1T PAYS TO READ
Advertisements

Do not send your money afar--if
the thing you want is to be had in
your home city.
If "the automobile thought" is
making any place for itself in your
mind, read the ads. They will in
a short time. educate you as to
characteristics and prices OF cars.
You'll know one from another
and that's the beginning OF auto
mobile wisdom.
Store-news is home news Some
thing advertised today finds itself
in your home tomorrow-and the
"ad" brings about the transaction.
One Of today's ads may change
some one Of your buying plans-to
your profit
In your buying for the home It
is quite as profitable to KNOW
VALUES AND OPPORTUNITIES
as it is, in ether things. to KNOW
instead of "blundering through"
The bargain hunter has
evolved into the intelligent buyer
for the home-the woman who ex.
ercises as much ability in expend-
ing money as it required in earn
ing 1t.
The woman who studies the ads
KNOWS that she is paying the
smallest possible price for her pur-
chase She doesn't just HOPE so.
The merchant who can protect
you on both quality and price in a
time when both are apt to fluctuate
unaccountably IL rendering you
real service.
Buy at your home city stores as
a matter Of self -protection-and OF
those home city merchants WHO
ADVERTISE!
The dollar you spend in your
home city store stays in your
home city and SERVES. The dol
lar you send away ceases to serve
anybody in the city where you
make your home. esd
The merchant who Is using
larger space In which to give to
you the news OF HIS store deserves
your interested attention. He has
"a reason"-and YOUR INTER
ESTS are invested in that reason.

you say. Well, it is guaranteed to
perform miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arts
ing in the morning, drink glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in it. This is a
very excellent health measure. 1t is
intended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes-
tines of the previous days waste, sour
bile and indigestible material left over
in the body which if not eliminated
every day, become food for the mil
lions of bacteria which infest the

toxins which are then absorbed into
the blood, causing headache, bilious
attacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery,
sleeplessness, impure blood and all
sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject OF internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on

U. S. Cannot Explain.
Although as matter of fact, the
nation and the representatives {. the
nation stand back of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit the impression made abroad
will, of course, be that it is not so,
and that other governments nay act

is incredible.
The senate of the United States is
the only legislative body III the world
which cannot act when its majority

ion, but their own, have rendered the

At the same time the president au-

what rendered the situation even more
grave than it had been supposed was
the discovery that, while the presi-
dent under his general constitutional
powers, could do what he had asked

it had been found that there were GER

Many Cases of
Rheumatism Now
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots Of water and above all take
spoonful of salts occasionally to
keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps accu-
mulating and circulating through the
system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have
pleasant, effervescent Whitewater
drink which overcomes uric acid and
is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Advertise
