Photography

Thirty-fve years experience in
the photograph business in Brook
field has taught me that honesty is
the best of policy, and to use cheap
materials in order to make big
profits would not pay. 1t costs me
more than double to produce doz-
en- photographs what it costs any
other photographer in Brookfeld.
Why? Because | use the best of
everything. 1 use the lightning
process only in making sittings.
Photographs that have been made
in Brookfeld not two years ago
have been brought to me to be re-
produced because Of fading. Why
do they fade7 Because they are
made ON cheap paper with cheap
chemicals by the lightning process.

duties. How often it is that the
store and the home seem to clash,
but there ought not to be any col.
lision. 1t is often the case that the
father is the mere treasurer of the
family, a sort of agent to see that
they have dry goods and groceries
The work of family government he
| does not touch. Once or twice in
a year he calls the children up on a
Sabbath afternoon when he has a
half hour he does not exactly know
what to do with, and in that half
| hour he disclipines the children and
chides them and corrects their faults
and gives them a great deal of good
advice, and then wonders all the
rest of the year that his children do
not do better when they have the
wonderful advantage of that semi
annual castigation.
The family table, which ought to
be the place for pleasant discussion
and cheerfulness, often becomes
the place of perilous expedition. If
there be any blessings asked at all
it is cut off at both ends and with
the hand on the carving knife. He
counts on his fingers, making esti-
mates in the interstices of the re-
past. The work done the hat goes
to the head and he starts down the
street, and before the family have
left the table he has bound up an
other bundle of goods and says to
the customer: Anything more I
can do for you today, sir" A man
has more responsibility than those
which are discharged by putting
competent instructors over his chill
dren and giving them drawing
master and music teacher. The
physical culture of the child will
not be attended to unless the faith
er looks to it. He must sometimes
lose his dignity. He must unlimb-
er his joints. He must sometimes
lead them out to their sports, for
get the severe duties of life some
times, to fly the kite, and trundle
the hoop, and chase the ball, and
jump the rope with his children,
ought never have been tempted out
of crusty and unredeemable soli-
tariness. If you want to keep your
children away from places of sin,
you can only do it by making your
home attractive. You may preach
sermons and advocate reforms and
denounce wickedness, and yet your
children will be captivated by the
glittering saloon of sin unless you
can make your home a brighter
place than any other place on earth |
to them. Oh! gather all charms in
to your house,! If you can afford
it, bring books and pictures and
cheerful entertainment to the house
hold. But, above all, teach those
not by half an hour twice
. year on the Sabbath day, but day
after day and every day teach them
hat religion is a great gladness,
that it throws chains of gold about
'he neck, and it takes no spring
rom the foot, no blitheness from
;he heart, no sparkle from the eye,
40 ring from the laughter, but that
her ways are ways of pleasant
less, and all her paths are peace"

DRUGGISTS FIND ECZEMA CURE.

The local druggist is naturally slow to
recommend a remedy for any disease; he
will make a recommendation as a rule.
only after he has been thoroughly con-
vinced- For he is not looking merely for
one sale but must have permanently the
confidence OF his customers.
Perhaps no remedy IN the druggists q
stock has been more widely endorsed by
druggists themselves than the specific &c
zema cure, oil Of wintergreen. thymol and
glycerine, as compounded in D. D. D..
Prescription.
Among hundreds OF letters from promi-
nent druggists we quote a few:
Mr.. HigginsOn, Of the Higginson Drug
Co. Wichita, Kansas, says:
We have number or very enthusiastic
people who have been cured by D. D. d.
Prescription These cured patients do as
much 10 increase the sales as any adver-
tising. You cannot make your advertising
too strong. as we are ourselves enthu-
siastic in pushing the goods

oils, Mimi: T. p Taylor & Co, Louis
vile, KY; Woln-W Wilson Drug Co. St.
Louis. Mo-; A Daur. Terre Haute. Ind.
and scores Of other leading druggists have
written the strongest kind Of endorse
ments of D. D. D. Prescription.
We ourselves have carefully investi.
gated this remedy and find that IL is q
simple compound Of oil Of wintergreen,
thyznol. glycerine. and other healing in
gradients. Our long experience with this
remedy has given US the greatest conf
dence in its merits. and if any Of our
friends in this town are now suffering
from eczema or similar skin diseases. they
should not despair. Call at our store
and ask about d. D. D. Prescription.
