EFFICIENCY LECTURE AND
PICTURES JANUARY S

Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the merchants of Charles Town
to bring to this town, on Monday,
January 5, 1920, at 2:30 o'clock in
the Opera House, the noted lecture
and m otionpictures, entitled, "The
Troubles of a Merchant and How to
Stop Them," The lecture and pic
lures will bring to the merchant,
clerk, and professional man, one of
the most fascinating stories on retail
merchandising and store efficiency
ever presented. Mr.. S. F. Fannon
vii lbe the lecturer, and, by moving
pictures and stereoptican views, will
show and explain some of the latest
and best methods on storekeeping-
arrangement of goods, window dis
play, how to write newspaper ads
and how to get best results there
from-and many other interesting
things relating to retail business.
TIL creature of the evening will be
three reel film showing "The
Troubles of a Merchant" mis-
takes that usually occur in the aver
age store, the Indifference among
clerks on account of lack of proper
supervision, bad system, poorly ar
ranged stock-which resulted in
losses and leaks in the business, and
finally caused the merchant to be-
come disheartened and about to give
up the struggle. The merchants ca
reer changed, however, after he
adopted a system that gave him
proper check on his goods and money,
rearranged his store and goods SO
that they attracted customers, and
taught his clerks how to become
more efficient through being cour-
teous and attentive to the trade.
The lecture and pictures bring out
many other ideas of interest to the
merchant, and are instructive as well
as entertaining.
These pictures have been shown
before some of the largest state and
national conventions, under the aus
pieces of Chamber of Commerce,
Board of Trade, Merchants Associa-
tions, and other business organiza-
tions, and have received the highest
commentator and endorsement.
The elcture and pictures have been
secured through the courtesy of the
National Cash Register Company, of
Dayton, Ohio. There will be no
charge for admission, and every
merchant and clerk in the city will,
no doubt, take advantage of the OPP
portunity offered and attend.

CONFEDERATION.
OF Interest to Charles Town Readers

For months Charles Town readers
have seen in these columns entnusl-
astic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills
by Charles Town residents. Would
these prominent people recommend
a remedy that had not proven rell-
able? Would they confirm their
statements after years had elapsed
if personal experience had not shown
the remedy to be worthy of endorse
ment? The following statement
should carry conviction to the mind
of every Charles Town reader.
J. G. Elliott, prop. meat market,
LOG S. Charles ST., Charles Town,
saws: 81 suffered for some years
with kidney and bladder trouble. l
had a dull pain across my kidneys,
which came by spells, especially
when l over-exerted. The kidney
secretions were unnatural, toe and
were scalding in passage. After
using two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills, the inflammation and pains DIS
appeared and my kidneys became
normal"
Almost fourteen years later Mr.
Elliott said: 81 seldom have any
trouble with my kidneys now, but at
times, there is uric acid poison In
my system. / always use Doan's
Kidney Pills and they never fail to
give the same good results"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

Helen NJ. Doyle and Jesse f. Trout
of Crystal Springs were united in mar
riage last Saturday in Glenwood
Springs, Father j. p. Carrigan officiat-
ing.
The bride attended the Garfield
High school and was graduated from
this institution with high honors two
years ago, after which she attended the
state university at Boulder for one
year. She has recently been teaching
the Crystal Springs school and it was
there that the romance began which
ripened into love and later made busi-
ness for the marriage license clerk at
the court house.
The groom has been employed on the
A. E. Sharp ranch at Crystal Springs
for the past three years and they will
remain there another year.

THE END OF THE ROAD

At $40 p. m. next Thursday, March
ID, is to be shown at the Orpheum the
ater that wonderful picture prepared
under the direction of the federal
health board entitled "The End of the
Road.' This is picture story with a
moral and it is particularly applicable
and valuable to girls and young women,
and especially those whose training
in certain lines has been neglected or
CLOSED over or brushed aside by their
elders.
The picture points a valuable moral
and it is for this reason that the U. s.
government is taking pains to have it
shown as extensively as possible through
out the country. 1t has been prepared
with great care and DIR. Horan, the city
health officer. has been assured by the
state board of health that there is moth
ing in the picture to give offense to any
hand there is much to cause serious
reflection which will result to the
great benefit of those who see it.
When we consider that this picture
was worked out by the health Noari
of the U. S. war department to teach
much needed lesson, our people should
certainly give it very careful considera-
tion.
The picture will be shown free and
all girls and women over 16 years OF
age are invited to see it. Girls under
16 years of age may attend the meet
ing if accompanied by parents or chap
erone. While the picture is being
thrown on the screen short addresses
will be given by Mrs. Mabel Stearns
Noble, a member of the Colorado state
board of health.
At Colorado Springs and Pueblo
where the picture has been shown, the
people were so we'll pleased with it that
they have sent in urgent requests for
return dates, and it is the plan of tho
state board of health to accommodate
them if possible. An effort is being
made to close the high school an hour
earlier than usual on next Thursday, In
order that the girls from the schoo
may have an opportunity of witnessing
this great picture lesson.

asked them to meet q certain day and
they would pray for rain. The crowd
came to the little country church, but
one did not want rain that day as he
had hay down. Some wanted rain to-
day, and they could not agree. The
congregation was dismissed and the
drouth continued.

behalf Of that phase of her work.
Miss Chapman was followed by II.

TRIP ENDED HERE BY DEATH

Especially tragic was the death from
influenza within the past week of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Moe at the Claudon
home in this city.
This young couple, who were in easy
circumstances, were travelling from
their home in Kendall, Wisconsin, to
Los Angeles, California, where they
expected to purchase a home and re-
main permanently.
While passing across Colorado on 4
Rio Grandc train they were seized with
a strange malady which developed into
mild delirium, their condition be.
coming SO serious that when they
reached Glenwood it was found neces-
sary to take them from the train and
provide them with medical care.
Taken to Mrs Claudon's g the young
couple were attended by a physician,
and nurses did everything in their
power to relieve their suffering and
help them toward recovery, but the in
sidious disease had gained too firm a
hold upon them and 20 much time had
elapsed before they were given medical
lives proved futile.
Mr.. Moe passed away Thursday noon
of last week, while Mrs. Moe lay in an
adjoining room, totally unconscious
