One day this week I had a great
experience. I was sailing along
down Main street on my autogoeas-
Ter. Just as ! was was about to pass
the bank whore I borrow money
to live on between pay days, l re-
membered that I was broke again.
So swerved suddenly to the left,
intending to make a convenient land
ing right at the curb. But In some
manner I lost control Of the contrap-
tion and It turned turtle. fell
sprawling all over the thing. Ac-
cording to psychology that should
have been the extent Of the mishap,
but the laws of physics, In which
gravitation and momentum some
times strive for the mastery, entered
into the situation before I had finish
ed my fall. Momentum in this case
overcame gravity and I kept going,
for I was heading down hill. / hit
the hard street on my right knee
and slid down the street till l
stopped Just as I was In the act
Of looking to see how many people
had witnessed the embarrassing and
certainly very undlgnified manner Of
dismounting, I heard fellow across
the street say, laughingly, "Stay with
it, was not in a mood to see the
Joke (if there was any) in my un-
fortunate fall. When I picked my
self up I found that had a hole In
the knee Of my trousers and some of
the skin was gone from MY knee,

Note-Lest some Of you might not
understand, "autogoeasier" Is a new
word I coined lately and means In
simple English a bicycle.

70 ASHLAND PROPERTY OWNERS
You have house and lot close in

in bad condition and you have not had
.any revenue from it for long time;
you forget it until the tax collector re-
minds you OF another year gone by and
dhen you grumble about the high taxes
and hard times and you can't rent this
.or you can't sell that and Ashland is
no good and you are going back where
YOU came from, etc. Now listen, We
know a party who owns small piece
of acreage one mile and two-tenth from
the postoffice-no, it's not in the city
limits--he has comfortable five room
bungalow, garage, barn, sheds, and
say, he has his own water system, two
wells, one for domestic purposes, the
other for irrigating, but he hasn't time
with his other duties to properly care
for this and he wants to trade it for
that vacant, rundown, expensive place
of yours and thereby get something. he
can tske care of and at the same time
give you chance to realize a rental
or revenue from the place he now lives
in and he is not going to leave Ashland
either, having regained his health here
after paying doctor bills for eight years
before coming here. If interested in

Itisa grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
Ifyour work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
It possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to inUgorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, tourish the nerves
and build strength.
