HELP FOR THE CITY.

IF h.re was feeling al FIRST at City hall that the Con-
/ solidated CIVIC committee was nothing more than an
organized attempt to interfere with the functions Of the city

That IS, it probably has disappeared from the minds OF
those officials Of The city who have been making sincere
effort 10 do their full duty by the public And among
those who fall under that classification Mayor Conway
The Consolidated committee has barely got started but
has made that start in such way as TO indicate that its
real purpose j, 10 aid The municipal authorizes, and neither
un their functions nor interfere with The way these tunc-
lions are carried out ~.
n the circumstances the people at City hall should mol
feel at all beneath their dignity to avail themselves OF The
assistance which the committee has 50 freely profered
is apparent that before very long the committee will be IN
possession Of mass Of information about health and SAM
ay conditions in this city which the city has never been
able to acquire. largely because there was no one in the
employ Of he CITY who had the time to devote to such mat,
te. To all Of This the city officials will have free access
at any tme and they should avail themselves Of the pn-
lege
used in many cities. Bureaus Of municipal research which
reach INTO many varieties Of municipal activities and are
maintained by private subscription purely out of CIVIC pnds
are feature Of some Of the best cites the country, and
really efficient city officials are Away; glad to have their
assistance.

Advertising Decreases
the Cost Of Selling

II 1t were not cheaper to create interest, desire
and demand for their products-which means
eventually TO SELL THEM-by the use Of ad-
yertising, Post Toasties, Coco-Cola. Ivory Soap,
victrola and thousands Of others would not
spend their money year after year for space in
magazines and newspapers.
Advertising, after ALL is simply salesmanship
on paper. II is the same selling argument one
would hear in the store, but 1t is more compell-
Ing, more persuasive. more convincing, because
it is boiled down to the essential fine point Of
truthfulness and interest
Advertising long ago proved to be the cheapest
salesman And it determines lower prices on the
big and little, occasional and everyday things
which you and we and everybody else buys.
Advertising makes lower prices possible by in
creasing the demand for the advertised product
BY creating a larger volume VI sales, and conse-
qunetly reducing the selling cost per individual
sale.
Advertising is the collective salesman" which
does the work of dozens, hundreds or thousands
Of personal statesmen"
We advertise in the newspapers because it is
cheaper in such manner to tell you about the
things we sell than it would be to ring your door
bell. We advertise because it enables larger
volume Of sales and lower expense to US per
individual sale. We advertise because it is the
modern, progressive. misunderstanding plan and
our carefully kept records show that We sell at
lower prices because we do advertise than would
he possible IF WE DID NOT ADVERTISE.

Fried foods are harder to digest shan tnose
cooked in other ways. Fats and oils offer the
greatest resistance to digestion. Boiled meats
are more easily digested. more so than broiled
or roasted.
Most fruits are healthful, but II certain Of
them disagree With one they should be avoided
and others eaten instead.
Scientific tests have indicated that the juice
OF oranges is the most easily sssimilated Of al
foods.
It generally accepted nowadays that the best
treatment for weakened stomach Is to provide
generous diet, but that doesn't mean to stun
and orereat To stare the body because one
may be suffering is not wise, because the body
then reflects the loss Of strength that q proper
diet would give.
Don't forget that there's plenty Of common
sense behind the admonition we've all heard
since we were children: 'chev your food wei. :
Thoroughly masticated food is more easily and
quickly disested and, hence, is more beneficial
to the body.
It never fails to do good to drink a half slan
Of hot water. Just as hot as you can tateit about
half an hour before eating breakfast
