OLD-TIME GIANT
OF ADVERTISERS

A good many people here, as in the
rest of the country, rubbed their eyes
yesterday and harked back a score of
years when they read the newspapers,
for yesterday, for the first time in
many years, the one-time familiar le-
gent, "St. Jacobs Oil Conquers Pain"
stared them in the face as it did long
ago. .- . -. t.' -. "a. ....
Time was when the center of the
advertising stage was occupied by the
st. Jacobs Oil people. That was be-
fore advertising was developed to it's
present extent and the projectors Of
what grew to be the best known fam
lily liniment in the world had the
field of really big and liberal publicity
to themselves.
"St. Jacobs Oil rubs away Rheu-
matte Pain, Backache, Neuralgia,
Sprain, ETC." greeted one everywhere
the eye rested, and in a few years
the publicity, backed by the intrinsic
worth of the preparation, brought a,
business Of abou two million dollars
a year that has survived ever since,
years after the advertising campaign
had been completed.
The proprietors, it seems. have de-
cided to place their product before
the present generation as they did
before the last, and, in ~rsuan of
this policy, Flashed" on the public
again the old familiar announcements
Of q score of years ago.

TO BEHNER
Large Congregation Heard Farewell
Sermon of Rev. Mr.. Behner at the
presbyterian Church.

An unusually large congregation
heard the farewell; sermon Of Rev. Mr..
Behner at the Presbyterian church
last night. He chose as his topic, The
Interruptions of Providence, and
brought out the thought that all events
in this life are in some way for the
best, though sometimes it is hard to
see 1t in that way at the time. He
mentioned many of the events of his
own life as illustrative Of the general
principle that all things work together
for good. He believed, he said, that
his going would benefit the local
church, himself, and also the church
to which he is going, for it will open
up new visions, allow a .readjustment,
and afford a new viewpoint on life.
Rev. Mr.. Behner made a strong plea
for loyalty to his parishioners, urging
them to stand shoulder to shoulder,
and to go forward with the work of
the church unitedly, confronting it's
problems as a body.
The formal farewell to Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. Behner will take place this evening
in the church parlors, when a recep-
ton will be accorded them by the
members of the church and their
friends. The reception will be held
from s to 10 o'clock. Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. Behner will leave tonight for
their new home in st. Louis.
