big thought into the fewest possible
words.
The literary man has a name for
these examples of condensed wisdom.
He calls them "epigrams."
"Epigram" is an interesting word.
You can spend a useful fifteen min
utes studying out in some good die
tionary Just what it meant In the
original Greek and how it came to
have an entirely different meaning
In English.
One Of the most condensed and
meaningful phrases have ever seen
written or heard spoken was used by
a great editorial writer who boiled
down a whole sermon into three words
when he said Repetition is reputa-
tion." That is sound, unassailable
truth in the fewest possible words.
Alongside that condensation Of wis
dom have fled away In my memory
the three-word statement that I heard
an advertising solicitor use the other
day In convincing prospective buyer

the best possible investment that he
could make.
These were the three words he used :
'Telling is selling"
That comes pretty near reducing the
statement Of what advertising is to the
fewesf possible words and stating it
in the simplest possible way.
To greater or less degree every
human being is an advertiser.
The man or woman who dresses well
advertises prosperity.
The man or woman who uses the
proper words in the proper places and
shows a broad acquaintance with facts
advertises education.
The man with the light step, quick
movement, unceasing activity, adver-
tises energy. probably ambition.
You say Il am good judge of hu,
man nature" That is only another
way of stating that you are an accu.
rate reader of theSpersonal advertising
Of individuals.
Every day we unconsciously tell
ourselves advertise ourselves-by oul
actions, By our habits. by our CONVEX
sation. Everyday we unknowingly
succeed in or fail in "selIing" our
selves.

If telling Is selling" 1t Is equally
true that "overtelling is underselling. !"
Nobody ever permanently gained
anything by wandering from the truth.
Boosting is only polite name for
lying.
Any buyer Of men or merchandise
would rather be surprised by finding
his purchase better than he thought It
was than to discover that it failed to
come up to what he had reasonable
right to expect.
If you have occasion to talk about
yourself tell just what you are.
If you find 1t necessary to sell your
self do not bargain for more than you
can deliver.
Telling is selling" but the telling
must be the truth and the selling
must be on the basis Of turning over
just what you have agreed to-of hav-
ing the goods test 100 per cent of
what they were represented to be,

Rent collecting is not a mere turn

the demand for the rent. 1t is to the
interest Of the landlord that the

r FITTED bodily from the Rus
IL sian where the term means

''mensheviki" or conservative
element, "Bolsheviki" has been
imported into America together
with many of the false and un-s

Originally the term was anal
agous to and had no more sin
lister meaning than radical" as
used in connection with British
politics. A Bolshevik was one
who opposed the conservatives
not necessarily an advocate of
arson and bloodshed, but a per-
son who believed In a progress
sive policy instead of following
a reactionary course. Until
the overthrow of the Ro-
manoff dynasty, the Bolshe-
Wiki did not number anarchists
and nihilists in their ranks.

PHYSICIANS
ISSUE LETTER
OBJECT TO STATEMENT OF
\ CHIROPRACTORS THAT
CHILD is WELL

A committee of three local physi-
clans. and surgeons, representing the
Marathon County Medical society have
forwarded the following letter, rela-
tive to the case of Miriam Rubin, Wan.
kegan, ILL.,, which has been given so
much metropolitan newspaper atten-
ton, to The Pilot, asking that it be
published. The letter follows:
THE Marathon County Medical So
ciety feels that the people should know
the facts of the case of Miriam Rubin,
Waukegan, ILL.,, widely advertised as
a Ghiropractic cure.
Through committe of the Ameri
can Medical association We have been
informed that this child was taken i'll
on February 5th, when she began talk
ing rapidly and almost continually.
On February 6, the family physician
was called. On February 18th, the
child, through the influence of So
called friends, was given treat
ment" by chiropractor. The child
received the last chiropractic treat
ment" on February 23rd. According
ITO the family physician and the pa
TENTS father, they had had no appre-
cable effect upon the disease after
tent complained greatly of pain in
the back.
mot only did the newspapers make
sensational stories out oft his case,
but the chiropractors have used it as
a basis Tor flaming advertisements ex-
tolling the virtues of their cult
What are the facts? Through the
American Medical association, which
a II nh iosa 80 .,x -
the case, we have learned that the
child did not suffer from so-called
talking sickness, that the alleged ad-
justment of the spine did not cure the
child, and that the child has not COM
pletely recovered but is still danger
ously i'll on March /, 1921 while the
chiropractor was discharged February
%, iceland the case advertised as
completely cured. The case was one
of epidimic encephalitis or infamma
ton of the brain tissue. The improve
men was gradual as is usually the
case in this disease. The chiropractic
treatment did not modify the course
of the disease. Talking had ceased at
intervals previous to his visits and
continued at intervals afterwards. The
nurseS'S record shows that the Chiro-
practic treatments" were given from
February 18th to February 23rd, at
which time he was dismissed as the
patients condition gave no evidence
of benefit from his treatments
ION the contrary she was complain
ing of severe pain along the course
of the spine. Since February 23rd

Dry Forces Brought in $4,000.

About 325 arrests for violations OF
the state Prohibition law were made
during the last year, according TO
Deputy Commissioners Ben &. Parkin-
son. OF this number 200 were con-
victed and 100 cases are pending.
Fines from the entire number arrest
ed and convicted will amount to S60.-
600, of which S37 900 has already been
collected. Federal authorities have
sent about twenty-five persons TO fed
eral prisons, fined few over 100 md
have go cases pending as a result of
their years work, according to Fed
eral District Attorney A. G. Wolfe.

state operates, provides for only the
commissioner and three deputies"
said Parkinson. "When the time
comes that every county and city at
torney and police official is auto

far more effective enforcement of the
law" From the statistics compiled it
is evident that moonshining and boot

pared with the previous year. Fed

State to Draw Higher Interest Rate.

Interest rates on the moneys de-
posted in state banks by the state
treasurer were raised from 21a to 3
per cent by the board of deposits. All
money collected by the state is dis
tributed in approved banks scattered
all over the state and this will now
mean that these banks will pay the
state 3 per cent interest instead of the
2h formerly charged. State Treas
urer Henry Johnson estimated that
this will bring the state an additional
$4,000 annually. Only banks that
loan money at the lowest rates of in
terest will be given the custody of
state funds if the state treasurer fol-
lows the resolution passed by the
board of deposits The board feels
that banks charging the people of the
state high rates of interest should
not be entrusted with the state funds
TO loan at those rates. The resolu-
ton expressing this opinion was, BE
it resolved, that ii is the policy of the
board to distribute public funds
throughout the state, preferring as
repositories banks charging their Gus
toners the lowest rates of interest !;
and that the rate of interest on pub

that until the rate OF interest is nor
