THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence,

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out of sight and are soon forgotten ?
The reason is plain the article did not
fulfill the promises of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to medi-
cine. A medicinal preparation that has
real curative value almost sells itself,
as like an endless chain system the rem
edy is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in need
of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has so large sale.
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-ROOt is due to the fact
that it fulfils almost every wish in over ,
coming kidney, liver and bladder dis
eases, corrects urinary troubles and |
the uric acid which causes
You may receive a sample bottle of |
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

Cough Medicine For Children.

Never give child cough medicine
that contains opium in any form. When
opium is given other and more serious
may follow. Long experience
has demonstrated that there is no better
or safer medicine for coughs, colds and
Group in children than Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy. 1t is equally valuable
for adults. Try it. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful drug. For sale by all

NEW MODEL STREET
SIGNS FOR MANHATTAN.
After Long Study q Satisfactory Type
Has Been Evolved In New York.

The problem Of providing street
signs Of the best possible type for the
borough Of Manhattan, New York city,
y one to which Borough President
Marks has given long and careful
study. He insisted upon finding. II
possible, type Of sign that would
enable people to determine definitely
and at glance the name Of the street
or avenue on which they might be.
and also the name Of the cross street
or avenue toward which they might be
looking: that these signs should be
legible at a considerable distance: that
they should be SO placed In relation to
street lights as to be readily visible
at night as well as in the daytime, and
that they should also satisfy the most
exacting conditions as regards attrac-
tiveness and economy. As result Of
this study type has been evolved
which meets these requirements.
! The new signs, like the old. are
placed on lampposts at street intersec-
lions Oh 1iagonally opposite corners.
The sign consists Of a steel plate TWEEN.
ty.two inches long and seven and one
half inches high, having at the center
Of the top a round projection eleven
and one-eighth inches wide at the base.
with a radius Of five and 0ne-eighth
inches.
On the main body Of the sign plate
IL indicated the name Of the street or
avenue which the sign parallels; on the
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1915-09-30

round projection at the top is indicat-
ed the name Of the cross street or
avenue. The lettering Is white and
-four inches high, on dark blue back
ground enameled on the plate. The
sign plate is held in a bronze colored
skeleton steel holder. into which 1t is
inserted from the top. The sign plates
are reversible and can be seen from
either side. The holder is SO designed
rs to afford a rectangular framing for
the name Of the street or avenue which
the sign parallels, and an oval franz
ing for the name of the cross street
or avenue. The holder or frame is
made as fat as possible, all unneces-
sary ornamentation being omitted not
only to enhance the dignity and good
appearance Of the sign, but also to pre-
vent as far as possible the face Of the
sign from being darkened by shadows
such as are cast by the projecting orna-
mentation on signs Of other types now
used in the city.
On each pole there are two Of these
frames splayed at an angle three de-
grees greater than that at which the
two streets intersect. This excess an.
gle is for the purpose Of having the
sign slightly turned toward the OBJ
server. The frames are fastened to the
post by means Of circular steel traps.
The new street signs are practically in
destructible.- City.
