methods of Campaigning which are

From the results he gets In the

All advertising does not pay. Much
that is expended for advertising Is
lost, gives no immediate or permanent
results. 1t is not good advertising,
Advertising must be SO written and
SO displayed as to attract attention
and hold It. And in addition. when
the advertiser feels the pull of the
publicity he must take advantage Of it
and not disappolnt the people.
Here Is lesson In advertising for
the merchant and business man.
Make every customer an advertiser
for your store. Treat him right when
he comes to purchase your goods
make him feel that you have done him
good and he win go out from your
place Of business not only satisfied

GEN. cAsrELNAu.

Gen. Jofrre's chief lieutenant, prin.
cipal deputy and able assistant is Gen.
Marquis Curieres de Castelnau. He is
considerably older than his chief, being
near the seventy mark. He is the son
of the famous Marquis de Castelnau
who was the principal aide,de.camp of
Napoleon Ill at the battle of Sedan. He
Is far from being popular among the
French masses, as he is devoted
churchman, and, 1t has often been al

lists who would overthrow the republic
and set up another monarchy in France.
Gen. Castelnau has Indignantly denied
these allegations and has maintained
his firm allegiance to ia republique."
For years, however, radical politicians
have continued to insist that Castlenau
has infected the War Department and
the army with Jesuitism and monarchi.
cal ideals. Gen. Joffre and his asso.
ciates have insisted upon Castelnau's
retention in office, in spite OF these
allegations, because OF his brillaince as
a strategist. His first experience of
warfare was in the tragic Franco
Prussian war, In which his father held
a melancholy emlnence. The son of
the Third Napoleon's aide.de.camp
emerged from that struggle with the
reputation of a brave and brilliant sol.
dier, and since then has demonstrated
time and again his peculiar fitness to
cope with military problems. As Gen.
Joffre's lieutenant he is charged with
many important things. and ihs re.

those of his chief. Gen. castelnau has
