There is no branch of the mer chant’s work where the temptation to slight is greater than in advertis ing. Too often the execution of the contract for space seems to exhaust the energy of both the advertiser and the publisher. The latter is more anxious to secure the business than to see that the ad. writing is carried out in a manner to make it of the greatest possible value. The mer chant fails to appreciate the fact that the beginning of the advertisement’s work means the beginning of a ssyte- matic co-operetion on bis part to make it profitable. The details of advertising can never be neglected with impunity. The matter to be treated from week to week must be carefully selected, using only that which is most likely to interest. The merchant never thinks of letting other branches of bis business run themselves. He sees to it that every duty is thoroughly done at the proper time. The rule must be extended to the advertising department. Japan’s first statue in memory of a woman was unveiled recently as Sbijo-Xawate. near Kioto. Fortune Favor* u Texan. “Having distressing pains in head, back and stomach, and being without appetite, I began to use Dr. King's New Life Pills,’’ writes W. P.
