A WORD TO
THE SToREKEEPER."

The manufacturer who tries 10
he'p you sell his goods after he
has induced you to stock up on
his line deserves your hearty CO.
operation.
But it is up to you to dccid.
whether the manufacturer is ac.
tually helping you, or whether
he only thinks he is.
" he is creating a desire for
his product without creating an
actual demand on your store for
It, his help is Of little value to
yoa,
The one big advantage of
newspaper advertising is that it
creates net only desire. but &C.
tual demand. Most other medi.
ums stop at desire.
The best kind Of advertising
that a manufacturer can do Tor
your benefit is local newspaper
advertising. Tetf his statesmen
so next time they come around.
Show them that you know by
experience the value Of news.
paper advertising, and that you
want all the branded goods you
handled advertised in a way that
viii bring customers to your
store to ask for them.

GALLERY THE LATEST
FOR CHIEFS JOB

Lieut.. M1cnaeI j. gallery OF the
Desplaines street station is the new
est entry in the race for chief of
police. His chances have been con-
siderably strengthened by the pro-
test of union labor against the pos
sible appointment of Capt. Patrick j.
LAWN. >
Trades unionists have suddenly
awakened to the necessity of getting
man fair to union labor in the Office
of chief of police. They feel that
LAWN, central figure in the stock,
yards and newspaper strike, would be
decidedly unfair =
And so several of the leaders are
lining up in the fight against LAWN.
And in fighting him they will fight
in behalf of a man whom they con-
slider his veritable opposite, Lieut..
Gallery.
Lieut.. Gallery's fight for the work.
ing man is well known to all union
men in Chicago. More recently he
was given considerable praise for his
fight against the crooked labor
agents of the district around Madi-
son and Canal streets.
Gallery is believed to have good
chance as the mayor hasn't positively
indicated that the new chief will be
from the captains list.
Outside of Gallery's entrance into |
consideration there is nothing new
in the situation.

TO State Restrictions.

Washington. Feb. "a favorable re-
port on bill for general regulation OF
tho use OF the water Of Niagara River for
mower purposes was agreed upon late to-
dsv by the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. The measure would provide that
the Secretary Of War issue permits for
the diversion Of water on the American
side upon condition that the company re-
ceiving il shall comply with any and all
regulations as to rates and service OF tho
state IN which power is generated or
transmitted.
No change would be made in the exist
nr law limiting the amount Of water TO
be diverted on the American side to 1880
cubic feet q second.
The Secretary would he authorized to
issue permits for the diversion OF water
below as well as above the Falls, and for
the transmission OF power from the Cana
dian side. and would be directed In Is
suing permits for plants above the Fails
to have due regard for those investments
which already have been made"
Under the proposed law all persons on
companies now holding permits for the d.
version of water would be required to re-
construct their plants within tye years
after notice from the Secretary Of War.
The Secretary also would be authorized 10
revoke any permits after five years no.
tice IL he should determine that the d-
versions OF water interfered with the
navigable capacity Of the river it, vol
ume as a boundary stream. its efficiency
as a means OF national defence or the
scenic grandeur Of Niagara Falls. or that
the water diverted was not being used
10 its proper standard OF efficiency.
