Bode also said that he and his
paper objected to the manner in
which the ordinance was being
damned through the council.
The Hearst man also told an in
teresting story about the Trib and
the American Medical Association.
1.-The Tribune wanted to get the
advertising of a certain corset COM
pany," he said, "This company al
ready was advertising in the News.
The Tribune tried to get it and failed.
Soon afterwards the American Medi-
cal Association wrote a letter to the
corset company advising them to
change their advertising from the
News to the Tribune because the lat
ter did not carry quack advertising"
OF course both the Trib and Off
Gals Of the American Medical Asso-
citation deny the story.
Bode stood alone in his plea against
an ordinance which will bar shady adj
vertising. President James M. Dun
lap of the Association spoke for the
ordinance and said law against fake
advertising was the only thing that
will restrain some publishers.
Persons who are bunkoed by
fraudulent raincoat and fur advertise

newspapers in Chicago that l didn't
place a line of advertising with this
season because they are filed with
fraudulent advertisements of fur
houses, clothing stores that offer
suits of clothes for 35 cents on the

advertise $40 raincoats for $4.95 and
