1t is for this reason and the

persons in whom it has not

called carriers" Those who
have not had the disease are

X. C. Paul in his excellent book,
The Carrier Problem" holds en-

Contact carriers do not usually
remain dangerous for more than

They are responsible for the

Convalescent carriers are the

Opinions on the method OF pro-

Flexner was unable to demon.

servers have found the virus still

Most authorities believe that the
virus lives in the back of the
throat and occasionally in the
tonsils of the human subject.
Very few people are susceptible
to this disease. Herman esti-
mates the number at less than 2
per cent and suggests that most
people have developed in their
mucous membranes a protective
action against the infection, or
else are born with it. The wash

and throat of healthy man have
been shown to kill the virus, and

Two SIDES

There are two sides to every question. This is just as
true in advertising as in an argument. In advertising there
is the side of the advertiser and the side of the public.
From the viewpoint of the advertiser in the newspaper,
advertising is a means OF increasing his volume of business.
Commercial development has made advertising as necessary to
retail business as customers. Without customers the advertiser
could not remain in business, so he advertses to attract Gus
TONER'S. .t@H- a& sshss
The other side of the question is that of the public. To the
public newspaper advertising means the bringing of the store
show cases to the office and living room. 1t is a service ex-
tended to the public by the advertiser, because it aids the Gus
toner in ascertaining where that which is wanted can be pur-
chased at the most advantageous price. Newspaper advertising
has abolished shop-searching. To save time for the shopper
lengthens his day.
So although there are two sides to newspaper advertising,
there is no disagreement between the two. Finding that adver-
Using serves the public as well as business the merchant has
two reasons instead of one for advertising, and the customer
learns that the most progressive merchants are the most ex-
tensive advertisers, so there is a double attraction By the
nature of business, if advertising didn't help the buying public
it could not help the advertiser.
