The word "truthfully" should be add
ed permanently to the old maxim TT
pays to advertise" Dr. E. N. Calisch of
Richmond, Va. told the delegates and
visitors to the first annual convention
of the Potomac States Master Bakers
Association at the second session of
that organization this morning at the
Raleigh Hotel.
The days of the cellar bakery are
over" he said. in part, land the mod
ern, sanitary and well lighted baking
plant is one calculated to command the
confidence of the public. Its advertise
ments should be of the same kind. It
is the duty of the proprietor to let his
patrons know not only the conditions
under which the products are made, but
also handled and delivered. Take the
public into your confidence to the
greatest possible degree.
Your customers, to use the oriental
phrase, break bread with you; they
are entitled to the best protection you
as hosts can give them"
DR.. Calisch spoke on the subject
Bread Advertising From the Readers
Viewpoint" His homily on art of paid
publicity as judged by the reader and
the consumer of bread was enthusiast
tically received and he was given a
rising vote of thanks by the conven-
ton.
Evils of Price Cutting.
The evil wrought by price cutting,
which he characterized as one of the
chief causes of false advertising, was
emphasized by John Brayshaw, jr., a
representative of the American Fair
Trade League. in his discussion before
is intended to prohibit the cutting of
prices on articles on which the manu-
facturer sets the price.
Mr.. Brayshaw. who is chairman Of
the legislative committee of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Grocers,
desired the convention to indorse this
measure. originally introduced by Rep
resentative Stevens of New Hampshire,
to regulate the resale price of trade
marked articles. The association de.
cided to take the matter under advise
ment later.
This bill comes nearer giving prop
er protection both to retailers and
consumers than any others yet devils

Washington Herald.
Miss Louise o. Bell, who had charge
Of the distribution of tickets, said after
the performance:
1T was an event in the life of many of
these little ones. Judging by their en-
thusiasm and appreciation, they win Ions
remember it You would be amazed at
the number Of little ones who remember
the entire story Of the play. Two or three
ones wanted to know why they could not
see the same show in their neighborhood
theaters. That is hardly possible for a
while.'

GIRL
TAKES DRECO and IS
NOW Bright and WELL
Took No Interest in Her Books
Nor Play Had No Appe-

Gains Seven Pounds on One
Bottle.

Now here Is the story Of little 1o-year-
old girl who was thin, pale. weak. all
run down SO that at school she took no
interest in her work, and cared nothing
for play. Her father said she had no ap-
petite and didn't eat enough to keep a
little bird alive. She was Just thin and all
wasting away. That is just the way Mr.
Q. E. Valentine of route No. /, Boons-
boro, Nd, described his little daughters
condition, and said since she has taken
one bottle of Dreco she has gained seven
pounds in weight in two weeks time her
cheeks are rosy. she takes deep interest
In her books and her improvement in
school is very gratifying to him. She
romps and plays as hard as any other
healthy girl of her age, and seems bright
and happy all the time.
Dreco is just as well adapted to giving
children as to grown persons, all that IS
necessary is to reduce the dose Dreco
exerts a powerful tonic effect and builds
up the system of rundown children and
weak old persons, 1t creates an appetite
and promotes digestion. 1t relieves con-
stipation which is one thing every parent
should give especial attention to In their
children. Dreco is perfectly harmless, as
1t Ia composed of the juices and extracts
of roots herbs, barks and berries and

down on a chair and began to rock back

Mr.. Rothenberg asked what was the
matter. The woman nodded toward the
shawl and said:
My baby is sick
The druggist looked inside the shawl

Policeman Tighe went with the woman.
while she carried the dead baby to her
home, two rooms on the ground noor.
The woman said she is Mrs. Minnie
Stevens. Her husband, Clarence, who
drives a wagon for a stevedore when he
can find a job, was at home. She said
the baby, Elizabeth, became i'll last Sum-

to children. There were rare oppor-
tunities to be thrilled and pleased by the
good fairy and to hiss and show dis
approval of the screen william. And did
those children miss a chance? Decidedly
not When there was a chance to ap-
pIaud, they applauded-the boys with
shouts and whistling. and the girls with
hand-clapping and stamping OF feet
The children followed the story OF the
play with intense interest. MISS heher-
mann was plainly the favorite OF the
kids, and they lost no opportunity to
demonstrate their joy. The battle scenes
worked the boys up to an acme or en-
thusiasm, and the exciting pursuits with
blooded Arabian horses were second IN
favor.
All In all it was a gala day for the
little ones and for the 100 or moro moth
ers who escorted them. The performance
ran on without a hitch. Representatives
OF the Associated Charities were present
to look after the welfare Of the chill
dren, and they found that their only
lob was to keep the enthusiasm within
bounds.
Absence of Music.
Some of the mothers inquired after the
performance regarding the absence OF
music. Commenting on this Manager
Taylor said:
THAT Is easily explained. The score
accompanying the picture is exceedingly
lengthy and ambitious. Mo orchestra
could be found that would be able to
play 1t through three times in one day
without suffering from physical exhaus-
ton. The men play for two hours and
a half constantly, with only five min
ute intermission. You can see that they
could hardly play three performances.

MAKES PITEOUS APPEAL
FOR EMPTY PASTE JARS

A piteous appeal for old paste jars has
goen forth from the supply department OF
the Panama Canal. and the reason for the
wall Of the chief Quartermaster is this:
Several months ago II was decided that
library paste for use Of departments OF
the Canal service should be manufactured
by industrial laboratories OF the Com
missary Division at Cristobsl. and a cir
cular was ksued asking that all ofices
collect empty paste jars and covers and
forward them to the general manager
Of the Commissary Division.
Now comes the chief quartermAster in
another circular which says just three
jars have so far been received.
The resultant dilemma OF the quarter
master, with lots of paste and no place
to put II, can easily be imagined Some
unkind suggestions have been made that
II IL now up to the clerks TO come and
get their quota Of paste and receive IL
the best way they can, even II they have
to carry II OF in their hats.
