DISCRIMINATION IN SELECT
ING FOODS.

Every thoughtful housewife has
long since learned the adyisibility
Of purchasing only standard goods
Of established merit.
She knows, for instance, that aH
advertised food products Of ma
tional distribution must of neces-
sity conform to pure food laws, not
only those Of her own State, bur
also must be in conformity with
the Federal Food Laws.
In short, the label required by
pure food laws has prevented
fraudulent substitution and the
use of unwholesome material, due
to the fact that the intelligent
American housewife reads the
label.
Unfortunately, however, there
are some food products now on the
market in various sections of the
country to which our protective
labelling laws have not sufficiently
applied, and in such cases the
housewife is naturally left in the
dark Take For instance SO-eallaH

is remarkable, too. that so realisti-
cally has the situation been
worked out that there is not even
the slightest suggestion that this
truly sensational bit has been
dragged in by the heels'' to
pander to tastes which are low or
depraved.
Another exciting incident of the
picture, entirely different in it's
nature shows the escape Of the
principals from the clutches of
those who would detain them A
regulation automobile supply
truck, driven at break-neck speed,
crashes through rough and un-
broken fields, across little streams,
and through gulleys and bitches,
only short distance in advance
of powerful military touring car,
which finally gives up the ghost
when it finds the going too hard.
What the little machine accomp-
fishes is wonderful, and the situa-
tion is one that makes for progress
sive and spontaneous cheering on
the part of any audience before
which the picture is shown.

Is YOUR MIND YOUR owN9

We often hear people make the
remark, "I have q mind Of my
own. !"
Literally speaking, yes. But
otherwise no.
We can demonstrate the trlth
Of the latter statement by refer
ing to your own actions, by the
actions Of your friends and neigh
bors, by the actions Of the public
in general.
We contend that no man has .
mind wholly and absolutely hia
own in the generally accepted
sense Of the word. No man forms
his own conclusions entirely from
his own observations and re6ec-
tions although manly sincerely be-
lieve they do.
Ono simple illustration II
enough to prove the CORRECTNESS
Of our contention.
Mr.. Nameless Is one Of our cit
izens who "has q mind Of his
own" At least he says he has.
and really believes what he says
He walks along onr streets day
by day. Glaring defects in our
municipal system stare him in. ths
face. He sees them motor see-
ing them. fails to heed them. His
mind is not concerned.
Another citizen comes along,
points them out, starts an agita-
tion that grows, and Mr.. Name
less Immediately comes to lite
and. joins the throng with lusty
shouts for Improvement latter the
other fellow has done the work.
The mind Of Mr.. Nameless il
inst like the minds Of nearly ev-
ery human being-it can be
swayed by other minds, just as
readily as the work Of his mind
can influence the minds Of others
A mind that is worth having -
always susceptible to change, to
conviction, to revision superin-
duced by the wisdom emanating
from other minds.
"A mind that is wholly its own
Il no mind at all-it's an affLic-
tion. Mansfield Enterprise.

MERCHANTS AND ADVER-
TISING.

During the past ten years Z.
great many small towns have been
on the down grade, from COM
mercial standpoint, owing to the
inrcads made on their business in
terests by the large 'cities, the
mail order houses. farmers union
and other forms Of outside COM
petition. Many a country mer-
chant blames the automobile for
taking his business away from
him but it is quite likely the auto
mobile could be made to bring
trade to him as readily as it is
made to take it elsewhere. The
fact. is that the country merchant,
like most of us, will blame every
body and everything for his con-
dition before he will begin to lay
the fault to himself.
There is store in city Of less
than / 200 inhabitants, in the state
Of Ohio, which in the year 1916
sold over 100000 worth Of mer-
chandise. 1t is the biggest coun-
try store in the United States and
it has made its town one OF the
most important trading points in
the state of Ohio Yet that town
has no better surrounding trade
territory than any other town OF
200. It was done simply by
modern merchandising and adver-
tising.
The merchant in the country
town has as good chance to sell
merchandise as anyone in the
world if he will only sell it; but
La great many country merchants
have allowed modern methods to
leave them away in the rear OF
the progress parade and have laid
down and let some one else do the
selling. In this connection it is
safe to say that in the trade terri
tory Of nearly every small town,
outside competition is doing more
advertising twice over. than the
local, merpha 7 he only way
| the cpaa,t TOWN ean successfully

only remedy for town that is
going down hill is modern mer'
chandising, and scientific, systes

science applied to the buying and
lselling Of goods. Advertising is the
same thing except that it has to
do only with the selling -adver'
tising is printed salesmanship.

HOUSE SEEKS MEN HIGHER
UP, GUILTY OF SOLDIER
ABUSE.

Washington, July 24.-Effort to
fix responsibility Of superior Off
GERS for maltreatment Of Ameri-
can military prisoners in deten-
ton camps and jails in and near
Paris will be made by House
war investigating committee next
week. Chairman johnson an
nounced tonight that former Ser
geant Clarence Ball, who is serv-
ing a six months sentence at Fort
Jay, N. Y. for mistreating priso-
ners while he was a guard at one
of the camps, would appear be-
fore the committee Monday.
Beat the prisoners or be beat
en- yourself" is the choice that
Ball says was given him by super
ior officers, according to letter
written by Ball to Representative
Ballinger Of Massachusetts, who
turned it over to the committee.
At prison farm No. 2 Ball was
an assistant Of Lieutenant. Hard
Boiled" Smith, who is also in prl-
son for maltreatment Of soldiers.
Balls letter asserts that he and
other guards did their "best not
| to misuse the prisoners, and it did
not suit Smith. "
81 admit that hit prisoners, :
wrote Ball. but the former SER
geant said, IT could tell you more
if / could only talk to you."
Other witnesses will also be
| called by Johnson's committee IN
the inquiry, the chairman an
nouncing that every effort would
be made to fix ultimate RESPONSE
bility.
Further charges Of cruelty were
! made in a, letter presented today
BY Senator Harding, and referred
to the Senate military committee
for consideration in connection
with the bill of Senator Chamber
flain, Democrat, Oregon, proposing
/ IA tim of al military SEN
ffenees for orfences not felonies un-
| der the federal statutes.
The letter was from Frank
Woods Of Youngstown, O., who
was dishonorably discharged
from the army after having ten
/ months Of "a three-year sentence
Iserved.
/ Woods declared that he saw
Lieutenant Disjordaa, q prison OF
ficer, knock down prisoners with
a blackjack.
"I also saw Lieutenant Colonel
! Maultake a prisoner out. hahdcuff
and shackle his feet, gag him and
spread the eagle with him because
he tried to get letter to his peo-
pie telling them Of the treatment
he received at the prison camp,
said Woods. adding that he him
self got twenty days solitary con-
finement on bread and water fo1
attempting to advise his relatives
Of his sentence.
Prisoners fell down from starva.
ton, Woods declared, and were
glad to get bread from Chinese
laborers.

Rnard duty at one camp. issued
blackjacks to his men and ordered
