Last Sunday was a beautiful day,

appointed in the shortage of the berry

received.

THE HOME OF THE SOUL

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
course of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite SO prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them a trial. They only
cost quarter.

RECOMMENDS CHAMBERLAIN's
TABLETS

"Chamberlain's Tablets have been
used by my husband and myself off
and on for the past five years. When
my husband goes away from home he
always takes a bottle of them along
with him. Whenever 7 have that
heavy feeling after eating, or feel
dull and played out, take one CT two
of Cham5erlain's Tablets and they fix
me up fine" writes Mrs. Newton
Vreeland, Minoa, N. Y. Take these
tablets when troubled with constipa7
tion and they will do you good.

WHY SUFFER FROM
RHEUMATISM

Do you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain
may be relieved by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment, which makes sleep
and rest possible, and that certainly
means great deal to any one afflicted
with rheumatism.

"The Iron Age" "Producers have been
more disposed to make concessions to
improve their cash position and con-
sumers have limited their buying so
that inventory might be brought down
to it's lowest terms. These influences
have created fresh uncertainties as to
the prices at which the larger business
looked for in the new year will be done.
"The belief is widespread in the
trade that reductions in freight rates
will come early in the new year and
that the decision by the Commerce
Commission to restore the higher iron
ore rates on January l does not mean
opposition to a reasonable reduction

rather than piecemeal reduction.
Some contraction in mill operations
is seen in the Pittsburgh and Ohio dis
tricts. The banking of a number Of
blast furnaces in the mid-holday week
is probable, and some steel plants may
run at a CORES spondingly reduced rate"
