RUSSIA BANIsHEs LIQUOR
 ON TRANS SIBERIAN RAILWAY. Before the War Vodka Was Sold at All
 Stations and on Dininq Cars.

Harbin, Manchuria, Dec. 1.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated PreSs.)-I Russia's banishment of liquor has driven vodka from the trains and sta sions of the Trans Siberian railway and in consequence has particularly put much of Manchuria into the prohibition ranks. Being the chief artery of bus mess. the Russian railway is the center of most activities in Central and North ern Manchuria. In many of the small CT places the railway station cafe and bar are the only social center. Before the war vodka was sold at all stations and in the dining cars. Now the pa irons of the railway refreshment stands must confine their drinking to non- alcoholic beverages.
 At the present the railway is used primamily as a route for war supplies and troops, and the successful enfoce- ment of the no-llquor regulation is Of such vital importance that Russian officials are very alert. Vodka is smuggled occasionally into railway property notwithstanding all precau- tions but railway employees, passeng- CTS and troops in transit across Man churit have little opportunity to ob- tain it. The military Is so completely in charge of the railway property that uquor smugglers soon come to grief Absolute sobriety on the part of rail- way employees is vital at this time when every moments delay tis serious to the Russian army.

SAGE TEA pARKENs
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay gray! Here's simple recipe that anybody can apply
 with a hair brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded. gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took ons that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect.
 But bfewing at home is mussy and out-or-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy," you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and Is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

 dence.
 While the government begged leave and was granted the opportunity to submit further evidence to prove its contention, Judge Hunt made it plain that it would have to be of the strong est character to upset his ruling which ordered all the Westchester testimony thus far given stricken from the rec ord. As indicated by R. L.. Batts, of federal counsel, in his opening ad- dress, the government purposed not only to show how the Westchester's 1S-mile charter cost the New Haven s11, 900, 900, but to delve into political matters connected with the amend ment of the charter for the alleged benefit of the New Haven. This, how ever, now remains a closed book. MT. Batts associated the name of Tam many Hall with some of the trans actions in which Westchester stock was acquired.
 End of Case in Sight.
 With this subject eliminated, the l euu OI InS case, now en- tering it's eighth week, came in sight. l The federal attorneys began the pres entation of evidence in the last but even more important phase of its case the alleged agreement in 1912 be- tween the New Haven and the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, whereby, it is charged, the Grand Trunk aban- doned the construction of a projected | line which would have connected its | subsidiary, the Central Vermont, with | Providence, R. I. This alleged agree ment constitutes the principal unlaw- | full act charged against the defendants as having been committed within the period covered by the statute of linn | itations and counsel consider that the whole case virtually hinges upon it's proof. i Negotiations for New London Northern
 Letters, which passed between MT. Mellen and the late c. M. Hays, vice president of the Grand Trunk, were read and from them it appeared that prior to the alleged agreement, nego- | tiations were on foot for the purchase | by the New Haven of the New Lon- | don Northern, a leased line of the Gen. traI Vermont. This correspondence | was exchanged during 1909 and ap- ! peared to show that the Grand Trunk was willing to give up the New Lon | don Northern which connected with 1 New York by a steamboat line, pro- I'vided that the New Haven would give the Grand Trunk the New York, On | tario and Western as a substitute con- nectisn into New York The Ontario and Western suggestion was aban- doned, however, because it was feared l that the New York state authorities would not consent to it. The negotia- tions for the New London Northern | went on, Mellen proposing that if the | Grand Trunk would sell the road, the

Il CAN'T AFFORD TO ADVERTISE"

1t not nfrequently happens that we talk with
manufacturer who unquestionably has opportu
nifty develop his business through national adver
tising. And oftentimes the manufacturer replies:
81 can't afford to do national advertising 1
haven't enough money to start right"
This man has the wrong perspective. He is
thinking only of the big advertisers the firms which
have "arrved He does not stop to realize that most
of the big advertisers once little advertisers.
Each case must be considered individually
1t is true that many firms would do better not
to advertise until they can large space. Others
would much better begin small, and build up.
For example, here is the story of a speciality
which had such unusual features, and so favorable
an opportunity, that small investment in adver-
tising brought almost immediate success and paved
the way for bigger things to come
The Ashby- Crawford Company of Marlborough,
Massachusetts,, started business three years ago. and
put on the market the Trot-Moc shoe. In construc-
ton this shoe was different any other shoe then
on the market Where other makers talked style
and appearance this firm talked fexibility comfort
and lightness OF weight.
It was a campaign of education not alone to the
public but to the shoe retailers
The manufacturer tells the story thus:
Our first advertising of TrotMocs was done in
the summer of 1913 in The Ladies' Home Journal
It scarcely reached the dignity of a campaign con-
ssting of six advertisements of 3R inches EACH
"As result of this modest expenditure we sold
direct by mall at retail prices, $4,000 worth of shoes
which we made both the retaand manufacturers
the general publicity and dealer help absolutely
free. And in that year the number of dealers selling
Trot-Mocs doubled

I'm 1914 we increased our space in The Ladies'

but also showing neat surplus.
I'VE also put about $25OO in The Saturday.

We happily surprised at the immediate and
steady results. Not only did receive about half
as many mail orders as from the Journal, but,
beginning April l. 1914, we added an average of
new, desirable retailers day until July l.
We opened during the about 1000
accounts To the $50 accounts opened from the date
of our first advertisement in the Post to July l.
sold goods to the value of $7O,0OO
"While business generally s1umped during the
fall Of 1914 our business showed increase of more
than 25 per cent. over the fall of 1913
Our selling costs average about per cent so
that it does not require expert mathematician
to ascertain that Saturday Evening Post
advertising well as Ladies' Home Journal
advertising paid for itself"

Most shoe manufacturers figure that it costs
them at least per cent to sell their goods.
This company during the first two years of it's
business has kept the cost down to per cent
We should be glad to confer with manufacturers
who think they cannot afford to advertise-with
the purpose of showing them how they may be able
to use advertising to cut down their selling cost
