WHY ADVERTISED
STORES SUCCEED

Because people have formed the
habit Of looking first in the news
papers to see what bargains are
offered.
These are not times when one
starts on hit or miss shopping
trips: Prices are high, and peo-
pie do not buy things until they
absolutely have to, or until they
are offered some bargain which
they believe has special value.
When a woman finds that she
needs certain article, the first
thing she does is to look over the
newspaper advertising. She makes
a note of the stores that make
special offerings in that line.
she visits these stores first. By
the time they have hauled out
their stocks for her to look at, the
chance that non advertised
store can get her business on that
purchase is about equal to the
value Of last years cattle show
ticket
And in looking over the adver-
Using for things they want, most
women find other things offered
at prices which they believe it is
economy to accept.

o month far famed! For festive days
and nights renowned,
Joy fraught. with hallowed benedictions
/crowned;
Life's annual clearing house for retro
spective thought,
Where pensive memory recalls the smiles,
the tears
The hopes and joys Of youth, the loves OF
vanished years,
And signs to see the havoc, sad, that
Time has wrought
o hoary month! In regions of the north
and east
The song of bird and ripping of the
brook have ceased,
And Natures thousand charms of sum-
mer days have fled,
There Boreas reigns, fierce god of wind
and storms;
And winter all of verdure into brown
and white transforms
And leaves no trace of life and beauty
sped.
happy month! When keen anticipation.

Flies swift on wings of ardent love to
greet
With gifts the friend, the lover or the
kindred near.
AS Winter closer draws his icy fettered
chains
The heart expands and love unselfish
reigns
And speeds it's largess to the ones most
dear.
Illustrous months of most illustrious
birth!
Good tidings, peace and joy to all the
earth
A heavenly choir announced when Christ
was born.
No other birth such mighty portent bore,
This Prince of Peace whom heaven and
earth adore.
How thrills the heart at thought Of

o CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements Of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits. especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated. however. the sure way is
to take m or two Of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper.

A Red Cross Seal From District 9.
selling those Red Cross stamps
/ took many long and weary tramps;
And sometimes l got awfully cold,
But, the colder / got, the more ] sold.
There were only eight of us in school,
But we kept On selling, whether
warm or cool,
And at last we reached the three dol
lar mark
Because we sold from dawn till
dark.
Then, our teacher sent for four hun
dred more,
And we sold as we had sold
before.
Within a week they were all sold,
And seven dollars u hands did
hold.
Then, one sunny winter day,
Our teacher sent the dollars away
To the boys in France and the sick
at home.
So this will end my Red Cross poem.
