Because her stomach was so weak
ened by useless drugging that she
could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters
of st. Clair St, Columbus, o., was lit

MY stomach was so weak from use
less drugs that I could not eat, and
my nerves so wrecked that I could
not sleep; and not before I was given

trio Bitters; with the wonderful result
that improvement began at once, and
complete cure followed, Best
health tonic on earth. soc. Guar

read advertisements" 81 never get
any results from advertisements" 81
don't think il pays to advertise and
similar remarks, when in fact it is the
advertisers fault and not the advertise
mentS.
So many advertisers try and talk of
too many subjects at one time thus
making none of them forceful enough
to impress the reader; pay no attention
to the proposition the advertisement
presents; are not explanatory enough
to even interest the prospective buyer;
do not live up to their advertisements,

HAYoREEK COAL STANDS TEST
Most Profitable Fuel Obtainable Mt
Madras.

Cramer & Stevens, of this place,
says the Madras Pioneer are going
to use Haycreek coal for fuel during
the approaching winter, the test which
they made with the Haycreek coal re-
Gently having proved satisfactory in
every respect. They burned enough of
1t in their heating stove to be con-
vinced that it will answer nicely for
fuel and they are now making ar
rangements to have their winters
supply brought over from the
mines. The coal is said to give off
an unusual amount of heat the only
Objectionable feature to 1t as a fuel
being the fact that 1t leaves consider
able ashes. ,,Gg7l
Haycreek coal costs SO a ton at
the mines, and even with this tremen-
dous charge at the mines, it can be
delivered in Madras now for about 81
per ton. At this price II is said to be
about one-third cheaper than burn
ing juniper wood at $3.50 per cord

Good advertisements are like good statesmen,
because they explain to the prospective buyer the
points of the article of which he knows nothing;
this alone makes many sale. But the advertise
ment goes so much further--it enters the home of
and is read by thousands, while the salesman is
talking to one person.
If party enters your store to examine an article
you carry, and by your talk and price you sell
him the article, then that talk and price would make
good ad. for you if inserted in the paper, for it
may influence many as it influenced the one--but
be sure and select good live paper for your

have had the reputation of being unre-
liable, but in spite Of their Ill repute

Dict and Sickness.

1t is broad rule that boiled milk
and buildings made with milk agree
more frequently than anything to re-
store sick person. When beginning
to restore a sick person to more ordi-
nary diet begin with white fish, boiled.
Plaice or sole boiled in milk is excel
lent. Never give potatoes when the d.
gestion is bad. In place Of bread give
toast. Often there is a craving for
acids. In such cases give lemon juice
diluted with water and sweetened with
sugar when allowable or with saccha-
rim in diabetes. A craving for green
Btuffs should always be satisfied Ma
