AN ADVKKTIS1XU FOKTl Mi
The estate o£ the lute C. W.
Poet of Battle Creek, &lich.,
is estimated, officially, at about
f20,000,00l). It is one of tlio ver:
big fortunes of thetimes and it
all accumulated by a man who
started with nothing and died at an
beyond which many men have
gained the larger part of their
wt^ilth.
This remarkable monoy-makin
was clearly the work of advertising
There was au idea with a wide ap
peal, 4 f course, back of the adver
tising. There was a plau with
breadth and imagination in plenty.
3usine?s ability w*as required, in
ample measure, to sustain the gre
advertising campaign which was
the foundation of the Post forti. e
But all the rest could never have
gained anything like the results .1
tain^d if the advertising had be-M
wanting. Business rivals agree
to that point. .Mr. Tost hioisek
was nv.ver in doubt about it. Tl.v
demonstration he made of the civ.
t;ve power of persistent and 1 -b< • '
advertising was one of tho mo-t im
pressive object lessons ever 1 iu.ria
ja trade and industry.
The Post fortune' was all tin:
work. In the final analysis, uf print
er's ink. It grew out of tho new
papers and other periodi- il*. It
proved, year after year, daily
nourly, that such means of pub.
ity in business must be rated ono c
the mot tremendous and fur
reaching forces of the times.

WHAT GREAT NAPOLEON SAID
Should Tax Vices Instead of Property.
In a Rich, Frosperoui Community
Taxes Are No Burden—In a Com
munity Wher» the Local Town Is
Dead Taxea Are High.
[Copyrighted. 1S14, by Thomas J. Sullivan.]
Taxing is an easy business. Any
new official can contrive new imposi
tions, any bungler can add to tlie old,
but is it altogether wise to hare no
other bounds to your impositions than
tile patience of those who are to bear
them?
What a benefit the government
would render tlie state, the city, the
village and hamlet if It would but tax
vices Instead of property! Bonaparte
said be found vices very profitable.
He got $3,000,000 annually from the
lovers of brandy, and he wanted to
know what virtue would pay him that
much.
Taxes Increasing Each Year.
Taxes are the sinews of the state,
and they are indeed heavy, but if those
laid by the government were the only
ones we had to pay we might more
easily discharge them, but we have
others, and much more grievous to
some of us.
We are taxed twice as much by our
ignorance, three times as much by our
disloyalty and four times as mm h by
our folly, and from these taxes the
commissioners cnnuet ease or deliver
us by allowing an ulatement.
The state, county and town levy and
exact a certain tax from every pie e uf
property located within their bound
aries. the amount depending upon the
official requirements. In a rich, pros
perous community, wheto marketing
and manufacturing lend their stimulat
ing influences, taxes are low. A com
munity where the local towu is dead
taxes necessarily are high.
The explanation is easy. The town
which Is prosperous lias successful
merehauts with large and valuable
stocks of eooUs; U bus manufacturing

have to pay the taxes. This merchant

The Following Statement Should 1
Form Conclusive 1'roof of Merit
To Every Alaskan Kinder
Could stronger proof of I lie merit
o£ any product be desired than tlie
s" atemonls of grateful endorsers
who say their confidenco has been
undiminished by lapse of time?
These are the kind of statements
that are appearing in your local
papers for Doan's Kidney Pills, j
They are twice-told and confirmed
with new enthusiasm. Can any
reader doubt the following?
II. S. Baldwin, retired grocer,
188 Boundary Ave., Porllind, Ore
gon, says: "I was suffering greatly
from my back and kidneys when
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought
to my attention. After I had used
a few boxes, the pains In my back
left and ray kidneys again became
regular. I am now in good health,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills."
NO TROUBLE SINCE.
When Mr. Baldwin was inter
viewed on January, 24, 1913, he
said: "You may continue to pub
lish my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. I confirm all
I have said about them, i;s I have
liad little or no kidney trouble
si nee."
