MERCURY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE

The effects of Mercury and Potash are worse than the effects of Contagious Blood Poison, for which these minerals are generally used. They cannot cure the disease, and in addition set up pois- on of their own, producing dyspepsia, by drying up the gastric juices, salvation, sores, mercurial rheumatism, and often necrosis of the bones.

OF MANS DEATH
Talk of Employe Indicates That Walk
er's Drowning Might Not Be
Accidental.

A hired man on the farm of David
Walker. of Bowling township, VINO was
drowned in Rock river a week ago, has
recalled a number of incidents of last
week which give the impression that
Mr. Walkers death was not accidental
but that he committed suicide. Walk
er's employee tells of a remark made by
Mr.. Walker when they We're at work
repairing a pump Saturday morning.
One of the tools fell down the well,
and they dropped a line with a drag
hook on it and were fishing for the tool
when Walker remarked that before
night there would be fishing for bigger
game 1t is told that before leaving
his farm at noon for Rock river. where
he was TO take his children bathing. he
three times went TO the house to bid
his wife goodbye and seemed nervous
and depressed. Other little incidents
are being recalled which give some
reason to think that perhaps his death
was not accidental All of the testi-
mony before the coroner's jury indi-

Are You!

To sell a lot Of ground for $50 less
than it would bring if IS were ex-
pended in advertising it is very COM
mon-if not very merchandising.
To sell a shop or store for $4,000 when
$40 worth of advertising would have
found the man willing to pay $500
more for it-tnat is near sighted
fiananciering.
To allow a house or apartment to re-
main tenantless for three months,
when So worth of advertising would
have rented it in three days-is not
a good way to manage property
but it is a very usual way!
