A Remedy for Hard Times.

The beginning of new year is the time for
settlement and general squaring of accounts.
Let everybody pay up, and we shall see how
brisk and active business will become. One
pays, and that enables another to pay, and so
the paying of bills goes round, and the upshot
of il is that all are out of debt and all are
happy Try it and see if it is not the greatest
panacea for hard times that human ingenuity
ever devised. 1t is the true philosophers
stone that transmutes everything into gold, or
its equivalent. Try it, and see if it will not
accomplish all that is claimed for it.
