If there is any chance to boom
your business, boom It. Don't put
on long face and look as though
you had sour stomach. Hold up
your head, smile and look for bet
ter things. Hide your little ham,
mer and try to speak we'll of others
no matter how small you really
know yourself to be. When a
stranger drops in, jolly him, tell
him this is the greatest town on
earth, and 1t is. Don't discourage
him by speaking i'll of your neigh
bors. Lead him to believe that he
has at last struck the place where
white people live. Don't knock.
Help yourselves along by becoming
popular and push your friends with
you. It's dead easy. Be a good
fellow and soon you will have a
procession of followers. No man
ever helped himself by knocking
other people down in character or
business. No man ever got rich by
trying to make others believe he
the only man in town who knew
anything. You can't climb the lad
der of success by treading on other
peoples corns. Keep off the corns
and don't knock.

Cuban DiArrhooa.

U. s. soldiers who have served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I here- by certify that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrahea Remedy cured my husband of severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a medicine" For sale by all druggists.
