ILLUSTRATIONS OF
az WHAT ADVERTISING DOES

There is a tendency on the part of
some dealers and manufacturers to
make a boast of their opposition to
advertising says Maurice Switzer
writing in Leslie's magazine. The
stock argument in all such cases j.
that they put their money into goods
and not into the newspapers or post
ers. They pose as the sole survivors
of the altruist in business and darby
hint at the villainy behind the great
enterprise whose single motive is to
hoodwink the public.
There are no altruists in business:
if they are they don't stay there long.
When they have money enough they
get out of trade and found philan-
thropic institutions. and if they have
MT enough money they go broke.

Hertising has disposed of the surplus,

the basis emolutions of the former

that the specially salesman always
makes less money. As his line is
easier to sell. his total sales are large, I
so if his pay is based upon his yearly
business, his income may be much |
larger than the pay Of the salesman

this is true, it is but another and n
strong argument in favor Of the adj
vertised product. It proves that the

evidence that wherever the advertis-
ing had added to the cost of doing
business, a proportionate or greater

The United States census for 1910
shows that the, arc 212,OOO aIa,ts

are 100000 illiterate voters, or that

should vote he has to have told him

for these people; i, is also deplorable
for the State. Fortunately. a move

to a personal appeal by Mrs. Stewart
at the Teachers Institute. 1t is esti-

now in attendance upon moonlight

LABOR AS PROPERTY
New York Globe.

New York Globe
 The Clayton bill, as it passed the Senate contains the Cummins amend ment which declares that "the labor of human beings is not a. commodity or article of commerce."
 The notion that labor is commod- ity and properly amenable to all laws and regulations applying to other com modities is half-truth that has caus- ed much confusion of thought and done much positive harm. The fact that a man sells his time even as a farmer sells his wheat has been made the basis for assumptions far too sweeping. Because two things are alike in one respect does not prove them alike in all respects The dis semblances between labor and con- modities so outnumber their one re- semblance that it is amazing that leg islation such as the Sherman act and court decisions such as the Werner opinion in the Ives case have proceed ed from rational human beings
 Labor is thing apart, There is a flesh and blood quality that distin- guishes it from commodities. It is time to tear out of our laws every eX- pression of the brutish theory that when man makes a contract of serv- ice he sells property, and that this property is no more entitled to consid- eration than property in bricks This doctrine was born of the pit, and it is worth while to have Congress go on record against it. The action may assist in the social education of judges and others still under dominion of illusion.

CT systems, as every visitor to the great sewers of Paris and other mod ern cities we'll knows. Defective plumbing says The Journal of the American Medical Association has about as much relation to public health as any other mechanical defect Tn house construction.
 The most serious obstacle to the universal establishment in severed towns ot the water-carriage system is the high cost of the plumbing. In thls respect every unnecessary refine ment and elaboration in plumbing outfits and legal requirements is harm, not a help, to public health. The greatest possible simplicity and cheapness compatible with efficiency is what is needed in really sanitary" plumbing, not labyrinth of traps. vents and back-vents. If the plumb ing interests really wish to aid the hyglenlc welfare of the community they can best do this, not by insist ing on still more complicated devices and inspections, but by simplifying and cheapening the cost of installing and maintaining the pipes and fixtures essential for carrying off the house wastes in a speedy and inoffensive manner.

PLUMBING AND HEALTH

It is not surprising perhaps that old ideas concerning the causes of disease survive a long time after these ideas have been generally outgrown or dis credited. All the same it is little disconcerting to find that typhoid fe yer can still be complacently attribut- ed to bad plumbing. When We read that insufficient laws regulating plumbing and sanitation in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Colum- bia are largely responsible for the high typhoid rate and the prevalence of other diseases in the two states and the district" and again that much of the fever and other forms of disease with which the health au
 thorities are constantly wrestling Is caused by noxious gases and vapors emanating from neglected or defec- tive popes in the homes of the people ~ we are inclined to rub our eyes and ask ourselves if the education of the community is really proceeding at the pace we sometimes like to believe. The assertions quoted above, however, were reported as made at the Assocla- ton of Plumbers. Gasfttrs and Steam filters which recently met in Ra'- mond, Va, and not at a convention of health officers or physicians.
 It is hardly necessary to point out that typhoid fever-or any other fever lis not caused by bad smells, and that the small quantity of gases of decomposition found in weh-ventllat- ed sewers has never been proved to exert any injurious effect whatever on health. X connection between plumbing and health has been shown to exist at just one point. Plumbing is of value to public health only so far as it removes human excreta from the immediate neighborhood of dwell
 ings and so does away with the dan ger of fly borne typhoid and other in-
 lection which arises from allowing ln- fectious malarial to accumulate. Dis ease germs are not found in sewer ar; indeed it is difficult on physical
 grouds to see how they could get there. The ''noxious gases and vap-
 ors," so dear to the plumbers imagl- i, nation, are conspicious by their ab- sence in all perfectly constructed sew

TWENTIETH CENTURY POLICY.

The mother deer hides her fawn from wolves in a thicket. That was what woman did for ages. Now she is out in the open hunting the wolves. She started out for the saloon keeper and she has come home from millions of square miles of territory with his scalp at her belt. She prays, of course, but she keeps her powder dry and shoots at the monster to kill. Her success has established her ability to conduct an aggressive warfare against the evil of the world. And there nee6 be no doubt that this aggressive pol icy will continue until the world has become far safer for the young than it ever has been.-Grap pho, in the Con gregationalist
