Why Suffer
From Migraine or
Sick Headache?

Dr.J.J. Caldwell says that this exceedingly
distressing disease does not shorten life,
but does not appear to be durable. Suffer
ers from this afitetfon are condemned to
undergo the periodical attacks every few
weeks until they are forty years of age, after
which the ettacts are less frequent. and
finally disappear entirely. Palliative meas
ures during the attack are al that It is
possible to suggest, while care in the diet IS
the best preventive measure. An attack
may often be prevented by taking two
anti-kamnia tablets when the nrst symp-
toms appear, and one anr1-kanlnfa tablet
every two hours during the attack shOrreEs
1t, eases the pain and brings rest and quiet.
Anti-kamnia tablets may be obtained at
all druggists. Ask for Ak Tablets, They
quickly relieve all Pain

Salmon Of Fast Color.

And in this connection comes q
story, which is fairly well authenti-
Gated, of how one OF the salmon kings
started his fortune In the fish indus
try on the basis of the then despised
light-colored salmon. This man had
put up his cannery at location past
which the fish came in great numbers
on their way in to spawn. He was
right in his selection OF a site and the
salmon were caught in vast quanti-
ties. They were all. however. of the
light pink variety, and the fisherman
was In despair At that time no light
colored salmon had been shipped and
the demand everywhere was for sal
mon of an almost red hue. The man
canned his catch and sold It by means
OF a label which implied that 1t was
the only sanitary fab on the market.
The label read: This salmon Is war
ranted not to turn red In the can" The
most OF the catch went to the southern
states. and the drummers selling Il
did their business so well that In
many OF the cities Of that locality you
can hardly sell red salmon. The peo-
pie think 1t is spoiled. and has. there
fore, turned red in the oan.-Chrlstlan

The man who waits for the seventh

that the seventh wave is long time in

Business men. local and otherwise,

they would not be in business.

1t is doubtful II there be a local re-
taller in the country who could not
successfully cope with the mail order
and catalogue retailer would he but
try This the local merchant may not
know, but nevertheless il is an abso-
ute fact
There is Il retail firm in town in
Wisconsin which cOnspicuuuSly displays

der houses, upon the cover OF which is
pasted II notice that il will furnish
ANY article advertised In the catalogue

to the advertisement attached TO the
very letter
Mail Crdcr House Seconds.
The substantial local merchant knows

catalogue mail order houses are light
weight stoves; that the iron beds
shown in the advertisement matter as

trade as seconds" which no honest
or reliable furniture dealer would keep

- IS only on very rare occasions LnaL
patrons of a mail order house ever get
the worth Of their money when they
buy from the pictures i'm the cata-
logue. while, on the other hand, the
local retailer. If he understands his
business. buys his stock direct from
the manufacturers and iobbers who
have a reputation at stake and who
supply goods of quality to their direct
representatives, the retail merchants.
throughout the country
Prize Their Regulations.
The responsible high grade manu-
facturer and wholesaler will not under
any condition or circumstance sell
their goods to the catalogue retailer
at any price. Many instances are
known where catalogue houses secured
by trickery quantity of staple goods
of standard make and advertised them
as specials" at ridiculously low prices.
The manufacturers. in order to protect
their regulations and interests. neces-
sarily had orders sent in for the en-
tire stock or quantity Of the articles
through persons in their employ. They
did not propose to have their articles,
which were standard, advertised by
the side of inferior articles of light
weight and OF decidedly cheap con-
struction.
A Vast Difference.
There are numberless articles which
the catalogue house advertises as the
best on the market. among which are
paints. and it often agrees to fur.
nish an impossible guarantee with
this class of goods However. it is
very noticeable that ii never at
tempts to ship its paints into states
that require printed copy of the
analysis of the contents of the pack.
age.
The answer to this. of course, Is
that the goods are not as represented
In the catalogue. The up to date To-
cal merchant, Of course. is cOnversant
with these facts and can explain them
to his customers If given an opportu.
nifty, and he can also. if he understands
his business thoroughly. explain the
vast difference between the goods sold
by the catalogue house and those sold
by him.
Articles Challenge Explanations.
The cheap, dashy, fimsy article can
never stand alongside of the honest
reliable article without challenging an
explanation.
The business man who cannot meet
this demand upon him is not up to
date. and his education regarding the
line of goods he carries should be
touched up.
II the home town consumers are
alive and awake to their own interest
they can begin To educate the local
merchants by demanding from them
the information concerning the differ
ence in the quality of their goods and
the goods of the catalogue retailer. II
they are unable to explain they will
also be unable to render efficient serv-
ice to their customers.
II is time merchants of this kind
wake up to the situation.
