"Vacation Is Over

The past few weeks have
broken into our practice,
and many of our patients have
been irregular.
The heat and dusty roads,
chautauqau, fair, trips and
visits for our patients have
been equally good excuses for
US to "play hockey" and have
not been in the Office az closely
as usual, and those who drop
ped in at these times finding US
gone will accept apologies, and
if they do not complain more
than we do Of those who have
been irregular in appointments
during this period, all will be

several towns represented by
those who will make regular
trips here or will stay in town
for regular treatments, includ-
ing Modale, Honey Creek, Oma-
ha, Beebeetown, Pisgah and

Too often our patients who
are relieved of their suffering
will drop out or become irregu-

started earlier in the summer

Advertising Merchants

get the idea that the merchants
Of those towns are trying vigor-
ously to check. mate the mail
order houses. There was never
a time when advertisements
were 80 eagerly read as now.
People are studying economy
and looking anxiously for bar
gains. The merchants in the
aforementioned towns are max
ing some very tempting offers
and they will pull a lot of trade
from a considerable distance
outside the limits of what
would be called their proper
bounds. In such cases the peo-
pie throw sentiment to the
winds and trade where they
can do the best. Thus, on ac-
count of tempting ads of mail
order houses and the equally
tempting offers of the mer-
chants of some towns, trade
limits are widening in the vicin-
ity of some and narrowing
about others. Edgar Sun.

A Nice Victory.


That the Executive COMMITTEES CT
the Illinois Grain Dealers associa-
tion selected Cairo for the 1914
meeting of the organization is quite
a compliment to the local committee
who visited Chicago for this pur-
pose.
More than four hundred dele
gates are expected to attend next
years meeting, which means that
Cairo will have an opportunity to
show Off its new leyee system to a
representative from nearly every
section of the state.
Landing conventions is an eco
nomical way of obtaining effective
advertising. When a city can bring
three or four hundred men to it and
show them what it has, a walking
advertising is created. This man
will convey your message to an
other man, the second will tell it to
third and so on until the hun
dreds are reached
The four hundred or more dele
gates who WI. attend the Grain
Dealers meeting will carry Cairo's
message to all parts of the state and
this is just what Cairo wants done.
Cairo should make every effort to
attract conventions OF all sorts to
the city, II is the only cheap way
of advertising that will bring re-
suits.
