Tn 1898 Dr. A. L. Reusing of Akron, Ohio, had just completed his course at medical college. He had paid his way through medical college by working nights as telegrapher. Overwork and over- study had undermined his health, and he consulted many specialists, but they all pronounced him in- curable and said that he could live only few months.
 But Dr. Reusing determined that if he must die, he would find the cause, since none of the physicians could diagnose lis disease posi- lively.
 Knowing that without oxygen the body dies, he began a thorough investigation of the effect of oxy- gen on the blood. He studied Prof. VirchowS famous "Cell Theory" which proves that the body is only collection of cells and that there are twelve ce11-saltsI that nourish and maintain the eel1sI of the body. Just as . flower droops and dies for lack of watcr,l 60 the cells wither and die for lack lof their natural cell-salts.
 He knew that the red blood cefis4 carry the iron in the blood and that iron attracts oxygen just as al magnet attracts steel. He learned that by increasing the amount of iron in the blood, the iron at tracted the oxygen from the air in| the lungs into the blood exzctly| as the magnet attracts steel Hel found that oxygen oxidizes or| burns up the impuritie@ germs and torn-doun cells that sr1 touna| in the blood.
 7 Through carefm researcH hel leaned the cefl-safts that natursI requires to feed the cells and main tain health. This led to the dis covcry that the health of the body Is governed entirely by the health of the blood and that if the blood is rich in oxygen, plasma and iron. and supplied with the natural cell salts that nourish and maintain the health. vigor and vitality of the reils, the whole body giews with hezath. strenxth and energy.

1T PAYS TO SHOP EARLY
Merchants Say Most Shippers Are
Convinced

1t took long time to convince
the public that 1t pays to do Christ
mas shopping early, according to
Abilene merchants. The merchants
are advising their customers not to
let the expectation that prices will
come down prevent the custom of
acting in accordance with the oft-re-
peated slogan.
But the same reason urged for
early holiday shopping really ap-
plies to seasonable shopping. The
fall rush will soon begin. Wise
shoppers will buy now. They have
wide range of choice. They can
take their time to look around
They can ask the salesfolk all about
each article The salesfolk, In turn
give them information worth while
They are not under pressure and, con-
sequently, eager to complete sale
in the shortest possible time, so As
to make way for those who are wait
ing to be served.
Abilene stores are well stocked and
ready for business. There Is little
chance for fall in the price of the
goods on hand. There is no good
re0sOn why those who expect to buy
shout delay.
