FREE ADVICE no MEN.

1t is rather early to talk about spring
clothing, but just want to put you on your
guard. Jefferson county is chuck full of
so-called tailors to the trade. Grocery
stores, blacksmiths and even railroad
agents are in the business. The whole
thing in nut shell is, that they are tax
ing orders for ready made clothing, and
the man that places his order with them
is paying from three to FIVE dollars more
for suit of ready-made clothes than he
could have one made to order for at c.
E. Reininger's. He is making suits to
order from $500 up, and pants from
$3.50 up. Beware of the sweatshop
agents and see Reininger's assortments
of the latest novelties in suitings before
YOU buy.

American securlties Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. Ifthis state of things
holds, there will be an increasing influx OF
British gold into this market. This dem
onstrates the faith abroad in the stability
of Our credit. There is another point OF
faith for which the people not only of this
but foreign countries have good grounds
for credence, and that is belief in the eff
cacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for
inorganic maladies which affect the stom.
ach, liver, bowels, kidneys and nerves.
Dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation and
rheumatism are conquered by it. 1t hast,
Gus warmpth and sensation of physical
comfort through the system.

&c For five weeks lived on cold water so to
speak, writes man who suffered terribly
from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his stom-
ach. What stayed wasn't properly digested
and gave him terriable pangs.
Thisis not an uncommon case. DYspeptics
don't get enough nourishment. They are
generally thin and weak.
They may cat enough, but they don't digest
enough. Much of what they eat turns into
poison. If this keeps on there's no telling
what disease they may get next.
That's why it is best to take Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial as soon as symptoms of indiges-
ton appear,
1t cures all the evils which indigestion
causes.
