GOOD TO REMEMBER

Maxims Of Franklin have been the
measure Of various successes and fail
ures for many years. Some OF them
are quite familiar, others are not so
eften quoted, all hold their full meas
ure of truth. Among them are the fol-
lowing:
Great takers, little doors.
Lost time is never found again,
A sleeping fox catches no poultry.
Let thy dlscontents be thy secrets.
He that can have patience can have
what he will.
You may be too cunning for one,
but not for all.
The wise and the brave dares own
that he is wrong.
II you know not the nature?
done, 90; I not, send
Many would like 10 live by their
wits, but break for want OF stock.
What signifies knowing the names,
II you know not the nature Of this?
IT'S easier to suppress the first de-
sire than to satisfy all that follow 1t.
AS we must account for every idle
word so must we for every idle
silence.

mend it very highly" - Mrs. H. II.
JANSEN, Millston, Wisconsin.
How can women who are weak and
sickly expect or hope to become mothers
of healthy children? Their first duty is
to themselves. They should overcome
the arrangement or debility that is
dragging them down, and strengthen
the entire system, as did Mrs. Jansen,
by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and then they will be
in a position to give their children the
blessing of a good constitution.

to your hearts content without
being unduly importuned to buy.
Transients often comment on
this habit Of Bennington mer-
chants.
You'll find, too, that when a
merchant does not happen to
have what you want he will tele-
phone round until he finds it for
you. This courtesy saves you
many a step. And the nice part
of it is this courtesy is always eX-
tended cheerfully.
