Oh No! "Advertising Doesn't Pay."
Under the heading "Advertising
Doesn't Pay," Batten's Wedge prints
the following sprightly reductio ad
absudrum :
"Of course not the vast majority
of manufacturers in nearly all lines
are agreed that it doesn't pay.
"As an instance, there are twelve
hundred and fifty soap manufacturers
in the United States. The vast ma
jority of them evidently think that ad
vertising can't pay and yet we have
Proctor & Gamble, Fels, Col-gate,
Williams, Pears, Larkin, and a few
more but what are they out of
twelve hundred and fifty?
"There are thirteen hundred and
seventy-five mattress manufactur
ers and one Ostermoor.
"Four hundred biscuit and cracker
bakers. How many can you name?
Two, perhaps three?
Twenty-six hundred and forty one
brewers. Three or four are large
advertisers and it's rumored that
these are the most prosperous.
Cloak and suit manufacturers, fif
teen hundred and twenty-eight.
National Cloak and Suit Company and
one or two others think advertising
pays.
"Nineteen thousand six hundred and
eleven flour mills and you almost
have to say 'Gold Medal' when you
mean to say 'flour..
Eight hundred and fifty-four glass
manufacturers you know Macbeth.
Seven hundred and seventy-five paint
manufacturers. Natinoal Lead Com
pany, Sherwin Willaims Compnay,
Carter White Lead how many more
can you name offhand?
We could go on through the entire
list. Our point is, the vast majority
are against advertising, are opposed
to it, because they believe that it
doesn't pay and persistently overlook
the fact that in nearly all lines the
biggest, strongest, most prosperous
competitors are those who do the most
extensive advertising.
"Advertising is for the big mer
chant and big manufacturer. It will
not do much for the small man, for
the one who has to be shown. The
big man sees.
"Wanamaker, and Field, and the
Studebakers, the Procters, the Fels,
and the almost innumerable hosts of
"big" ones, were big merchants and
manufacturers even when their busi
nesses were small and advertising
played its part in the development of
these men and the business structures
that they have built. More of these
will come, are coming; many are here
and growing." The Herrick Cut

Preserving Eggs.
We preserve eggs for the same
reason we can fruit, to have an a
bundant supply in winter when eggs
are scarce. We have found that a
properly preserved egg is practically
as good for cooking as a fresh egg.
An egg will never be better than
when it goes into the preservative,
hence only eggs that absolutely fresh
clean, unwashed and sound, should
be preserved. Eggs that are soiled
in the nest or from the ground should
be used while fresh. Cracked or thin
shelled eggs are nearly certain to
spoil. the preservative and injure the
eggs.
We prefer the water glass method
of preserving eggs, use an earthen
ware, glass or wooden vessel as a
container. A six-gallon earthenware
jar will hold from twenty to twenty
four dozen eggs. Scald the vessel be
fore using.
For the water glass (soluble silicate
sodium) solution, take one part of
water glass to ten parts of boiled
water (we have used nine and eleven
parts of water to one of water glass,
and can see but little difference, if
any, in the eggs). If the water is
hot, let the mixture cool before using.
Half fill with the so-lution the jar
to be used, and put the eggs in daily
as gathered. Keep at least two in
ches of preservative above the eggs
all the time. If a white or jelly like
deposit is found upon the eggs on re
moval wash it off, it does no harm.
Do not try to use the water-glass a
second year. Wallace Farmer.
Dangers In New Food For Stock.

A LEADER
The principal of construction in the Underwood was
found first in the Underwood, and every typewriter seeking
business in the same field with the Underwood which
has been put on the market since the advent of the Under
wood, has been an imitation of, and in general appearance
like, the Underwood.
The last "Blind" advocates of importance have now
fallen into line, and there is not to-day a single "blind
writing" typewriter actively on this market. Recall all
the arguments you have heard in past years by Underwood
opposition, and you will realize what an advance agent of
progress the Underwood has been; then bear in mind that
the Underwood was the first fully "visible," has had tim
to develope and improve, and is to-day the most perfect
typewriter made.
"The Machine Yon Will Eventually Buy"
are rather deceptive,
and well flavored, and
most stock will eat such greedily and
in preference to the old, but in this
they do not show the discernment
which is characteristic of their usual
mode of giving preference to the best,
as new foods are neither so nutric
ious nor as healthful as those fully
matured and in good condition.
It has been fully proved beyond all
dispute that new hay and new oats
are very bad for the wind of horses
and hardly anymore serious charge
could be laid at their door, as an im
perfect winded horse is a nuisance.
This fact in itself should be ample to
prohibit the use of new foods for
horses, but some excuse will no doubt
be offered for their use. The supply
of old hay may have run out and none
but the new may be available. The
old may be a little off color and the
new so tempting and sweet, but the
apologies are poor so long as there is
danger of the horses suffering and it
will pay all who have none but new
hay to buy a quantity of old for pre
sent use and leave the new alone for
a while.
New hay does not harm the wind of
cattle, but it always has a greater
tendency to sour than the old. New
oats are not so good as old ones. They
fail to give such good results as old
ones and are wanting in the stability
of matured grain. This also applies
to barley and wheat.
It is known that both grain and
hay sweat a great deal while matur
ing, mere is more or less warmth in
association with this process and both
the sweating and heating, or ferment
ing, aids in maturing. They add fla
vor and this increases digestibility.
Neither hay nor grain of any de
scription ought to le used for feeding
for six weeks after being harvested.
There is a value about foods treat
ed in the way suggested that is quite
absent from newly harvested stuffs,
and no stretch of imagination is
needed to grasp the fact that only
fully matured foods can be satisfact
ory. Iowa Homestead.

To the Democrats of Nebraska
Dear Democrats: Bud Newman's
fealty to the party was never ques
tioned. The records of Platte county
will show that he never failed to cast
a ballot on election day, and that he
went early to avoid the rush, and that
he didn't have to be sent for and
urged to do his duty will be verified
by those who livedl in the same pre
cinct during the years he was a resi
dent of the county aforesaid.
Bud was a democrat. Why he was
a democrat may never be known. It
might have been because of his peculi
ar environment. Perhaps he absorbed
it from the atmosphere, perhaps the
persuasive eloquence of August Boetch
er and Judge Hensley for the city, and
Packy Doody for the suburbs brought
conviction to his distracted soul.
As to that, he never said: possibly he
didn't know . What he was, is the
important fact in discussion. Why
is of minor significance.
Under all conditions Bud Newman
stood for harmony. If he looked for
party wounds, it was that he might
heal them. If Dan. Kavanaugh
threatened to pluck the vitals from
the bosom of the chairman of the Sher
man township delegation. Bud inter
posed a quiet objection, and used his
best offices to create better instead of
a bitter, feeling between the contend
ing factions.
If he could get them to thinking
about the weather he had done some
thing, and that subject was a never-
failing source of illuminating dis
course on nis part, lie believed in
Hicks, and when it came to a direct
conflict between the evidence of his
own senses and and the predictions of
the St. Louis forecaster he rendered
his decission in favor of the prophet
whaether or no, even when to do so
it was necessary to reverse all known
rules of ratiocioation.
In some ways the World-Herald
makes me think of Bud Newman. It
is so anxious for harmony it wouldn't
print Dick Metcalfe's recent letter
pleading for a better understanding
and a more generous regard for the
verities, but writes a peace and har
mony editorial, in which it blames
Charley Wooster for its own wicked
assaults upon a party leader whose
only crime against the party is that
something less than a year ago he re
fused to take further orders from the
United Brewers' association.
Mr. Bryan reasoned wisely that
it was inconsistant for the democratic
party to wage war against "organized
greed" and continue to stand sponsor
for the most vicious example of the
same. The most of you fell no ws who
are not leaders but aspire to be. are
on the other side of that proposition.
There is a suspicion of blood in your
eyes when you mention J. Pierpont
Morgan. Magnate Weyer hauser and
Hettie Green, but when it comes to
the interests that build up Peoria and
made Milwaukee shame us, the quiet
acquiesenence in the program of the
U. S. B. A. is consoling to all ele
ments of organized greed wheresoever
dispersed.
By the action of the democrats of
Douglas county, the letter of Mike
Harrington, and the editorial in the
World-Heald of Wednesday, I judge
there is but one basis upon which the
party can harmonize and move for
ward to glorious victory. It must
frown upon the forms of organized
greed that cannot be touched with ta
ten-foot pole, and let the other fellows
alone. It must plant itself against
plutocracy and hollerlikell. Harmony
upon this broad and patriotic basis
will mean success for the party and
unmeasured power and plunder for
the patriots who have said so much and
sacrificed little to keep it alive.
Let Metcalf say that he is through
With nuinspiring fact;
And William Bryan, let him do
The disappearing act.
With Dalhman hic-ing in the lead.
And Harrington close by,
If now the party can't succeed,
Then need it never try.
The situation suits me well
Let every man stand firm
For harmony in spite of obstructions,
And watch the traitors squirm.
