Wh° Pays for the
Advertising ?
Wouldn’t you prefer, if you had a cloth
ing store, to sell a hundred suits of clothes
in a day, making an average profit of $2.00
per suit, to selling ten suits in a day, with
an average profit of $5.00 per suit i
Suppose that, to sell the hundred suits a
day you should spend, say, $20.00 per day
in advertising.
Who would be “taxed” for the advertis
ing ? Your patrons ? Scarcely when
they pay you $2.00 less than they would
have to pay for the identical suits to the
merchant who does NOT advertise.
You ? Scarcely when you make a great
deal more money than \uu would if vou
“saved” your advertising appropriation.
Your non-advertising competitor in tho
penalty he pays for not doing so large a
volume of business as he 001'Id) do by
advertising, and taking a smaller per-sale
profit ?

IN VINO SANITAS
By Marcel Prevost
(Member of the French Academy)
When the new wine fills the bar
rels In October, the brains In France
begin to ferment. The people of Gir
onde are up in arms because there
are people who dare, think (hat good
claret is produced outside of their
part of the country, while tho "vig
nerons” of Dordogne and Lot-eGGar
onuo laugh at their Indignation, and
declare that their wine is equally
good or hotter.
This light of winegrowers would
really be quite worthy of being im
mortalized in mock-heroical poetry if
it were only a Jolly warfare between
lusty vintagers quarrelling, glass in
hand i on the edge of their wine
presses; hut It Is not a war of this
kind, hut one In which very serious
and vital interests are concerned.
The vintages are fighting not be
cause the barrel Is empty, hut be
cause there Is too much wine pro
duced— bo much, indeed, that there
is no market for it.
If Wine would go up only a few
francs ft barrel, then you would see
the winegrower of Dordogne dance
with his brethren of Lot-et-Garonne.
You will hardly have a chance to
witness this, however, at least not for
some time to come, for the wine of
France is suffering from tho wounds
Inflicted on it during the last thirty
years by Us conscious or unconscious
enemies.
From where comas, then, this evil
which is far worse than black rot or
phylloxera? How does it happen that
a product which Is universally used
not only gives no income, but even
rests as a heavy burden upon large
districts in France?
Who are the dangerous, the re
doubtable enemies of our wine, which
for centuries had only friends in
j Franco? .
The wine has had active enemies,
who have fought against it, but what
, is even worse it has had false friends
1 who betrayed it, and clumsy friends.
| who have hurt it even as much.
The clumsy friends, who are worse
! Phan enemies, are the wine growers.
I They did net understand that their
prosperity was closely tied to the
wine. They hurt it by their careless
ness or (heir greed.
Some of them were lulled t° sleep
I because the vineyards for years had
| made their forefathers prosperous.

Why should they work when the vines
were sure to produce grapes any
way ?
So they sat down, smoked their
pipes and did nothing. Others, more
energetic and more eager to make
money, planted grapevines every
where in soil that was never intend
ed for wine-growing. Every depart
ment in France produced wine in
ever-increasing quantities, hut the less
said about the quality the better—
and overproduction came.
II came so much quicker because
reckless merchants, men who cared
nothing for the life of the wine, but
only for lining their own pockets with
gold, increased the output by gross
fraud. They made wine which had
never seen grapes.
Suppose that a wine-grower In the
Midi sold his whole output of say 300
barrels to one of these swindlers, he
did so with the stipulatioa that tho
buyer should havo the key to his
storehouse for six months; and here
lie worked in tho dark, with the re
sult that he turned out, not three
hundred barrels of pure wine, but fif
teen hundred barrels of a mixture
that was sold under the name of
wine, and which disgusted the con
sumer and ruined Ills stomach.
Thus our wine gradually lost its
reputation as a health-giving bever
age, a reputation that had stood the
test of centuries.
To many taprooms in Paris a barrel
of wine is now delivered every morn
ing. guaranteed to keep only fifteen
1 hours, and the next day It Is only a
i disgusting sour liquid which no hu
! man being would think of drinking.
When the reputation of our wine
had been thus ruined, then came
along Its worst enemies, the physici
ans, to give it the “coup de grace.”
It really looks as If vis comiea
must he dead in France, or a certain
class of charlatans holding diplomas
of medicine would long ago have
ifound their Moliere.
The undying glory of Pasteur pro
tects, I believe, all our physicians, or
; the public would long ago have done
away w ith these ridiculous and dan
gerous individuals who prescribe al
ternately tomatoes or beans, who
force unfortunate people to live on
unwholesome patties, washed down
with nothing but evil-smelling mln-
I eral waters.
It is these doctors who forbade the
use of wine, not the poor wine or the
adulterated or artificially made wine,
hut wine in general. Burgundy as well
as Bordeaux; and the poor fools who
dared not eat tomatoes or beans, who
i existed . n patties and mineral water,
' did not stop to think that from time
I immemorial men had used wine as
| they eat bread and breathe atr.
They did not look at the map of
France to discover that tn the parts
of the country where the most wine
is produced, consumption is an un
known disease.
No, they submitted; ceased drink
ing wine, and ruined their stomachs
with mineral water as artificial as the
worst artificial vine, and became neu
rasthenics by the hundreds.
I This is no joke. If you look around
jx>n will discover that those in France

who drink good, wine do not suffer
from neurasthenia; they are not
those who make the doctors rich. And
this is probably why the physicians
have declared war against wine.
But the whims of the doctor? are
always changing. The day will prob
ably come when pure water wal be
put on the list of forbidden bever
ages, and then good wine will once
more be valued as the blessing it is.

OUR MYSTERIOUS VISITANT
HALLEY’S COMET
THE COMET
This series of six illustrated articles on Halley’s Comet will be notable as
chronicling the arrival in our sky (on September 11th last) of that monster
which in 1456 drove all Europe into a frenzy of fear, and which, at each of its
visitations before and since, has produced a profound impression on all man
kind.
Absent for seventy live years, its return has already been detected by the
camera and large telescopes, and in December we shall begin to see it with the
naked eye. Nightly it will brighten e.nd increase in bulk and length, until at
its most brilliant development the Comet will possibly stretch across one
third of the sky, reaching as far as a line of sixty full moons. Not before late
summer will it vanish from view, to be seen no more by mortals for another
three-quarters of a century.
It goes without saying that abclutely nothing will so win popular attention
and excite popular interest for the next few months as Halley’s Comet.
THE AUTHOR. —w
The writer of these articles is Dr. Frederick Campbell, President of the De
partment of Astionomy in the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Dr.
Campbell has long been a popular lecturer, chiefly on Astronomy, and for
more than twenty years a writer for the press. His articles for upward of
seven years were published monthly by the Brooklyn Eagle. i ......
THE SERIES.
The first article deal ’ with the appearance, dimensions and distance of the
Comet. The second wi bh the dates when it will be at certain important points
in its course. The third will deal more specifically with the course of the
Comet, helping the reader to a clear conception of its performances. The
fourth article will handle the remarkable history of this Comet, reaching back
to the times before Christ. The fifth will be a study of the nature of this and
other comets. The sixth and last article will discuss the question of the possi
bility of collisions between this Comeb and other comets, and the earth. A

The first article will appear in Saturday’s Herald; the second in next Sun
day’s Herald and the remaining four in The Sunday Herald, during the month
of November.
