CATARRHAL GAsrR1r1s.

Chronic Dyspepsia.

but more or less retaining the char
acteristic symptoms of gastric de-
rangments which evident that the
factors or agents which produce acute
gastritis will. if long continued, as
sumo a chronic state. The causes of
chronic gastritis may be summed up
as follows: errors in diet, it's variety
and preparation, the habit of eatinG
at irregular intervals or undue haste
in eating thus not allowing time
for the perfect mastication of food.
The free use of ice water, ice tea
and coffee during meals play an i'm
portant part in the causation of in
digestion. The unmoderate use of al
cohol tobacco or other toxic irritants
are disastrous. Persons suffering with
most any cons titution of disease such
as tuberculosis, bright disease, govt,
diabetis anemia, syphilis, malaria or
skin diseases are usually bothered
With some form of stomach trouble.
This form presents almost the same
symptom that we see in acute gas
tritis. only they (symptoms) vary
greatly at one time better, at anoth-
er worse, but never intirely absent.

These symptoms are usually worse
after meals. Nausea and vomiting
may follow eating which of course
makes the patient sick and leaves a
bad taste for short while. There is
at all times a desire for a large
quantity of water. The intestines NAV

EVERY ONE WANTS
MONEYS WORTH
Natural Desire Is Not to Get the
Worst of Any Business
Transaction.
CHEAPEST NOT ALWAYS BEST
Person Who Buys From Catalogue
House Sees Only the Price and
Forgets That Value Is Thing
That Counts.
(Copyright.)

(Copyright)
When you spend your money you
naturally want to get all you can in
return. No one can criticize you for
having that desire. Only those who
are commonly referred to as having
more money than sense throw their
money away. All others are careful to
see that they do not get the worst of
any bargain. But one has to be able
to look farther than the end of his
nose If he is TO be sure that he Is get
ting the most that he can get for his
money.
That Is the defense of the man who
buys from the mail order house instead
of patronizing the merchants in his
own town. He says he can get more
for his money when he buys from the
mail order man than when he spends
his money at home. But in ARRIVING
at that conclusion he certainly has not
been able to look further than the end
of his nose.
In most cases the man who buys
goods from mail order house does
so because he thinks he is getting the
goods for less money than he would
have to pay for them at the store in
his own town. He thinks he is look
ing out for No. 1 and he says it is
not his fault if the merchant in his
town cannot make any money and is
forced to go out of business. He over
looks the fact that he Is likely to be
as hard hit as anyone else when that
merchant closes his doors but, leav-
ing that probability out of considera-
ton, the chances are about 10 to / that
the buyer has really lost money on his
deal with the mail order man.
Price Not Only Consideration.
If buying an article of any kind,
whether 1t be house and lot or pa
per of pins, the price is not the only
thing to be considered by any means.
You are not in the habit of going into
a store when you want to buy suit of
clothes and saying to the storekeeper:
Give me the cheapest suit of clothes
YOU have in the house." You want the
best suit Of clothes you can get for the
price YOU pay for 1t. but YOU don't
