this by turning in the subscriptions.
Now, what these cheerful candidates
can do, the others can do. If some.
one else can get subscriptions,
why can't you get them? Don't
let other candidates get the advau-
tage over you, but get up aud try

fort In getting out after business as
you do in lamenting the fact that
you can't get the business and you

Salesmanship Counts Now.
When you go after subscription
do ii in a business like way-don't |
fiddle around getting to the point
come out poiut blank and say what
you want. You are bound to deal
with busy people whose time is worth

"Iight off the bat" and 80 times out

Don't listen to any reports that you
won't get a fair deal, FOR YOU
POSITIVELY WILL. Everyone
will be treated alike. No one is

given out, SO you need not hesitate
to cast your votes as fast as you get

who will be picked from the most
influential men in our midst and you
may rest assured that their count
will be tair and impartial.
Now Don't Get Nervous.
As we have already said this is
a critical time in this contest. The
nerves of the contestants are liable
to get what woman calls "jumpy."
Some who felt secure at the begin
ming are beginning 10 wonder
if after all they are 30 sure,
and wondering if so m e e
else is not getting dangerously
near in the running. That feeling
isn't pleasant, hut it's wholesome
and will stir you up to stronger ac-
ton. Don't be certain-you can't
afford it-make your lead sufficient
that you wilt not be taking any
chances and right now is the time
TO do it before the close Of Oppor-

isIation were adopted at the quarterly
meeting of Pomona Grange OF Kent

ton now before the people Of Kent
County that is equal in importance to
/ the suppression of the liquor traffic, and
| that We urge all voters to support only
such candidates for members of the

/ the suppression OF the liquor traffic by
adequate legislation and to favor the
maintenance Of the present "no saloon"

legislature be requested to enact a law for
/ the ins ectlon of Insecticides, seeds aud
leeds.

der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
tism, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-

lieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for rdding the
system of uric acid and driving out
an the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. II
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
ciple OF cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls.

a sponge, neutraizes, dissolves. and
makes the kidneys silt out and filter
away, all the uric acid and posons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used the very principle Of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system wirtrOUr results. There is
nothing else on earth Ike it. Il
