If you pat him on the head and speak
gently to him he knows what to do
Immediately If it is at your gate he
will run into the house and hunt for
the kitchen. We know because We
have tried dogs, and we cannot un-
derstand why some men are
mean to dogs, man faithful
and affectionate friends OF most hu-
man intelligence.
When Mr.. Mimnaugh spoke this
parable we knew right OFF what to do.
Confidently making our way to the
little Office in the rear of the store
We handed the bill to Mr.. Mimnaugh's s
able and reliable bookkeeper and cash.
ier, Miss Lille Mann, who so amia-
bly, and gracefully, as we'll as neatly
and expeditiously, accomplishes her
duties in that large and prosperous
establishment. All we had to do was
to hand her the bill and tell her what
Mr.. Mimnaugh had said. With a
pleasant word and smile she made out
the check, carried it to Mr.. Mimnaugh
and he signed it and brought 1t for
ward with the harmonious invitation
to come again
The amount was only s21-large for
some people, but not for J. A. MINI
naugh-but it would have been paid
the same had it been s10o. The point
we wish to make is, that there was no
questioning the bill, no asking to see
copies of the paper to verify the meas
urement, no disagreeable part whatso-
ever to it, nothing but pleasantness all
around.
Is it any wonder that We felt like
writing it up? Other merchants and
business men to whom we have pre-
sented bills could have paid as prompt
ly and agreeably as Mr.. Mimnaugh
paid the other day. But no, they are
not that kind. They like to tell col
lector to "call again" like to show him
that they "are busy They don+
stop to think that the collector is also
busy and that it puts him to lncon-
venience and trouble to have to "cail
again" and probably find the same
person in the same Or similar busy
attitude And they also seem to for
get, or at least not to realize, that
when they send their bill collectors out
they expect them to return with the
money and not meet with the irritat-
ing, disagreeable words, "call again
Mimnaugh does a hourishing busi'
ness. He is a large and liberal adver'
tiser, and pays his bills promptly. He
appreciates the value Of printers ink
and tells us that cit pays to ADVERSE. ,
His liberality in this respect, com

A coon MAN AND MERCHANT TO

The Herald and News reporter, III
his dual role of bill collector, ran Up
against something out of the ordinary

is oftentimes harder than gathering

To other stores from time to time with
hills for collection. Very often when
tbe p,oprietor was not busy he would

would tell us to "call again. This
eollector-reporter has always treated
that cordial invitation politely, al
though he has often thought that II

What Is Uric oAcm?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Elk.
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
Of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked Kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, ~drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble Is only .
matter Of toning up the kidneys, and this
il best done by . treatment with Anuric,
three times Q day. Anuric is . recent
discovery Of Dr.. Pierce Of Buffalo, n. Y,
and can be obtained e any drug store.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruf or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at irst-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten q cloth With
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at Il time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
Wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible luster,

Get a % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove

and lots of it if you will just try a lit

Funston. General PerShing will retain
command until a permanent successor
is anne by the war department.
General Funston was 81 years old.
Ever since March, 1916, when he was
placed in command of all United States
forces on the Mexican border, General
Funston had worked at an unusual
pace. At critical times in border de-
velopments he frequently remained on
duty "a hours at a time. The handling
of regulars disposed at various stations
on the border. the Pershing expedition,
and OF later rearrangement of regular
troops while providing for the return
of national guardsrnen. have entailed
an enormous amount of detail work,
probably exceeding that which fell to
any commanding general of the United
States army since the civil war.

Funston prominently to the attention
