office, We have a mailing list compris-
ing some sixteen thousand names of re-
tail merchants in all lines. In fact all
business institutions in the area con-
tiguous TO San Antonio, and this list is
frequently circularized with data pertain
ing TO this market. in connection with
this direct by mail advertising many of
The Wholesale and manufacturing institu-
tions of the city conduct a direct by mail
advertising campaign at stated periods
The scope of this work may be estimated
when these firms sent out in all 220,0O0
pieces of advertising matter covering a
vast variety of. commodities available in
this market.
ly, in the spring and fall, trade seasons
are conducted at which periods effort is
made TO bring to the market merchants
from throughout the territory. Lack of
space prevents discussing the activity at
any length, but it is significant to note
that out records reveal an average dis.
lance Travelled by the first merchants
coming to this market was 81 miles. The
average distance for 1924 was approx
mately 40 miles. Figures for 1925
have not been compiled but it is con-
sentative to say that there has been a
slight increase in 1925 over 1924. The
average purchase at the beginning was
SSG6; the average purchase for 1924 was
over $14O0. These figures are based on
the actual purchases made from the var
iOus Wholesale and manufacturing con-
Germs participating in the railroad re-
fund agreement.
Consequently, there is no guesswork
merchandise that may have been pur-
chased at retail.
We also have the satisfaction of know
ing from the record of freight move
Rents, that in two sections where par
Gcular effort has been made in adyertis-
ing and good will trips, very satisfactory
results have been obtained. At the be-
ginning only one package car was oper-
ated into the Rio Grande valley; today
the tonnage in package cars alone is
averaging 100 per cent greater and there
are six cars leaving San Antonio daily to
serve that territory. This volume makes
it possible for local freight shipments to
leave San Antonio tonight and reach
destination at any point in the valley
the following day, service not excelled
by any distributing center.

Of activities has been expanded.
That plan treats of the city as a big
commercial institution with products 10

Trade season activities.
Educational work in towns in our

The Salesmen's League.
Good will trips: In all, fifteen trade

74OO miles. Thirteen Of these trips
have been special train movements re-

Old Ideas ReUiUed by
Experiments in Diet

Some remarkable cases of fasting
have attracted attention lately, but
one striking experiment in diet has
met with less attention than 1t de-
serves.
This experiment was carried out by
three scientists who lived for several
months entirely on potatoes and yege-
table margarine, with slight addition
Of onion.
One of the results Of this expert
ment is that science is now beginning
to believe that there may be some
thing in the old idea that potato water
is remedy for govt. The potato does
appear to have considerable yir-
tues where this disease is concerned.
Another result is that it Is now
claimed that the diet of the peasantry
in some parts of Europe, in which
meat figures very rarely, is healthier
as well as cheaper than more elabor-
ate fare.
Sir Rowland Hill, founder of the
penny posi-, was very keen on dieting
experiments. He lived for many perl
DDS of three days each on not more
than two articles, such as boiled green
peas and salt, and damson pie and
sugar.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1926-07-08

In Germany and France, where hops
have been cultivated since the Eighth
century, and in other lands where they
have been taken for cultivation, there
is a widespread belief that insomnia
may be overcome if one will use a
pillow Of hops as a head rest at night.
The essential principle in the lupulin,
the yellowish powder on them, is used
in household remedies as sedative
and mild hypnotic, and that fact is
held up as proof that hops will help
one find restful sleep. Those who
have that belief say fresh hops Iull
one to sleep more quickly than the old
hops, but so long as the hops are in
good condition they are sleep produc-
ers, the old ones no less certainly than
the fresh picked crop.

WIT SAVES HOME

Woman, Knowing indians Weakness
for Dog Meat, Gives Them Sick One.
Topeka, Kas.-How a woman's wit
saved her home from being robbed by
Indians and turned the incident into
a profitable trade vas TOLD in the re
niniscences of L ". Roberts of Cotton.
wood Falls Mr. Roberts was one OF
the first white children born at Cedar
Point, in Chase County. His father,
Farmsworth Roberts was one of the
earliest Indian agents in Kansas, be
ing stationed by the Government at
Council Grove in 1857. In 1865 they
settled on a claim on the Cottonwood
River
It was while the men were away she
saved the home from being pillaged by
the red men. A band of fifty stopped
there in the afternoon, pitched their
tents and prepared to stay all night.
The woman had with her only the
younger children and this prevented
tight had she wanted to leave.
Soon after camp was made half
dozen of the bucks came to the house
to ask for something to eat. The wom
an knew that If she offered them food
the little stock of groceries would soon
be exhausted She also knew that If
she refused the Indians would probable
steal everything of value on the farm
and might even attempt violence.
While she parleyed with the foraging
party she saw, the family dog in the
yard. owing to the CANNES indispo
sition to exercise he was fat and the
woman, knowing well the weakness of
the Indians for dog meat, suggested
that she would trade the dog to them
for two ponies. Smacking their lips
and rubbing their stomachs they sig
nified they would like the dog for soup,
but did not want to give two ponies.
After much haggling over the terms
she finally traded the worthless dog off
Tor one of the best ponies the band
owned.
That night there was great feast
at the. camp, and the youngsters at the
Roberts home were sad eyed at the
Fate Of their pet. But for years they
rode the pony their mother secured in
exchange for him.

osson Had the Fira
Fire Engine in America

The first fire engine introduced into
America was received at Boston from
! England about PAT years ago.
1t was a strong cistern of oak
placed on wheels, furnished with
bumps, air chambers and a suction
Bipe of strong leather. In case the
suction could not be used the water
was supplied to the container by
buckets passed from hand to hand
1t required three men to work the
pump and direct the nozzle. Few I'M
provements were made in the methods
Of fighting fire until the middle of the
last century, when steam fire engines
were introduced, the first successful
one being used in Cincinnati in 1853,
and In few years most Of the larger
cities had one or more of these.
It was about this time that the
present department system of fire
fighting was introduced. But there
need be no doubt that the Boston
small boys of 1879 took as much de-
light In running after the engine as
does his modern successor only OF
course, he did not have TO run so fast
nor so far.
Cincinnati seems to have led in the
organization Of paid departments, as
IN 1853 that city had 100 firemen on
its payrolls, who each received a sal
airy of $50 per month.
