What would you think of the mer-

MT you kick? 1t would be about as
insulting to your intelligence as it
would were the merchant to try and
palm off some Of his own cheap mix
lures for some Well-known reputable
food or medicine which has a name
for purity, strength and value. A
reputation which has stood the test
of time cannot be knocked out by
such silly tricks. The dealer soon
finds that his old customers lose
faith in him and he loses trade by
such practices.

strated that pneumonia, one Of the
most dangerous diseases that medical

vented by the use of Chamberlain's

results from cold or from an attack OF

cd that this remedy c0unteracts any
tendency Of these diseases toward pneu-
nonia. This has been fully proven In
many thousands Of cases In which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence OF cold and grip In recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn
pllcit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no dam
ger is apprehended until it is sudden

difficulty in breathing and pains in

the patient has pneumonia. Be on the

THE CHARM WORKED.
A story which Reveals the Key to
Good Housekeeping.

S40Ey which Reveals the Key to
Good Housekeeping.
The Germans have a story which the
home loving people love to repeat. Al
father when his daughter became a
bride gave her a golden casket, with
the injunction not to pass it into other
hands. for 1t held charm which in her
keeping would be Of inestimable value
to her as the mistress OF house.
Not only was she to have the entire
care of 1t. but she was to take ii every
morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the
dining room, the library, the bedroom.
and to remain with 1t In each place for
Ave minutes, looking carefully about.
After the lapse OF three years the IA
Their was to send the key that the secret
talisman might be revealed.
The key was sent. The casket w-Ss
opened. It was found to contain an old
parchment on which were written these
words: 1.-THE eyes of the mistress ara
worth a hundred pairs of servants
hands"
The wise father knew that practice
of inspection followed faithfully for
three years would become q habit and
be self perpetuated; that the golden
casket and the hidden charm would
have accomplished their mission. Phil
