Motus who discovered that the gem
eral was that same Lieutenant Won
Kissing, whom Sir William Russell,
during the war of 1S70-1871 convict
ed of stealing china from the great
factory at Sevres. And so General
Won Kissing gets his copy at any rate

Founded on February LIST in the
year 1915, Free Belgium may be said
to have been the very thorn in the
flesh of the Germans during their oc-
cupation. 1t is, as it informs its read
ers, a leaf1et of patriotic propaganda,
which respectfully declines all CEN
sorship and is unable to advertise it's
dates of issue since its circulation is
necessarily regularly irregular" On
the 21st of July last year its success
had become so complete that it felt
itself in a position to publish a spe-
clal anniversary number, on the oc-
casion of the celebration of national
independence, which by tradition is
held on that date, and this in spite of
the fact that according to its own adj
vertisement business being at a
standstill under German domination,
we have suppressed the page of ad-
vertlscments, and advise our readers
to save their money for better tines;
whilst, in No. 81 it produced a fac
smile of German post card, dis
trlbuted In Germany at the beginning
of the war, and symbolizing that
country's intention of retaining Bel
GUM, as part Of its peace terms, by a
coat-of-arms representing a German
soldier riding the Belgium lion, with
German helmet for a crest, and the
motto, Union accomplished by force.
The fact is, that there is one factor
which no amount of police surveillance
can control, and which no police bar
rier can confine. 1t is known as mind,
and when a nation finds all other
means of expressing itself cut off,
IT falls back on weapon over which
bars and bolts, rifles and police or
ders have no control. For years the
Europeans in India and Africa have
wondered how news travels to the
most inaccessible spots, without ap-
parently any visible means. The Ger
man police in Belgium are learning
the secret today in the difficulty of
suppressing human thought. When,
however, the war is over, and the
whole story of la presse, clandestine
is told, one of the most interesting
chapters in the history of the war
will have been written.--C Christian

Advertising Costs Low Com
pared With Gross Receipts.

Figures given out by the Associa
ton of National Advertisers, an or
ganization whose members spend mil
lions annually in advertising, SHOW
low percentages of advertising COST
when compared with gross receipts.
The favorite plant of the business
man who has fallen asleep by the way
side is that advertising is huge eco.
nomic waste; that millions of dollars
are spent and wasted, in artificial at
tempts to stimulate selling, to the ul-
innate injury of both buyer and sell.
err. At first glance, and to the mar
who has not really studied the sub
Ject, this argument may appear logi-
cal. The only trouble with the logic
is that it does not square with the
facts. Most people know more things
are not so about this subject than
any other under the sun.
"Let us see how much the big ad-
vertisers spend" says Allen G. Rel
ley, president of the Association of
National Advertisers, in discussing
this matter. "The average man hears
talk every day about the millions and
millions spent for advertising, and he
finally gets the notion that, somehow
or other, the buyer has got to pay for
it.
81 wonder if Mr.. Average Man
ever stops to realize that those mil
lions spent in advertising sell hun
dreds of millions worth of goods
goods that could never be sold so
cheaply any other way. And it is the
immense saving in selling cost that
helps to make lower-priced goods.
Millions spent for advertising
sounds big, but hundreds of millions
worth of goods sold by advertising
makes the actual amount spent for
advertising look small.
what is the exact ratio of adver-
Using to sales anyhow? This is
something that every buyer would
like to know.
81 am glad to be able to tell the
public. The Association of National
Advertisers has collected some valu-
able facts and figures on this subject.
Listen to a few of them:
"The advertising of one of the lead
ing paint manufacturers of the coun-
try averages 1-3 per cent of their
total sales. In other words, for ev-
cry dollars worth of paint they sell,
they spend 3 1-3 cents in advertising.
This is about equivalent to the price
of postage stamp and a cents
worth of paper for every dollars
worth of goods sold. Another big
paint and varnish manufacturer spends
from 3 1-2 to 1-2 per cent.
Next, take clothing. We have OBJ
tanned figures concerning two of the
biggest clothing manufacturers in the

PATRIOTISM AT THE TABLE

Of all the food problems which con
front the housewife the most diff
cult problem is persuading the family
to eat the right amount. Practically
everybody eats too much. Overeatine
not only taxes the body but the pocket
book as well. Most persons who come
to the table hungry eat too much be-
fore they realize that their appetites
have been satisfied. AS result they
abuse their digestive system and US
ually are uncomfortable the rest of
the day. Continued overeating re-
suits in various ailments which are
never attributed to the real cause, an
uncurbed appetite.
The housewife will be able to de-
termine the exact amount of food
needed by every member of the fam
lily but she cannot expect to control
the amount eaten unless the family
gives her their cooperation. Nothing
will arouse persons ire sooner than
an effort to limit the amount of food
which he eats. Nevertheless, most
people could reduce their diet con-
siderably and still cat enough for
body needs. Furthermore, by limit
ing the amount of food which they eat
now they can probably eliminate a
great deal of digestive troubles in lat
err life.
Excessive eating also wastes food.
Under present conditions prevention
of food waste is a patriotic duty. The
housewife who persuades her family
to cat less will not only contribute to
family health and reduce the family
living expenses but she will also make
available more food to supply the in
creased demand.
Miss Bah Bell of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture calls
attention to the following amount of
food per day which is recommended
by government specialists for a man
who does fairly hard muscular labor:
l Ia pounds of bread or pound ce-
real; 2 ounces or IA cup of fat;
ounces or IA cup sugar or IA cup
honey; 1 Ia pounds fresh fruits and
vegetables; ga pound meats or meat
substitutes "a ounces milk equals /
ounce meat or meat substituted =

One of the best known candy makers
in the country and one of the biggest
advertisers, spends per cent.
Then take the big automobile and
tire manufacturers with their full
page and double-page spreads. Surely,
now, the percentage figures will be-
gin to jump. Will they?
You will be surprised when | give
you the figures for two of the most
famous automobile builders in the
country. One is 2 per cent. the other
is per cent. Also two of the leading
tire manufacturers; one spends 2 per
cent, the other 2 per cent; and all
four rank among the biggest adver-
Users in the country.
These figures are authentic, and
when you consider the enormous vol
ume Of the automobile and tire bus
mess you will see that the small per-
centages are ample to provide for the
wonderful publicity.
"And then we come to the big de-
partment stores-where at one time or
another every buyer buys. You can
see them fairly eating up the news
papers with their big spreads, but if
you expect to find big percentage
figures here, again you will be agree
ably disappointed. The figures pos
sessed by the Association of National
Advertisers show that the average
department stores advertising does
not cost more than per cent of its
total business.
"The fact is that the great major
ity of all nationally advertised arti-
cles-articles which are Familiarity
known in every home in the country,
which are famous for their quality
as well as their immense distribution
belong in the 5 per cent or under
class.
"And let this final point be remem-
bered. Even if this advertising rep
resented direct advance on what the
buyer would otherwise have to pay,
this would make little difference in the
price of the goods. But it does not.
And why not?
because advertising is the most
efficient method of marketing ever de-
veloped by business enterprise-there-
fore its effect is to decrease and not
to INCREASE the sum total of selling
cost. This is a simple fact about adj
that every buyer of adver-
tised goods ought to know"

popularization of corn bread, over an
area of the country where it had been
used almost exclusively for decades.
In the late '8Os the production of corn
so greatly exceeded the home con-
sumption that the price. went down al
most below the point of profit for the
farmer. At about this time an agita-
ton sprang up, throughout the corn
belt, which influenced Congress to
send a special commission to the
French international Exposition of
1890 for the special purpose of promot-
ing the greater use of corn in domes-
tic use. The commission was headed
by Clark E. Carr of Illinois, an old
friend and neighbor of Abraham Lin
coin. Mr.. Carr had served as Con-
sul-General in Paris, and the Indian
Corn Kitchen which he established
was no minor attraction on the Champ
de Mars throughout one of the bright
est of Partisan summers. This ex-
hibit, showing as it did an almost in
Vulnerable variety of ways in which
the cereal might be used in the prepa-
ration of food, did much toward popu-
larizing it abroad.
1t might be a good stroke of policy
for all concerned if Congress would
appoint, not one, but large number
of commissions, at this time, to show
how corn meal may be used as a sub
stitute for flour. Such movement
would be no less enlightening, it would
seem, to residents of the United
States than to those of other lands.
If corn were used as it should be used
in the kitchens of the world, flour
would be selling at a much lower
price per barrel than it is today

Tuesday morning and was witnessed
by large number of people. While
the machine was very high, the engine
could be heard distinctly. The craft
was going in a northerly direction,
and in passing over the farm of John
Reese, near town, the aviator was seen
to throw two packages overheard
One of the packages lighting in the
sand, was picked up by Mr.. Reese. 1t
proved to be a bottle of whiskey. The
other package has not yet been found,
but it is reported that large number
