1917 To Be An Advertising Year

The year 1917 looms up in prospect as the Greatest advertising year in history
 Many factors of influence point to this con cluSion. It will be, for the most part, and for most things, year of high prices. Commod- ties have increased in cost. This increase has been universal. It means new angles to house. Prosperity is here and to stay for some time People have more money else higher prices for commodities would not prevail.
 Merchants will do a larger volume of bus mess during 1917 than in any previous year of their experience. BUT COMPETITION WILL BE SHARPER THAN EVER BEFORE.
 Some merchants will try to earn larger profits than usual because of the period of plen- ty-and will seek tO do so through advancing selling prices of things to an unjuStihaOle level Other merchants, following consistent policy of SERVICE TO THEIR PATRONS will keep prOft-marginS to the level of less prosperous times and will win good will and future pro- fits
 New conditions will give to store adyer- tSing ESPECIAL INTEREST AND VALUE It will hold the attention of the readers of newspaper as never befOre-fOr it will help LEARN MORE ABOUT THE STORES THAN THEY HAVE EVER KNOWN. And they will get most of this valuable knowledge through studying the store ads-fOlOwed by frSt-hand investigations of store offerings.
 Some merchants will make GREATER STRIDES TOWARD THEIR GOALS in 1917 than they have ever made in any other year. They will base this progress on REAL SER VICE, MADE KNOWN THROUGH REAL ADJ EERTISING. Some merchants will lose ground through Short-Sighted policies of taking all possible immediate profits"
 New economic conditions face all merchants, and those who are to adapt their policies will make greater and more intensive use than ever before of ADVERTISING.
 Not to plan MORE ADVERTISING FOR 1917 THAN FOR ANY PREVIOUS YEAR IS TO FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE TREND OF THE TIME No wise merchant will make that

dyspepsia.
'Pape's Diapepsin" Is quickest
and surest stomach
relief known.

Why not get some now-this mo-
ment, and forever rid yourself OF
stomach trouble and indigestion? A
dieted stomach gets the blues and
grumbles Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There will
be no dyspepsia or belching of gas or
eructations of undigested food; no
feeling like a lump Of lead in the
stomach or heartburn, sick headache
and dizziness, and your food will not
ferment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors.
Papc's Diapepsin costs only so cents
for large case at any drug store here,
and will relieve the most obstinate
case of indigestion and upset stomach
in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
gas from the stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines, and, besides,
one single dose will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all your
food the same as n sound, healthy
stomach would do 1t.
When Diapepsin works, your stom-
ach rests--gets itself in order, cleans
up--and then you feel like eating
when you come to the table, and what
you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery Is waiting for you a. soon as
you decide to take little Diapepstn.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want to
become thoroughly cured this time.
Remember. II your stomach feels
out of-order and uncomfortable now
YOU can get relief in five minutes.

Guatemala City, Fuatemala, Jan. @
The steamer Sesostris of the KOS
mos Steamship company of Hamburg,
which sank off this coast seven years
aGo, has been raised by the Skinner
syndicate Of Seattle, Wash, and, after
the vessel has been repaired in the
drydock at Panama. the derelict will
be registered as an American vessel in
the coastwise trade. She will be re-
named Estrada Cabrera, in honor of
the president of Guatemala. She has
a net tonnage of 5,025. The Phila-
delphia Breakwater company made
attempts to raise the vessel many
years ago, but the work was ADAM
doned as hopeless and the Skinner
Syndicate was formed for the purpose,
engaging the British Columbia Wreck
ing company for the work. It is es-
timated that after repairs have been
made the recovered steamer will be
worth nearly a million dollars.

company, has concluded an agreement
with the South American Emigration

900 japanese emisrants to South
America within four years from 1917.
The company has also decided to
open a regular quarterly service be-
tween Japan and South Africa, but
the homeward bound route has not
vet been selected.
Baron Kondo, president of the
company, which has just declared a
dividend of IS per cent, issues a
warning that the current shipping
boom will be greatly changed after
the war when all the ships now used
as military transports return to the
carrying trade. In the meantime he
declared the great increase in the cost
Of coal and other necessities would
cut heavily into shipping profits.
During the last six months the
and has ten others under charter,
has transported a cargo approximate
ing $4,000 tons and more than 49,
600 passengers.
Speaking Of the American service
the president said the shipments from
China showed a falling off, but that
Japan's export trade with the United
States and the shipments of steel and
cotton to Far Eastern countries We're
remarkably large.
