There's Wisdom
in Economy,

And there are different sorts
of economy. The economy
which "saves at the spigot
and wastes at the bung" is
worse than no economy at
all.
The truest saving Is to buy
the best your pocketbook
will afford at the lowest
price for which 1t can be
sold.
We buy the best of everyf
thing.
We sell on such a close maxi
gin Of profit that our cust
toners feel confident that
bottom has been struck.
Hence the active, progress
sive look of things which
some people wonder at.
It's very simple this honest
shopkeeping when you know
how, and the trading publiS
will always pin their faith
to an establishment of this
kind.

OF woman, and then spoke OF uqliness
and said 1t WAS attribu table to doctors
and to the nursery. He spoke ct some
length of fads and old fogyism in the
practice of medicine and the doctors
came In for goodly share of the plain
talk which he gave. He based his
method upon the science OF vibration
which can be plainly heard from the
palm OF the hands, and the arguments
advanced by this great doctor were Of a
most plausible nasure. He said that ne
had personally examined more than
1900 patients. He has an established
reputation and can, he save, diagnose
disease withous asking single q ues,ion.
The lecture WAS listened to with much
