brated medicine. the now famous
Indian scientist has come to the front
with an offer to give absolutely free

said: IL know that there are many
people who have been suffering for
years with some chronic disease and
many of them have spent large sums
OF money seeking a cure. l know
that these people hesitate about In
.vesting money In medicine because
they have despaired of ever getting
we'll, Thousands have sold me that
story and many thousands of the
same people have told me afterwards
that my treatment had cured them
after doctors and everything else had
failed. want to show these de-
spairing people that all the newspa-
per talk about my treatment is abb
true. ! want to prove to
limited number--no matter what the
disease no matter how long they
may have suffered, no matter how
blue and discouraged-that my treat
ment really and actually does ac-

HODGE RE-ELECTED sECRErARY
Has Held That Position Creditably
For 20 Years.

Success out OF failure for tn,
implement and vehicle dealer;
convention tuned to concert pitch,
was the expression of II. J. Hodgl

ton for the next year and Mr.. Hodge
was reelected secretary.
THE whole convention has been
school Of education" said Mr..
Hodge. "and 1t has come at the most
critical time in the life of the i'm
plement man. Never has there been
time when the profits were so
close, and so many failures through
out the country. The membership
of our association is 1900, but nearly
1000 dealers representing the Mid
die West attended the convention.
These men will return home better
and with an understanding
of their business. The mistakes of
the past have been learned and they
have been taught how to avoid them
and how to reap success. Fifty of
the largest manufacturers of imple-
ments and vehicles of the east at
tended the convention and agreed
to cooperate with the dealer in adj
and in spreading education
as to the cost of doing business. The
dealer has been taught by practical
demonstrations how to avoid care
Iessness in the expenses of the bust
ness, how to overcome the lack of
knowledge of the cost of doing bust
ness, lack Of adequate insurance and
lack of system, how not to over-buy,
attempt to control too many different
lines and not to expose stock to the
weather"
Those who attended the conven-
silon from Abilene were: S. M.
J. G. Landes, J. M. Walters,
4. r. Kugler, H. J. Hodge, H. A. Lott,
g. A. Hodge, G. w. Minick and H.
