The Value of
War Bulletins.

Considerable feeling seems - hav'
been engendered, not only in Pensa
cola. but elsewhere, In connection will
the publication OF war bulletins. TIL,
German is naturally suspicious O.
news that tends to the belief that Ger.
man forces have met defeat, and thi.
liz true Of citizens or former citizeni
of all nations engaged in the Euro.
pean struggle.
AS nearly as may be, war bulletins
are based upon official information
but In the present instance, owing tc
the strict censorship and to the reti-
cence of all European officials, little
that may be considered authoritative
is coming over the cables. The news
that reaches this country comes. in
great part. from correspondents in
England, and the demand for every
little fragment Of news Is SO great
that almost every rumor finds it's way
into the columns Of the press of this
country.
While some Of the bulletins are un-
doubtedly based upon authoritative
information. there Is no question about
the greater portion OF the news being
based upon fragmentary r,lmors. Ger
tain 1t is that little important news
will be forthcoming, from direct
sources, until the conclusion of some
importance engagement either on land
or sea.
Associated Press war bulletins fur
nished by The Journal may be de-
pended upon to give all the news that
II Is possible to obtain. and these bull
letins give the source OF such news
and state whether they are based upon
fact or upon rumor. Any definite
statement made in Associated Press
bulletins regarding engagements, if
made unqualifiedly. may be depended
upon.
1t is reasonable TO presume that
news unfavorable to France would
hardly come from France, unless Of
ficiany given out; news detrimental
to Germany would hardly leak past
the vigihnt eyes of the censors unless
made public by those in authority. The
sole source of European war news to-
day is the ca BILE to England, and it is
equally unreasonable to presume that
transmission OF information that might
be detrimental to English interests.
News of the first great battle either
on lsnd or sea- will probably reach the
United States via England. and il will
probably bear the earmarks of author
lily. Pending news of decisive en-
gagement. many OF the war bulletins
ehould be taken cum grano sails

OF the blow which Divine Providence

Day after day the president was In
his office, from time to time Fo4ng to
the bedside Of his dying wife to cheer
and comfort her. Night after night
he remained by her bedside. And
never q word was said until the Grim
Reaper was near at hand. His per-
sonal sorrow was sacred; It was his
alone. In the double crisis OF personal
and world affairs his duty to his coun-
try was fatthfully done; his duty as
a husband and father was IN no wise

LIAR The WORST
OF An Competition Advertise.
Has to Contend with.
So Says Richard Waldo, Adver.
Using Expert

The noted pure advertising advo-
cate, Richard Waldo. advertising man
ager Of Good Housekeeping" told q
Topeka business men at the CONNER
cial club today that the unfair compe-
tition Of the har II the worst compe-
tftion with which advertisers have to
contend. The easiest way to get good
advertising. he said. In to throw out
the bad advertising. and the speaker
told of how the ADVERTISING value Of his
ing All Advertisements and reject
ing those that failed to convey the
truth.
"A blue sky law may be put through
unless by q general movement it be-
comes unnecessary 10 have a law re-
latinx to advertising. 1t il q wonderful
opportunity for you in Kansas to rank
this state as what Massachusetts, used
to be, the foremost state in point of
service"
speaker said: There II q wonderful
movement on foot to make advertising
pay better. Advertising is the most
efficient Of any tool in the business
mems hands.
Were it possible to get copy in a
cheney would be doubled. The provid-
ing OF clean copy early il the prime ne
cessfty Of today. Every national publ
cation has a closing date well in adj
vance of its going to press. The time
will come when the publisher OF ev-
cry daily newspaper will set ~ hours in
advance as the time limit for receiving
advertising.
Mr.. Waldo then told Of how in .
period Of three years the advertising
value Of the magazine which he rep
resents had been materially increased
through strengthening the faith OF
the readers in the advertising matter.
Through investigation it was ascer-
tanned that but one person out of five
was paying any attention to the ad-
vertising; IS per cent were willing to
state that they did not look at the
advertisements. Mr.. Waldo said: ITO
me the most important task was to
ments rather than to get a larger
possible In three years to more than
double the per cent Of readers who
would observe the advertising. We
found that the reason that people fail
ed to respond to the advertising was
because so many people had had their
confidence abused"
Mr. Waldo told how = single 5000
advertisement Of an ice cream freezer
had cost his firm $500. The freezer
would freeze cream once and then it
would fail to be Of service. But the
extra expense paid. he said. Now the
advertisers are glad to pay higher
rates.
The speaker was introduced by
Frank p. MacLennan. Frank Hoops.
advertising manager for the Daily
Okfahoman, was also 4 guest OF the
Commercial club.

The Reason Fewer People Take
''SaltS."

We find the use of salts and other
harsh physics is becoming less every
year because more and more people
are using Rexall Orderlies, which
we and they firmly believe to be the
best bowel remedy ever made. They
taste so much like candy that even
children like them. At the same time
they act so easily and naturally that
there is no purging, gripping or pain.
We have the utmost faith in them.
We know what they are made of and
the pleasant, beneficial results that
always follow their use.
You needn't take our word for it.
If Rexall Orderlies don't help you-if
they don't entirely relieve all your
bowel troublesome back and tell
us and we'll give back your money.
