INTERESTING LECTURE
los REGISTER for Course at Meeting at EIks
Club Last Evening

He took for his subject last evening,
Retail Selling and Store Service" the
points of which he brought out were,
the progress in business, in keeping
with the progress in the other activi-
ties of life. The new conception of
what constitutes good business prin-
ciples, ''store for the customer, not the
customer for the store; profit and wag-
es come only for the service rendered.
More skill required in business. The
great demand for trained men and wo-
men in business. A profession with
unlimited opportunities. Importance
of the human element in business.
What the salesman or saleswoman
does, decidedly important, as how to
attract the favorable attention; arous-
ing interest in the merchandise; how to
assist the customer to select merchan-
disc best suited for their needs that
they may always be satisfied custom
ers; the power of suggestion, retain
ing the good will of the customer; and
how to reinforce advertising to make
it effective
He brought out emphatically that
the person who displays unusual abil-
ity compels recognition.
Where are you going? Are you
standing still?

There is more Catarrn in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

The Senator has a pleasing address,
but makes no pretention at oratory.
He reviewed the two leading political
parties and gave his idea of them
and his reason for being a Republi-
can. He reviewed the present admin
istration and gave some inside facts as
to the inner workings of men in the
passing of legislation including the ac-
tions of the President. He made a
strong impression upon his audience
and got them to thinking over the sit
uation as he presented it. He made
an excellent impression and deliver
ed what we consider an able argument
why the country should make a change.
All the county candidates were present
at the meeting and mingled with the
voters at the close.
