(TNHE other night Just before retiring
started to read little 2x5 inch paper
bound pamphlet, written by a young
kfriend~ of mine who is the advertising and
ESaleS manager Of metal Shingle and siding
manufacturing concern up in the Province
I of Ontario, Canada. Its title was YOUR
kQUESTIONS ANSWERED"
T z Now ordinarily, to a man who knows
as little about shingles and sidings as | do,
treatise on the subject is a good thing to
read just before bedtime in order to insure
going to sleep. But this wasn't that kind
of a treatise.
tit was one of the best little pieces of
advertising it has ever been my good
fortune to come across. 1t went at the
matter of advertising shingles from the
viewpoint of the POSSIBLE BUYER OF
SHINGLES. Every question that an in
sending purchaser of the article advertised
could possibly ask a salesman or repre-
sentative of the company face to face was
asked in that pamphlet, which was very
attractvely printed and each question was
answered in a frank, chattv, Straight-from-
the-Shoulder way that simply COMPELLED
BELIEF in the statements made and IN
SPIRED CONFIDENCE in the advertiser
T 1t was aimed at the Canadian man-on-
the-farm. Had | been a farmer with
house or barn that needed shingles or sid
ing, that little question-and- answer adver-
tiSement would have made me sit right
down and write to that firm--or to its
nearest agent as was suggested in the
pamphlet. There was no bombast and there
were no eXtravagant claims in that piece of
advertising matter. 1t was all SELLING
TALK-very simply written quite inexpen-
Slvely dressed-but every word of it the
kind of s-what-we We got-and-here's-
why-yOu-should-buy copy that SELLS
WHAT 1T ADVERTISES.
2 And the fellow who wrote that piece Of
advertising is only D years old Would
that every merchant who spends money in
the use of printers ink could spend if as
wisely! Would that ! could put into the
hands of every prospective advertiser a COPY
of that pamphlet so that he might profit by
its example. For it proved theory have
long entertained-that good advertising
isn't noise or buncombe or cleverness, but
lust common sense, aided and abetted and
backed up by, common honesty

Witnesses in Socha
Manslaughter Case
Withhold Testimon,

An obvious inclination on the part
of the witnesses to Withhold evidence
of an incriminatory nature marked
the preliminary Hearing of John
Petroski and Jacob Kobielak,

nection with the death of A. Socha,
who was inflated with compressed
air on the canning floor of the
Cudahy Packing company, March

given this morning The charge
will either be dismissed or the two

trict court on the charge of man
slaughter.
OF seven witnesses called to the
stand only Captain John Briggs Of
fered testimony of a nature that
would sustain the charge lodged
against the two men. He stated
that Petroski had admitted placing
the mouth of the hose to the anal
opening of Socha. With the ex-
ception of Captain Briggs, Special

| South Side
PRICE OF BULK
HOGS AT s. SIDE
MARKET HIGH
Average Run of Stock
Brings Higher Prices
Than Ever Paid
Before.

Hogs, still upward bound, reached
S2O35 per hundred on the South
Side market Wednesday morning.
This is S. cents below the highest
price ever paid for hogs on this
market. In September of last year
a record of 5000 was set. For the
first time in the history of the South
Side market the average went above
the $40 mark. Both the bulk of the
hogs and the average brought high
err prices than were ever before paid
on this market.
No adequate explanation OF the
steady increase in hog prices since
the annulment of all government re-
strictions can be made by either the
commission men or the packers.
Many of those interested in the pro-
duction and marketing of hogs as
cribe the steadily increasing prices
to a prevalent and widespread be-
lief that a shortage of hogs exists
and will soon manifest itself on the
market. Receipts for this season
are but little below the average Of
other years, but it is pointed out
that, the prevailing high prices are
inducing hog raisers to market all
their crop before a decline begins.
Sixteen thousand hogs were recciv-
ed on the South Side market We'd
nesday.

Mother of II Children
Asks Immediate Divorce

Mrs. Margaret Wolf. mother OF
II children and a wife for 20 years,
filed suit yesterday in district court
for separation from George Wolf.
She declares that she has en-
dured the hellish conduct of the de-
PENDANT for several years but can
endure it no longer"
He has repeatedly brandished a
revolver, she says, and threatened
to kill her and members of the fam
lily. The wife says he takes pride
in terrorizing her and the children
and frequently gratifies his brutal
tendencies by placing them in abject
fear of death by threatening to kill
them"
The Wolf home is at Thirty-first
and R streets. Wolf is employed by
the Morris Packing company and
the petition states, he earns $3.50 a
month.
They were married in Omaha in
1899. Seven of their II children
are still living. The mother asks
$50 week separate maintenance.
She also asks two injunctions, one
to prevent her husband from with
drawing money in the Live Stock
National bank and the other to re-
strain him from molesting her and
their children.

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very careful
ly, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluff
fy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and few ounces will supply every
member of the family for months.

before us again. "i q
What are you going to do about
it? VIII you let one who has served
in the army of the United States tell
syouL how Uncle Sam handles that
problem? The three great essential
4 things that Uncle Sam does, namely,
first, he uses screens to keep the flies
and mosquitoes out; second, he keeps
all the surroundings very very clean
and well drained; third, a proper and
good method of destroying human
excrement, which is the "pit-type
privy' properly constructed to keep
out flies and well ventilated. This
is Uncle Sans method of reducing
the number hsr;tal patients and
decreasing the death rate in the
army. The orders are very strict
governing these matters in the army
owing to the great values they carry
along with them, for the protection
of our fighting forces. have never
| heard of case of typhoid fever, or
| a bad case of bowel disease, in the
army, which the surgeon generals
say 'the preventive method is re-

| ly it is good for people everywhere.
Some time ago the County Board

the State Board of Health passed an
ordinance requiring every dwelling

has probably been published in the
papers before, but as I go over the

that it is required by the laws of the
