QUALITY AND LOW PRICES
Advertising viii Reach People Inter
ested In Both, but Merchant
Must Be Truthful.

A wise advertising man once said:
The sole object of advertising for a
retailer ought to be to bring people
into his store, If the advertising does
that, it's good advertising; If it doesn't
do that, it isn't.
Advertising which brings people to
your doors has done all you could ex-
pect 1t to do; If you don't sell them
goods when you've got them there;
it's the fault of the goods or the
salesmanship. don't blame the adver-
tising.
There are many different ways Of
getting people into a store. 1t de-
pends on the kind of people they are,
on the kind Of store 1t Is, the sort
of merchandise it offers and It's serv-
Ice. But in a general way, your
advertising II 1t is to get them to
come to your store, has to present the
facts about the store and the goods
which will interest them enough to
bring them to you.
Trade that is drawn by low prices
Is almost never steady, permanent
trade, it goes where prices are lowest
or where they seem to be lowest. The
constant effort to reduce prices forces
q merchant on q lower plane OF quail
ity. presently his standards are 10
duced to q point where his merchan-
disc In inferior, his customers pay
little for the goods, but they get little
for their money.
Another merchant nay feel that
people whose trade he wants are
more interested In quality; they a1e
whiting to pay . atf pesce 4 thag
can have the assuranee Of getting the
vatue Of their money. 1Ais suit oe

Desirable and the most likely Do b

Decorations For Bravery.

The Iron Cross, which is frequently
mentioned in dispatches from Berlin, had
its origin during the war with Napoleon
is 1913. At the suggestion of General
Gneisenau, King Friedrich Wilhelm OF
Prussia had these medals made TO be
given to his soldiers who had distinguished
themselves for bravery. II is Maltese
cross of cast iron edged with silver. The
crosses of lSl3-l5 bear the initials, "F
W." a crown, and the date, 1913. Med
ais struck in 1870, during the Franco
Pnsslan War, have the single letter,
"W," for Wilhelm |, who became the
first German emperor. The award Of the
cross TO the rank and file carries with il
an allowance OF three marks and six pfen-
nigs about seventy-five cents monthly.
For conspicuous bravery in the pres
ence OF the enemy" Great Britain deco
rates her soldiers with the well-known
Victoria Cross. The medal is a bronze
Maltese cross, surmounted by lion, and
bears the inscription, "For Valour," in a
scroll. When the cross is given TO a
private or noncommssioned officer,
pension OF ten pounds goes with the
award.
The Legion of Honor is the only order
of merit that exists in France. Napoleon
authorized the decoration in 1902, when
he was the first consul of the republic.
The cross may be won by civilians for
distinguished service in times Of peace as
we'll as by soldiers on the battlefield. IT
consists OF a star OF five double rays,
which has an effigy OF the republic and
two tricolor standards, with the device,
"Honneur ct Patrie."
Empress Catherine | instituted the
Russian Order OF ST. George in l76S for
her officers OF the army and navy. The
order now has four classes for commits
stoned officers and fifth grade for COM
mon soldiers. The cross is presented for
taking fortress or vessel, for conspicu-
Gus presence OF mind, and for counsel
that may lead TO victory. II is a gold
edged, white enamel Maltese cross, and
it bears red plaque of ST. George and
the dragon.
The Austrian Order of Maria Theresa is
a purely military one, and was founded
by the famous empress OF Austria in 1857
for officers who had distinguished them
selves in war. II is an enameled white
cross edged with gold. Inscribed in the
centre, round the arms OF Austria, is the
word, "Forttudini. Other decorations
are the Japanese Order of the Golden
Kite, the Serbian Royal Order OF the
White Eagle, and Belgium's elaborate
Order OF Leopold.
The Medal OF Honor, which Congress
awards for unusual bravery, is five
pointed star that bears medallion Of
Minerva, the inscription, "United States
OF America" and laurel wreath sur
mounted by the single word, "Valor."
The order dates from the Civil War. II
is given sparingIy, and is one OF the most
highly priced of military decorations.

The Story OF Sugar.

Sugar cane was first introduced into
Sicily by the Arabs in 703, whence il was
taken 10 Africa, TO Spain. and all along the
coast TO the Mei;.r-"nean sea, as we'll as
TO the islands and borders OF the Indian
ocean. The crusaders found extensive
sugar cane plantations in Tripoli, Meso-
potamia, Syria, Antioch and Cyprus, and
by the fourteenth century the cane was
being cultivated in every part OF The
known world where soiland climate were
propitious.
II came to South America by being in
troduced into Brazil by the Portuguese,
who brought il from Madeira, and thence
il spread 10 nearly all the other countries
of that continent. Columbus is said to
have brought it TO the island OF Santo
Domingo, whence il spread TO Mexico
and Cuba. II was introduced into the
other islands OF The West Indies as soon
as they came under European domina-
tion. The first sugar cane came TO Louis
lana by being sent TO the Jesuits from
Santo Domingo, in l75l, some English
authorities giving the date as 1877.
Science has never determined where
The sugar cane originated, and nowhere
has il been found in its wild state. II has
been under cultivation for many centuries.
In the sacred books OF the Hindoos, writ
Ten long before the Christian era, there
in this reference al have crowned thee
with shooting sugar cane, so that thou
shalt not be averse TO me-" In the train
of Alexander the Great, duringihis Asiatic
conquests, were some individuals who
desisted from the slaughter OF barbarians
long enough 10 record "a reed growing
in India which produces honey without
bees" Thus sugar was evidently raised
in that country as early as 320 b. {.

Oriental Mendacity.

II orieutaIs have one tault more than
another il is disregard for truth. In the
early days Of the English occupation Of
India, the English judges were astounded
at the conflicting stories told by witnesses,
and they soon learned TO set them all
down as unworthy of credence.
In American courts it is also well known
that the Chinese are very penurious oi
the truth, and that no oath will prevent
them from giving false witness. In Egypt
it is also very easYto getnatiye witnesses
TO swear TO anything, true or untrue
For instance: Ahmed, a native Of Cairo,
had slave who peeped over a wall into
Suleiman's harem, and the ladies' con-
sidered themselves insulted. Suleiman
wanted revenge, but he could not bring
his wives into court to testify, so il was
agreed that Suleiman should accuse
Ahmed's camel Of walking on Suleiman's
land. Acrowd Of witnesses cameforward
and for two days testified about the camel
and the land, until the English Judge de-
cided in favor of Suleiman.
Ii was not until week aiierward that
the Judge discovered TO his great surprise
that Sulieman had no ground and Ahmed
had no camel.
