Nature Cures. the

There is an old saying that
Mature cures, the doctor takes
the fee" but as everyone knows
you can help Nature very much
and thereby enable it to effect a
cure In much less time than is
usually required. This is partic-
ularly true of colds. Chamber

lungs, linquifes the tough mucus
and aids In its expectoration,

Read the Ads

When the stores were few and
there was no competition adver-
Using was simply waste of
money. Its reading was equally
wasteful of time, for why should
the people read the ads when
after reading them they had
little or no choice to make as to
the stores from where to buy?
Times have changed, however.
Stores have irc 'eased, the manu-
facturers have multiplied, and
substitutes have been added to
the extent that a careful follow
ing of the weekly ads have be-
come a necessity. Advertising
today is just as much a news
matter as is any other news item.
1t tells the news concerning
goods of various kinds and makes.
For this reason no one can afford
not to read carefully every ad in
the paper.
The street placard, which
simply mentions the name of a
firm does not mean anything
nowadays. Today people can
not afford always to trade at
the same store where their
fathers and grandfathers traded.
Economy, like charity, begins at
home. Newer stores offer newer
advantages in prices and in
quality. People should take ad-
vantage of these. The store that
has the best line of goods is will
ing to have the people know it.
For a means Of saving and for
the information they contain
you should then read the adver-
tisements.

She then walked out.
