Investigate Before Buying

A campaign to educate persons of moderate
means against falling victim to sellers of bogus
and worthless stocks is now being waged by the
Better Business Bureau of Indianapolis Ac-
cording to officials of the Bureau, great num-
Der of reports are coming into the office from
people who have been duped into buying stock
which is practically worthless
The purpose of this campaign is to make
people think and investigate before buying
stock, particularly when they do not know any
thing about the company the stock of which is
being sold or person selling such stock.
Many people are too prone to believe every
thing that is told them by the stranger stock
salesman, and they hesitate to ask him ques-
tions,'' says George E. Gill, manager of the bu-
reau.
''The buyer allows himself or herself to be
flattered by the salesman of fake stock who in
fers to the buyer that he or she knows the mean
ing of all the financial terms the seller so glibly
uses. Many people hate to admit that they do
not know much about speculative stocks. These
statesmen know this and accordingly make extra

checked up. These extravagant claims are al
ways verbal-these statesmen will not commit
themselves so enthusiastically in wrting'

MUCH RHEUMATISM
Local Druggists No-Cure-No-Pay Offer
Attracts Many Sufferers.

If there are any rheumatic sufferers
who have not awaited themselves Of
this generous offer they should do so
at once.
Our best druggists state that if
Rheuma, the guaranteed prescription
for rheumatism in any form, does not
give any purchaser quick and joyful
relief they are authorized by the Rheu-
ma Co. to return the cost without any
quibbling or red tape.
Rheumatism is a dangerous disease,
and anyone who has the slightest faint
of it should drive it out of the 3ys-
tenn as quickly as possible. This is
what Rheuma did for many. 1t should
do as much for you.

friend, a home-lover, patriot Roosevelt is to
be honored not merely because he colossal

cause his conduct, in the face of any crisis, was

The memory of the Colonel Our fellow citizens
have checked over his career and added up the
total of his efforts and subtracted all the results
OF which they may not have approved in times
past, and they still find an overwhelming bal

favor.
He was twenty kinds of a man and almost any
one of us can approve of nineteen out of the
twenty kinds.
He has gone, and the accounting is all in his
favor His record has become an American asset
and no faction will try to claim it. The project
with which we are concerned will be non-partlsan
and it will require no conscious effort to make 1t
so. Roosevelt the essence of vigorous
Anericanism and he will be duly honored by
those who know themselves to be Americans.

marking an epoch which is undoubted-

known in its history.
After years and years 1t has, at last,
been recognized that alcohol is a det-
riment to morals and a danger TO life,
whether used by citizens in the largest
cities or in the smallest communities.
This is due, of course, to the effect
that alcohol has upon the human
system.
In action alcohol is a violent stimu-
liant. 1t irritates the tender mem
branes Of the body and thus binders
digestion, circulation, assimilation and
every other function, often destroying
vitality itself Alcohol has frequently
been known to cause hardening Of the
liver, to promott rheumatic pains and
seriously harm brain power.
There was a time when the extern
sive use of alhohol, for internal pur-
poses, might have been excusable
owing 10 the lack or knowledge that
this poison caused. 1t was due to the
same reason-lack OF knowledge-that
the Puritans executed some Of their
most intelligent and high-minded wo
men under the witch Ordinances, ii
believing that in so doing they were
casting out devils" Nowadays every
body knows this was wrong and the
practice Of the Puritans in this respect
will always remain as a blot against
those God-fearing and otherwise right
eOus people.
Since the injurious qualities of alco
hol have been acknowledged, the cues
ton IS, why should alcohol be issued
in medicines any more than sold in
beverages?" When absorbed into the
blood the consequences are the same
in either case.
Formerly it was thought that al
tinctures, fluid extracts and cordial:
required alcohol If statistics published

Good Evening
BY ROY X. MOULTON

She fingered at bridge till midnight,
The clock was triking the hour,
Her husband stayed home with the
children,
His face was a vision sour.
He was miffed at his wife's ambition
To gather the sordid pelf,
He'd a date at poker party,
And wanted some dough himself.
There was an old woman
Who wanted a fiat.
She had seven children,
So that settled that.
