Secretary Bryan asserted that IL man

obey the second, Love thy neighbor as

mandments. he is not likely to violate
any Of the other eight commandments,
he asserted. But, Mr.. Bryan pointed out,
man IL apt to put other gods before God.
and these gods he classified In list OF
nine. as follows:
Love of money.
Love of society.
Love of power.
Love Of ease and comfort.
Love of learning for the mere sake OF
learning.
Love of travel for the mere sake of
travel
Love Of gambling.
Love of the passions.
Love Of drink.

Bryan. are the least harmful. The ninth

GOOD ADVERTISING.
n. w. Aver & Son Tell How Rest
1t Can BE Secured.


1t Can BE Secured.
The following excerpt from an article
by N w. Aver & Son in Printers Ink
contains ideas which are invaluable to
all business people:
There are a great many advertising
agencies which designate themselves as
general or national which apparently
take unto themselves this qualification
solely because they place advertisements
in publications of general or national
circula ton. From our point OF view, the
intelligent use of national publications Ii
difficult until the agency has had very
broad experience in the use of many
forms Of local advertising media, such as
newspapers. bill posting, etc, in every
part and section Of this big country Of
ours.
That an advertiser and his agent may
plan to derive the full advantage Of an
advertising expenditure, there must, in
the first place, be a broad basic knowl-
edge of the situation. Actual conditions
in each State should be known This in
formation should be matched up with the
status Of the advertisers business in
each State. This, in turn. should be con-
sidered in connection with an analysis
of the circulation OF national publica-
tons in each State. Only by this process
part in a sales campaign.
Some Of the most remarkable national
advertising successes have started as
local campaigns with a national effort In
view as work Of the future.
Too many thinly spread out poorly
supported, so-called national advertising
campaigns are started, and the annual
death rate is something terrific. Facts
and figures are easily available to every
one and need no comment from US.
This scheme of spending few thous-
and dollars in a national publication and
then proceeding to blum the trade in
the line of merchandise thus advertised,
is pretty well played out. Helpful, in
telligent cooperation with the trade
is desirable. Retailers should be re-
sponsive to the effort Of honest adver-
Users to place goods on their shelves,
but in too many cases consumer ad-
is used only as a club on the
retailer. and the appropriation IL not
of sufficient size, nor the advertising
effort sufficiently continuous to really
much with the ultimate
consumer.

in explanation" Of his lecture tours is
made by Secretary Of State Bryan in
signed article in the Ladies' Home

he lectures to make his income equal
to his expenses while holding public
office and that since he has been
premier of the Cabinet he has spent
on the lecture platform but one fourth
of the time allowed him by law for
vacation.
Secretary Bryan says: when I laid
the matter before the President he saw
no objection to using so much of my

than ten working days in lecturing in
