We revise our prices
every day. As goods are
received in the daily
course of business we add
only "A small uniform
margin to the cost of
the goods plus our low
operating expenses. This
system always makes
our prices right, and the
lowest that are consist
emily possible.
Our high degree of ef-
ficiency in the conduct of
our business and our low
rent and other operating
expenses, give us an ad-
vantage in our field that
is unequaled and unex-
cclled and entitle us to
take the lead in the mat
ter of prices.
Advertised prices on
groc ceries, vegetables,
fruits and meats are not
a safe basis for the pub
lie to do its shopping on,
as such prices are often
used as bats" to get
people to come to the
store and as a rule are
not consistent.
The following is given
to illustrate the absurd
ity of such bats" We
know such practices are
not to your best interests
and therefore do not re-
sort to such practice in
asking the people to give
us their patronage; we
can sell you navy beans
at SC per pound, but they
do not cook as well as
those we are selling at
Il little higher price,
therefore, we do not ad-
vertise Navy Beans &c
per pound" and let you
experience the disap-
pointment after you buy
them. We have Peas
in No. . cans that are
selling at 7c per can, but
after comparing them
with better peas you will
be glad to pay a little
more for a better grade.
Likewise, we have string
beans that we are selling
at lOc per can. Regular
sized catsup at 10c per
can; corn at l0c per
can; pork and beanG &c
can, coffee at 2Sc per
pound, etc, etc; but
these are prices on the
most common grade of
goods that you ordinar-
lily do not use and that
we do not care to feature
for the reason that you
can get so much better
values for only a little
more money and that
will be cheaper in the
end. Furthermore, we
could quote Crisco or
anything else at cost or
below cost and then
make up our losses on
other sales. So we could
so on and Juggle' prices
and figures to a finish
but it would not benefit
you in the least and you
could not respect the
Method"
Figures and prices do
not mean anything un-
less II ON f. S STY goes
with it. Our business
principles were formu-
lated and put into prac-
tice as a shield to protect
our customers against
all SHARP Practices -

RECORD BREAKING
CROWD IS PRESENT
At POST NETTING

The largest attendance in the his
tory Of the James Bledsoe Pos Of the
American Legion was at the meeting
Thursday night, About se~yenty-tiye
were crowded into the Community
Room where there were not nearly
enough chairs to 60 around. The Ell
thusiastic members were glad to sit
on the floor, however, as they viewed,
with feeling congratulatory to the
local organization, the membership
which has grown so rapidly in the last
few weeks.
Seventeen members have been add
ed to the Post within the last three
days, and they are still coming. The
ones who have been trying for so long
to create an interest in the American
Lgion here and who for a short time
felt discouraged with the results Of
their egorts, feel now that they are
being repaid, and that they have here
one Of the Invest posts in the country.
The James Blcdsoe Post is n of the
very few in the state which has
women as members, and for that it is
also proud.

Gas and wind in the stomach ac-
companied by that full, bloated feel

evidence Of the presence Of excessive
hydrochlOric acid in the stomach.
creating sO-called "acid Indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause too much acid irritates the
delicate lining Of the stomach, often
leading TO Eastritis accompanied by
serious stomach ulcers Food fer
ments and sours. creating the dis
tressing gas which distends the
stomach and hampers the normal
functions OF the vital internal organs,
often affecting the heart
It is the worst Of folly to neglect
such a serious condition or to treat
with ordinary digestive aids which
have no neutralizing effect on the
stomach acids. Instead get from any
druggist a few ounces Of Bisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in
a quarter glass Of water right after
eating. This will drive the gas, wind
and bloat right out Of the body.
