What the "Ad" Means.

The advertisements in a newspa-
per, if the merchant means what he
says, are very valuable part of the
paper to the readers. Through them
the people can learn where they can
secure bargains and thus save them
selves money. For this lensun the
merchant who has bargains to offer
and who always does 10y the custom
er just as he advertises that he will
do, is the man whose "ads' are read
with interest, and who is sought
when the readers wish to buy. The
prosperous merchant, when he has
bargains to offer, advprtises the fact
to the people because lie wishes them
to come ard see him; and then he
does Just IA he advertised to do.
People are always looking for bar
gains. This being SO, it is the part
of wisdom for all of The merchants
and business men of Henderson, who
wish to increase their trade, to get
in the columns of the Gold Leaf, and
keep a live, working "ad" in its col
umns every week and by this means
keep his name, business and bargains
constantly before the people.

What the Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the body once every three min
utes. The kidneys filter the blood. They
work night and day When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of impure
matter daily, when unhealthy some part
OF this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms-pain in tn back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheu-
matism, govt. gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregu-
lar heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy,
deposits in the urine. etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.

The farmers are feeling now as new

which has been sore subject for
years with the salaried people OF the
cities. The wise farmer raises to Il
very great extent the things that 20
upon his table and it is not high
priced provisions that causes the
farmer worry. Farm animals and
farm machinery are sky high com
pared with the prices few years ago;
labor is the same. The man who
purchases a farm today must pay
almost as much to property stock
and equip the place rs he pays for
the land. Good mules cost anywhere
from $500 to 800 II piece. III fact
no horse or mule of sufficient size for
steady work on Il farm can be pur-
chased for less than $115 and 5000.
Cows, hogs, and other farm stock
are almost as high in proportion.
