II IL Mistake

Many have the idea that anything
will sell If advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True. a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that Is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success Of worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
Of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes. trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting public.
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised In purchasing well
advertised goods. especially an article
that has n national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.

tary, has laid on the senator's desk a
letter from Senator Dolliver which
was written last Wednesday and re-
ceived here Friday in Senator Bris-

his regret that he is not able to come
to Kansas to assist in the campaign.
He said:

month and am now getting able to

suited with all the rest and they con-
cluded that by concerted attack they
could put me to the bad. 1 have re-
formed the lines, however, and think
have them all skinned. My doctor
tells me- however, that it is out of the
question for me to do any campaign
