HELPING THE PUBLISHER

Never advertise just to help the pub
Usher. This is not kindness to him nor
fairness to yourself.
We want to see every Minnesota
merchant a liberal adviser, but it must
always be done with the idea of help
ing his own business along. When you
look upon it as charity to the publisher
it is an insult to him and iti an insult
to yourself.
Sentiment is the ruination of most
business foundations, so that when you
advertise just to please the publisher
and help him along, you are exercising
a degree of sentiment which is unwar-
ranted and Improbable. No publish
er wants it and no publisher will ever
thrive under such patronage.
If he doesn't deserve the business,
don't give it to him. That is the way

Why then should we complain? Why

Our business? Our profits? Our

ever repay the debt we owe? The

our Best LlttIe imitation.

The catbird Is so called because the
note by which he is most commonly
known is like the meow Of a cat, but
as a matter of fact he initiates al
most every other sound he hears, says
the American Forestry association Of
Washington, whose nationwide bird
house building contest is attracting
great attention to the country's feath-
cred host. 1t has been said that the
catbird can initiate anything from a
squeaking cartwheel to the song of a
thrush. He sings along apparently
without knowing what he is going to
improvise next. In color this bird is
rather somber, being dark gray with
a black cap. He is one Of the most
common birds throughout the United
States, although rare west Of the
Rockies.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised. all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative 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 DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 m7ny people claim, that it fulflIs al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

MARKINGS or A HAPPY MAN
Good Habits and Wise Living Go a
Long Way Toward Securing
the Best in Life.

We have noticed the happiest man
many a time. He works for his liv-
ing. and he gets good one. One
thing we notice, he Is man of fine
habits. He saves his money and is
getting ready to buy some property.
He loves his home, plays with the
children. reads good books and keeps
company with his wife. Because Of
his good habits he saves little, which
will give him a chance to make an in
vestment.
And then there is another thing-he
is a reliable man. He does good
work. He is honest In whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
Just that much of honest labor. 1t is
this, largely. that makes him prosper
GUS and happy.
Water keeps Its own level, and so
do conduct and character and pros

VIII the consequences be. He can
not be one thing and his experience
another. A low-llved man may grow
rich and happy. but It will not be for
long. Anybody can tell what's the
