ELECTRIC BITTERs.-Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but per haps more generally needed when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alternative Is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, h. digestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. soc. and $1 .00 per bottle, at E. K. Taft's Drug Store.

t3ne of the smart advertising dodges pratctieed in Philadelphia is the sending a Wen-favored, full-faced, rosy-cheeked, hearty-looking young man-the very pic. ture of health and embodiment of life along the principal business streets, all placarded over with announcements of the kind of bread he is fed on. It Is a bakers advertisement, and by no means had one. So anybody can read the rum ssss&er's sign on the faces of his custom CTS, as they pass along the street. And the tobacconist has his cards in the very eyes and on the cheeks of young men who buy of him.

THROUGH BRIoK.-"You wouldn't hstte believed it possible to blow out 8 cpndle flame through brickbat," re- marked a celebrated physician, whose pen- ohant is to give scientific research 8 prac- tieal bearing. Ut can be done, however, al it Illustrates the all-pervasive quail ties of air.
 5aado lost rooms hare largely ventilated through the walls, and the brick and mor- tar are merely very rudimentary lungs, which take in and throw out the atmos- phere with little hindrance.
 You may try the experiment yourself.
 "Pldce candle on the other side of your brick, and use two tunnels, with the fiaring ends on the opposite sides of the brick bat, with the small end of one in line with your mouth and the small end of the other trained on the candle flame. The least breath will make the light flick or, and hearty expiration will extinguish it altogether.

Indigestion is often taken for consump- tion. The word consumption means vast ing away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as cOnsumptives.
 The reason people waste away is be- cause either they don't get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat.
 If the latter is your trouble, take Sha- ker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well-knOwn Shakers at Mount Leba- non. It possesses great tonic and diges- tive powers.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stOmachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

Here is an experiment. that any one may make in any amusing manner, and the result is so surprising to those that have never attempted it is well worth at- tention. Get long, narrow bag of strong paper and lay it fiat on the edge of the ta- ble, with the mouth toward you. Then lay weights upon the bag, gradually in- creasing, and blowing into it, and you will be astonished at how much your breath will lift, After little practice and the practice will help to expand your lungs and chest-you may easily upset two big books like the city directory.

Killed by Runaways.
All Grocerymen Not Selling
Strictly for Cash Since
the Beginning of Cash
Prices on Groceries.
1t is Proving a Decided Success
to our Patrons as we'll as
to Ourselves.

The runa7ays consists in lost Gus.
toners from the fact that they are
not paying lost accounts and not
troubled with misstatements at the
end of each month. When you
trade with the cash concern your
account is ended and prices guaran-
teed the lowest in market. It's sim
| pie to understand why cash demands
the lowest possible price. # you
have dollar you want changed
anyone will give you one hundred
cents for it Crowded he hasn't been
buying groceries and having them
charged). If so he will say
havn't the money, but if you will
give me the dollar I will give you
the change in thirty days. Your
reason will teach you that dollar is
worth more to you at that time,
than thirty, sixty or ninety days
and maybe never if his family takes
sick and funeral expense to pay.
Now, neighbor, haven't you had
yodr customers tc say they couldn't
pay because they had to pay a
doctors bill and later on they had
to pay other bills more pressing
than yours, and later on you had to
charge that identical account to loss
in your statement of the years BUS
mess. Well, if it be true who
loses it? You can't say you never
lose any accounts. You simply
have to charge more for your goods
to make dividend at the end of
the years business.
Now, customer, listen to the tale
of woe. The only merchan: that's
prospecting today is the one that
pays cash for his goods. Cash dis.
counts pays all expenses Of doing
business.
Why not each customer pay cash
and make the same saving. Cash
demands the lowest possible. price.
Try your grocer whom you have
been paying credit prices and see it
ne wont take you by the arm or
wink at you and say come here to
one side. 1 will give you better
prices provided you don't say any
thing to your neighbor who is pay
ing more for the same article be-
cause he is having it charged. You
know cant charge it and sell as
cheap for cash, Call we" who OBJ
se:ve the winking of the other eye,)
and the difference in what you pay
these split priced and two priced,
credit priced and cash priced, and
to one side priced concerns, will

slow as you are sure to run off the
track as long as you pay credit
prices for what you eat. What you
eat is never thought Of unless you
are dyspeptic or the bill is present.
ed you, and if you are not dyspeptic
it will give you dyspepsis if credit
