The advertiser charges the sum total
of his expense against the sum total
of his returns. and thereby does him.

by crediting the less productive sheets
with results that they have not

There are newspapers in many a
town that are, single handed, able to
build up business. Their circulation is
solid muscle and sinew-aII pull. 1t

the number Of copies that reach the
hands Of buyers-it isn't the number
Of readers but the number of readers
with money to spend-it isn't the bulk
of circulation but the amount of the
circulation which is available to the
advertiser-it isn't fat but Drawn

There are certain earmarks that in
dictate these strengths and weaknesses.
They are as plain to the observing
eye as the signs Of the woods are
significant to the trapper. The news
columns tell you what you can expect
out Of the advertising columns. A
newspaper always finds the class OF
readers to which 1t is edited. When

readers match the medium.
No gun can hit a target outside of
its range. No newspaper can aim it's
policy in one direction and score in
another. No advertiser can find a diff

the publisher has found for himself.
He is judged by the company he keeps.

PIMPLES ON HEAD lTCHED

Tell City, Ind.-"My baby's head
was covered with sores and the top
was a solid scab. 1t began with pim-
pies and he would scratch his head
until it would bleed and then scab
over and keep spreading. He would
claw his head and fret, 1t itched and
burned so and / was afraid he would
never have any hair on top Of his head
again.

Soap and Ointment to me. l asked
our family doctor and he said, Yes,
go right ahead and use them We got
one cake of Cuticura Soap and one
box of Cuticura Ointment and they
healed him from the first. In a few

or bother him in the least and before
we had used one set he was healed

1t is necessary that they be kept

The Horse That Drew the Load.

A moving van came rolling down the
street the other day with big-spirited
Percheron in the center and two
wretched nags on either side The
Percheron was doing all the work,
and 1t seemed that he would have got
along far better In single harness than
he managed with his inferior mates

The advertiser who selects a group
of newspapers usually harnesses two
lame propositions to every pulling

It became plain that I must change.

Another matter that should have at

apples for facing purposes. Whatever

TOO MANY POOR BOOKS HURT U. s.
Butler Says SIoven|y Reading
 Matter Floods Country
IN THE WAY OF EDUCATION.

Annual Report of President of coIum-
 bia University Laments Fact That Nation Is Flooded With Poor Read
 ing Matter-Asserts That Fewer and
 Better Books Are Sadly Needed.
 4New York--"Too much slovenly reading matter stands in the way of education and enlightenment" says Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler fin his yearly report as president of Colum- bia university.
 "In no field of human interest" says Dr. Butler, speaking of the harm of worthless books, "is the substitution of quantity for quality more fraught with damage and disorder than ill that of reading. The builders of the con- stitution and the great lawyers of the colonial period knew but few books, but the books they knew were first rate books, and they knew them well.
 "Such a task as that which GibbOn set himself over century ago would be impossible today, even for a syndi- cate of Gibbons. There are too many books now to enable another history of the decline and fall of the Roman e1n- pire to be composed.
 Productivity of the highest type is checked by the excess of facilities. This is true both of books and of phys ical apparatus. We could get along well with far fewer books and far less apparatus, and we should be likely to get more ideas and higher type of human being.

 One striking feature brought out by the report is what President Butler calls "the literally stupendous. change in the relations between the university and the public which has been brought about since the reorganization of 1890 and the prosecution of the policies of expansion and new activity then for mulated."
 This change is amply demonstrated by the fact that the gifts received by Columbia from 1754 to 1890, a period of 13G years, did not exceed in value $2OO,OOO. During the administration of President Low (1s9O-1 19OD the sum of $5, AGO, 900 was received by the insti- tutions that make up Columbia univer- sity, and during the administration of President Butler $2O,30O,OO0 has been added by gift from several hundred different persons.
