KNOWLEDGE
Is a Better Guide Than
Instinct When Buying q:
BY HOLLAND.

w NOWLEDGE is more
m widespread today than
ever before. Twenty-Five
years ago much buying was
done by instinct-done in a
haphazard way that is a
thing Of the past like the
spinning wheel and the tai
low candle.
Your grandmother trusted
largely to luck-you depend
on knowledge when it comes
to spending money. What
causes the difference? Ad-
vertising.
Publicity has reyolutionized
business. 1t has increased
business honesty, has advanc-
ed business ethics and has
ended slipshod methods.
To gain the advantage of
these changed conditions you
must have knowledge. You
must know values. You can
learn them only by studying
advertising. In no other way
can you learn what is best
and what the best is worth.
CARELESS BUYING
OFTEN MEANS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Equip yourself with the
knowledge necessary for eco
nomical buying. If you have
money to spend you owe this
to yourself and to those for
whom you buy.

The liquor problem in Denmark is
live wire, getting hotter almost
every day, now that it has been car
ried into national politics. /. c.
Christensen, leader of the Liberal par
ty, has started an agitation for state
wide prohibition in Denmark. Not
long ago the Liberal party successfully
fathered bill which enforces i'm
portant restrictions on the sale OF
liquor in bars, restaurants and sim
liar places, and the Liberal leader
evidently intends to follow this up
with law enforcing total prohibi-
ton of the sale of intoxicants in Den
mark. In explaining why the Liber-
al party, which stands for a large
measure of personal liberty, should
be backing such bill, Mr.. Christen-
sen says alcohol is a poison and that
the state should forbid and regulate
its use just as it does in the case of
other recognized poisons. Until the
late temperance legislation went into
effect Denmark had depended upon
educatio. to fight the evils of inten-
perance. 1t is believed that the peo-
PIE will acquiesce in the proposed leg

must be limited for the benefit of the
