monotony of our daily life, ar.d we usually do something or go
somewhere so the general round of every day will be entirely differ
ent from what we are used to. This Sometimes results in encoun

is just as well to be prepared for an emergency.
A little package of every-day medicines, disiniectants, healing
lotions, anti-septic gouze, absorbent cotton, etc., is essential to the
cautions. We can fix this up for you in a few minutes. Come in

Because people who wunt to “make a bluff” adopt the practice
of carrying a “roll’ business men are never so cordial to a man with
a “roll” as they are to a man who carries a bank balance nd issues
checks on it for cash purchases or in settling regular accounts.
There is business prestige in a hank account that a roll of money
however large, can never attain.
