The advertising columns of this
newspaper are prosperity index.
They reflect the spirit of aggressive
merchandising, fighting for business.
They voice the doctrine Of free, fair,
open competition.
The advertiser Is a good man to deal
with. His prosperity depends on his
keeping his printed promises.
He must deal as he breaches. He
must keep faith with the public.
1t Is safer to deal with an advertiser
than a merchant or manufacturer who
does business in the dark.
No time to prove this better than the
busy Christmas season.

ADVISOR
OF JAPAN

Toxic, July 3.--Henry Willard Deni-
son, legal advisor of the Japanese de-
partment affairs, since 1880. died at
st. Luke's American hospital. Deni-
son was stricken with paralysis a
week ago. The announcement of
Denison's death was withheld for sew
eral hours. in accordance with Japan
ese custom, and in order to permit the
emperor to confer the decoration os
Grand Gordon of order of Paulownia
on the dead man.
A euligistic statement regarding the
services of Denison was later issued
by the Japanese foreign office. In it
Denisor was hailed as one Of the
greatest benefactors nt Japan.
Denison was born at Guildhall,
Vermont, 1S46. He studied law at
Columbia (now George Washington)
university. His first connection with
Japan was American vice consul at
Yokohoma. Later he was appointed
by the Japanese government as legal
advisor to the ministry of foreign af-
fairs and his advice was asked by the
Japanese government in connection
with every phase Of it's diplomatic re-
lations with foreign countries for Il
period of nearly thirty-fve years.
