LECTURE A RARE TREAT
Prof. Chas. @. Merica Enter.
tanned Good Audience at the
N. E. Church Last Evening.

Prof. Chas O.. Merica at the NJ. e.
Church last evening highly enter
tanned good audience for an hour and
half. The Professor subject, talk
and takers, was presented in d
scholarly way. not only TO please and
entertain, but to instruct as we'll.
Lie is very seldom that a public
lecturer touches on so many subjects
in one single lecture, but each sub
ject was handled and treated in a
most excellent manner; especially
would this apply to his description Of
the passing OF time.
Every different phase OF his lecture
showed that it had been prepared
with much care and study and il was
delivered in a way To hold his
audience spellbound right up to the
last word. He declared that man was
a talking animal and that women
were talking angels.
1t is doubtful if Grand Rapids has
been favored with a lecture for many
years that was equal to this from
every stand point. What we need
as city is more lectures of this kind.
Ii was adapted TO all classes ana
conditions and was highly appreciated
by the entire audience. Should the
Professor find it convenient to visit
this city at some future time we
predict that he would not have the
| opportunity OF speaking to single
empty seat.
The Methodist people are deserving
of much, credit in furnishing this city
| with such a rare treat.

Time To EAT Oranges.

1t Is doubtful If the people Of Grand
Rapids ever enjoyed better oranges
than at the present time. Those who
never ate oranges should now eat
them and those who always eat them
should now eat them more. This
applies especially to the California
orange. The season has arrived when
they are at their best. The favor
now is rich and almost as perfect as
though picked ripe and fresh from
the tree. Those whc know what
goodsfruit Is and love it when it is
perfect the California oranges now on
the market in this city are worth
double what they were two months
ago. There never was a season when
oranges were as cheap in Southern
California, and consumers should
make the most of the situation while
they can,
Nearly one hundred years ago the
priests in charge of the San Gabriel
mission located a few miles distant
from the city of Los Angeles, planted
and reared few orange trees. The
pioneer fathers had learned in Spain
and Mexico before coming to Cali
fornia much about the orange, Il
was some years after American &C.
cupatlon that orange growing in
California attracted attention as an
industry; but today there are six
million orange trees in California.
The bulk of the crop is harvested
from January to May and packed in
boxes of u pounds each. 362 boxes
constitutes carload.
The area planted to orange trees in
California is SO extensive and the
climatic conditions of the state SO
diversified that tue orange harvest
and shipping season is practically a
continuous one. The bulk Of the
shipment however is made in about
one hundred days in a year of an
average crop, when 200 carloads are
shipped each day. There were seven
million boxes of oranges shipped out
OF California last year.

SHOP BY TELEPHONE.
Advertisements in Newspapers Fur.
1fsh Buyers with Prices and Other
Information.

Business by telephone Is now more Of
an item in all the great department
stores and dry goods houses and, in fact,
in all lines of trade, than the small Or
der business. Especially at the holiday
season the telephone Is as much an in
dispensable adjunct in the placing Of
orders as is the salesman. Many are the
people, men as well as women, who do
not care to engage in the jostle and
hustle of the crowds during the holidays,
who prefer to do their transactions over
the telephone.
This does not apply to the very rich
alone. People of the most modest for
tune who have a telephone in their
homes send in their orders in preference
the suburban district telephone ex-
changes reveal an enormous number
of calls with the leading retail houses
of the city.
Every big dry goods house to-day is
obliged to have its own private house
exchange in order that the customer
many miles away may be put In direct
communication with the buyer in any
particular line of goods or with the clerk
at any counter so that there may be the
Iaost explicit directions as to any pur-
chase. avoiding annoyances both to the
house and to the customer.
The use of the telephone In this way
shows how newspaper advertising is
bringing more business all the time to
retail stores. OF course. the people
who send in their orders do SO because
they have seen in their newspapers adj
vertising columns mention of this or
that bargain. They do not need to go
to the store to look over the counters
or in the shop windows. By reading tbs
advertising columns the customer knows
what to buy and where to order It.

LET US HELP YOU TO HEALTH"
John. z. DAILY Wants Every Catarrh Sufferer
To Use Hyemei and Be Cured.

John. z. DAILY Wants Every catarrh Ssiferel
To Use Hysmei and Be Cured.
Statistics show that at least 81 out
Of every 100 persons in this state suffer
from catarrh In some form.
While the disease is one of the most
common, it is also one of the most
dangerous and offensive, leading to
consumption and other diseases of the
respiratory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei
and its introduction in this section by
John e. DAILY, every method of treat.
ment had been found worthless.
The discovery of Hyoniei and its
growing popularity has already re.
duced the percentage Of those suffer
ing from catarrh. This wonderful
remedy is the simplest and most pleas
ant of treatments. Put 20 drops OF
Hyomei in the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, and breathe
it for few minutes four times day.
Relief will be seen after the first
treatment and complete cure will
soon follow. Breathe the Hyomei in
this way, and the catarrhal germs
even in the remote air cells are des-
troyed. The irritated mucous men,
brane is sooJhed and healed, and
perfect health restored.
John E. DAILY says to all catarrh
sufferers. "Let us help you to health,
we are confident Hyomei will cure,
so confident, in fact, that we guar
antee to refund your money if it fails.
A complete outfit costs but ST.. and if
it does not help you, your money will
be returned promptly"

From the Wausau Record But Applies Il
Grand Rapids.

The following excellent advice from
the Wausau Daily Record should be
read by every citizen Of Grand Rapids
as it is the key note to our progress
and prosperity. Wausau is not only
one of our best neighborS on the
north but it is model city in many
respects.
The indications are that the city
will grow more in the next ten years
than it has in the past twenty years
for there are some big things in store.
Among the new industries which
that period Of time are sure to bring
IS 100000 beet sugar plant, a
paper mill to cost almost as much, a
system of street and interurban rail
ways and many other industries OF
smaller Importance. There will
never be time when there is not an
active demand for cottages to rent
and we believe it would be a good
investment for people with money to
build cottages. Not only would the
owner find his investment paying
one, but he would assist in building
up Wausau.
All the people of Wausau need to do
to keep the city in the front rank is
to continue to pull together as they
have ia the past. Whenever anything
is suggested that will benefit our
business interests let everybody
interested do his part. 1t will surely
return you good interest. Be alive,
improve your property. build on your
vacant lots, talk Wausau at home
aud abroad and IN very short time
we will have to extend the city limits

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
enc hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. II Is scientific fact that all cases OF
heart disease, not organic. are not only
iraceable to, but are the direct result of inai-
gestion. Ali food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
ewels the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart. and in the course OF time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
