The Advertised Store Works
 For You

The store which believes in full publicity" and advertises accord ingly, is a store which is "harnessed to your task"-which is committed to your interests.
 There's interesting reading in the store ads today for the woman who plans to buy something to wear either for herself or for any member of her family.
 If there is a store ad in this is- sue which contains nothing of in- terest to you it will be because you have no buying problems to solve.
 The home is always "in the mak ing" The task is never quite com pleted. There's something else to be brought-and thus the house wife keeps in touch all the time with the store ads.

HOW TO FIGHT

but fear neither germs nor GermansI
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
| mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
1t is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is a suddek
onset of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade. If pain develops
In head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet .
every two hours, with frequent drinks
of lemonade. The pneumonia appears
in most treacherous way, when the
Influenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from a bad attack of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with good herbal tonic, such

roots and banks of American forest
trees, or his Irontic Oron tonic) tablets,
which can be obtained at most drug
stores, or send 10c. to DR.. Pierce's Inva-
