FOR TWENTY YEARS.

For twenty years the Kelley Insti.
tute has been established in Green's
boro. and fts twentieth year Is going
to he its record breaking year. More
men are being treated at Kelley to-
day than ever In Its history. Colonel
w. III. Osborn. who has been the
president of the institute for almost
all that time, certainly has cause to
congratulate himself. and to be con-
graduated. on the good he has done.
The Kelley Cure has proven d sue
cess. and Thousands OF men who have
graduated at Kelley willingly bear
witness to the fact. There are In
the State of North Carolina hun.
dreds or men who feel that Keeley
not only saved their lives, but pro.
longed their lives. They are among
the most successful and influential Of
our citizens. There h no town In
North Carolina but what has III
Kelley graduates. In some towns
there are dozens of them-men who
were permanently and effectually cured
five. ten. fifteen and twenty years ag0.
This wonderful record Ii one to b
proud of.
The man who feels that he wants
to quit drinking whiskey knows that
the keeley treatment will cure him.
Men not addicted to the habit Of
whiskey drinking wonder why other
men continue to drink year after year
and refuse to take advantage Of the
Kelley Cure. 1t Is because OF Z faise
pride; because Of the general belief
Of every man who drinks to excess
that he doesn't need the treatment
that he can quit Ii he wants to. But
he knows he can't--he knows he haS
tried It time and again--but False
pride keeps him away. Thoae who
have tried the Kelley treatment viii
tell you that 1t Is q success. Some
men have taken the cure and returned
TO thir cups-but every man return-
ing will tell you that ne returned
simply because the CROWD he was with
was drinkiug; Just because he keisi
he could drink -again--but no u1nn
will tell you that he ever had q de-
sire for strong drink after taking the
wonderful cure.
This being the twentieth annives-
sary Of the establishment Of the
Greensboro Kelley Institute, the only
one in North Carolina. all the men
who have been cured there; who owe
their lives. their happiness and th0tr
success in life to quitting drink. should
make II q point In this year to induce
at least one unfortunate to take i'd
vantage OF the certain benefits ofksr.

Half the satisfaction of living in the
home consists in the comfort you get
from the furniture therein. Ideal
rest demands ideal chairs. couches and
beds but ample provision should be
made for the casual guest. There
should be plenty OF tables about and
the spare room must extend a silent
but cordial welcome--fo first inn
pressions are always lasting.
To give zest to appetite let the
dining room too, be inviting with its
center table, buffet. serving table and
