As to Looking Gift Horses in the
 Mouth"

The old saying. Don't look gift horse in the mouth" used to apply to the advertising a manufacturer did for the ben eft of the retailer who handled his product.
 The mere fact that the man ufacturer was spending his money on advertising was SUD- posed to satisfy the retailer, who was told not to question the quality of the gift horse the advertising being the gift horse.''
 Times have changed. Retail houses understand the value of advertising that creates direct demand--of local newspa per ad- vertising
 If the manufa cturef wants to snend money in advertising for your benefit, MT. Retailer, why not insist that 1t shall be spent where it will do both you and him the most good?

New Ticket Regulation on B. &
N. and New Haven.
ORDER MEETS WITH PROTEST
Three Months and Two Months
Tickets are Abolished, and
Tickets for One Month
Substituted.

Boston, Mass.-Protests are being
made by commuters on the New Ha-
ven and Boston a. Maine railroads
against a ruling of the Railroad Com
mission which abolishes three
months and two months tickets ana
substitutes for them a ticket for one
month.
The people who have heretofore
been buying tickets for three months
are the main objectors, as they will
lose the reduction that they derived
heretofore when buying a three
months ticket.
The poor people who have been I'M
able TO buy three months tickets will
benefit by the change. it is argued, as
they will be able hereafter To buy
tickets good for a month at re-
duced rate.
The new schedule goes into effect
on the first of the year. The Rail
road Commissioners say that the
change was made because the rich
commuter, who was able to purchase
a three months ticket, had an unjust
advantage over the poor man who
made use Of the road daily, but was
compelled to pay a higher rate OF
fare because OF his inability to take
advantage of the season ticket.
