Why the Baby Cries.

Now we know why the baby cries.
For long time the cause was yelled
in obscurity. 1t might be an inaccessi-
BILE pin, or it might be the helpless dis
crepancy betwixt the heavenly king
dom and this world, or it might be a
plain case of collie, called by what new
tangled term you please. 1t. has re-
manned for George III. Hotchkiss of the
University School of Commerce, adj
dressing editors and publishers of
trade journals in New York, to dis
cover that the baby cries in order to
advertise. 1t is the baby's effective an
nouncement, in the imperative mood,
that he wants to be taken up and
petted, or he wants the moon, or he
wants something else, and "he won't
be happy till he gets it." There lis no
denying that for an infant industry the
baby's advertising is a great success.
Nearly every time he gets results, and
the most astute and alert professional
solicitor cannot show higher percent
age of success.
