WHAT OTHER
 MERCHANTS ARE DOING

The best way for business man to get ahead is to study the methods Of successful merchantst in other places. If he will do that, the first thing that will strike his attention is that the leading merchants are adver- Using as never before.
 It would do some retail dealers good to run around the country a lit- tie, buy the newspapers of every town they go into and then see how modern advertising is spreading out Let them go up and down the street of almost any town and note the stores that look aggressive and busy Then let them take thatfist and compare it with the list of advertisers in the local newspapers of the town and they will find the two are nearly identical.
 Progressive merchants are sbending sums for advertising today that\would make their fathers open their eyes They have tried it in their experience, working up by .degrees from small spaces to larger ones. You find very few men who after advertising 1iber- ally ever give it up. The non-adver. tisers are the tirt1id, Who never dared to try it out in any consistent way.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
BRITISH soLDIERS' CONDUCT

A, Cadiz paper, the Conslcos some time back, contained a letter "ith the name of the writer complaining that British troops, on the storming of St. Sebastian, had committed many abominal acts, chiefly upon the unfortunate Spanish inhabitants. We did not copy the account be- cause we believe it was rather an ex- aggerated picture, and because we waited for better authority. It does appear, however, that a portion or the British Army has alf along ln- >dulged itself in acts of violence ana infamy, not only from private ac- counts, both Spanish and English but also from official statements from the very highest authorities; and it is therefore quite ridiculous to hear some people talk about the uniform good conduct of British sol diers.
 We all recollect the celebrated general orders issued by the Marquis of Wellington last year when he was retreating before the French army The noble commander gave it under his own hand, that outrages, such as he had never even read of had been committed during the retreat when there was not the shadow of a neces- sity for such disgracefuFd doings. Lord Wellington, we may weN be assured would not have talked SO of his army, had he not the abundant proof or the extreme grossness of it's behav- ,ior. And now again, we learn from the same undoubted and dignifled source that similar proceedings have just taken place on the French bor- ders. where excesses, of every kind were committed under the eyes even of their officers. \A

NOrWalk Councilmen Have No Right to Name
 Building Inspectors

That the Norwalk common council has no right to appoint building in- spectors is the decision of Acting Judge Wilder of the civil common pleas court handed down Saturday in the case of the State of Connecticut against Edward B. Gallagher of Nor walk. The court sustained Galla- been fined $40 in the Norwalk city court for failing to obtain permits from building, electrical and plumb ing inspectors. The decision allows Gallagher to be discharged.
 At the time of his arrest Gallagher was charged with violation of the building ordinance. After he had been found guilty in the city court, his counsel, Judge William H. Com ley. Jr., of this city, filed the demur- Ter on the ground that it was the duty of the council to pass on and control building permits. He claim ed the council had no power to dele gate its duties to other officers.

BUILDING UP {. A REPUTATION

The essential element in making a success in the selling of retail mer- chandise is building up a reputation. There are some merchants who try to build up some merchants who try reputation by sitting down and wait ing for trade to come to them. It was the old style way of doing things, and possibly good enough for their grandfathers. But people are not mak- fig money on that basis today.
 A man who is very faithful and honest in his business may get cer- tain limited reputation for reliability. But even at that if he never pushes out for new business. the public inn pression will be that he is deathly slow. That Is almost more of a hoo doc than a reputation for downright trickiness.
 Even if after many years he does get a certain limited reputation. he has to wait long and tedious years for it, and be satisfied during the waiting, time with very meagre re- turns.
 The cheapest and quickest way to build up a reputation is by means or newspaper advertising. An intelligent expense for advertising for six months will go long way toward putting hitherto unknown merchant on the map. People will be curious to see what his store will look like, then they will be personally interested to test out some of his offerings.
 Life is short and time is money. The man who doesn't advertise may have saved a small item just as he can al- ways save a small item by turning some clerk out of his sales force. But he has postponed the day when his store will become we'll known, and will acquire a reputation for business enterprise. While he Is sitting still in a penny wise and pound foolish way, his active competitor has got busy and is gathering in the business.

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good for Congestion and Colds
 as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard plaster burned and bistered while it acted. You can now get the relief and help ttas mustard plasters gave, without the plas- ter and without the blister.
 Mustero1e does it. It is a clean. white ointment, made with oil of mustard. It is scientifically prepared, so that it works wonders, and yet does not blister the tenderest skin.
 Just massage Musterole in with the finger tips gently. See how quickly it brings relief how speedily the pain disappears.
 Use Musterole for sore throat, bron- chitis. tonsilitis, croup, stiff. neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges- 'tion, plcurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of back or joints, eprains. sore muscles, bruises, chil- plains, frosted feet, colds of the chest kif often. prevents ppeumonia).

FISH PREPAREDNESS.
Manager Beardsley of New England Fish Exchange Advocates Fish
 Supply Commissioner.

A note of warning that measures should be taken to guard the supply of food fish during the war was sound ed by Wm. K. Beardsley,, Manager of the New England Fish Exchange, in an interview to-day. He said, Dr. M. E. Pennington of the Government Food Laboratory, has characterized fish as the poor mans food It is that and more. It is the only food produced in quantities in this country without cultivation. It is the only crop harvested day after quently it is the emergency ration of our vast population.
 I've have inaugurated the "home garden" movement to aid in supplying vegetables during the war. Measures have been taken to guard and regu- late the distribution of grains and of meat It is but logical that the same measures should be taken in the case of our sea food supply. I believe a man, familiar from actual expert ence with all phases of the fish busi- ness, should be appointed for this work, and that without delay.
 Labor disputes should not be al- lowed to endanger this food supply. in a crisis like this. Nor should any thing short of urgent military neces- sity be allowed to stop the sea from giving it's important daily contribution to our tables.
 Europe has learned, through bit ter experience, the lesson this coun- try has still to learn of the value of it's food supply, especially in war time. It As but recently that the American public began to understand the value of fish as a food. War will drive that lesson home to them. But the ap- pofntment of assuitably fitted man to take the helm for the distribution of fish now, will enable the lesson to be absorbed without actual hardship to the student
