Through the publicity given a certain antitoxin, that dread disease, diphtheria, which used to mow down our children as a reaper mows down grain, is hardly dangerous any more. We never cut a finger or scratch a hand but what we go straight to u bottle of advertised antiseptic. (And this has no relation to so called patent medicines.) tVhen we rise in the morning we put on an advertised stock ing that saves us hours of weary labor. We touch a match to an advertised gas stove and save another half hour. We put on an, advertised toaster and save our tempers and our digestion. We dress in advertised clothes (advertised either by the maker or the seller), and from then until the time we go to sleep again on an advertised bed, we are dealing with and living in touch with publicity throughout the livelontr da v. We use it as our guaranty of quality or price, or good faith on the part of the seller. We act on it with full faith and we' accept it implicitly at all times. We sometimes doubt the abso lute veracity of what it claims, but we never doubt the dead cer tainty of the man who signs his name to it, either to make good what he claims or cheerfully to give us back $ur cash. They say this is a day when no man can succeed without adver tising, but it is even more than that. It is a day when no family can succeed without reading the advertising. If most people were as impervious to advertising as they think' i they are, they would bs twenty-five years behind the times in every-; thing they do. ' The time has come when advertising has got to be treated a? news, read as news and acted upon as news. The people who do not read advertising, like the people who ! do not use advertising, are getting fjirther and farther behind j u ixic late mery year.
