WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS The iso: vows system is the alarm system ' human body. In perfect health we hardly realize that i' have a network ot uerves, but wheu health is ebbing, when strength is declin ing, the same nervous system gives the . ftarui in headaches tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability ami unless corrected, ' Vr*cls straight to a breakdown. •‘To correct nervousness, Scott’s Ktmil samu is exactly what you should take; its vd* nutrimept .gets iuto the blood and rich blood teetls the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh •US tuic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott & Dowue. Bloomfield, N. J. MY HOME TOWN (National Hardware Bulletin) I Believe in My Town. I believe in her people, in her boys and her girls. I will make mvself a committee of one to make of this a good place in which to live and a mighty hard place to leave. I Believe in My Town. I believe in her institutions, in her schools, in her churches and her stores. I Believe in the street broom, and in the street sweep er, and in the paint pot. I believe in ne’er an empty can on vacant lot but many a full one in the larder. Never again will I throw waste paper or rubbish in the street or alley. I Believe in My Town. I believe in trees, God’s first temples, grass instead of ash heaps, and flowers instead of weeds. May God bless the tongues that give honest praise and commendations, and may He doubly bless the ear that is deaf to scandal and gossip. If I cannot speak good of my neighbor I will hold my peace. When it costs me nothing at least, I will spend my money here, and bv so doing leave a part of the purchase price to circulate in the channels, where its equivalent in wealth was originally created, to do good among the folks who are a part of the community of which I am a part, in the place that I call home, sweet home. I Believe in My Town. NOW FOR BUSINESS Everybody is glad the political campaign in Butts county is over. There is no denying the fact that politics demoralizes business and the public, including the can didates themselves, will breath a sigh of relief at the cessation of political turmoil. Now the people can get down to business without interruption. The vigorous handshaking is over for a spell and business will pro ceed along the usual lines. It would be better for all concerned if the political campaigns were considerably shortened. The winners in Wednesday’s primary will receive the congrat ulations of the people. Those who failed to be nominated are good men and true. It was the will of the people, the choice of the voters. Every man should be satisfied with the result. Butts county for the next four years will be served by honest, capable and intelligent officials who will do their duty as they see it. They are your choice, the people's choice, and as public servants should have the co-operation of every voter in the county. Politics has had its inning. The issue has been settled. Now for business. PaA&eke, he&dadhe, I Thousands cf the best women A; j the world arc bearing the burden of backache, headache, dragging pains, a miserable half-dead, half-alive condi tion, produced by chronic internal de rangements. Mrs. Joseph Lacclle, 124 .Glenora Ave., Ottawa East, Ontario, Canada, is one of the fair women of America who has had her experience with this sort of a burden. Her experience is similar to the multitude pf other women whose letters are recorded in the “Ills of Life.” A copy of this free booklet ought to he in the hands of every housewife in the United States. Read what Mrs. Lacelle says: “/ suffered with backache, headache and dragging pains for over nine months, and nothing relieved me until I took Peruna. 1 his medicine is by far better than any other medicine for these troubles. A few bottles relieved me of my miserable half-dead, half alive condition. lam now in good health, have neither ache nor pain, nor ha ve / had any for the Past year. If every suffer ing woman would take Peruna, they would soon know its value and never be without it.” MAIL ORDER ADVERTIS ING AND THE HOME MERCHANT Herman Rosenfield, advertising manager of Sears. Roebuck & Cos., recently made the following public statement: “We have a bureau whose duty it is to read each week the country newspapers from all over the country. There is not a paper of any conse quence in our trade territory that our bureau does not get. This bureau looks over these papers, and when we find a town where the merchants are not advertising in the lo cal paper we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It always brings results far in excess of the efforts put forth in territory where local merchants use their local papers.” The home merchant who wants the trade of home people should remember that it pays to adver tise. More people are reading the newspapers than ever before, and as they read thev look for your advertisement. If it is not there, who is to blame? If your business is not what it ought to be try an advertising campaign. It has made fortunes for others— it will help you.
