How did you find that out?'' asked
the American, obviously somewha:

Because you get your shoes shined
so often" was the startling reply. If
you were an Englishman you wouldn't
do that. Nobody takes such good care
of their shoes as Americans. II 1t

Of US fellows would have to go out Of
business and the sale Of blacking and
polish would fall OF one-half. Next
to Americans. Russians get q shine
most frequently. The English are the
worst of all. They get shine only
once q week. Even when otherwise
well dressed their shoes are gray and
out Of shape. II ever you want to
pass yourself OF for an Englishman

The ideal Family Laxative.


ls one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. It should have properties
which iasure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that Is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
. century and are for sale everywhere.

only ST a day for his personal
services on the road, when he
