for cause were excused in part by Rev.
Joseph ] Rae in his sermon at First
Presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing on christianity and Women"
Men juries who acquit women who
have killed their husbands may be
fully aware that the women have been
murdered body and soul by their nus

dues when they take the law into their
own hands," he said.
DR.. Rae pleaded for womens' right
to determine her position in life
What right have the men in the
church to decide whether women may
preach?" he asked.
Women should have the right to
determine their duty and place in life
as freely as men have the right"

MISTAKES TO AVOID.

Previous articles In this series have
shown how to prepare effective adver-
Using. In this one, we point out the
mistakes most frequently made even
by some who consider themselves good
advertisement writer's.
One of the most common faults in
advertising Is the attempt at clever
ness, which often fails to impress the
reader as such and consequently falls
fiat.
If the purpose of the advertisement
Is to sell something (and 1t almost In
variably isl, then something catchy"
will not accomplish the desired results
as readily as few well-chosen words
of sensible, forceful sales argument.
Flowery language also is very much
out of place in good advertisement.
Elaborate figures of speech, large and
unusual words and long, complicated
sentences often serve to confuse the
reader and fill hip with disgust. The
really good ad-writer avoids these
faults as he would "A plague.
The mistakes mentioned In the fore
going paragraphs are few of the rea-
sons why most unsuccessful adver-
Users have formed the conclusion that
advertising doesn't pay.

SIMPLICITY OF APPEAL.

An advertisement phrased in simple
words is much stronger than it would
be If 1t contained a lot of technical
terms and long words. The average
reader Is not familiar with many tech
meal phrases and will not take the
trouble to look them up.
The well-posted advertiser knows
that to sell merchandise he must make
his readers want it. And this he can
not do If they are unable to unders
stand what he tells them about the
goods.
So he avoids technical descriptions.
He shuns big words. He keeps his
sentences short so that the reader can
follow the thought easily.
His description of the goods is writ
ten not in the shop words of the maker
but In the language of the salesman.
He tells of the articles merits, it's
uses, its convenience, its quality and
its price.
And when he ends his story he
leaves you with a desire to see, to
have and to own the article about
which he has told you. He accom-
plishes what technicalities would not
do.

SYSTEMATIC PLAN.

One single advertisement does not
make campaign any more than one
single cannon shot makes a battle. IL
you were to read one advertisement by
a local dealer and not see another by
him for long time, you would not be
much impressed.
Even If he advertised at long inter-
walls, you would not pay much atten-
ton to him. But the man who has fire.
-quent messages of interest for you gets
you into the habit of looking for them.
Following this theory, he advertises
Systematically. He maps out a defiRite
plan or campaign. His announcements
appear at regular and frequent inter-
walls so you know when to expect them
and will, therefore. look for them.
He adopts a style which remains
characteristic of all his advertising.
Each advertisement has a certain In
dividuality about 1t, and yet something
that identifies 1t with him.
He may use peculiar style of Illus
tration throughout his advertising or
maintain uniformity of general APP
pearance that distinguishes 1t from
other advertising at a glance. But
whatever Its distinctive features may
be, he uses them constantly and at
regular intervals.

GOOD DESCRIPTIVE MATTER.

Having written the introduction for
the advertisement. the writer arrives
at the point where he is to tell about
the goods he is offering for sale or
that he has just received in stock to
be offered later.
This part of the advertisement is
every bit as important as those which
we have already discussed in previous
articles. Upon the clearness of de-
scription depends very largely the sue
cess of the advertisement in creating
a desire.
Good descriptive matter Is, first of
all, free from misleading or false
statements. Then, it is written in
simple, easily understood language
that makes you almost see the mer-
chandise in your mind.
Too frequently the advertiser knows
the goods so well that he fails to real
ize that the reader knows perhaps
nothing about them and he omits i'm
portant details from his description.
The good ad-writer places himself
in your position and asks himself
questions that you might ask. Then
he answers them truthfully and con-
cisely with the result that you can
understand clearly the correct nature
of the merchandise.

ADVERTISING |; z!
BUILDING CONFIDENCE.

When you patronize merchant who
practices honesty in his advertising
and always sells the quality he offers
through his printed announcements,
you acquire confidence in him and his
goods.
You accept his word as truth. You
know that when he says he is going
to sell dollar values at half price you
can buy full dollars worth for fifty
cents.
And you feel that you can go to his
store at any time and be assured of
honest treatment, honest values and
honest prices.
Good advertising in its fullest sense
can give any merchant the reputation
of being ION the square" On the
other hand, advertising with only an
occasional little untruth can often
undermine the reputation of dealer
to such an extent that you become sus-
picious and question every statement
he makes thereafter.
Advertising that tends to build con-
fidence is a mighty and valuable in
strument in the hands of the progress
siye merchant II is the means of
nourishing his business and making 1t
grow to the limit of its capacity.

FREQUENT CHANGE OF ADvER
EASEMENTS.

Most of the successful retail adver.
Using men in the country make it a
rule never to run the same newspaper
advertisement two days in succession.
They contend that advertising Is news
the first time 1t appears and waste
of money after that.
This Is an excellent rule to follow
Daily changes of advertisements give
the readers something new to think
about-awaken some new interest ev-
cry day.
Those people who read certain adj
yertisement on first appearance are
not likely to read it the second time
1t is printed. And the percentage of
those who did not see it when first
published is SO small that 1t does not
pay to repeat it for their benefit.
If 1t is advisable or necessary to adj
yertise the same thing more than one
day, the advertisement can be changed
sufficiently each day to make 1t look
and read like new one.
In this way much better results can
be obtained. Oftentimes new selling
points can be featured from day to
day. When possible this should be
done.
