AMERICA'S BEST
ADVERTISING FAKES
EXPOSED BY LEAGUE
Vigilance Committee Lands Fakirs
in Prison
New York, March 1 2. Ingenious
use of, advertising schemes by "get-rich-quick"
men are being- run down
by the national vigilance committee
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World, which keeps a corps
of men at this work almost constant
ly. Richard II. .bee, special counsel
of the committee, who supervises the
work, tells many stories of conliden'co
men and the methods used to com
bat and convict, them.
One man, he says, formed a league,
of automobile users. The league is
sued a price list, of accessories, all
quoted less than possible for the
manufacturer to make them. When
a member ordered an article, an
other was substituted and a circular
letter explained that because of the
wrcat demand, the factory was be
hind in its orders. In some cases the
substitution was attributed to the
rareness of the object desired. The
substitute was a cheap affair, made
for the head of the league, but tho
member was satisfied, temporarily at
least, by the explanation that while
its price Was higher than that or
dered, the league would sell it to
him for the same sum.
This man built up a good reputa
tion by means of "preferred" cus
tomers, whom Air. Lee describes a's
"plants' who innocently furthered
the designs of the swindler. A group
of these men was established in each
town where the league did business.
As an illustration. Mr. Lee cites
the. case of one of the most promi
nent surgeons in an Ohio city, who
Was persuaded to join the league. He
bought a tire, which an agent ob
tained from a local dealer- at the
usual retail price, and then held un
til the proper time had elapsed for
shipment, from, headquarters. . The
doctor was delighted. In a few days
the agent dropped around to see him
and asked now. the tire was holding
up. Oh inspection the agent found
an imaginary .flaw, and insisted upon
replacing the-tire; with a new one--also
bought at the Usual retail price.
He left the supposedly defective tire,
saying that the doctor could use It
as a "spare," and refused further
payment. .
"Tf you really feel so grateful,
doctor," he said, "write the Old Man
a letter about it and tell him how you
feel."
The letter was used for advertising
purposes.
Not one, but many companies,
brought suit against the league, -without
success, for the defendant would
put his "p referred" customers, all
men of unquestioned reputation, on
the stand, and the case would be dis
missed. This man reduced letter writing to
a. science. Ho dictated a set of cir
cular letters answering: every con
ceivable .sort of question 'pertaining
to his business, indexed them and
then dismissed the greater part of
bis clerical force.
Mr. Lee told one amusing result. A
customer complained that a drip pan
was missing from a shipment. The
inexperienced girl who answered the
complaint looked up "goods'' in the
index and followed it down until she
found the word "lost." She then
sent out a circular letter saying that,
the league always took the greatest
care to see that there was no shortage
in shipments, and if . the consignee
"would shake up the excelsior in the
bottom of the box" he undoubtedly
would find the missing; object.
After a year's light the vigilance
committee obtained conviction, and
sent the head ol the league to prison.
Another man formed a-conipj-os-tensibiy
to build tractors.' using the
name Ford, for Henry Ford was at
that time contemplating marketing a.
tractof. The swindler picked up a
telephone book, ran down the list of
Fords until he found a machinist. He
called on this man and told him that
he had been highly recommended
and that he wanted him to superin
tend the r onsl ruction of the lirst ma
chine. The machinist had an easy
time at high pay for a few weeks,
dropping in on the head of the com
pany to make suggestions once in a
while. When the first tractor Was
Hearing completion tho swindler told
him that his work had been so valu
able that it had bet n decided to name
the machine for him, and got him to
sign a paper permitting this use.
When tli is paper was signed, ho soon
disappeared from the ' payroll, and
the stock selling began. The vigilance
committee also obtained the convic
tion of this man.
Another bogus company, formed in
Akron, in the heart of, the tire indus
try, sold its stock chiefly to- people in
that city, through the power of ad
vertising, although p.ny one of tho
purchasers could have ascertained
that tho claims made were untrue by
visiting the factory which was sit
uated within 20 miles. 1
Mr. Lee tells of a isiting a man, now
in prison, whom he describes as the
country's foremost swindler. He ask
ed for another "international confi
dence ?nan" who had been associated
with the first and learned that they
had ceased to correspond.
"Uid you know that he had a for
tune?" Mr. Lee asked.
"How could he, after the money I
stole from him?" was the rejoinder.
Mr. Lee still insisted and the man ex
claimed: "Can it be possible that fellow
wasn't on the level with me?"
ticibillty of obtaining meats from Ar
gentina and other markets patronized
before the war.
Figuies supplied by the. department
show the American people ate more
veal ana mutton than during the war
but the per capita .consumption of
goit meat, never hu ge, was only 0.09
pounds.
LESS MEAT EATEN
DURING PAST YEAR
High Retail Prices Caused Per Capi
ta Consumption to Fall
Eight Pounds.
AVashiiigtoii, March 12. High re
tail prices in 1919 reduced the per
capita consumption of beef in Amer
ica almost eight pounds and caused
the consumer to turit more frequent
ly to veal ami mutton, according to
a statement today by the department
of agriculture. Slightly less pork
was eaten but the total consumption
of pork pre duets was much larger
than in 1917 and the exports of pork
and lard were greater than ever
shown in the records of the depart
ment. The total meat consumption was
less than in 1918, the per capita for
191S being 150.08 and that in 1919
being 141. PS. .
lice.f exports were shown' to have
fallen off 56.8 per cent." but the ship
ments of pork and lard to foreign
ports showed a great increase. The
exports were equivalent to 18,000,000
hogs weighing 200 pounds apiece.
Less pork and lard were consumed
in America but the number of hogs
slaughtered was a 1,000,000 more
than ia 1918.
The reduction in foreign orders
was the heaviest blow received by t he
beef industry. The exports declined
56. S per cent, from the previous year.
The department attributed the fall
ing off of exports to the return of
European countries to tho cheaper
sources of supply in South America
and Australia. The decrease in for
eign orders for beef was so large as
to bring down the total meat produc
tion in America 4 per cent, lower
than the previous year when packers
were supplying a great part of the

Temperament of d'Anniinzio: Is
Fastidious as to Food.
Fiume, March 12. Innumerable
peculiarities constitute the tempera
ment of Gabriele d'Annunzio. He is
superstitious to the core and. will
never sit down to an ordinary meal
unless there are 11 'persons at the
table. He is fastidious in his choice
of foods and will drink only a special
kind of Rhine wine. His favorite
dish is "scampi," a small crab-fish
found only in the Quarnero. He was
a lover of the iish when he lived on
tho Grand -Canal in Venice.
So much did he think of the food;
that he went upon a search of all
that was written about them and has
compiled already a studious lecture
iipon tlie subject- The lush resembles
in color the American shrimp, but :3
much larger and hiis a taste milder
than lobster, approximating the crab,
but considerably more toothsome.
'IS cam pi" ia the favorite soafood in
practically all of the north Adriatic
resorts. '
Besides his partiality for "scampi,"
d'Annunzio is a lover of ice cream.
He sometimes divides a large cake of
It intended for the whole table into
two halves. He takes one entire half
himself, then gives the other half to
the remaining 10 at the table.

This Tells You How to Get
Benefit of the Best Senna
Finest Grade of Egyptian Senna Leaves used in
compounding Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
PROMINENT importers and
wholesale dealers in crude
drugs and medicinal herbs
gathered from all parts of the
world do not hesitate to say that
the market for the better grades of
medicinal herbs, roots, oils, etc.,
is practically confined to the lead
ing manufacturers of the so-called
package medicines, who buy only
the very best, and that the manu
facturers of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin are the largest users of the
best grade of Egyptian , senna
leaves in the world.
The potency of a tea brewed
from senna leaves to reliev con
stipation has long been recognized,
not only by the medical profes
sion, but by the public generally;
in fact, senna has been known and
used in medicine for more than
five centuries. The cheaper
grades of senna, such as are usu
ally sold at retail, have, however,
a tendency to gripe and cramp
which makes their juse unpqpuIaX '
with most people. ;j :.
In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
the finest Egyptian, senna is com-
bined with pepsin and other valu
able agents, essential o3s and pure
cane sugar syrup to make an ex
ceptionally valuable tonic-laxative
; for the relief of constipation and
resulting disturbances of the
stomach and bowels. The com
plete formula is plainly printed in
English, French, and Spanish on
every package. Thousands who
formerly bought an inferior grade
of senna leaves now use Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin instead. It
is sold in drug stores everywhere.
In spite of the fact that Dr. Cold,
well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest seiling
liquid laxative in the world, there
being over 6 million bottles sold each
year, many who need its benefits have
not yet used it. If you have not, send
your name and address for a free trial
bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, sit
