Collier interviewed.

A representative of the Cour-
Ter called on Dir. S. R. Collier
this week and asked him what
was being done in the suit of the
Sewell heirs brought in the Fed
eral court against himself and
Others to recover certain mineral
rights near Camel City. The
Doctor said that his attorneys,
Fogg and Nickel, had his an
swer to the suit about prepared
and that the action would prob
ably be set for trial as soon as
the answer was filed.
When asked how he felt con-
corning the outcome of the ac-
ton, he said that it was a big
suit and much valuable territory
involved, and that he had been
informed that the plaintiffs were
boasting that they had So, 600, 600
to spend Or win, and that they
have a number Of the best law
yers in the State. He said that
the fight would be to a finish,
and that with him and his asso-
ciates were lined up the solid cit
izenry of this and adjoining
counties and that he had no fears
as to the result. That this was
the best oil field in the State and
he supposed the Sewells would
contend for every inch Of the
territory. The Doctor said that
he, his associates and their attor-
neys had on their fighting clothes
and tibet the Sewells would find
that this suit was going to be
more than mere child's play.

ginning Of our business career
we asked our customers to make
30-day payments. They re-
sponded readily, and we can say,
honestly, that it has cheapened

their families.
Now, friends, will you go one
step further with us? We be-
lieve the time is NOW RIPE for
business concern to be run on a
cash basis. We are in a position
to pay you a cash price for most
any product you have to sell.
We want to do this, and then you
will have the cash to buy any
goods you wish from us. Now
let us show you the immediate
result of such a principle in bus
mess, once it is established.
With a little ready cash we can
take every discount the whole
salers allow; we can also take
advantage of every threatened
advance, thus saving you the
difference. Then again. "easy
credit puts a premium on dis
honesty. The honest customer
has to pay the bad" accounts
as we'll as his own. Did you
ever think Of that? You can fig
ure that-eat for yourself-it's
easy. We have not told you all
we would like to, but in conclu-
sion let us add that if we do not
save to YOU the margins we have
indicated we do not ask for your
trade, but if we DO, may we not
expect it?
All persons owing us must call
and settle before December LIST.
We give you notice in advance
to make payment easy, and give

A Confidential Letter.

To the Public:
We again have the pleasure Of
taking the public into our con-
fidence. This has been a good
year for us. 1t has been so good
we felt it was due our friends
over the county, that we spend
a few dollars in telling them so,
and trying in some small measure
to show our appreciation. We do
thank each and everyone for
their patronage, recommends
ton to friends, and more than a !
for their confidence. Because
we recognize that the biggest as
set any business man may have
is the confidence of the public.
While we have been busily en-
gagged either in the store or on
the yard, yet we have learned a
few things thoroughly worth
while. We saw at once that
ONE of the wrong customs of
merchandising, hurtful alike to
merchant and customer, was
longtime payments. A custom
harmful to the merchant because
it keeps his capital at arms
length where it has the least
power; injurious tothe customer
because itresults in higher prices,
and quite often, after good Gus.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipatcd, and frequently
serious consequences result Not
being able to realize his own COIL
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted TO women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, s3I Charles ST.,
Luzernc, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say OF them:
Some timo ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
We like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor Of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take il. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised In using Dr. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape Of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
arc taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence OF other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box Of IS doses costs
only rs cents Never sold in bulk.
