THEY NOTE WHAT The NEWSPA-
PERS SAY.

q saw If n the paper" is an express
sion almo common AMI as continu-
ed as the e. 4ange of greetings with
reference to the weather. 1t is hard
ly probable that the average person
realizes the extent to which they rely
upon newspaper information and news
paper comment as incidents in their
day by day experience. They may
not at all rely upon the newspaper for
their opinions, nor permit it to infu
ence their sympathes or disturb their
prejudices, but they want to see what
it says and to take note of what others
are saying through its pages. And
yet, now and then, even in this ad
vanced stage of civilization, one hears
a reader-very rarely merchant
specializing upon the probable value,
to those who have things to sell, of
newspaper advertising. That many
millions of dollars annually are devot-
ed to this manner of publicity year
after year must have impressed the
great majority of observers as being
sufficient evidence that it pays. Some
people there are who, while admitting
all this, are still constrained to ask
wherein the profit to the advertiser
consists.
One of the owners of the Royal
Baking Powder company elucidated
this point very neatly few days ago
and the significant fact is that he
was addressing meeting of the ad
vertising Representatives of monthly
magazines at the time. Said he:
am convinced that the newspa-
per offers to a general adver tiser of
an article of home consumption the
best medium and the one of greatest
known value. 1t affords the best
means to accomplish the most essen.
tial things in advertising, which is the
establishment of a permanent mental
impression in the minds of a large
number of individuals. The newspa-
per is the best and surest medium for
making this kind of impression, be-
cause it permits the most frequent
repetition of the merits or claims the
advertiser wishes to advance. Day
after day or week after week he can
bring his facts to the minds of

readers who are consumers. never
permitting them to forget. "
There is a profound depth of bus
mess philosophy in these few words,
as any heavy and persistent advertis-
er in newspapers can testify. The
pages, half-pages, quarter pages and
other spaces of advertising which the
most successful business men in the
country carry is the perennial &C
acknowledgement that they consider the
newspapers the best advertising me-
dunn in the world. And the grow ing
success of their business attests the
accuracy of their judgment in this as
in other matters.

| PENSIONERS SHOCKED AT
NEWS OF CHORlSTER

NENNS Vt SIISTNlOl
The parishioners of the Grace
Episcopal Church have had the mys-
terry of the refined young man, who
came to the church about three
months ago and represented himself
as a God-fearing Christian with ten
dency toward going to church and
singing in the choir, solved for them.
When he same here, Harrison B.
Wild, director of the choristers, was
so impressed with the young mans
appearance and voice that he placed
him in the choir
To those few who imagined they
were in his confidence he said his
name was Ernest A. Mitchell and
that he was from Winnipeg. But that
was all he would tell And they
didn't go much further with him.
His religious, almost spiritual man
ner, repealed them
But last night they were shocked
when they heard that their myster
ious young choir singer had been
held to the grand jury for forgery.
His new-found friends wouldn't be-
ieve it. But it is true, or rather,
Ernest himself says it is.
Another sideIght on Ernest was
given with the arrest of Rose A.
Schuch, who lives in the same house
with Mitchell at 1908 Indiana avenue,
and who first said she was his wife.

LOndCn. July 11.-Prof. Flinders Petrie,
the wur!d-famous EgyptolOGist. has made
the greatest haul OF his long career of
rese arch in Egypt and is now exhibiting
ii al the British School Of Archaeology IN
Cover street, London. The treasure
trove consists OF the golden crown of an
Egyptian princess. which was found at
the mouth of the FayOOm. sixty miles 10
the south of Cairo.
This priceless treasure has been con-
cealed in the tomb Of Sanurest II, for
centuries. The tomb. in the form of 4
pyramid. was built about 34OO B c. and
here it was that the Princess Sat-Hathor-
Ant was buried, with all her jewels
around her.
For fifty centuries past this tomb has
been raided again and again by Egyptolo-
gists. real and imaginary. 1t was only
rece ntly that the English schoOlmen, fol-
lowing a discovery of Guy Brunton, were
enabled to sift it from end to end, with
the success above recorded.
Among the other treasures on view at
University College. Cover street, are long
strings of amethyst beads, a wonderful
jew el taken from the breast of the num-
my. jars alabaster boxes and a number
of huge flare lamps The jewel is a fiat,
clean stone, in the center OF which are
lapis-lazuli, cornelIan and turquoise weld
ed into the gold so as to form a kings
signature.

London. July 11.-One of the questions
which has lately been exercising the
brains of medical authorities in London.
Paris, and New York is the treatment of
tired patients. II has only recently been
ascertaincd that this is due to the eating
muscle being out of order.
In order to bring back vitality to this
important organ the patient must lie on
a board with his feet about two feet
higher than his head.
1T is little short of comic" said a Har-
ley street doctor. ito see a long row of
patients in a nursing home with their
feet cooked up in the air lying at full
length alongside each other"
Its quite a mistake to suppose that
the most tired people are those who work
their limbs most" said the doctor
Those who abuse the eating muscle are
in reality the weary Willies II Is the
people over forty that are most prone to
the eating muscle trouble. They over
work the organ by eating rich meats at
banQuets and dinner parties. The eating
muscle is one of the most sensitive por-
tions Of the human organism"

Berlin. July n.-If an enterprising
American sculptor designed a memorial
to the German soldiers who have fallen
in colonial wars he may get an order.
The memorial must include an elephant
or 1t will not stand a chance Of being
accepted. The Kaiser says there must
be an elephant somewhere in the memo
rial, so there is no argument
German sculptors are up in arms at
what they secretly declareiis the Kaisers
intoIerable criticism OF their art and as
a mild protest the bulk Of them have re-
fused to take part in the competition.
Some months ago the colonial office
invited German scuIptors to send de-
signs for a colonial war memorial. to be
erected in German East Africa, the
Kaiser being the final judge The de-
sign which was considered best was
submitted TO the Emperor. who fatty
refused to sanction II. much to the an
noyanCe of the artist. Herr Behn.
Another competition has not been start
ed but the Kaiser has caused it 10 be
made known among the artists that IN
less the design includes an elephant ne
will not accept it.
Most of the artists who had decided to
take part in the competition believe. de-
spite the Emperors wish. the figure OF
an elephant is not fitting for a monument
dedicated to German soldiers who have
fallen in colonial wars.

London. July III. Hartley Manners.
dramatist and author of Peg o My
Heart" interrupted his summer holiday
in England and returned to New York be-
cause Of a cable from his theatrical pro-
duCer announcing that he intended to
do" Manners newest play. "WreCkage," q"
early this fall. "Wreckage," Manners
says. will probably be a commercial fail
ure. or at best only a moderate money
maker. and he fully expected to have to
produce it himself.
The play deals with the horrors Of the
druE-taking habit in America and is a
prcaChmcnt against its practice which, he
says, is constantly growing. not only in
New York. hut throughout the entire
country. The manuscript is not COM
pletcd.
Hardly half dozen Of his friends
knew that Manners broke his arm in
three places few days before sailing for
London. and still carries IL in a bandaEe.
The accident happened. curiOusly enough,
in a Fifth avenue tailor's shop. when
Manners slipped on a highly polished floor
and fell on his right shoulder. Deprived
Of the use of his right hand. Manners
was unable to complete the play on the
steamer as he had planned.
Among the recent arrivals in London
are Blanche and Frances Ring. who will
spend the summer here. The latter is the
wife OF Thomas M"iEhan. who. next to
Joe Coyne, is probably the best liked
American actor here. 1t is on the cards
that Frances will remain in London next
season TO play the lead in Too Many
Cooks" when Joe Coyne appears in
Frank Craven's role. Meighan having an
important role in the piece
