ton made by H. f. Hardtner for
the reforestation of a vast tract

the timber has been cut.
The process involves the caring
of the preserve for forty years up

subject to the laws of the State,
at the end of which time it is be-
lieved the land will have been re-
forested and of greater value than
before it's primeval forests were

We Can Save You Money
With Our New Catalogue.

We will have next month an announce
ment Of interest to every customer OF this
store.
This will be concerning a new cata-
logue, from which we can sell you any
item that you can possibly want. This is
a new arrangement we have made to add
to our store service and to increase the
scope Of our usefulness to our customers.
Here is the situation:
On everything We carry in stock we
can defeat retail mail order competition.
The catalogue houses know that hey can
not compete with the country merchant
on the lines that he carries in his store.
We might as well admit, however, that
the big catalogue houses have been
squeezing US somewhat on these large
lines.
In a town like this and in store the
size that ours necessarily must be, we are
unable to carry the many thousands OF
dollars investment that would be necessary
should we offer a complete line Of furni-
ture and other big items that you use
around your home.

The greatest horror and problem
that has ever confronted the m edi.
cal world is the White Plague the
solving of which has been kept
more prominently before the pub
lie during the visit of DIR. Fried
man whose claim to have found
a serum for the treatment of tu-
berculosis, has been the subject of
such discussion and experiment
for the past few months.
As the Country Review says;
Generally the medical profes-
sion is prejudiced against the
Friedman serum for the treatment
of tuberculosis. At the meeting
Of the American Association at
Washington sort of Scotch YER
dict was rendered and generally
the profession evinces lack of faith
in it. This adverse sentiment has
been accumulated by the peculiar
temperament the secretiveness and
the apparent money-madness OF
DR.. Friedman Nevertheless the
public has some cause of COM
plant against the physicians also.
Weeks ago a number of patients
were treated with the serum in
different hospitals in this country
and Canada. While the time has
not been long enough to determine
the merits of the treatment. GER
tainly some results either favora
BILE unfavorable or neutral have
been obtained Int SO far nothing
has been given out. While thu
profession asks people to bellev'
their conclusions they should a
least have the consideration Il
give them some facts upon which
to Justify their condolences. Daily
bulletins setting forth the condi
tion and progress of the patient
should be given to the press o
the country.
