The Advantage of Buying Now.


If business man read in his
trade journal that he could get GER
tain stock for rs cents that would
cost him $1.00 later, he would trav-
ell long distances and borrow mo-
ney to get the goods. If he had
business manager that neglected such
an opportunity he would be fired.
At the same time some men let
just such chances go in daily life.
They read in the newspaper adver-
tisements that a dealer is selling
for $500 what ordinarily would cost
$3.50 to $500. They let the chance
go because it seems too small to at
tract them. Yet if all these oppor-
tunities are improved, the cost of
living can be greatly reduced.
Women are pretty shrewd in
these matters, and don't let many
chances slip by to buy goods that
they really need. They recognize
cularly trade is naturally a little
slow. Dealers are all the time Of
fering special bargains in order to
clean out their stocks.
There are two scales of living cost
on which you can run a family. One
scale is based on indiscriminate, hap
hazard buying, running into the
first store and buying the first thing
offered, without making any effort
to find if any competitor is selling
any cheaper. No business man can
run a factory that way. A family
can be supported that way only by
running into debt or going with
out things one might just as we'll
have
The other way to run a family is
to buy in the cheapest market The
way to find out what the cheapest
market is, is to watch what dealers
make the best offerings in the news
papers. The family that watches
for bargains should be able to re-
duce its living costs from 10 to 25
per cent.
For the great majority of peo-
pie this advice is needless, as they
already watch the newspaper adver-
Using closer than they do the daily
news. But some families who growl
about the cost of living have a good
deal to learn in this respect.

This Almost Beer.

Near beer is spreading its amber
tide from point to point in America,
even in places where it's stronger
prototype still flows. Containing less
than per cent alcohol, it requires
no license to vend, and in Washing
ton, d. c., and other cities is dis
pensed at many places that sell soft
drinks.
Near beer is made at breweries,
and gratifies growing taste for
mild brews. A glass of it is not as
stimulating as a glass of coffee. II
seems to be a decoction from which
most of the hops have hoped out;
but as it looks like beer and tastes
like beer it must ever be regarded
with suspicion not to say misgivings
by the cold water legion. 1t foams
just as if it were wicked. Shall we
not abstain from all appearance of
evil, as Paul babe the Thessalonians?

What CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
If any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
romalcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
