INSURANCE RATES REDUCED.

Austin. Tex, Jan. 27.-More than
one hundred Texas cities and towns
have recently been granted reductions
In their final rates OF insurance be.
cause OF good fire records during the
past three years. This action by the
state fire insurance commission was
the result OF long consideration Of the
statistics gathered from all parts OF
the state. The maximum reduction Is
Is PER cent and many Texas towns are
striving to accomplish this. as It
amounts to a quite considerable sum
to each policy holder Instead OF
lengthening the good fire record to
five years as urged by the insurance
companies. the board has decided to
penalize those cities with bad fire rec.
ords. thus equalizing conditions. Here.
tofore no penalty has been exacted
from towns with bad records.

afflicted with mental barrenness.
While others are forging ahead
in the business of life, they
find themselves losing ground.
Promotions and raises in pay
do not come to them. They are
.ucky to hold their jobs.
Yet how different things
would be if they would only use
their eyes and their ears as aids
in their mental development.
Even few minutes spent ev-
cry day in putting fertilizing
ideas into their minds-by read
ing books of information and in
splration, and by talking with
acquaintance who think about
really important things-would
make vast difference to them.
Many Moments Wasted
The moments wasted in idle
gossip, or listening to a discus
sion of the latest murder case,
if devoted to the gaining of use
I full knowledge, would mean to
them and to their families a
marked increase in prosperity.
Bear in mind always that a
mans success depends upon the
way his mind works. And the
way his mind works depends
chiefly upon the kind of stimu-
|ius it receives from the ABSORB
ton of ideas.
The schooling we receive in
boyhood is itself process OF
mental fertilization through the
absorption of ideas. And this
same process, by self-schooline
must continue to the end OF life
if we would have our minds go
on working well
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-04-19
Minds Need Fertilization

Here is where so many men
make a great mistake. The
schooling of boyhood is by them
regarded as all the schooling
they will ever need.
They forget that there is such
a thing as mental starvation.
They do not realize that their
minds need nourishment as well
as their bodies.
So it happens that they neg
lect to continue fertilizing their
minds. Still worse, they often
poison them.
For the sake, therefore, of
your mental vigor, be careful
now you use spare time. Try
every day to learn a little some
thing worth learning. That way
success lies.-H. A. Bruce.

TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR ADVERTISERS

Summing in a few lines an
interesting address by DR.. Frank
Crane before the Dallas (Tex.)
AID Club, his principal points
might be called the ten COM
mandments of advertising, as
follows:
First. All advertising should
be clear. It ought to state just
what your business is and where
it is, giving your precise adj
dress.
Second. Advertising should
be reckoned as a part of your
business. 1t is as necessary as
the sign over your door.
Third. 1t should be regular
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-04-19
FERTILIZE YOUR MIND

The human mind may fairly
Re compared to a piece Of arabic
land. Just as the land will not
yield good crops unless it be
carefully worked and from time
to time fortified, 50 That human
minds need fertilization.
In the case of the mind the
fertilization consists in getting
into it well-seiected ideas, by be-
coming diffused and elaborated,
will permeate the soil of the
mind TO keep it fresh and strong.
And, for the purposes Of fer
tilization, the eyes and the ears
are to the mind what the pillow
and the spade are to the land.
Many people, however, though
able to make good use OF their
eyes and ears, resemble careless
farmers in that they seldom do
us eyes and ears for the pur-
pose of mental fertilization.
Or they are careless about the
quality of the fertilizing materi-
al they work into their minds.
What they take in through
their eyes and ears is mostly
trashy stuff, ideas that are inert
or weedy, and quite without the
richness of substance essential
to creative mental vigor.
Some Mentally Barren
These are the people who new
err read good books, whose
amusements are always OF a
nonintellectual kind, who drone
away their leisure time IN idle
less or dissipation.
Such people are certain to be
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-04-19

and constant. People trade with
the firm whose name is familiar
10 them. The newspaper ought
to be your partner.
Fourth. The newspaper 60
ing daily into the hands Of the
people, is the best medium for
advertising.
Fifth. Advertising should be
attractive. The most attractive
thing you can put in it is some
thing that appeals to the self
interest of the readers.
Sixth. Be brief. Don't try to
crowd all the reading matter
possible into the space you pay
for, so as to get your moneys
worth.
Seventh. Be human. Make
your advertisements as alive
and warm as you can. Don't be
too cold and precise.
Eighth. Tell the truth. When
customers come to your store
do little more for them than
you said you would in your an
nouncement.
Ninth. It is the duty of all
honest concerns to advertise.
That is the best way to crowd
out fakirs.
Tenth. Advertising is neces-
sary to all forms of business
which appeal to the public.
The newspaper is the street
that runs through the minds of
!! the community. Your nameplate
ought to be on that street.

A Few Facts in Regard to the New
Medicine, Which; is Now Sold
Here.

Tanlac, the master Medicine, is
being produced at the laboratories OF
the Cooper Medicine Co., Dayton,
:lhio, at the rate Of nearly five mil
lion bottles year.
The demand for Tanlac is greater
than the supply. These facts constl-
tute the record Of the most popular
rc"onstructive tonic ever offered to
the people. The only explanation, of
Tanlac's triumph is Tanlac's merit.
Only true worth could gain and sus-
tain the reputation which Tanlac has
won from the very first day the first
bottle was taken from the drug store.
Back of Tanlac's triumph in the
drug store stand Tanlac's triumphs
in the home. 1t is what the neighbors
say about Tanlac that counts. Adver-
Using may sell one bottle, but the
person who gets and uses that bot
t'e is the person that sells a dozen
bottles.
One person benefited by Tanlac
may tell a score or even a hundred
people about the medicine that help
led them. People relieved from dis
tressing and dangerous illness by
Tanlac just can't keep their expert.
