STORE ADVERTISING.

Retail stores are doing busi- ness today on a smaller margin of profit than ever. The higher range of prices prevailing since the war has stimulated com petition and has forced retail trace to remodel its system of operation and to make every possible improvement and economy in it's methods. As a result the stores are saving margin for the public through improved distribution methods.
 Live merchants today are aI- so putting more brains in their work They get better expert advice they understand mark cts better, they train their en- ployees to render better serv- ice.
 Live dealers know that these facts will not become known unless they are given proper publicity; know also that the best way to make people realize the quality of the ser vice they are giving is to con- sistently advertise their stores and wares.
 Not even those of our local merchants who do not adver- tiSe at all-and there are a number, by the way-can consistently deny that the pub lie reads newspaper advertise ments and takes advantage of such bargains and savings as appear. And if they do deny there is benefit in advertising, they can speedily prove the falsity of their argument by the simple process of adver- Using some popular commodi- ty at reduced price. Then they will speedily learn that the advertised store is the store that is most appreciated by the buying public.

DEATH TO THE FLY.

If there is no breeding place for flies there will be no flies. The almost total disappear ance of stables from cities has removed a prolific source of fly propagation. But not all the spots which assist the fly in preserving his species were in the vicinity of stables. Where there is filth there will be flies and where flies go there will some of the filth ac- company them.
 Time was when flies were endured as an inevitable an- noyance without an appreci-
Hyder weekly herald., 1927-07-30

| ation of the menace to health their presence is. They swarm ed because no effort was made to eradicate them. That era is past but there are those still who tolerate conditions which in effect are not inimical to the interests of the fly. House occupants cannot prevent flies from seeking entrance but ev- eryone can keep them on the outside. Also it is within the province of all to refuse to purchase food products which are accessible to flies.
 Were everyone to eliminate breeding places on his own premises and to screen and swat, the fly soon would be- come as completely extinct ae the monsters of which We know only through their fossil remains. The fly is small but he makes up in industry and persistence what he lacks in size. We become alarmed when an epidemic threatens, yet too many of us tolerate the fly when we know his capacity as a disease carrier. Because he is no novelty we minimize the peril which he may transmit.
 So we repeat again to our readers: Swat the fly"
