"A canvas of the business situation In
IMa city wa made bjr this club on the
request of the Ad club this week. About
twenty of the largest houses In each of
the different lines, bring to light the
fact that business is fully ss good. If not
better, than last year. Wholesale groc
ers report a 10 to 20 per cent Increase,
with collections good. Wholesale drug
houses report practically the same busi
ness as last year, but less money taken
In. The valoiis wholesale hardware
houses claim as good and up to 20 per
cent Increase over the previous year.
Business of wholesale and retail jewelry
houses Is reported In some Cases slight
tiecreaae and In others an Increase,
amounting In one Instance to 14 per cent.
Department stores, as general rule,
report abont the same business as laat
rear, some of the houses showing a
mall decrease and others a alight In-'
crease. Many of the storea report en-'
largment of the various departments.
Another significant fact la that most of
the retail houses report an Increase In
mounts spent for advertising. All the
statements volunteered were very op
timistic, especially among thee retailers,
and as one house expressed It, with the
exception of November, we have had the
biggest six months' business we have
evar had.
"These reports are being gathered by
the Ad clubs from all over the country
and results will be made known to the
pupbllo by the executive committee of
the Associated Ad Clubs of the World
at their meeting In Chlcagj thla week."

Clure. When quite small we heard Homoepathy discussed, and being curious, we asked the kindly, doctor wherein
the new school differed from the old. He said they believed in treatment of disease as indicated at the head of this ad.
He would not explain the meaning but left us to find out for ourselves, and we had quite a joK for, our home' was in
a little village, where books were scarce for there were.no Carnegie libraries in those days indeed the Laird
