Then why should retailers expect attention for the commonplaces, repe titions, exaggerations, misstatements and hashed over facts so, often presented as advertising? Imagine a store employing 3,000 people, mainly " young and in their prime, who concentrate their thought and effort on these thingsj The selection, creation, and adaptation of new and becoming styles in wearing apparel The economical production of these styles in the most attractive and serviceable materials and by the best workmanship-- The distribution of this apparel among men, women and children, by the most satisfactory and efficient methods. The doings of this great organization can fairly be called news. In printing this news as its advertising this store is doing a real service to the community which it serves. And, as might have been expected, has met with success proportionate to the service rendered';.;- Any retail store can do the same thing. The instructions are these: Choose a merchandise field you are cap- able of covering. Then cover it Know all there is to know about your branch of business.' Have enough of the right goods at the right prices at the right time. Tell the people about these goods fre quently, frankly and as interestingly as you can, , Satisfy ALL calls for advertised goods, no matter what it costs to do this. We hear much about advertising 'Vith a punch." As a medium of communication between interests as nearly mutual as are those of the retailer and customer, advertising "with a jpull" would seem to be much more appropriate. Advertising is telling nothing more or less. If you, Mr. Retailer, have news worth telling, you wul find no-difficulty in getting an audience. Advertising truthful, informative, advertising noodanodefoTise. It pay its own way. It teUa the people of better things for the same money of new and easier ways of doing their work of cater satisfaction. It makes better mer chants, better stores, better homes, better people.

Commissioner Young Makes Soms Timely Sugyestlons Concerning the Building and Jlemodellng of School 3uildings. CUSS. OF ITER BEFORE YOU ElfT Referring to the pamphlet. "Better and Safer School Buildings in This State," recently issued from this de partment, I desire to make additional statements, believing they will bring out more clearly and emphasize the suggestions therein. 1. The question of better school buildings is, of course, dependent upon the views of those who have charge ot their erection as to their de sirability as well as upon the amount ot funds at their command for use in their buildings. The statements in the pamphlet referred to show conclu-! slvely that it will be cheaper In the end to erect school buildings ot a bet ter class, to say nothing of their safe ty. The difference in the cost will be overcome In a few years by the small er depreciation and les call for re pairs on the building, as well as the saving in insurance premiums. 2. The question of safer school buildings Is of very great importance and one that cannot be overlooked, If our school authorities are to come up to the full measure of their duty in' safeguarding the children committed to them. There are two divisions of the work: (1) one the erection of safe buildings, and the other (2) the mak ing of such changes in the buildings already erected and in use as will render them safe for occupancy. The erection ot safer buildings will , of course, only come up as new buildings are proposed, but the making of the present buildings safe faces us each day and calls for prompt action In every city, town and school district of the 8tate. : 3. The use of Double Tower Stair ways Is practicable not only in the erection of new buildings, but In mak ing our present buildings safe. In my opinion, it is Imperative that the school authorities throughout the State shall immediately examine their buildings and make them safe. This can be done at small cost by cutting out all stairways and openings between the different floors and the erection of Double Tower Stairways modeled after the plan of the Tower Fire Escape. 4. It is worthy of consideration, and I desire to bring it to the attention of the school authorities, that the Double Tower Stairways can be attached not only to brick buildings and make them safe for the children on the up per floors, but also to frame buildings and make them absolutely safe for the children on the second floor. The rea son for this is, they do away with the "smoke panic," as well as the "rapidly spreading Are," by cutting out all in side stairways and openings between the different floors. 5. That the use of Double Tower Stairways does not add to but lessens the cost ot school buildings is an addi tional reason for their use. We will take plasure in furnishing any further information or details or examining any proposed plans as to safety from Are, and also go over any buildings with a view to the changes necessary to make them safe. Call on me in person or by letter, - JAMES R. YOUNG, Insurance Commissioner, Raleigh, N. C. That Mr. J. B. Duke, founder of the American Tobacoo company, president and moving spirit of the Southern Power company, and affiliated Inter ests, and owner of the magnificent Somerville, N. J estate, which is one of the show places of the country, Is to bullid a home in piedmont Caro lina is the highly interesting news that has Just developed here. It is to be lo cated according to present plans, which however are subject to change, near Great Falls, S. C, on an island In the Catawba rlvlcr, where it will command a wonderful view of three of the largest hydroelectric , develop ments in the southeast, and Is to be surrounded by roads, park places and flower gardens that will be second to none in the country. Mr. Duke has already had a rough sketch of the plans drawn and he has gone so far as to have Mrs. Duke visit the site 'n order to get her vieiws on the sub ject. Mr. and Mrs. Duke and their lit tle daughter have been at Great Falls for the past several days. Significant Announcement. This announcement is one of the most significant that could be Imagin ed. It is not so much that a splendiil mansion and an estate pre-eminent probably in the south is to be provid ed in thisl section, but it indicates that Mr. Duke is to spend more of hisi time In Piedmont Carolina, that he Is to keep closer and more intimately in personal touch with the develop ment of this general section and this after all is the primary consideration. Mr. Duke Is a constructive force of dynamite energy and wherever he Is something has got to be doing. He could no more retire or withdraw from active business than he could stop breathing. It is the soul of his life, Indeed, his very life, to see things in motion, to plan the work and then work the plan, and he Is a man of vision sufficient and adequate wealth to achieve anything. Mr. Duke is profoundly interested Just now in promoting southern development and he is eager to get erations. Hence his determination to build down here. Charlotte Observer.

Every flay you clean the house you live in to get rid of the dust and dirt which collected through the pre-. vious day. Your body, the house your soul lives in, also becomes filled up each twenty-four hours with alt man ner of filth and poison. If only every man and woman could realize : the wonders of drinking phoBphated hot water, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking mei., women and girls, with pasty or ,muddy complex ions; instead of . the multitudes of "nerve wrecks," "rundowna," "brain fags" and pessimists we should see a, virile, optimistic . throng of rosy cheeked people everywhere. Everyone, whether sick or well, should drink each morning before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's lndlgestable waste, sour fermentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal .' before putting more food into the stomach. Those Subject to sick headache, bil iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation. We must remember that inside cleanliness is more Important than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to contaminate the blood, while the pores In the thirty feet of bowels do. A plan to determine the abount of sickness among the wage earners of North Carolina has recently bean In stituted by the state board of health and the Metropolitan lite Insurance company. This unemployment survey, which will probably take place the week beginning April 10 and which will be made by the Metropolitan's agency staff, has for its purpose to know approximately what percent of the unemployed among the earners in North Carolina is duo to sickness and other disutility. - The survey will take count of the nature of the occupation, the af?e and sex of the employee, and if sick or disabled the disease or cause of dlsa bility. It is the opinion of the state board of health, at whose request the above company is making this survey, that the facts and figures obtained relative to the amount of sickness that exists In North Carolina, will be of Incalculable value to the health work of the state and to public health work in general A Car Load Allen Automo biles to arrive thi3 week.

The sun will continue to give out Its present n mount of beat for 30,00(1. 000 yenr r The courts In several states have re cently held property owners responsl ble for all damages from fire when they failed to comply with state laws or local ordinances. Recent opinions given by the attorney-generals of sev eral states are to the effect that "At common law, one employing fire m his agency, or upon whose property a fire has been accidentally or without his fault started, who falls to exercise or dinary cars under the circumstances to prevent its spread to neighboring property, or one who negligently or carelessly starts a Are, is liable for dimages to another for Injury to per son or property of which Injury such Are or Its spread It ths proximate cause." These decisions and opinions are of the utmost importancs to every fire prevention association tn this country, and should result In making the en forcement of an fire-prevention laws nd ordinances much easier. When the chief or a member of the firs depart ment makes an Inspection of hazard- pus conditions, orders manges or re pairs xnaue, ur ruuuisn icujutou, mini calls the property owner's attention to ths fact that he Is liable for dam aces In cast of fire, the property own sr Is quits likely to obey Instructions forthwith, and he will In ths fjiturs be much mors careful about allowing httardous conditions In and about his property.
