Kntered at the postoftice at Wllmette, Illinois, au mail matter of the second class, under the act of March 3. 1879. FRIDAY. JANUARY 30, 1920 interests must be considered and pro- tected, that their work must be such as will be accepted when the referen- lum is held. Intelligent attention on the part of Aic public ought to be sought by the delegates. It will help them to an understanding of the public mind and guide them in their work in the formulation of the constitution. But •his public attention to be effective tor good must be above sectionalism. ibove party political considerations, above selfish motives of every sort. It is a large order of good citizen- ship that is demanded of the Illinois public at this time, as well as of the delegates to the convention. But it is not impossible for the conditions '.o be met. URGES ALL TO LEARN ABOUT AUTO BATTERY Too Busy To Report No physician should be "too busy" to report to the health department cases of influenza which come to his knowledge. Any physician who re- fuses his co-operation with the health commissioner for this reason should be looked upon with considerable suspicion by those whose cases he fails to report. The experience of last year's epi- demic of influenza was certainly tragic enough to encourage the exercise of every precaution against its repetition. The heavy toll should serve as an incentive for the strict- est control of the cases that have developed within the last two weeks. Appreciation of the heavy burden of work that the medical profession must carry in a period of epidemic of any sort is not incompatible with the severest condemnation of those who fail to help the health depart- ment to control the spread of dis- ease. It is no time for the exercise of individual opinion and judgment. Consideration of the efficient work- ing of the department of health should be first in the minds of the whole community. Physicians are setting a bad example by declining to observe the orders of the health com- missioner, an example which is only too readily followed by individuals whose social consciences are in poor working order. "Talk to the average motorist about carbureter adjustments,cylinder synchronism, gear shaft alignments, or any simple matter like that." re- marked Fred Otto, manager of the Evanston "Exide" service station, "and he's right with you on every count. Ask him to explain to you the action of his storage battery and he'll usually go down to the cud of the class without a struggle. "And yet there is no real reason for this. Any chap who can figure out the elemental mechanics of an automobile possesses plenty of in- telligence with which to dope out his Imttery. And he ought to do it. Ex- perience proves that the more a mo- torist knows about the internal ar- rangements of his car, the better care he is going to take of them—and my personal opinion is that many a good starting and lighting battery is ruin- | "d just because its owner doesn't i know the few simple principles of its ( action. I*m not much of a lecturer, ! but it is my object, just as it is that ;of every other 'Exide' service man the country round, to help my customers to get the absolute best out of their batteries; and I'm willing to sit down any time and give them an enlightening little discourse on the whats and whys of storage bat- tery theory and practice. I'm there to bet that the average life of the average battery in these parts would be considerably lenghtened if they absorbed my advice and that my job would be a more cheerful one. For even so husky a product as the 'Exide' is a good deal like the garden variety of husbands—it's much better to live with when it's properly un- derstood." Yet when it comes to spending a little real money for newspaper ad- vertising, they go very slow. They can't see any results. The firms that made the big suc- cesses didn't see their results a day after the first advertisement appear- ed. Many of them waited years, but they kept on plugging away at the advertising. Spasmodic advertising doesn't get the results that steady advertising! secures. It's easy to forget adver- j tising. Think of a number of ar- j tides that were well known ten or fifteen years ago, and ask,,..f%or,,.some of them today. "Nlfe You will find that the ones' which kept up their advertising are still running strong. The ones which dropped out of the advertising pages are out of business, or nearly so. If advertising is good for the big man, it's good for the little one, be- cause our country is full of little or- ganizations that have grown into big ones.—Record. Spencer, Wis. Read The Want Ads On Page 7 "NEVER READ THE ADS' Occasionally you meet the strong minded person who makes the state ment that he or she is not influenced by advertising—in fact, they never read the ads. You'll fi'id that these people who never look at the ads are better acquainted with the goods which are widely advertised than they are with any other kind. It takes a good deal of strength of character to page through a pres- ent day publication and resist the impulse to look at at least part of the advertising. It's characteristic of the people in this country to want things. We are constantly striving to better our con- dition, at home and otherwise. We're looking for news about things that will enable us to improve these conditions. Where else is there to look for them outside of the ad- vertising? It's a pretty hard matter to find a person who is not influenced by ad- vertising. Everyone is touched by it in some way or other. It secures its effects consciously or un- consciously. Very-often storekeepers will ad- mire an advertising campaign and will talk about a line of goods that is advertised. They will comment upon the success of a firm that has been a big advertiser, and get off the time-worn phrase, "Advertising pays," o^ocao Watch The Convention The Constitutional Convention is now in regular session, beginning work upon the new constitution which shall serve as the basic law of Illinois for another generation, longer if the men who are composing it are possessed of the vision that they ought to possess and the people of the state are appreciative of the conditions which such a code must meet. The men who compose the Consti- tutional Convention have been chosen by the people of their district ,to represent them in this business of the creation of the new law. That they do actually represent the districts from which they come j should be the responsibility of the; people who sent them there. It willj not do to dismiss the matter of the constitution with placing the re- sponsibility upon the heads of the delegates. What they do in the dis- charge of this responsibility must be a matter of concern to every man and woman in the state. | When the labors of the convention have been completed the work of the' constitution will come before the electorate of the state for ratifica-' tion. It is to the interests of all concerned that the finished product should be as nearly perfect as it is possible for it to be, in order that' the time and the money which the convention will consume may not have been spent in vain. Public at- | tention and the expression of public opinion on the work of the conven- : tion as it goes on will help to keep before the minds of the delegates the fact that they are responsible to the people who elected them, that their What would you do without Newspaper Advertisements? What if there were no advertisements in any newspaper? Lost and found articles might never be restored to their owners. Buving, selling and, renting houses would be greatly delayed. Merchants would be compelled to de- pend almost entirely upon those who passed by their stores for their trade. Such a condition would set the hands of the clock of progress back two hundred years. It would limit trade. It would bring delays and annoy- ances and make purchasing risky and expensive.. This goes to show how important newspaper advertisements have be- come in our everyday affairs. Read them fully and faithfully. It may mean many added advantages in your life and dollars in your pocket- book. j tOKiO EVANSTON 620 Davis Street Tel. 2114,2415,2416,2417 TheGBOCE WTLMETTE Central Ave. & 12th St CtocerrTels 510, 511 512 & 513 Meat Telephone 514 EVANSTON STORE Caih and Carry ..5% Discruni Cash and Delivered 2% Discount Ctedil and Carry, 5 cents allowed m each order Credit and Delivered, one arder delivered free Cash Discount on orders of $1 or mote VVILMETTE STORE Cash and Carry 5% dineoum Cash and Delivered 2% diicount Thise do not apptv <e Meat De partment.
