Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric acidity. It is useful in chronic intestinal dyspepsia. especially the flatulent variety, and in certain forms of chronic constipation, stimulating the secre- wry and excretory fanctions of tbe intestinal glands.” When combined, in just the right propor- tions. with Golden Seal root. Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen’s root, Blood- root and Mandrake root, or the extracts of these, as in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, there can be ne doubt of its ft éfiicacy-in the cure of ail stomach, iver and intestinal disorders and derange- several ingredients have the strongest endorsement in all such cases of such eminent medical leaders as Prof. R.

Column after column has been writ- ten about the bad deals people make by trading with catalogue houses in place of trading with their home mer- chants, but it seems almost necessary for a man to get beat before he “takes a tumble” to himself as the saying is, and begins to do all his trading at home where he can see the goods. We can quote an example which happened in this city by which one man at least was convinced of the ad- visability of trading at home. He had been a faithful student of the catalogues of the Eastern mail or- der houses. He was interested in a certain thing and had studied so much | catalogue literature on it that he cculd | talk about merits of the article he | wanted for a certain purpose. Which | made the merchant, who made ‘nis line a specialty, open his eyes. In fact he knew so much about it that when he went into a local store and told the merchant just exactly what articles he wanted, the latter knew he had studied the catalogue and was ready for him. The customer described a large number of articles which he desired to purchase and each one was laid on the counter. When he had them all in a pile before him he said: “I will give you $76.50 for them. I can buy them from a mail order house for that. Will you take it?” The merchant took his pencil and figured for a moment, put on a trou- bled look and told the man that, con-1 sidering the amount of trading his family did at the store, he would do! so. The purchaser was more than pleased. “I'll pay for these next month,” he said. But the merchant wasn’t quite as easy. He replied: “If you had bought these from the mail order house at that price you would have How are the merchants of the Northwest going to meet the unscrup- | | | | | 1 { \ ulous warfare being waged upon them by the catalogue hquses? He must advertise more extensively in his home papers and by circulars to his patrons. He must take up the mail order proposition in a systematic way and prepare and carry out aj strong line of publicity. It is all very well for the country merchant to say that every one: knows him and will trade with him anyway, but the known | facts do not carry out this statement. The catalogue houses flood the rural | sections with their immense cata- | logues, listing thousands of articies of | merchandise with their prices plainly : given. Thg price is an inducement, | even though it may be higher than the | i i now same article can be bought of the home merchant, because when a price is given the patron naturally thinks | it is a low price. Supplements of the | { big catalogues ure issued at intervals, alleged to contain rare bargains, and these are helped out with circulars | and other bargain announcements ar- | riving every few days at the patron’s } house. As opposed to all this clever The proximity of good towns gives an added value of from $10 to $20 per acre to all farms tributary to them. A farmer may say that he doesn’t care | a continental whether there is a town | near him or not when he buys of a | catalogue house, but when he sells his farm he credits the town with quite a large sum.—Ex. ! | | If the farmers of Minnesota could | be brought to an understanding of the | value to them of their market towns | the mail order houses would go out of | business in less than sixty days. The | building up of a strong market town in | a farming community means inereased | value to every farm, to every head of | stock, to every bushel produced on | the farm; it means the satisfying of | the natural desire of the young peo- | ple to see something of life and to ac- quire something of culture without} leaving the farm home to seek for it. nnon Fails Beacon. { Several years ago a rather laugh- able incident came under the writer's {notice. A gentleman sent to a cata- j logue house for a suit of clothes. The / i cash went with the order. In due time the suit came and was entirely too }large. The gentleman: took the suit to a local clothier and wanted to “swap” it for one which he could wear. | Needless to say he was not accommo- dated.—Ex. i] eee eee ee i | H Dr. Barnardo's Boy. 1 Dr. Douglas Hyde, the leader of the Gaelic revival in Ireland, was talking about accents to a Philadelphian Coming to the British accent. he said: “The leading characteristic of the periteh accent is, of course, the drop- ! ping of the ‘h.” The dropping of the nh’ is very unfortunate. It causes in- pnumerable embarrassments. “A friend of mine is bald. He isa Scientist. One night he lectured upon | the atmosphere to some of Dr. Bernar- ‘ do's boys in London. MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE INCREASE THE LAND VALUES eral weeks. All I ask is that you pay me now as soon as you have the goods. That I must have or the goods will stay here.” He agreed then to do this and wrote his check for $76.50 willingly, as it was learned later that the catalogue house price was $79.50, and started out of the store. The merchant called him back and asked him if he was perfectly satisfied with the deal. The customer assured the man that he was, and then—the merchant had his say. He told the customer that he had paid just $19.50 more to him than the regular retail price of the goods, and as evidence he showed him credit sales of each of the articles and show- ed him the total. The customer did not know what to say as he had told the merchant he was perfectly satisfied with the deal and he could not demand his money refunded. The merchant then showed the man wherein the catalogue house had quoted a lower price than he could on a standard article, while on the ones which were not standard he had raised the price several dollars. As an evidence of his businesslike principles, the merchant made the price right and the customer went away well satisfied, but the merchant has the assurance that im the future he will have the entire trade of one man who made an effort to beat him- self. The man is now a liberal patron of the store and the honest profit on the sales which the merchant will make to the man in the course of a year will be far greater than the amount he refunded, which the catalogue houses would have defrauded him out of this one deal.—Red Wing Repub- lican. advertising the patron sees, most of the time, stereotyped ads in his home papers telling him that “John Jones sells merchandise.” That’s about all he gets out of two-thirds of the ads published in country newspapers. This may seem harsh criticism, but it is well meant. Stir things up. You may not have to use any more space in your local papers, but make that space say something. Dig into your stock and advertise things that you never thought of advertising before. And ‘give the prices. Keep all the big retail mail order house catalogues on been compelled to pay in advance sev- hand. You will find it easy enough to get them. Compare your selling prices with those in the catalogues and nine times out of ten you will find that you can beat them at your regular prices when you figure in the cost of freight to the mail order patron. THerefore advertise and give prices. If you have an association or understanding there can be no objection to giving prices, and if you haven’t an associa- tion or understanding get one just as soon as you can, because that is of the utmost importance in fighting the mail order evil.—St. Paul Trade Jour- nal. The man, or the woman either, who gets his or her support out of a town | and its people, who depends on them for a living, but who, when buying, pa- tronizes outsiders instead of the local retailers, is a constant injury to all residents of the community which is so unfortunate as to shelter such a person.

Sufferers from ailments that have af- flicted in regular succession ove genera- | tion after another of their family are, as — arule, inclined to submit to them as in- evitable. Thecase which follows proves that such hereditary difficulties are not | beyond the reach of curative forces and should inspire hopefulness and a readi- ness to try remedies that have effected signal cures, such as that which is here | given.
