have joined together in extending
an invitation to the people OF the
entire State and peninsula to visit
Wilmington on this occasion.
Spring Style Week is planned
primarily to show the people OF the
State and peninsula just what Will
mington stores have to offer IN the
way of up-to-date merchandise. In
order to attract out-of-town visitors
the merchants have planned to pay
car fare from all points in the
State on the purchase of a certain
amount. At the same time Spring
Style Week is planned primarily to
familiarize the people of the pen
insula with Wilmington's stores,
and to further the slogan adopted
by the Chamber Of Commerce a
year ago, eff you can t buy 1t at
home buy it in Wilmington"-in-
stead of going further.

Wealth Evenly Distributed

Kansas, with greater per capita
wealth than any other state and
fewer rich men than almost any
other, believes its wealth is more
ideally distributed than that of
any other State in the Union.
There are many men and women
of considerable wealth and many
thousands in comfortable circum-
stances, but there is not a single
swollen fortune. The state s
wealth amounts to 81, TAB for every
man, woman and child within its
borders. In January of this year
$14,32S was spent for new motor
cars on each business day and
So $50 for secondhand cars. There
are almost $4,000 cars in the state,
one for each 4S persons.
In the four years the states in
heritance tax was in force it was
found that only three -tenths of l
per cent of the persons who died
left estates worth more than $50.
600, and less than 10 per cent left
of more than $4,000.

A well-known musician who writes
very illegible hand once sent an
unusually hopeless scrawl to friend
The latter studied it a minute, gave
it up in despair, and then sat down
and wrote in reply. Il shall be most
happy to dine with you tomorrow at
six. Kind regards to your wife.
Yours, etc" in less than half an
hour his friend appeared, breathless,
at his door. There's some misunder-
standing" said he, anxiously. Il wrote
you note asking if you could play
the piano part of the trio at Browns
recital and here you've sent me an
acceptance of a dinner invitation;
I'm sorry, but | didn't invite you to
dinner" Well" returned the other
blandly, Il didn't suppose you'd really
sent me an invitation to dinner But
| couldn't read word of your note,
and In that case hereafter I mean al
ways to take it for granted that you're
asking me to dine" For one of his
correspondents, at least, the offender
now writes legiby.

Use OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
For Bilious Attacks, Constipation and
All Liver Troubles. Dangerous
CalOmel Gives Way to
DOdsOn's Liver Tone

Every druggist in the State has no.
ticed great falling off in the sale of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place.
"Calomel is often dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson's Liver
Tone is perfectively safe and gies
better results" says Hesterly Drug
Store.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by Hesterly Drug Store
who sell it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of sluggishness,
you have only to ask for your money
back. 1t will be promptly returned.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting purely vegetable remedy
harmless to both children and adults.
A bottle in the house may save you
days work or keep your children
from missing school. Keep your liver
working and your liver will not keep
you from working. Advt.

Still Crying.

The statement issued by Bilbo last
week that since his announcement for
governor that Brewer and a subidized
press was camping on his trail is too
contemplate to notice if it wasn't for
the fact that one or two fanatical edit
itors of the state have made much to do
over it. The calm observer can well
afford to smile when he compares this
statement of Bilbo in 1914 with the eff
forts of a certain faction in 1911.
