Progressiveness of city or town is

saler. A community that is not organ
lied has no chance of improving local
conditions or expanding. The Retail
Merchants association is constructive,
protective and educational.
1t is constructive by securing i'm
provements, creating better streets, and
forms an agency for the cooperative
business force to expand. 1t is protec.
tive in defeating adverse local and state
legislation, keeping out fake advertising
schemes, eliminating trade abuses, ex-
posing frauds and dead-beats, and bring
ing competition within the bounds Of
reason and business.
1t is educational in it's meetings, as
talks on buying and selling, improving
local conditions, the friendly relations,
that spring up and the knowledge that
your competitor is imbued with the high
sense of economy, better stores and
methods rather than the idea of driving
anybody out Of business.
The Merchants association is the
logical factor for developing commun'
ity because it is business organization
and not place for schemers and those
with axes to grind.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
Of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which Is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1909, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as q kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Rem
edy.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its remarkable record Of
cures.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish sample bottle,
write to DR.. Kilmer 8 Co., Binghamton,
N. Y. Mention this paper and they
will gladly forward it to you absolutely
free, by mail.
Swamp Root is sold by every druggist
in bottles of two sizes-50c and $1.00.

Don't Cut the Price.

A department store of this city which
is notorious for cutting prices on stan
dard goods of reputation, devoted con-
siderable of their space in recent Sun
days papers advertising optical goods.
In this space they advertise "Shur-o "
eyeglasses, but say "we do not cut the
price on Shur-on eyeglasses, as the man
ufacturers will not guarantee as genuine
any glasses sold for less than their ad-
vertised price"
One would naturally ask if this de-
partment store was under the impress
sion that the public would refuse to ac-
cept their statement the the glasses sold
were as represented, and that it would
require the guaranty of the manufac-
turer to bolster up their claims. Is this
not, however, an indirect way of say
ing that these particular goods are sold
under a contract price and that they
dare not cut the price established by the
manufacturer A Gillette razor costs
the purchaser S., no matter where or of
whom he buys it. They are sold on a
contract price which no dealer dare cut.
If this plan will work in eyeglasses
and razors, why will it not work in arti-
cles of consumption.-Bull of The
Cincinnati Retail Grocers Association.

Selling on Credit.

Selling on credit we assume is done

over your list you will occasionally, and
maybe frequently, find accounts that
