ooNscIENoIoUsNEss m WORK.

s Given the man, woman or child that
|sconscienciousness into work. But in
whatever it may be, and success will
accompany sheir efforts. 1t is the
hardest task, this learning and living
up to the fulfllment of conscientious
effort. It is very easy to find excuse
for the cutting short, in some degree
the work or project at hand. 1t is
the workman who gives his employer
tile premium of work on every dollar
he receives, that is going to get ahead,
and be wanted when extra and better
work comes along.
It is in every day life, in the home,
insthe church, in society, that the con-
Escientious person is wanted, for it Is
through such a person, that the best
results come, that the home is cxalt-
ed, the church made the strength it
should be, and society redeemed from
its frivolity and wastefulnesS.
1t is the doing more and better
than the allotted work, that counts.
1t is not being moral and upright,
for mere individual gain, because
good. habits give their possessors a
higher position, on salary or money
basis, but the being good, because
goodness is virtue that means
peace, happiness and security to the
nossessor in this world. and in tht
one to come. In a commercial sen. !.
it is the person who is above par ii
character and application in COW
scientious effort, that is wanted in ev
cry trade and profession, in every
walk OF life. The Indifferent person
may appear to succeed equally as well
as the person that puts individual
conscientiousness into work, But III
the day when any crisis occurs, when
work becomes scarce, wages are cut,
or when man or woman is wanted
to carry out some great work of the
moment, it will be found that the con-
sciencious person stands above his
fellow, the indifferent and careless,
and the call will be to him or her, as
the case may be.
In the school, in the field Of labor,
conscienciousness in the work at
hand, is what means both temporary
and future success. To carry to the
fullest possible, the lessons well
learned, and thoroughly. To COM
plete the work of the hour and the
day, carefully, honestly without
waste of material or time. Tc means
success. 1t means better future eff
forts. 1t means character strength
for the person so performing and full
filing.

TIE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL
MERCHANT.

The approach Of winter and the
holiday season, when the most import
ant and largest expenditures on the
part Of every person and family
takes place, calls attention to- a mat.
ter of great consideration, for those
who are to purchase these supplies.
This matter,is where are you, the cit
izen, going to buy your goods, Of
your home merchant, or are you al
ready sending out for catalogues from
outside merchants Of the great north
ern cities, and figuring on saving
twenty-five cents on every ten dol
lar purchaser
There is no greater community of
interests in a town or city, than that
which is to be found in local cooper
alton Of the people. It is the senti-
ment put into active practice Of doing
everything possible for your neigh
boris interest. 1t is the good word
ever ready for the city's defence. 1t
is the ready help to promote and ad-
vance every local interest which
means public betterments.
1t is found in giving the local mer-
chant every possible order, every pos
sible dollar in trade for goods, that
cah be purchased in his store, or or
dered through his store.
The support Of home institutions ia
best seen in the local patronage given
every worthy local merchant. The re-
tail merchant, as tax payer, is a
most important supporter Of every
thing that makes up a municipality.
He is taxed for everything, and pro-
portionally bears the greatest bur-
den as a local taxpayer. This being
true the local merchant deserves the
consistent support, and every possible
dollar Of patronage from his home
people.
at this season Of the year, the pam
phlet by mail, and the attractive ad
in SONS outside periodical, is too apt
to draw attention away from the
local merchant. The person want
ing goods very often will say what
is the use Of going to the local mer-
chant, he can't carry such goods. and
so send an order to some outside mer-
chant. But how does the home citi-
zen know that the article wanted is
not to be found in towT2 Has the
local newspaper been looked over,
to see if the local merchant adver-
tises, or if not having the exact az
ticle, cannot order the goods, and 50
make small profit?
Let this season be new one for To-
cal buyers, in that they make up their
lists of needed goods, look up their
local merchant and give him the first
opportunity to ill every order, before
sending a dollar to some northern
city. Let the people try, this one sea-
son, 'and see what the result will be.
Give it a trial.

rA11sMANs AND CHARMS.

Tansmans and charms have their
ups and downs in fashion. Just now
The wearing of such "mascots," says
1.-THE Woman's Magazine" seems to
be in the ascendant. They hang from
necks, they dangle from purses, they
even adorn ones rooms. The new
est charm in Paris, which is war
ranted to leave joyousness in its
wake, is a pot of growing shamrocks.
The pots are small, and there is a
great desire to get the four-leaved
shamrocks to grow in them. Such a
result, of course, is mere question
of luck. The shamrock charm will
be much sought this season and will
be a popular favor for luncheons. Al
least Paris is looking through green
eyes at present.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Re.
lief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canai-stomach and b6wAs.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any Of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested In the small in
testines, and If we eat too much, as
most of US do, the organs that should
digest this kind Of food are overcome
by excess of Work, so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and a long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to di-
gest and this is changed Into acids,
sour stomach, belching gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
"About five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation-caused, know
now, from eating starchy and greasy
food.
'I doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me
there was no cure for me. could
not eat anything without suffering
severe pain in my back and sides, and
I became discouraged.
"a friend recommended Grape
Nuts and began to use 1t. In less
than two weeks ] began to feel better
and inside of two months l was a
well woman and have been ever since.
