HONESTY IN
ADVERTISING

Advertising is a Twentieth Century nee
essity Every legitimate business de-
mands its aid and the public has become
accustomed to look upon. advertisements
as proper guides to the obtainment of its
wants The frank. truthful statements of
advertisers are educational and indicate
the progressive character of business
men. who having something of merit to
disclose are not ashamed but proud TO
proclaim whatever of fact they wish to
make known, with the purpose of mutu-
ally benefiting themselves and those In
need of their wares. their knowledge ana
their skill. 1t is therefore proper and
right that aEy one engaged in legiti-
mate business, and having a proper re-
gard for his own welfare and the inter
ests of the public, should advertise what
he has to sell or what he has to offer in
skill or knowledge that those in need MAJ
be promptly served
But all advertising should be truthful,
frank and never misleading. For all de-
ception in advertisements Is dishonest and
dishonorable. whether 1t relates to mer-
chandise or professional pretense, hence,
whenever a deceptive and misleading
statement is made In an advertisement
1t is a safe conclusion that the adver-
tiser Is dishonest and unworthy of trust
We are lead TO make these statements
because of self-interest in protecting our
selves against the deceptive advertise
ments of a certain class of competitors,
who Disgusting truth, assert In their ad
vertisements that they will treat patients
without fee or charge, until patients are
cured Their favorte phrase being: Not
a dollar need be paid till cured To the
unsophsticated such catch phrases are
very catchy. But in fact there is no sim
cerity or truth in such >tatements, and
they are published solely with intent to
deceive The truth of this assertion may
be verified by anyone who has ever made
personal application to such advertisers
for professional services on such terms.
In every instance, such Investigators
have learned that before receiving such
doctors services that deposit of money
must be made, an indorsed note given. or
an unfair written contract must be
signed The main object Of such mis-

TO TAKE UP CHARGES
AGAINST THORPE

New York, January 26.-The National
Registration committee of the ANA
teur Athletic union will take up on
Tuesday the charges affecting the
standing of James Thorpe, the Carlisle
Indian, according to James E. Sullivan,
secretary of the A. A. u, tonight.
Thorpe and Glenn Warner, athletic
coach at the Carlisle Indian school, 1t
Is understood, will be given hear
ing The real work of probing the
matter rests with the middle Atlantic
association of the A. A. u, as Car
Isle, Pa, is in that body's territory and
Thorpe is directly under its jurisdic-
tion. The Middle Atlantic association
is said already TO have taken up the
case and will present whatever facts
1t has at the meeting Tuesday.
Should Thorpe ultimately be found
guilty of professionalism and of hav-
ing received money to play baseball,
America will have to return to Sweden
the trophies the Indian won at the
Olympic games. While the deduction
of his points would affect America S
total to some extcnt, it would not
change the result.

pie being placed in the city jail. Be-
sides these cases there were many

picking to disorderly conduct and i'm
personating an officer. From 80
o'clock Saturday night until o'clock
Sunday morning there was a constant
stream of prisoners entering the city

that it was one Of the busiest nights
they had ever experienced, in point
of the number of people arrested.
Many negro cutting scrapes were re-
