Experiences Of Barre Citizens Are Easily

dent of Barre is true. Read il
and compare evidence from
Barre people with testimony OF
strangers living so far away you
cannot investigate the facts of
the case. Many more citizens OF
Barre endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Mrs. M. Duthie, SO South Main
street, Barre, says: 1--WE have
used Doan's Kidney Pills in our
family and from the benefit re-
ceived / am pleased to recon-
mend them. For years one of
the household has taken Doan's
Kidney Pills whenever she has
had pains across the small of her
back or in her side. They also
cured her of bladder trouble and
she has often remarked how ex-

NEWS AND ADVERTISING.-The
American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION is making fight against
free publicity, or free advertising, and
issues a series of periodical bulletins
calling attention to the firms and adj
vertising agents that are trying to
work the papers for free ads.
In Bulletin No. 1866, dated New
York, Oct. 2, 1 find the following
statement: Newspaper men having
the future of the business at heart
should give heed to some present ten
denotes that indicate that the view
point of the agent is undergoing a
change. Not long ago it seemed that
advertising would soon be generally
sold on the basis of merchandise and
that the cut rate would entirely dis
appear There seems to have been
some reaction. &c..
ct is said that Armour's new cam
paign will be confined to newspapers
that print Armour recipes in the news
columns. The Associated Film Sales
Corporations advertising, if it ever
does appear, it to be confined to
newspapers that accept inspired con-
tributions for t dramatic columns
The Mahin ADV. Co. sends copy for
three free advertisements with con-
tract for the advertising of the Pacific
Coast Condensed Milk Co. The Morse
International Agency asks an addi-
tional five per cent on Eno's advertis-
ing because of the high rate of ex-
change" 49,,
This illustrates the tendency of the
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-10-06


umns of the press and shows how adj
vertisers are trying to force the news
papers they patronize to help them
influence their readers.
For instance, Armour won't adver-
tise in a newspaper unless that news
paper prints in its news columns re-
cipes prepared by Armour, which I'M
doubtedly mean recipes that create
the impression that the recipe will
not work unless Armour products are
used.
The policy of the film sales corpor-
alton means that it wants to get its
feet into the news trough as well as
the advertising columns and have
something to say about the kind of
dramatic. news the paper gives its
readers.
In the same bulletin find the fol-
lowing: "The Advertising Associa-
ton of Chicago is to elect officers on
October II. One ticket known as the
blue ticket is in the field with print
ed pledge containing planks, and calls
attention to plank No. 4, which is as
follows: ITO secure for the Adver-
Using Association of Chicago full and
complete publicity in the Local and
National Press. To do this we
PLEDGE you the services of man
of known strength and National Elk
perienee without cost to this Associa-
ton"
There is a persistent effort all the
time by advertisers and their agents
to influence the news and editorial
policy of newspapers by giving ad-
vertising contracts to the newspapers
that obey orders and withholding it
from those that don't. Comparative
1y few newspapers are strong enough
to turn these demands down, and the
result is that many papers are forced
into partnership with their advertis-
ers to charm the dollars, dimes and
pennies out of the pockets of news
