OSCAR CAMPBELL
GIVES ADVICE TO
INDIANA CITIZENS
Urges Them to Profit by His
Experience. Says He Was
Nervous, Restless at Night,
Very Bilious With Spots
Dancing Before His E yes.
Had Little Boils All Over His
Body, But Dreco Has Wiped
Away All of These Troubles.

II wish every good citizen of Indi,
ana could profit by my experience with
the greatest medicine l ever took
that Dreco," said Mr.. Oscar Campbell,
the widely known merchant and far
mer of Wheeling, Delaware Co., Ind.
Il used to have spots dancing before
my eyes; dizzy spells; was so nervous
couldn't sleep sound and my blood
was not in good condition, for small
boils would break out all over my
body My entire system was weak
and rundown when l started taking
Dreco. but that medicine seemed to
go right to the bottom of my troubles
and wipe them out.
1--WE taken two bottles of Dreco and
my nerves as steady as a clock. I
sleep sound every night; haven't had
q dizzy spell now in weeks and the
spots have disappeared before my
eyes. Dreco has cleansed my blood,
for the boils are all gone and my skin
is as smooth as a baby's.- feel great
and give all the praise to Dreco."
Dreco acts on the bowels and re-
lieves constipation, thereby removing
the cause of many troubles. 1t will be
noticed after taking Dreco the head
aches fail to appear; the nerves are
soothed; sound sleep is induced; the
appetite increases; no more dizzy
spells: the stomach digests the food
without having gas to follow, and the
kidneys perform their duty Of strain
ing the impurities from the blood,
thereby putting stop to rheumatism
and other disorders.
Mr.. Powers, the we'll known Dreco
expert, has headquarters at Thistlefh-
waite's Drug Store. to meet the local
public and explain the merits of this
great remedy. See him today.-Adv. Y

wouldn't do for his people. He has
been married but was divorced five
years ago.
He always has money and has a
machine. He tells me to live with
my husband and treat him right and
give him a square deal, and IL he does
not make me home had better get
a divorce. l don't believe in divorces,
but can't see what to do. He has

Your friend seems to be very COM
petent adviser. You and your hus-
band should begin to live in a diff
ferent way. Instead of drifting, he
ought to secure permanent employ
ment and provide a home for you.
If you work, it is ridiculous that your
husband should receive any of your
money. Keep it to yourself and save
what you can.
If your husband is unreasonable,
and does not fulfill his obligations as
a husband, it seems to me that you
would be perfectly justified in secur-
ing a divorce.
Your friend is quite right in saying
that he cannot see you while you are
a married woman. Give your husband
another trial and you may find that
he is dearer to you than your friend.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: How should
! serve luncheon for small com.
pany!
Is It proper to servo the plates in
the kitchen and take them to the
table!
Please tell me how tho different
courses are served? Is the salad
brought on with the vegetables or as
course by itself? la.
II soup always served?
YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.
You probably will find 1t helpful to
got book at the library which will
tell you at length about arranging the
table and serving. Many cook books
contain this information.
II there 10 butler or maid 1t is
all right to serve before taking the
plates to the table. II, however, you
serve your own dinner, you will find
It less confusing to serve when the
guests are seated at tho table.
The courses are as follows:
LIST. Soup.
End. Fish.
2rd. Meat and Vegetables.
4th. Salad.
9Th. Dessert.
9Th. Coffee.
In order to save steps. the salad
Is often brought on with the meat
course. -s.r ....s. .~
It is not imperative to have a soup
course. Very often fruit cocktails
are substituted. Grapefruit cut up
and sugared makes very tempting
fruit cocktail. If desired, other fruits
can be added.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: An article
about spiritualism appeared in your
columns. The writer of the article
said spiritualism had wrecked his life
ard that communication with the So
called dead was Impossible. Let me
say emphatically that no never had
the proper knowledge OF the subject.
SrGitualism, when handled prop
crly, never wrecked any human life.
Any religion, I care not what it is,
will get the best of you, ii you are
not intelligent and broad-minded
enough to comprehend the fact.
How dreadful to feel that when you
leave this body it is the end. l used
to feel that way too, but thank God,
tho Great Universal Power Of Love,
have found q different way. Spirit
ualism is a science. philosophy and
religion of continuous life, based on
demonstrated facts, by means of me-
diumship with those who live in the
spirit world.
Spiritualism is Gods message to
mortals, declaring that there Is no
death-that all who have passed on
still live--that there is hope in life
beyond even for the most sinful.
