A prominent railway system, not content with the general rule heretofore in force on railways forbidding employees to drink while on duty, now forbids ern-a ployees to indulge at all in drink ing out of employment hours, or in any other conduct which will impair their health or make them less alert and less capable while on duty. The owner of one oi the nation’s pets —a promient baseball team —annouces that moderation in drinking is not suffi cient; the players on his team must leave alcohol entirely alone and abandon cigarettes. The justifi cation for such rules may be found not only in the difficulty of being moderate in indulgence, but also> in the cumulative and after-effects of dissipation. The world is moving; the old fetich of “personal liberity” at whatever cost of danger to the public at large seems to be losing its power. The Journal of the American Medi cal Association thinks that the time may come when every man to whom the life and safety of others are entrusted may be ex pected or even required to be as abstemious as ball-players and railway employees. A Great Truth Retold. Great truths are realized slowly, because the greater the truth the duller the telling of it seems to be. But sometimes a great truth is put into new garb, and then peo ple stop, look and nod approval. Here is one of the greatest ad vertising truths from out of the mouth of a preacher. 'You can read it and be wiser than you were before. “If you go across a lawn once you tread the grass down, but by the next norning it will recover itself, and no one can trace your footsteps. If you do it a dozen times the grass will not recover from the injury, but will wither, and it will be evident to even a casual observer that some one has persistently intruded on the beau iy of the lawn. If you do it fifty times, you will wear the grass away and leave a bare path.” The object of advertising is to wear paths on the brain. If the human brain was under stood, and if the storehouses of memory were open to the com prehension of man, you would find hundreds of deepworn paths there. Those paths would be found so indelible, so fixed and so lasting, that longest limits of life could not obliterate them. Those paths could be given names, just as public thorough fares in New York are called Broadway, Fifth avenue and Four teenth street. Those brain paths you could recognize as Postum, Gold Dust, Campbell’s Soups, Douglas Shoes, and scores of more familiar names. Advertising makes these paths. Absolutely no other footsteps wore away the lawn and left be hind a lasting trail. There is no other way so good as this to begin to popularize a name or a trademark. —By Bert M. Moses, President Association of American Advertisers. $i A Year
