lie. We advertisers are largely re-
sponsible for that. We don't want
them to print accounts of accidents,
thefts or other troubles-in. our stores.
We try to get them to print compli-
mentary reading notices. If what
happens in our stores is legitimate
news it should go into the newspa-
pers. If it is not news it should not
be printed.
"The value of advertising depends
upon the strength of the newspaper
with the public - its prestige, the
service it renders, the things it
stands for.
Just to the extent that we induce
newspaper to print our reading
matter, which is not zeal news, to
that extent exactly we weaken that
newspapers standing with the pub
lie and also to that extent we dimin-
ish the effectiveness of that news
paper as our advertising medium"
1t is a blamed shame that Chica-.
COS merchant princes should have
missed this little talk by one of their
own brethren. This windy city of
ours is rotten in the newspaper
game. News is news here when it
doesn't hit any big advertiser. That
is the play of the Trust Press.
Murder and war streamers are run
all over the front pages of the loop
papers. Hearst sheets go wild over
possible intervention in Mexico. All
the papers are strong for news that
doesn't hit back at their advertisers.
The publishers in Chicago are a
game bunch of sports in the news

the case in the killing of Katherine
Goggin by Marshall Field truck.
Filene points out how the newspa-
pers fall for the bunk of the big adj
vertisers and then how the same big
advertisers come back and weaken
the newspapers standing with the
public.
Has Chicago big advertiser who
will come out and agree with Mr..
Filene of Boston on the newspaper
advertisers game? If so, let's hear
from him.
The Day Book absolutely believes
in playing fair with everybody. We
would much rather boost than
knock. Nobody likes to be a knock
err Some folks accuse us of knock
ing when we publish the news of an :
elevator accident or the news of rank
treatment to women arrested for
shoplifting in a department store. 1t
may read like knocking to folks who
have been reading the Trust Press.
That's because you seldom see news
accounts of that sort in the Trust
Press.
We do not take any advertising.
Nobody's got pull. We would rather
print the announcement of unions
barn dance than we would the notice
of a society wedding out on the
North Side. We'd rather take wal
lop as -some boss who hands his little
girl employees rotten pay than we
would publish the name of some
poor girl who has been mixed up in
a shady story.
In the boss case, he's got it COM
ing to him. In the girls case, she
merely may have slipped once Lack
of publicity might help her to get on
the right track.

An lin" and out indicator of a
particularly useful type is shown in
the accompanying sketch. For max

been worked with crimson silk.
To cover the board, turn the mate

STYLES FOR STOUT WOMEN

Ways Exceptionally Favored
Just Now.

Ii is now possible for the stout wom-
an to secure ready-made garments
with the much-desired individuality in
style Flare effects may appear at the
hips. knees or hem of the skirt, but for
stout women the fullness is dropped
below the hips by means OF a skirt
yoke. by the use OF panel sections or
by the circular cut OF the skirt.
Long lines in the center front and in
the center back may extend from the
bodice into the skirt the sides having
broken lines over the hips. Snug-fitting
bodices for stout women have the
girdle arranged in pointed outline. Civ

bodice may be cut in a pointed line.
Other becoming features are the set
in sleeves with a narrow shoulder line.
Then there is the fullness at the top
of the sleeve which makes the arm
taper at the elbow and takes away the
appearance of extra size at the waist
line by producing graceful taper
from the shoulder line. The drapery
of soft. looped-up folds we'll below the
hips is suitable for stout women.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS

Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-

poison, else you feel dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste

spoonful in a glass OF water before
