Wrong Foot Ont of Bed.

About half the world puts the Wrol
foot out Of bed in the morning. But
which is the wrong foot? 1t is SUI
perstition as old as the hills that If the
left foot touches the floor first you will
have bad luck that day. Probably null
titudes of men avoid this by sleeping
on the right side Of the bed, so that In
rising the right foot naturally comes
first in contact with the floor. 1t Is
said to be fact that most people lie on
their right side because Of the preva-
lent notion that the heart has freer ac-
tion.-New York Press.

THE MODERN SALESMAN.
He Realizes the Necessity For Cor
rect Dress In business.

He Realizes the Necessity For Cor.
rect Dress In business.
It has become the unwritten but
none the less stringent law that young
men shall dress well and neatly during
business hours. In many Of the lar
gest banks and financial institutions
none of the clerks is permitted to go
coatless, and in the mercantile estab-
lishments where statesmen are en-
ployed cloud attire Is actually dis
couraged. The old time salesman glo-
ried in his famboyant cravats and
shirts, his diamonds and his peculiar
clothes. His capital in trade consisted
of a f1ashy appearance, vulgar stories,
q constitution that would stand fntoxi-
eating liquor and an unlimited amount
of cheek. He did not have to know
anything about the goods he sold, eX-
cept in a general way. He slapped
men on the back, took them out to din
ner, got drunk with them and then
booked their orders. The modern sales
man is q we'll educated, neatly dressed
gentleman who knows all about the
goods he sells. He is never called upon
to drink, he never needs to dine out.
he trades on honor and brains, and his
customers are men who only admire
men who know as much as or more
than they do about their business.
Dress plays the most important part in
the game of commerce, no less with the
salesman than it does with the man.
ufacturer, the mill man, the banker
or the financial man. They all dress
to impress their fellow men favorably.

Catarrh of the Stomach

When the stomach Is overloaded;
when food Is taken into 1t that falls
to digest, 1t decays and inhames the
mucous membrane, exposes the
nerves and causes the glands to
secrete mucin, instead of natural
juices of digestion. This Is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years
I suffered with catarrh of the stom.
ach, caused by indigestion. Doc
tors and medicine failed me until 1

Bamboo OnalR.

Bamboo opals are peculiar gems
which are sometimes found in the
stem Of the bamboo. This gem is very
rare from the fact that not one in a
thousand bamboo stems contains it..
These vegetable growths are called
tobacur by the Filipinos. Some Of
them are so similar-that is. they ex-
hibit so perfectly the chara cterisics Of
the opal-that even experts frequently
fail to distinguish them franz the real
gem.

 Any woman who Is silently suffering untold pains because she is too sensitive to undergo a physicians examination and treatment can find no excuse for not securing relief when Wine of Car dui is offered to her. There is no pub licity to deter her. She can take Wine of Cardui in the privacy of her home, with as much assurance of final cure as though dozen doctors recommended it. Many physicians do recommend Wine of Cardui to their patients.
