How to Save Money.

Not by buying soap-though ''soap
is a good thing TO carry elections.
Not by investing in infallible cures
for consumption, OF champion catarrh
remedies-they are like the Yankee
peddler's razors, made to SELL" The
way to save money is by the ability
to know good thing when you see it.,
and take advantage of it. You can
save money at all times by taking the
Burlington Route for Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver
and all prominent points in the West
and Northwest. The speed of its
trains and the certainty of its connec-
tions will save time, and time is
money The comfort and luxury of
its equipment twill save worry, and
the courteous manners of its employees
will save your temper. For maps,
time tables and information respect
ing this line, call on any of the local
agents. or write to w. j. c. Kenyon,
