Why Do They Do
Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 1.
dressed woman of the to'
small city who pr des hersel
the up-to-date fashion ofj
clothes and on the fact th
buys them in some big G
city from a department,
flamboyantly displaying it:
i3 and New York address, ”
be surprised to know that sol
of the best dressed women o
modern means in that same city
do not buy their coats and suits
and dresses from high-priced
department stors, but go to the
small cities and obtain selections
equally as good for much less
money.
It is ?hs same old story-the
same old trait of human nature
that fondly imagines it can buy
better and do better away from
home. With the fashionable dres
ser of the town or small city it
it is that- but witn the well
dressed woman of moderate
means in the big city it is a-colc-
blooded business. She has d s
covered that the merchants n
small towns have just as good
quality and style in their hats,
shoes, suits and coats as the high
priced merchants with the gor-
geus department in hig-rent
districts.

Bronchitis too oic
racking cough that weakens Ihi^ystem
and paves the way for auch grave dis'
eases as pleurisy and pneumonia. Some 1
times there is a nervous hacking, worse
on arising and at nightfall, that is espe~
daily wearing and should by all means
boatopped promptly. Foley’s Honey
and Tnr is exactly suited to these condi-
tions. It directly affects the mucous
lining of the throat, clearing it r.t once of
hoarseness, removing the tickling phlegm
and slopping the severe racking cough.
Cougns usiialiy grow worse at night
fall. and prevent the quiet rest 60 neces
sary to one weakened by a cold.
Chas.T. Miller, Ed. Cannelton, Ind.,
was hoarse and sometimes could hardly
speak louder than a whisper. Had to
entirely give up singing, and coughed
constantly from sore throat day and
night. I took Foley’s Honey and Tar
and got relief. This spring the trouble
arose again. I bought a bottle, took five
doses, and have the remainder in the
bottle on my desk now, to take if an
other attack develops. It is great for
bronchial colds and coughs.
