the pIumDer; zones couru not have
paid his printing bill the printer would
have had to stand off the milk man !;
White, the carpenter, would not have
got the money for the work he had
done for the milkman and Smith would
not have got the money which White
owed him for lumber.
This is all so simple that it requires
no student of economics or professor
Of mathematics to figure it out. Any
one can see that when Smith sends
that dollar to Chicago or some other
city where the mail order houses -four
ish, that dollar is gone SO far as Smith
and Jones and Green and the rest of
the people in Smiths town are con-
cerned. That dollar will never come
back to pay any bills in Smiths town.
And the thing that stands out most
striking, but is most often overlooked,
is that Smith, the man who first spends
the dollar is hurt just as much when
he sends that dollar out of town as is
the home grocer from whom he might
have bought his groceries.
Now just multiply this one dollar by
a hundred or a thousand or ten thou
sand. One dollar may not seem to
make much difference in the average
town, but a thousand dollars or even
a hundred dollars does make a differ
ence. Just as one dollar will pay a
dozen or a hundred small bills, a hun
dred or a thousand dollars will pay
dozen or a hundred big bills. When
Brown, the grocery man, owes a thou
sand dollars and can't pay it, he is
headed for the bankruptcy courts.
When Jones, the plumber, can't collect
the money which is due him from
Brown or maybe dozen Browns, he is
headed in the same direction as Brown.
And so it goes all around the circle
until it hits Smith or a dozen Smiths
who have sent their money out of town
to add to the fortunes of the mail order
men.

IF you can't buy bond buy thrift
stamp is the latest patriotic slogan.
1t seems to the Herald that the man
who can afford to buy a bond and
doesn't is a Stacker and a traitor. No

buy thrift stamp.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised all at once
drop out Of sight and are. soon for
gotten? The reason is plain--the
article did not fulfill the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A rnedi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need
Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, q preparation ! have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for In almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that ] know Of has 50
large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue.
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
due to the fact that so many people
claim it fulfills almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.
