DROPSY TREATED FREE
Franklin Miles, NJ. D., LII. B., the
Well Known Heart Specialist,
Will Sent 1878 Worth of
His New Treatment Free.
Many Hopeless" Cases Cured After
5 to 20 Doctors Failed.

At first no disease is apparently
more harmless than dropsy, a little
swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet,
ankles, or abdomen. Finally there
is great shortness of breath, smoth-
ering spells, sitting up to breathe,
cough, faint spells, sometimes nau-
sea and vomiting, even bursting of
the limbs and a lingering and a
wretched death if the dropsy is not
removed.
DR.. Miles has been known as a
leading specialist in these diseases
for 26 years. His liberal offer is
certainly worthy of serious consid-
GRAFTON. Another opportunity may
not occur.
The Grand Dropsy Treatment con-
sists of three dropsy remedies in
one, also Tonic Tablets, and Pura-
Laxa for removing the water. This
treatment is specially prepared for
each patient and is at least ten
times as successful as that of most
physicians. 1t usually relieves the
first day and removes swelling in
six days in most cases.
Mr.. r. Burfford, Bannister, Mich,
tapped every week. Cured after
four physicians failed. Mrs. Olive
G.. Van Leeren, Fairport, n. Y, says:
THE swelling in my limbs went
down the first day and night after
began taking your treatment and
has never returned" Miss Lieu
Baldwin, Cridersville, o., cured after
being confined in bed four months.
Mrs. Elvina Sonders, Decatur, Nebr.,
aged II years, suffered 80 years.
Cured after 10 physicians failed. Mr..
John T. Alexander, Elwood, H., cur
ed after failed. Many other cures
sent upon request.
All afflicted readers may have DR..
Miles Dropsy Book, Examination
Chart and SIS Treatment free.
We would advise you to send for
them before 1t is too late. Describe
your case. Address DIR. Franklin

Advertising the Farm Sale.

Cedar Rapids Republican: H. A.
Dunlap, an auctioneer, has been
reading the farmers a few lessons on
advertising. He finds that some
farmers who have public sales skimp
their advertising and the lay the
blame on the auctioneer. Mr.. Dun
lap says that the farmers should use
advertising space in the newspapers.
They have relied too much on hand
bills. They are good, in spots, but
they do not supply the whole need.
The newspapers nowadays go into
all homes and the people read the
newspaper and the advertisements.
Mr.. Dunlap says that once in a while
he is asked to cry sale for man
who says, Don't you suppose that
twenty-five bills and local in the
newspaper is enough advertising"
When that sale comes off the man is
always disappointed in the results.
But there are others who look at
this business in the right way. Says
Mr.. Dunlap:
Il will mention one sale and the
way it was advertised. This party
got out 500 large bills and ran the
full sized bill in the newspaper.
Well, we had one of the largest
crowds / ever saw at a public sale.
The man invoiced his goods at
$500 and the total receipts were
a little over $4,000. All the adver-
Using cost is $35. Did it pay? Mr..
Dunlap says he knows at once the
difference between a sale that has
been we'll advertised and one that
has not been well advertised. The
different spirit is seen on the sale
at once. A well advertised sale
draws the people and the people
come there in the right spirit. Mr..
d. draws the following conclusion
from the men of the greater busi-
ness activities of the world:
Never skimp advertising money
spent for printers ink. 1t will
bring big returns when you have
a sale. Take the large world today
that spend millions of dollars annu-
ally for advertising. 1t surely pays
them, as they are increasing. their
advertising system every year. The
people who are climbing to the top
of the ladder in business are the
people who believe In advertising
and do lot of it in a clean and
legitimate way"
In other words farmers have come
TO the same conclusion as the buis-
ness man-namely, that advertising
pays. Publicity is the greatest sim
gle force in the world today. 1t is
the selling agency of the world.
There are men who make livings in
business without advertising, but
they are not the men WIFI build up
large business enterprises.

about the trick he thought had
played him that father let me bear all
the blame.
81 thought that wasn't fair of him,
and 1 felt pretty badly over 1t, for all
of the four or five days it took me to
think of scheme to get even. had
to think up good one, for it was hard
to fool father. l got mother to help,
just little. by telling him she thought
the run was mighty light She had run
the bricks herself for two or three
days. Then I said the same thing to
Neighbor Haines before father came
out to camp that night, and added: DO
you suppose anybody could be stealing
syrup? IT would have been easy to
do so; but, of course, nobody would
But HaineS was the suspicious sort
who'd be sure to think Of somebody who
could be blamed, and knew he'd tell
father and he did Next day father
concluded there really weren't as many
bricks as there ought to be- and then
1 told him I guessed wed better watch,
and as l was pretty tired that night I'd
turn in early and be able to keep awake
next night; that if he didn't mind
wouldn't go back to camp that night
while he was finishing supper I said
I'd go throw down the hay for morning,
but In reality 1t was TO get ready. /
put on about four old coats, plenty to
change my shape, and an old cap he
? had never seen that / could slouch
down over my face, but nothing extra
on my legs, for 4 meant to need them
for running. Mother kept father till
late dusk. on some preteXt like 1
wanted her to. and by the time he
came in sight of the fire there l was
dipping syrup with the big ladle into
a pail. He didn't want to scare the
thief till he could make sure who it
was so he would dodge from tree to
tree, slipping up on me- and when he'd
got as near as l thought safe / caught
sight of him and began TO run, he
after me. He could run as fast as l
could, but / knew where 1 was going
and he didn't. I'd picked out a trail
to give him a good run, and I'd ended
1t down where we had made our sliding
track on the way to school that winter
The snow had packed hard, and once
in a while TO "slick-er-up" we had
poured water over it on a cold night,
and it was kind of in the shade so that
quite a bit OF IL was left yet. for all
the thaw and the dirt had spoiled 1t
for sliding. We were going a good
clip. but / had let him pretty nearly
catch me by the time we reached there.

up handful Of snow or ice from some
shady hollow from which 1t wasn't all
gone and drip syrup from No. kettle
on it and make what we called maple
wax, just like soft caramels, but
heaps more toothsome, at least l can't
remember ever to have tasted anything
since that compared with 1t. Then
we played most of the outdoor games,
modified when necessary by temporary
rules to suit conditions. If we were
playing puss in the corner only desig
mated trees could be used as corners;
or If 1t were 1 spy, certain bounds
were observed, and SO on. Then after
we were all too tired either to run or
to yell any more we would gather
round the fire and tell stories. The
tricks we had been playing on one
another didn't seem so funny as the
old time tricks they'd tell about, but
1 will give you n sample of each sort.
Uncle Hadley was about SO then, L
think, and Uncle Wits children were
almost grown-in all there were four
families of us cousins, II to 20 years
old, and grandfather was past 80. /
haven't any recollection of grand
father except as he was then, almost
blind, quite deaf and much given to
nodding half asleep over the fire. and
yet at times he would happen to think
OF some story of the old days and tell
about 1t as though 1t had just hap
pened. He had been a Quaker, but
when he married grandmother. who
was not Quaker. he couldn't belong
to the congregation any more; but he
always used what they call the plain
tongue" that is. he said thee" and
thou instead of you" This is the
story uncle told IL:
1.-TWO Of our neighbors were Quakers.
too, you know, Friend Forsythe and
Friend Henderson. and one night father
told me they were coming over to help
tend fires that evening. And he said:
Now. / wish thee would take as big a
back log as thee can manage and leave
it down by the foot log. About
o'clock I'll tell thee to go home TO bed,
and when thee gets down to the creek
throw the log in to make as big a
splash as thee can and yell. loud. and
then hide and stay hidden. Don't an
Bwer when they call, but when l call
thee will know II is time to answer
II did just as he told me, and. of
course. they thought l had fallen in,
and father didn't call me until Mr..
