Van Werten 4 KOpp Sell Them and

You eat food to keep yourself alive.
When you put food into healthy
stomach it is the duty of that stom-
ach to extract from the food all of
its nutritious matter.
This nutritious matter is passed
along to the blood, and in turn is
carried to and supplies life to every
part of the body.
If your stomach is upset it does
not extract enough nourishment to
supply the wants of the body and
naturally disease develops wherever
the body is weakest.
Stomach trouble or indigestion
causes dizziness, biliousness, nervous
ness. weak eyes, sick headaches,
sleeplessness, nightmare, waterbrash
belching of sour food, foul breath,
dependency, constipation and even

Where is the state of matrimony?
1t is in the United States. 1t is
bounded by hugging and kissing on
one side and babies and cradles on
the other. Its products are popula-
ton, broomsticks and staying out
late at nights. 1t was discovered by
Adam and Eve while trying to find a
northwest passage out of paradise.
The climate is rather sultry until
you pass the tropics of housekeep-

Does Advertising Pay? A Pertinent
Question.

Occasionally there arises from the
prehistoric past, some individual of
fossilized and ancient habit of mind
declaring that advertising does not
pay"
Should you meet any one making
such a statement ask him these
questions:
If advertising does not pay how
does manufacturer thousands of
miles away make somebody 60 into
the grocer's or druggists store in
your block and buy his goods?
If advertising does not pay how
does big mail-order house reach
out and lift business practically from
the next door neighbor of the coun-
try storekeeper?
If advertising does not pay, why
do the greatest department stores
in the world run page after page,
day in, day out, at enormous cost,
in big newspapers, and pay large
sums to the men who write and il
lustrate their announcements?
If advertising does not pay, why
do you see small merchants in every
city in the land starting to use small
opdCC Ill IHc newspapers oAO tAOA
rapidly increasing the amount of
space they use?
If advertising does not pay, why
does anybody advertise?
The question as to whether or not
advertising pays has long ago been
definitely settled. Advertising always
pays if it is handled the right way.
The merchant who would get the
maximum results from his business
must advertise. The difficulty which
confronts him is to decide where to
advertise, how much to spend and
how to get the greatest good from
his expenditure. - Newspaperdom

Up at Creston there has been a
hard fight made by the saloon men
to secure a new consent petition, but
after the votes were canvassed it
was found that the petition lacked
six signatures of having the required
number of names, several names
having been thrown out. The case
was appealed to the district court,
and Judge Evans settled the matter
on a technically. 1t seems that the
publication of the notice of the sub
hitting of the consent petition was
made in the weekly Independent

ords of the board of supervisors
the Morning American had been des-
ignated as one of the official news
papers of Union county, and the law
required that the notice be publish

a lead of 40 votes for the Simsbury
man. There were two absentees,
Simson of Enfield and Abel of Lee
