The Right Thing

Stand Up for Your Rights
Soma persons bare such a fear of mat
in* themselves disliked or of causing
others to think that they are not liberal
that they will permit themselves to be
Imposed upon and really held up by
tradespeople, tail drivers and a dozen
and one people with whom they come in
contact In the course of the day.
Yet It is not because of actual lib
erality that they consent to being thus
robbed.
The chances are that In their own busi
ness they are as careful to conserve every
penny as any one else.
There is a sort of meekness that comes
frqm lack of self-confidence.
Tbe other day a woman who has plenty
of ynoney stopped at a drug store to get
a •drink of charged water. She was
thftety and this was a natural thing
to do.
Sfce had done this before when thirsty
and as she knew that the carbonated
waiter that was drawn from the soda
water fountain could not cost more than
a fraction of a cent for a glass, she was
surprised when the soda fountain at
tendant told her it would cost 10 cents.
"I have never paid but 5 cents.” she
said. “Will you make sure that that is
your regular charge?”
The owner of the drug store overheard
her and assured the woman that she was
in the right. There was no unpleasant
ness.
If the woman had paid the 10 cents,
feeling as she did that It was not the

It la quite an art to be able to make
a complaint without being disagreeable
abont It.
Still every en# who pays for anything
has a right to mako complaints If he

And you will usually find that It Is

are not afraid to make complaints when

LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
—And What They Moan—
Did you dream of wild borrt
A wild boar seen in a dream Is emble
matic of a remorseless enemy well fur
nished with the means of offense and de
sense.
But it by no means Implies that you
will suffer at mystics la that all dreams
of wild animals signify the protection
and favor of persons of power and dis
tinction.
The dream, however, would seem to be
a warning to be on ypur guard against
the enemy typified by the wild boar and
some of the oracles say that you must
expect much contention and quarreling.
If any one dreams that he pursues and
kills, or captures, a wild boar, he may

Likewise should one dream that he Is
presented with the head of a wild boar
It Is a prophecy that he will completely
vanquish his enemy and frustrate his
plans for evil.
Should the dreamer have a lawsuit on
hand at the time of his dream, the kill
ing, or driving away of the boar is a
Elgn that .the suit will be jiecided in his
favor, and being presented with the
boar’s head has the same signification. It
may be that If the dreamer has no law
suit on hand now he will soon be en
gaged In one which will vex and worry
him greatly.
What applies to any present suit he
may have also applied to any which he
may have iu the Immediate future. —

BANK AT QUITO CLOSED.
QUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, June 9.—The
Bank of South America at Quito has
been forced to close, after a panic and
heavy withdrawal of deposits. The bank
applied for permission to issue treasury
bills, and the banking commissioner
found it did not have its claimed gold
reserve.

—look for the name California on the

Pull directions on each bottle. You must

“Pep” and Polk’s
“Pep”—everybody wants it.
That bubbling effervescence —that “never-say
die” feeling—that indomitable urge to do.
Pick out the “peppiest of your
friends and ask him bow he got that way. Per
haps be doesn’t know, 1 but it’s dollars to dough
nuts he’s an eater of simple, solid food —and
milk is a prominent part of his daily diet.
If you want “pep” and life and
strength, get on the milk wagon. Get on the
outside of a quart of milk each day, and watch
the germ of ambition grow.
Children drink milk regularly
and are always full of energy. They play and
romp and do their little household tasks and
still have energy to spare.
It isn’t milk alone that works
the miracle—this is the secret—the children
haven’t the chance to spoil their normal,
healthy appetites by eating highly seasoned
foods. Mother won’t let them. She gives them
plenty of milk, bread and other simple foods
because she knows that’s the best way to give
them a chance to grow.
® Give yourself a chance —milk helps
make rich blood and renews wornout tissue. Try a
quart a day for at least a month, and notice the differ
ence in your health and in the cost of your meals.
Milk is the cheapest of all foods. Order a quart before

Are There Big Profits in
the Telephone Business?
Not in twenty-five years have the operations
of the Bell Company in Indiana returned a
dividend to the owners of the property.
This company has not been marked by
frenzied finance. On the contrary, there is
not a drop of so-called water in our capitali
zation.
Because the company is big, many people
think it has made “all sorts of money” and
is still making it.
The fact is—as the published records show
—that dividends have always given way to
good plant maintenance, the accumulation of
all reserves against depreciation and common
sense stability of the business.
That’s What Good Service
Depends on!
At the present time these essential elements
are facing serious danger. There are not
revenues enough to meet our necessities. And
unless adequate rates are forthcoming, and
quickly, the outcome is obvious—a service
dangerously impaired and a property which
because of the uncertainty of returns, will not
attract new capital for improvements and ex
tensions.

Those of You
Who Attended the
General Session of

Will Not Soon
Forget the
Straightforward,
Sensible, Practical
and Human Talk
.Made by
E. G. WEIR,
Adver. Mgr.
The Beckwith Cos.,
Dowagiac, Michigan
What Mr. Weir said about
reacting the “feeling mind,”
which means getting “heart”
and "comfort” response to ad
vertising rather than making an
appeal to the “reasoning mind”
applies the situation
of the
Evening Mail
New York City
which has increased Its price
from 2 cents to 3 cents, starting
yesterday.
People who read the Mail and
have done so regularly, satisfac
torily and pleasurably for a
great many years are not going
to be influenced by the price of
the paper.
Their “heart" is with the
paper; they get “comfort”
from reading it; they look upon
It as a daily “pal.”
Price? Fudge! That does not
enter into it at all.
The readers say; “We want
OUR paper; we like it; it fills
the need in our family circle;
we trust it; it serves us; it is
part of our daily life.”
Advertisers, local and general,
so long as they are permitted to
to buy space on a Just basis, will
continue to advertise in it reg
ularly and profitably as before.
A few thousand more or less
circulation will cut no figure at
all with them.
They believe the Mail always
intends to play on the level with
them as well as with its readers
—and that is enough. t
Now, Henry L, Stoddard, edi
tor of the Mail and president of
the company, sees the necessity
of adjusting receipts from cir
culation and advertising on a
basis that will return him a fair
net profit for producing a good
newspaper.
Mr. Stoddard is absolutely
sound in his premises when he
takes the position that the in
creased cost of producing his
paper shall be divided fairly be
tween readers and advertisers.
I don’t believe the circulation
of the Mail three months hence
will be any less than what it was
last Saturday, for instance, when
it printed and sold over 200,000
copies at 2 cents.
. lam sure that there are 200,-
000 or more families in New
York that will be glad to pay 3
cents a copy for the Evening
Mail. Yes, I am Bure, if the ne
cessity arises, they will pay 5
cents the copy.
(As I dictated the above para
graph to the young woman sten
ographer in the Claypool Hotel,
she said, "I would pay a nickel
for the Tribune rather than go
without it.”)
✓
I think what this your** lady
said expresses the general attt
tude of people toward the paper
they like; they will have it at
any price.
The great strength of the
Evening Mail is that people do
like it very much —and this
means that it will always have
a good, solid, substantial circu
lation which will justify adver
tisers in using its columns.
And the bully part of it all is
that Mr. Stoddard insists on
playing square with advertisers,
which is a message I want you to
carry home with you and think
it over.
Yours sincerely,
William C. Freeman,
125 Riverside Drive, New York
City.
