Once in a while, says the Barber’s Journal, we get a letter asking us with brutal frankness if advertising pays. With equal bluntness we reply “it does." Advertising has made the Vietrola dog famous. The foremost colored man in the world is Mr. Cream O. Wheat. Advertising did it. Adver-. tising has made the signature of l Thomas A. Edison an image stamped on nearly every brain and has run a shoestring watch business into the biggest merchandising institution in the world.

and ingrown toe nails. Advertising has helped you buy clothes and has brought fame te Messrs. Atterbury, Kuppenheimer. Hart, Schaffner & Marx, old man Styleplus and a few more Irishmen by the name of Rogers. Peet and Hickey Freeman. If you write an or3er you will doubtless use an Eversharp, Eagle, Dixon or Faber pencil or if you use a pen it wiU be a Waterman, Conklin or Moore and the chances are ten to one you will be writing on Hammermill bond. Therefore, with polite bluntness, we reply to the question “does advertising pay?” with the statement “It does.” The house in the Indiana assembly passed a bonus bill yesterday, immediately adjourned and the senate of course got out of it by saying there was no use to consider the bill because no action could be complet3d. The house members knew there was no chance when they passed it and only handed out a little more "bunk” to the boys. They have been fed on that now for three years and t don’t go. It would have been better if the leaders had told the soldiers that they could not consider the bill at this time than to have treated them like they were “dummies.” If we had thirty thousand cases of small pox or diphtheria in Indiana it would be a matter of common knowledge and would be announced in every newspaper. We have that many cases of tuberculosis in this state all the time but it attracts only passing notice. The white plague takes more lives than contagious diseases. over 3,000 dying in the state last year. The money used from the sale of Christmas seals is used to

fight it. Every penny you spend is a penny sent on an errand of real mercy. Do it gladly, willingly and liberally. You will help to save the lives of some ones dear ones if you do. The people of Indiana will breathe easier over the fact that the governor managed to get the business concerning the reformatory finished with rapidity and sent the boys home in one day. The special session of the legislature lasted fifteen hours and cost ten thousand dollars, pretty expensive mistake wasn't it? Well you have about one week to do your Christmas shopping and there is MJttch to be done yet. •* ; • — i — ■ -— ' W. R. C. NOTICE There will be a regular meeting of the W. R.

IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. E. K. Kilbourne’s Machine Strikes Miss Sophia Meyer at Fort Wayne HER DEATH FOLLOWS Investigation Conducted Today by Coroner Roths-child-Finding Not Given.

Mrs. E. H. Kilbourne, whose home is 1n this etty, being a daughter of Mrs. U. DMninger, in driving her automobile on Tuesday evening, struck an age lady. Miss Sophia Meyer, inflicting injuries which resulted in her death yesterday. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette this morning, says of the accident aud death ot Miss Meyer. “Following the death of Miss Sopliia Meyer, 74, living at 1209 Swinney avenue, at St. Joseph's hospital yesterday afternoon, Coroner Charted J. Rothschild announced last night that an investigation of the accident Which caused the death of the aged Woman would be held at 9 o’clock this morning. "Miss Meyer, according to all reports available, was struck at a street intersection on Wilt street by an automobile driven by Mrs. E. H. Kilbourne. 1117 Nelson street.about 7:30 O’clock Monday night. No report of the accident is to be found in the police files, however. “At the hospital, where Miss Meyer was brought for treatment at the time of the accident, it was not thought at first that the injuries would prove serious, a broken right leg and a slight bruise on the bead being the only injuries caused in the accident. Neither of these, in the opinion of the nurses who attended the case, would have proven fatal. “Physicians in attendance yesterday declared that the victim was suffering from chronic heart infections which, because of the shock of the accident, caused her to go into a state of coma from which she never recovered. “According to the story of the accident, as told at the hospital by Mrs. Kilbourne. Miss Meyer was crossing Wilt street when struck by the machine. The victim had her head wrapped in a heavy cloak, it was declared, which prevented her from hearing the signals of the automobile.” A telephone message to Ft. Wayne this afternoon brought the information that Coroner Rothschild was still conducting the investigation, and that no decision had been announced. MRS. FOUGHTY PASSES AWAY (Continued from page one) the gospel throughout her entire life.

J. Miner and D. M. Lyons officiating. Interment will be at the Decatur cemetery.

LAST SHOWING TONIGHT. One million dollars in real money is what it cost to produce the epochal Him "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," Vicente Blasco Ibanez’ great novel, which is to be shown for the last time at the Crystal theatre tonight Five hundred thousand feet of film were “shot" to produce about twelve thousand of tho reels actually exhibited. Twelve thousand people were employed in ihe making of the scenes. Fifty actors, each an artist, make up the remarkable cast. On one occasion the huge fifty-five acre studio at Ixjb Angeles, during the creation of the colossal picture play, there were in action at one time, in addition to the major and minor characters, twentytwo camera man. and twenty technical directors at work with liasion established over the vast field by a telephone system like that of an army in battle maneuvers, all under the direction ot one man, Hex Ingram. The building of a single set piece, the famous castle on the Marne, cost $82,00(1 a monumental work of art created by months of labor, only to be destroyed in a day. These, in brief, are some of the material facts concerning the latest and maybe the greateat picture production of modern times.
