That has been, said so frequently that it is becoming a commonplace. ' But in some way there has come the mistaken idea that only the advertisier benefits. That is far front "the truth. 'Advertising creates and in . creases the demand for the products that are advertised, i In 1929, $60,000,000 was expended in advertising to sell 5,358,000 cars, at a cost for advertising of $11 per car. With out advertising it is reasonable to assume many less care would have been sold. Thousands who have been employed in the automobile industry would not have had a job. Steel workers, tire manufacturers, paint producers all would have been affected. This line of reasoning can be applied to stores and to in dustry as n whole. We save our teeth because we read of the benefits of using a tooth-brush. We play healthful sports because we see sporting equipment advertised and recommended. We fur nish our homes attractively because we see attractive fur niture advertised. We are educated how to live more fully by reading the advertising. And creating demands means that more nten and women have jobs. It would seem, regarding the matter from an unbiased viewpoint, that, since the average citizen reaps the greatest benefits, he should buy from the concerns which advertise. He should realize that is one way to" promote prosperity, ' And wise managers, realizing that advertising does pay in more ways than one, should increase their volume of ad vertising. It means business for them. It means more work for employes. It means they are contributing their help to promote prosperity. IMPROVING LA GRANDE Almost every day visitors to La Grande comment on the attractive appearance of the business and residential districts of our city, and state that in nil parts of the Pacific North west La Grande has the reputation of being a progressive city. A trip around La Grande offei-s convincing proof that our citizens are very much interested in the beautification of their homes and grounds. The flower and rock gardens are now beautiful with n variety of bloons, and the owners are taking great pride in planning further improvements. ' : Great praise is being given the members of the Park board for the manner in which they are having Fourth stree1 park beautified. When completed it will be one of the city's attractive places which all may enjoy. It has been suggested that a civic committee be formed for the purpose of giving assistance to anyone desiring sug gestions for the improvement and beautification of their own and surrounding property. This is worthy of considera tion, as it would no doubt create a still wider interest in "La Grande Beautiful." In the For Sale column of one of the newspapers there re cently appeared the following astonishing information: "For Sale a folding bed by a lady that shuts up and looks like a piano." t III Washington I ny Herbert Plummer WASHINGTON The revolution In Spain which removed Attunso XIII from his throne also look from Washington one of the capital's best known diplomats, Scnor Don Alejan dro Padllla Bell. The Spaiuslt ambassador was a favorite In Washington. The Span ish embassy during hts stay was known as a hoauilable place.

Health 3 THE .NARCOTIC DRUGS Opium and its derivatives, mor phine and codcin, as well as cocaine, have been called by Sir William Osier, "God's own medicine." In many conditions the narcotic drugs are the only agents which the pnysician can employ to make me tolerable, and to relieve a patient from excruciating pain. In certain conditions, such as in those suffering with gall stones, or when a kidney stone Is passing- down through a ureter or when the pan creas Is Inflamed, the suffering is so great that the afflicted Individual prefers death. Under such circum stances the narcotic drugs are a Godsend. Again, there are times when ad versity Is too much for man. Grief, sorrow or disappointment rob him of all ability to relax. Sleep cannot be won, ana me leverea Dram reels on In a mad dance. Here too "surcease of sorrow as the poet puts It, can be secured through the use of one of the milder narcotics, " Then there are the hopeless sick, those suffering from Inoperable can cers, whose few remaining days on earth can be made tolerable by one or another of the narcotic drugs. In all these circumstances and in many others, the narcotic drugs are Indispensable. And yet the unique nature of "God's own medicine" makes possible the great tragedy of drug addiction, which afflicts, It has been estimated, more than a million persons in the United States. , It Is common belief that many drug addictions result from prolonged medical treatment with narcotics. Even by taking tho often unreliable word of the addicts not more than 25 per cent chargs their plight to medical experience. More often addiction results when one with little will power takes nar cotics to achieve an artificial state of happiness. Clark Wood !

This is usually because they as sociate him with some painful or terrifying experience in the past. If the doctor is a reasonably friend ly and understanding person it should not be too difficult to cor rect the child's attitude. It may not be possible to relieve the child of all apprehensions or make the expedience an entirely tearless one, but if the right tac tics are used It is possible to make him submit to epcamlnatlon anzl necessary treatment. The child should be taken to the doctor by the person who most re inforces his feeUqg of security, which usually is his mother. He should be made to feel through her attitude that the doctor's treatment is necessary and inevitable, quite lite brushing one's teeth or going to bed. Without talking much about it, she can through her own matter-of-fact manner help the child to accept it in somewhat the same light. If he is going to be hurt, she should not try to deceive him into thinking that he won't be. Instead she" should tell Tilm that It is necessary to endure pain some times and, that there Is no dis grace in crying about It so long as one stops crying as soon as the hurt ing stops. ill FALK35 Arrived Today r y Figured SHANTUNG DRESSES also Plain Gloria Silk Dresses These are the dresses that can be worn for, so many occassions from morning 'til night .. . refreshing in their un affected simplicity ... yes, they're washable. $5.95 The mother shoulder contrive to have some pleasant ' experience, a treat- of ice cream, a ride on the merry-go-round follow immediately on the visit to -the doctor's office whether he was hurt or not so that the unpleasant impression created by the visit itself may be somewhat counteracted bi the . kmmetf latfeh d following nlenaant ont. r to the doctor's office a favorite toy so that the child is happily divert ed wlille waiting for the doctor and does not become tense' and nervous In advance.

How can any shopper know what she is getting when she accepts untried, unadvdrtised products? She can't! In appearance, these substitutes may imitate products of recognized quality. But quality goes deeper than a pretty label! You may be told the imitation package "holds a little more" for the money. Often, it holds little more than disappointment! vuch substitutes are urged upon tinsur.pecting shoppers for just one lesson. T?.cre is more profit in selling tiiem. The rr.erchant who tells you these imiUitions are "just as good" as Wanes you know, and commands h e'erks to do likewise, is looking ml today's sales" slips. Not at ti.nvmc-.r's iovai pairdriage. W Wn a product is 'sold cheaper t-)i VjKi tu' rfco-nirxd quality, you ir.ty Lc oorc it is viade, cheaper. Then how can it be "just as good?" Honest tahie is a product's only inlet to .the advertising columns of this newspaper. The packaged merchandise which you read of here has a reputation at stake. It must make good to hold your confidence, and ours. It cannot afford even one false claim. Whenever you shop, ask for these standard; advertised brands. And get them. Always be warned by the words "just as good" that there is something better. Let the names you know guide you to constant quality. To definite purity. To honest weight. To good products that give full value in return for the money you spend! La Grande Evening Observer
