Continuous Advertising.
It costs the Royal Baking Powder
company something like a million
dollars annually for advertising.
Some olio suggested to the company
that it discontinue advertising one
year, the halving powder was so well
known and advertised, and place
that amount, $500,000 iuthe profits.
The answer was that it would un
doubtedly cost the company three
times that amount to get their pro
duce in its original channel again.
This isa pretty good pointertothose
business men who imagine they are
making u great saving when they
discontinue a tour or six dollar a
month advertisement a few mouths
in dull season. It never pays to
tear out a dam because the water is

Rev. Dr. Weiser Dead.
II (M One of I lie Foremost Heforineil
('ler;nitt)i of the. Stale.
Rev. Dr. C. Z. Weiser, w ho for
hi.uiy year wiwa Rofonnifl pretichcr
in Snyder county, died at his lionn
at East Greenville, Ijchigh county,
on Tuesday afternoon ot last week.
Dr. C. Z. Weiser was pastor of the
Reformed church of Sclinsgmvi'
from l.S.'il to lS57and later ngain
from 1N.1S to LSI 12. Many people
of this county still remember iJev.
Weiser.
I''or six years Ir. Weiser was in
failing health, U'ing iilllieted witli
throat trouble. During the I, i t
year his nervous system became af
fected and he was almost entirely
helpless.
Dr. Weiser was about SO ye;,.'- I
age. lie was a son of the lat ilev.
Daniel Weiser, and graduated fro;u
Franklin and Marshall College, of
which institution he was for many
years a iiiciuImt of the Board ol Di
rectors. He was also a member - i
tlieloardol Missions of the in
formed church, and was n promise:; t
lecturer.
Dr. Weiser was an authority on
Pennsylvania German, and wrote
several poems in that language. Ib
was a lineal descendant of Colonel
Conrad Weiser, the interpreter and
missionary among the Indians, who
.as one of the leading men of Penn
sylvania in his day. The last charge
Dr. Weiser served was the New
Gosehenhoppeii and Trinity congre
gations, atSpinnerstown. His aged
wife survives, but no children.
Funeral was held on Monday morn
ing, at 1 1 o'clock.
It is whisiK'retl in Washington
that Congressman Bailey, of Texas.
thinks he would make an extremely
capable presiding officer of the
United States Senate. He had ta
ken occasion to make a "kevnote"
speech fyr the Congressional cainp
aigne, going to the city of Richmond
for that purpose, and in it endorse:
iree silver and the Democratic plat
form in 1898, and Bryau for the
Presidency in 1900. It is intimat
ed that the Texas statesman feels
that the ticket of Bryan and Bailey
would sweep the Mississippi valle'v
and the entire South and west hi
1900; hence his willingness to lorget
uiose scruples which he mentioned
in his celebrated Breech mule in
Texas in the beginning of the cam
paigneouayo, in which he antagon
ized Bryan and the Democnitii
1
platform.
