WHY THE GOODS SELL
People Come Long Distances to Buy
Helibergs Diamonds-A Remarkable
Display of These Beautiful Gems
Engagement Rings and Sentiment in

91SiuSoos
1t has been demonstrated that when
a dealer has the goods and gives them
proper publicity he can draw trade
from distant points as we'll as at
home And that Is what William He'll
berg. the jeweler, is doing. A woman
living in northern Iowa read about
Hellberg's diamonds and came all the
she bought too, one of the finest dia-
monds In the store. Prosperity is
making diamonds more popular than
they ever were before. 1t Is fact
that prices have increased especially
the wholesale prices. Hellberg was a
fortunate buyer, however, and 1e has
not only got the largest and best line
Of diamonds ever shown in the city,
but he is pricing them right.
Talk about rings! 1t Is worth while
to look at Hellbergs stock, even If you
don't wish to buy. One consignment
Oh CHTee tJOUSdiIu loT tIIe HolludyS
just arrived, and more are coming.
Years of experience has taught He'll
berg the art OF satisfying every taste,
and the buyer is the gamer because OF
this knowledge. There is a little senti-
ment In the business too, and that Is
why Hellherg takes special pride In
his engagement ring business. His
preparation for this business has been
on the same scale as his other lines.
In fact there is no line in which He'll
berg has not exceeded all previous eff
forts this year. No one should miss
an opportunity to see the display.
Competent help has been secured for
the first of the month and every Gus
toner will receive courteous treat
ment. Hellberg reiterates his request
that buyers come early and make their
selections For small deposit on
purchases goods will be held for
Christmas.

Nervous energy is generated and
stored in the brain and spinal cord and
from these centers is distributed to all
parts of the body as needed. The
amount each organ receives depends
supply Is scanty organic action is slow
and sickness of some character is the
result This in brief explains the i'm
portance Of the nervous system.
To keep the nerves strong, we must
not abuse them by either physical or
mental misuse. When injured from any
cause they must be made strong by in
telligent methods. The use of stimu-
lants and violent drugs will not serve
the purpose.
Distinguished medical specialists
agree that there is no treatment that
equals Wheelers Nerve Vitalizer and
give a reason that it sustains, nourishes
and strengthens without stimulating
and intoxicating, and that the nerves
absorb eagerly the much needed prop
critics it contains. And while it is mild
and soothing, it is also energetic and
forcible in its effects, that it builds up
every department Of the nervous syst

of the Wheeler treatment especially
pleasing is that Improvement begins
