local surgeons in recent years is that
Of Pedro Jamit. a Syrian merchant Of
1uzpan, Nayarit, Mexico. A bullet
that had been lodged in Jamit's back
for several months was removed re-
Gently at hospital here.
Jamit was held up and robbed of
$1,000 by bandits He was shot
through the head, in the hip and in
the stomach. The first two bullets
came out Of their own accord, while
the one that entered the stomach was
removed by the surgeons.
After being wounded, Jamit was
taken into the mountains by the
bandits. During the -16 days that he
remained there he received no medf-
cal treatment his wounds being
washed with cold water by an aged
Mexican nurse. Through the aid of
O Mexican woman the Syrian escaped

pie. He who believes that art has lost
its hold upon you, sees at flower ex-
hibitons, at displays Of flower ar

of the many refutations OF that SIAN

that the smile on the face Is backed

Charles A. Selden. While in Chicago,
Mr.. 6eiden questioned "a well-informed
police official as to the effect Of pro-

reply was that the effect was bad.

that the badness was Of peculiar sort

meant was that since the sale of An

very materially decreased the police,

directly to drunkenness were much
less numerous than before, yet found
it much more difficult at present to

That representation Of the man seems
10 be borne out by his published state

individual whom Mr.. Wilson wanted

Of his stand on Americanism, aud solely
because his presence in that body
would mean one more Democratic vote.
But the good people Of Michigan
thought otherwise and elected Senator
Newbery, who had been on active

Many Merchants Err

There are many merchants, espec-
ially in small towns, who believe there
IS no use in afyertising unless they
have bargains to offer. Experience
has shown them that when they have
1 lot Of merchandise which they want
20 move because it has been around
too long, and they put special price
on it, and advertise it, it usually moves
quickly. 1t never occurs to them
that little advertising, done before
the goods have become shop worn or
has beens, would move them without
a cut in the price,
The best kind OF advertising is that
which makes permanent customers,
rather than that which merely makes
sales, Bargain advertising prompts
the production Of shoddY merchandise
and promotes slip shod merchandising,
Spend more time telling people about
the merchandise why it Is Of value,
how people can use, and you will not
have to spend much time talking price.
