"CASH AND CARRY"
PLAN URGED BY
CENTERVILLE MAN

Omar Bertram, of Centerville. has
taken up the fight on old H. c. l..
(high cost of living).
AS an exponent of the help-the-mer-
chant-to-help-you policy, Bertram be-
lieves the new plan of cash and car
ry," already inaugurated in some cit
les, would help Richmond folks in the
more and more one-sided battle
against Brer Wolf.
BY the "cash and carry" plan, the
customer pays cash for his goods, thus
enabling the merchant to get his goods
on cash percentage basis The
customer also delivers" his own
goods, that is, he carries it home with
him, thus eliminating the expense Of
merchant delivery.

Backache? Rheumatism?
Rundown?

Those of us who are past middle age
arc prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twingcs of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no need of this,
as the new prescription, Anuric, is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way Of the Kidneys. Simply ask for
Anuric double strength for kidneys OF
backache, the discovery Of DR.. Pierce.
It will overcome such conditions as rheu-
1natisn, dropsicL swellings, cold extrem-
tiles. scalding and burning urine and
slecplcssness due to arising from bed.
