OFFICE CAT
TltAOC MAHK
The reformer seems to be ii permanent affliction of normal
humanity. Sometimes, though rarely, his task is an easy one;
generally, however, it involves an uphill fight. Of the latter order
is the campaign being waged by the editor of a medical magazine
in favor of the use by women of more soap and water and less
paint and powder.
This unsophisticated believer in the power of the printed word
avers that a symposium conducted among clubwomen throughout
the country reveals a practically unanimous opinion against per
fumes, excessive powdering and cosmetics. In the opinion of those
consulted, all that is needed to secure skin health and beauty, and
incidentally a high standard of morals, is pure White soap, a wash
rair and plenty of warm water. They are lenient toward "a little
powder," but, to a woman, they are emphatic in their condemna
tion of "whitewash and paint," which they consider disgraceful
and demoralizing. Perfumes are also brought decidedly under
the ban.
The promoter of this reform movement allows it to be inferred
that the women who express these emphatic views are representa
tive of i.he "best thought" in their respective communities. But
who ever heard of the world being guided by the best thought in
any age? In matters of feminine fashion, above all, it has never
counted a whit. Moralists and prudes have inveighed against this,
thai.' or the other practice, but lovely woman has gone on her way
smiling and unheeding and maintained her fad against all comers
until a newer one displaced it.

merely beating the air in his attempts at a general reformation.

The campaign for "truth in advertising" that the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World are waging is most praiseworthy.
Kal'sity in advertising is rare, but it is sufficiently frequent to
warrant the campaign against it.
The "ad" is a silent salesman. It looks at you from the printed
page or from car signs or from billboards and you look at it. To
win a buyer's favor is one thing. To keep it is another. A false
"ad" may induce one sale, but the 'tricked customer does not re
turn. The customer attracted by a true "ad" does return, and
is therefore equivalent to two or more customers, according to the
number of his return 't'rips. "This demonstrates the truth of the
maxim that "honesty" is the best policy," not only from the stand
point of morals, but from that of self interest.
The public is concerned in this advertising proposition. In its
own interest it desires "truth in advertising." Advertisers who
have confidence in the merits of their offerings are also urged by
their own best interests to press for the truth. For falsity in ad
vertising, even though of seldom occurrence, reflects on honest ad
vertising. No advertiser can afford to be untruthful. Kvery ad-!
tferlfcev jvho lina anything to sell worlh buying can afford to be!
truthful.

Value of Affection
"Alienation of affections". this legal actiiui seems to be steam
ing along to pronounced popularity with husbands who have lost
out. Suits for damage running into hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are almost daily instituted. Which prompts the query: If the
injured parties value a wife's affections so highly, how is it that
Ihey lose them so frequently? l-'or presumably the plaintiffs once
possessed them, and if they have lost them, many of them have
themselves to blame.
The high estimation of damages that plaintiffs place on the
lost affections of their wives suggests that a little more care
trifle more attention
lover in marital conduct might have made alienation nioie
cult, if not impossible.
