CARPETS!
81 MONROE ST.

Brussels Carpets are the
old reliable. You always
know that you can depend
upon them and not find
them Disappointing you.
Taps are good, Body Brus-
sells better. The one will
wear for a dozen years or
more, and the other is good
for about a score more,
rather than less. Know
ing the demand for Brus-
sells, special attention has
been given to that branch
of the business. A finer
line of them has never been
shown in Grand Rapids.
You pay for a Brussels

Foolish Patients.

There seems little to choose" says .
physician, between the sexes In the
matter of desire to take medicine regu-
larly, and it is often impossible to per
suade an apparently rstional-minded
patient that cure has been effected,
that no more medicine is needed. and that
nothing but good diet and careful hab-
Its are required to build up the consti-
tuition A number of doctors save them
selves from falling from grace by pre-
scribing harmless tonic after effecting
q cure, but those who pride themselves
in disposing Of cases by aid Of dozen
doses or less seldom attain any great
popularity. The often quoted and much
Wanted practice in China of paying q
physician while his patient is well. and
stopping his pay during sickness, could
never be introduced successfully into
this country because SO many people
who are perfectly well are preparing TO
file afidavits that they are dangerous
ly sick that no doctor under the China
regime would be able to earn his
board"
