Advertiging is most effective when continuous. Its main purpose is to set ®. a momentum of reputation, prestige, and good-will, that LATER ON creates sales. So, if a manufacturer fails to keep up his advertising to- dayif he lets the momentum of his business-creating campaign cease-- where will his sales be three months or a year hence? What of his business when the war is over? What will it cost him to set the wheels in motion again? If we believe, and experience compels us to believe, that advertising builds reputation, prestige, good-will-- what utter folly to stop the process of that reputation building, just because there's a war in Europe?

London, Sept. 30---One of the no- table features of the European con- flict is the accuracy of the reports made by the medical men of all the nations involves when their opin- ions are required as seientific ex- perts. A distinguished member of the medical profession in Gérmany was asked to pass upom bullets fired o the French infantry. Officers of the German army feared that they had been poisoned previous to their discharge, but the surgeon, Dr. Traube, pronounced them to be "hu- mane." The surgeon's report is published in the August 25th. issue of a noted German publication, and is commen- ted. upon in yesterday's issue of the Medical Regord. = This is the sum- mary of the report: "Writipg in the Munchener Medi- zinische, , Bf August 25th, Probl.

It had a copper jacket so very thin that it seemed to be gal- vanized on, and being a mere film it was incapable of damage if split off from the cere; the bullet therefore could not be 'dum-dumed' by nicking or filing its nose.
