A merchant in a certain town has no competition. He has everything his own way. He thinks he has the people right where he wants them and that they will have to go to him or go without. He runs along nicely for a time and then begins to get careless. You notice that his floor needs sweeping, the windows could stand soap and water, dust collects on the goods and counters and cobwebs are seen in the corners. Soon he thinks he ought to make more money with less work. He push- es up the prices a cent or two and his pocketbook gets fatter. That looks - good to him and he shoves the price up again. He doesn’t take the trouble to study his customers, their needs, and the conditions that prevail, because he has no competition. His store gets dingier and less inviting and it lacks the homelike appearance of welcome when customers call. In time the customers begin to get tired, for they feel that they are be- ing stung. Some turn to the mail order man, while others will go miles out of their way to reach another town. They want. something for their money. Soon the merchant notices a shinkage and wakes up. He makes despetate efforts to entice his cus- ' tomers back to him. But it is use- less. They have had enough. The merchant’s business has been irreparably. damaged by his indif- ference, neglect and greed, caused by lack of’ competition. = ox W But there is another side to this picture—one that is brighter and is seldom turned to the wall. ‘Where competition exists there is life, and energy, and brightness and where these things are the people will go. Competition brings to the surface and into use; the best that is in every man, where otherwise these qualifi- cations often lie dormant and with- out avail. And these qualifications, ‘when brought into play attract, draw and hold the allegiance of the people. The public asks no more than a fair return' for its money, and if there:is not sufficient competition in the: home .town to insure this then they will look elsewhere. . No'man can expect to secure and hold trade of any class of people just because he is himself. He may look good to himself, but if his goods are of proper quality and the price is right they will discount his person- ality one hundred per cent. And competition forces every man to keep the right kind-of goods and make the right kind of prices and it is mainly the quality and the price that keeps the trade in the home town. The more competition you find in a town the. cleaner and brighter the stores. will be, and the tastier the dis- plays, and the more attractive the price. These things spell life and life is: always appealing to the people. It is competition that has devel- oped. our:magnificent school system and. developed. and broadened our re- i ligious dnstitutions, and our railway systems,. and the thousand and one enterprises. that are making this the great commercial nation of the globe. It is the outlet and overflow of un- bounded: energy and ingenuity super- induced solely by necessity and com- petition.. To compete successfully with an adversary a merchant must know his people, and anticipate their desires. He must.meet them half way in every step they take. The people can be wan, but they can not be bought. ‘The. most successful merchants the ‘world has; ever produced are consist- ent and -persistent users of advertis- ing space in their local papers. They adyertise: because: they know the peo- pledemand- it and insist upon what they demand. The. locali merchant "who- uses-the &+ ‘adyertising: columns- of his - home | Phon a majority of the insane patients at the Newburg state hospital passed the test easily. The test is part of the system of examination under which 1,647 school children :n Cleveland have been declared men- tally defective. The action taken by a number of cities in the state for the introducing of military training into the public schiools is wrong. Such training comes at a time when the mind, soul and body of the boy are in the for- mative period. We should be care- ful what influences bear upon the boy at that time, whether they foster the spirit of militarism, or of peace, kind- liness and harmonious adjustment of difficulties.

Girls With Beautiful Faces or Graceful Figures American girls have a world-wide reputation for beauty, but, at the same time, there are girls in our cities who possess neither beauty of face nor form, because in these instances they suffer from nervousness, the result of disorders of the womanly organism. At regular intervals they suffer so much that their strength leaves them; they are so prostrated that it takes days for them to recover their strength. Qf course, such periodic distress has_its bad effect on the nervous system. The withered and drawn faces, the dark circles and crow’s feet about the eyes, the straight figure without those curves which lend so much to feminine beauty are the unmistakable signs of womanly disorders. When a girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, when a woman passes through the changes of middle life, are the three periods of life when health and strength are most needed to withstand the pain and distress often caused by severe organic disturbances. At _these critical times women are best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, an old remedy of proved worth that keeps the entire female system perfectly regulated” and in_excellent_condition. Mothers, if your daughters are weak, lack ambition, are troubled with head- aches, lassitude and are pale and sickly, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion is just what they need to surely bring the bloom of health to their checks and make them strong and healthy. If you are a sufferer, if you daugh- ter, mother, .sister need help, get Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription in liquid or tablet form. Then address Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and re- ceive confidential advice from a staff of specialists, that's free; also 136-page hook on woman's diseases sent free: Join the Bemidji Be a community. builder. Pay-Up Week throng.
