with milk sugar substituted &C.
casionalIy, the average infant
would be healthier and better
tempered.

Consumers voted for relief nearly
four years ago. Some voted for the

to furnish relief through the friends
of the tariff. That party's pledges are
