If everything was sold in as liberal and fair a manner as the below named drug. eists are selling Schifmann's New Con- centrated Expectorant, absolutely no cause for complaint or dissatisfaction could possibly arise from anyone. These druggists say-"Buy bottle of this rem. edy and try it for Bronchitis. Whooping Cough. Severe Cough, Group or any Bronchial Affection, and we will return your money, just the same as we do with Schffmann's famous Asthmador, if it does not give satisfaction. or if not found the best remedy ever used for any of these complaints" Why not take ad. vantage of this guarantee and try this medicine and get your money back, rath. CT than buying another purely on the exaggerated claims of it's manufacturer or on the strength of testimonials from others and run the chance of getting something worthless and also wasting your money?

A MORTGAGE

A mortgage is a strange insti- tuition. It makes a man rustic, and it keeps him poor. It is a strong incentive to action, and a wholesome reminder of the flee ing months and years. A mort gage represents industry, be- cause it is never idle and never rests. It is like a bosom friend. the greater the diversity the closer it sticks to a fellow. It is like a soldier; it never hesitates in charging nor fears to close on an enemy, It is like the sand bag of a thug; silent in it's appli- ca ion, but deadly in its effect. Like the very hand of provi- dcnce, is spread over all creation, and it's influence is everywhere visible. It is like the grasp of the devil fish, the longer it holds the greater it's strength. It will exercise feeling, energy and lend activity to the sluggish brain. No matter how hard the debtor works, the mortgage works hard CT still. It makes a fellow sour, cross, selfish, unsociable and mi serable, ant rarely does him any goed to eXerc St him.
 Of all the persons we've met, we like the ruStler the best and We can readily forgive the few errors in his politics or religion, for he rustles. He encourages a d enthuses and hurries along the slow going. Industrial pros perity follows in his trail and mental development is his. He goes from strength to strength. He is the salt of the earth.
