Is the individual who persstently neglects hi:
health and the means of preserving and restor
ing it. Many persons who are not constitu.
tional idiots do this. They are genuine objects
of compassion as well us censure. A failure OF
appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, impaired diges-
ton, an uncertain state of the bowels and
symptoms of biliousness are so many warnings
of the approach of disease. To disregard them
is absolute folly, which offended nature in due
time Furnishes severely, if not fatally. That
genial and thoroughly reliable preventive of
bodily mischief in the shape of chronic disease,
in time, avert those disorders, to the removal
of which it is also fully adequate. Among these
are chronic Indigestion, liver complaint, kidney
troubles, constipation, nervousness, rhouma-
tism and malaria.

Commerce a Good Town.

That Commerce is good business
point cannot be disputed. With a
good Touring mill, an elevator, a
steam ferry, a pottery, a bank,
railroad and the river, it has many
advantages.
But there seems to be a "screw
lose" somewhere. Commerce does
not command the trade she did six
and seven years ago. Her merchants
and business men seem careless. In
fact, they do not seem to invite trade,
as they used to.
Six, seven and eight years age
Commere was the trading point OF
the county. Men and families from
within the corporate limits of Ben
ton, and from Blodgett, Diehlstadt
New Hamburg and Kelso went te
Commerce to trade. Why? Because
merchants offered inducement and
the people went there to trade. II
was the Mecca of Scott county.
But how is it today? 1t is a towr
about as good as the average in Scott
county, but not the town it ought to
be with it's advantages. Much Of
Scott county trade goes to toMississipp
county that properly belongs to Com
merce. For instance. the trade from
Prices Landing. We have pleaded
with those farmers and asked why
they did not patronize Commerce
Their reply was "You can't get any
thing there you want, and in Char
lesion you can.
However, we believe this idea tc
be erroneous. It's our opinion that
almost anything ordinarily used in
this county is obtainable at Commerce
but the people who keep it seem tc
have no way by which to let the
people know of it.
This is no joke-neither is it in
tended as a slur. Compare the
amount of business done by Commerce
seven years ago with now and you
will find that it compares very fav'
orably with their advertisingl?l?
