BAR THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS
Liquor Dealers Won't Patronize Pro-
fessionai Men Who Drink-Want
ciear-Headed individuals.

Some of the best arguments against
the liquor traffic come directly from
those engaged in the business. II
their minds could be read, it would
be discovered that they rate their bust
ness none too highly, and would be
glad to be out of it we're there no
financial reasons in its favor. A Chi
cago dentist, an ardent temperance
worker, has among his customers the
wife of a saloonkeeper. In reply to
his query as to why she continued to
patronize him, inasmuch as he gave
no custom to her husband, she said:
'f you had patronized our saloon, you
would not have seen me in your office
again. My husband and | long ago
made up our minds never to employ
q doctor, lawyer, or dentist who used
our goods. When 1t comes to that kind
of service, we went clear-headed In
dividuals."

DEFEAT CAUSED BY DRINKING
One Great Battle in American War for
Union Caused by officer Con-
fused by Liquor.

General o. o. Howard gives the fol-
lowing among other instances of de-
feat through drink in the American
war for the Union: I'm one OF our
great battles we suffered defeat, and
many Of us have believed that the
mistake which caused the defeat was
due to an excess of whisky drunk by
the offlcer in command. / had the tes-
timony from an officer who Was with
him that pitchers of liquor were
brought to his table, and that he and
those around him drank as freely
from them as If they contained only
water. The orders the commander
gave were the direct opposite from
those he would have given had he not
been suddenly confused by drink. A
heavy loss OF men and material, and
a dreadful defeat for our cause. was
the result"

WHEN ADVERTISING PAYS
Importance of Timeilness and Proper
Display of Goods-success of Small
Town Kansas Merchant.

No matter what one advertises the
display must be of the right sort to
bring the best results.
John Graham Brooks, a Chicago uni
versity Lecturer, is so impressed with
the value of advertising that he adj
vises such pupils as contemplate en-
tering business to learn how to write
advertisements He lays great stress
upon "up-to-tbe-minute" advertising
accompanying the proper display of
goods.
At yarn spanning session the other
day the story vas told of bachelor
who entered a naberdashery one cold
winter day and bought necktie.
When he opened the package in his
room he found photograph of good
looking, middle aged woman, with this
note appended, If you are single,
write me"
That set the bachelor to thinking
how lonely he was and before the
evening was over he had written to
the lady whose name and address &C
co1npanied the note.
After two weeks OF anxious waiting.
the bachelor received reply to his
letter. 1t read:
"Sir-The Mary Smith to whom you
wrote was my grandmother. She died
nine years ago, aged eighty-six.
The bachelor had purchased his
necktie from a merchant who didn't
advertise.
Out in Sedan, Kan, town of 1900
population, there is merchant by
the name Of I. H. Edwards.
This man went to Sedan a few
years ago with but little capital. To-
day he owns a fine business. lives in
beautiful home and thinkers with a
big farm. MY success is due to adj
vertising,' he writes.
Edwards spends $4,000 every year
with the local newspapers. then he
backs up his advertising with attract
tive goods at the right prices.

a woman can make good fully as well
as a man if she wants to do so hard
enough.
Is the work in the Office harder?
No. Because it is regular work, has
same hours. and in the end is not
nearly so wearing. Is 1t as interest
ing as the work of the stage? To me
it is much more so. 1t is real, it is a
part OF the big, busy, useful world.
And lastly, my life now has thrown
me into contact with men who. when
they begin to court woman, have in

This was only half of what I had

1t is a great thing for the voter to
make his protest against the liquor
traffic In prayer-meeting or by his
manner of life, but If he would really
tell the government, az well as the

the saloon closed, there is but one
method by which he can be recog-

HOW He SOLD THE sHovELs
Merchant Saw and crasped the oppor-
tunity to Dispose Of Over
stock Of ShoveIs.

In small Indiana town merchant
once purchased an overstock of shov-
els. They had been gracing hooks In
the rear of his store for some time
and gathering rust. He was anxious
to get rid of them, even If he had to
sell them at loss.
A road contractor had his squad out
In full force repairing particular bad
strip of road about two miles from
town. The dealer who was driving
his delivery wagon through this
stretch stopped to speak few words
to the contractor who was quite a
friend of his.
He noticed that the shovels which
the men were using were of small
capacity and mentioned the fact to
the contractor. 'Jim," he said, you
are not making the dirt fly as it
should. Look at that fellow over
there, why he can only lift a spoon
full at a time with that little shovel
of his. OF course know there is a
bonus put on this job IL you get it
finished before the cold weather sets
in. You're never going to do it that
way Now, / got a bunch of real
shovels up at the store | want you to
take and Use. | am not asking you
to purchase them, mind you, but
just want to prove that your work
men will like them better than the
ones that they are using now and con-
sequently will do better work with
them
"Ill bring you out a dozen and a
half tomorrow, and am going to ask
you as special favor to try them out.
If they are all right, buy them, you'll
be needing some new ones pretty
quick anyhow. If they don't satisfy
send them back"
The contractor tried the shovels out
and found them satisfactory. He not
only bought the old stock of shovels
but made it necessary for the dealer
to order more. OF course he sacri-
feed something on the price of the
first ones, but he has gotten good
many orders from the contractor
since.
A little bit of ingenuity will often
dispose of a stock that seems hopeless
as far as sales of it are concerned.

TWO VICTORIES ARE NOTABLE
Temperance People Highly EIated
Over Events Recently Enacted
at Nations Capital.

The two great principles of total
abstinence and, prohibition have lately
received wonderful impetus-the first
in the attitude of the administration
at Washington, the second in the pas
sage by the last congress of the bill
regulating interstate shipment of
liquor.
When few days after March 4 the
morning papers reported that this was
to be a white ribbon administration"
there was great rejoicing among the
temperance forces, and from National
W. C.. IT. u. headquarters the follow
ing message was promptly sent over
the wires:
Mrs Woodrow Wilson, the White
House, Washington, d. Give are in
expressibly glad for the noble decision
made by the Wilson administration in
regard to the non-use of wines and
liquors. The benefcent example, safe
for all to follow, will bless numberless
lives and brighten countless homes. A

mon with other millions interested in

The temperance principles of Secre-
tary and Mrs. Bryan are well known,
and it is said that most of the cabinet
members are total abstainers. Mrs.

serves nothing stronger than fruit
