6 A SOCIAL LEADER OF KANSAS CITY j Attributes Her Excellent Health to Pe-ru-na. j MRS. W. H. SIMMONS. MRS. W. ir. SIMMONS, mo E. Bth St., Kansas City, Mo., member of j the National Annuity Association, j writes: '• My health was excellent until about a year ago, when I had a complete col lapse from overdoing socially, not jfet tiu<r the proper rest, and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dread ful condition, and my nerves all un strung. " I was advised by a friend to try Pe runa, and eventually I bought a bottle. I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. 1 certainly feel that Peruna is deserving of praise." There are many reasons why society women break down, why their nervous systems fail, why they have systemic or pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are espe cially liable to these ailments. No won der they require the protection of Peru ua, It is their shield and safeguard. CAWYERS EXCELSIOR BRAND Oiled Clothing and Slickers Make you comfortable in uncomfortable weather.

SHOULD TELL THE PRICES Generalities Are Meaningless to the Public—Why the Mail-Order Man Wins—Try the Plan. If you, Mr. Merchant, would compete with the mail-order houses there are three main essentials to success—the goods—the prices—advertising. * The last of these Is quite as essen tial aB either of the others. In the great majority of cases the local merchant has the goods, and he makes the prices, but in very many cases he either fails to do the adver tising. or what he does do is not effec tive in the same way that the mail order man's advertising is effective. The writing of effective advertising is uot an art, it is not a business that requires years of study to learn. A few hours of study and comparison will give you every essential detail that you will need. It is comparatively-safe to say lhat 75 per cent, of the advertising carried by local merchants in the local papers is worded in generalities only. Such advertisements as the following are found iu every paper: CO TO BL AN K'S FOR Hardware, Stoves and Tinware BEi, i GOODS LOWEST PRICES The mail-order man's advertising ia different. It is specific, and while the glowing descriptions given are often By the aid of the editor the home merchant can ride the mail-order magnate out of the home community on the rail of publicity. The moral is advertise; advertise systematically and persistently. Tell the public what you have to offer, and tell it ao they will understand. ' misleading—a thing which Blank's ad vertising should never be —they at tract the attention of the reader and possible purchaser because they toll about some one thing that he may pos sibly want. The mail-order man makes a run on a few things which he is willing to sell at a close margin of profit in or der to attract trade in his general line on which heavy profits are made. Blank should advertise hardware in much the same manner the mail-order man advertises hardware, and be has I his advantage—he can invite the peo ple of the community to visit his store and see the goods for themselves so they will know just what they are buy ing. If, instead of expressing meaning less generalities in a two-inch Bpace, Bi'ank had used a little more space and properly displayed an advertise ment something like the following he would have been sure to have at tracted attention to his store, and in j all probability would have been sur prised at the drawing power of his ad vertising: WASHDAY BARGAIN SALE BLANK'S | EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR WASHDAY AT BARGAIN PRICES During Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week C"5 *7O '° r a v« a r guaranteed best quality £ V Clothes Wringer, the King of Wring ers.

The prices given here are of course mere Action, but the prices Ulaak CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1907. should quota In Uls advertisement should show the public that he is giving bargains; they should be prices that would compare favorably with the prices of the mail-order catalogues, and he should impress it upon the public that he not only shows them what they are buying before they pay for it, but that the purchaser has no freight to pay, and does not have to wait an interminable time for the goods he buys, as when ordering of the mail order houses. it. is specific advertising that draws. The advertiser who describes in de tail the goods lie has to sell, and quotes the price he asks for it will attract the favorable attention of the public far more often than the one who deals only in generalities. It is this kind of advertising that pays. It is this kind of advertising that is at tracting the dollars from the smaller cities and towns and farms to the mail order houses of the city. It is this kind of advertising that drew $200,- 000,000 Into the cofTers of the Chicago mail-order houses alone last year, and it is this kind of advertising on the part of the local merchants that the mail-order houses fear more than any other one thing. But, Mr. Merchant, whether your line be hardware, dry goods, groceries, clothing or other commodities, it is well togo further than your newspa per advertising, though this is the foundation of success. Goto the local printer and have him make you little catalogues of your own. They do not need to be large affairs, but small folders of four, eight or 1G pages. Put into these folders the descriptions and prices of the goods you are carrying, or leaders in the line. Be sure that j the prices quoted are right, then put I one of these into the hands of every customer; keep them circulating | throughout the community, and make a practice of getting out a nes one ' every few weeks. I You, Mr. Merchant, can make adver- tising pay larger returns than the mail-order man secures; you can make it the mainstay of your business, and you can make it the means of killing the mail-order competition in your community. And when you do this do not begrudge the publisher the reasonable price he asks you for ade quate space in his columns. He will give you better value than any othir commodity you can buy. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. NO THORNS IN HER PATH. Josephine Oaskam Writes in Tribute of the Golden Rule. "1 believe myself to be notably for> tunate In my relations with my do mestic employes. During a period of eight years, in which I have employed household labor in four widely differ ent places, I have never once been ad dressed with intentional disrespect by any person in my employ," says Jose phine Daskam Hacon in tho American Magazine. "I have never been left a day with out my regular staff of employes, which has varied from one to five (that is to say, that 1 have never been left suddenly or without suffi cient notice to supply the vacancy). "1 have never had a satisfactory worker leave me except for what I considered a good reason (in the ma jority ol' cases an advantageous mar riage). "I have never lost an unsatisfactory one except by my own dismissal. I have never to my knowledge, or even suspicion, suffered the loss of a pen ny's worth by theft, and my record for breakage is such that it produces utter incredulity. "In three cases out of four I have had services willingly and frequently offered me along lines where it was not expected or requested. I have had extra money offered by me to off set extra work occasioned by sickness refused on iho ground that at such times all the household expected to share the trouble. "And as a climax I am able to state that once, at least, on my offering a raise in wages to express my appreci ation of competent and devoted serv ice I was met with the astounding sug gestion that as my expenses were heavy at the time and likely to in crease I had better not consider it " Mr«, Wlnfrio tr'n Soothing Syrnp.

Encourage Saving. The wise father and mother will never discourage the fancies of their children for accumulating things. It is a natural instinct, Inborn in the most of people, and given a little thought and care by the older heads may be turned to good account.

SPLENDID APRIL TONIC. Easily Prepared at Home and Harm less to Use. This is known as "Blood-Cleanir.g Time," especially among the older folks, who always take something dur ing this month to clem the blood of ! impurities and build It up. The following is the recipe as given j by a well-known authority, and any | one can prepare it at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half j ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, j Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Get these simple ingredients from any good pharmacy and mix by shak ! lug well in a bottle. The dose is one ! teaspoon'ul after meals and at bed i time. Everybody should take something to help the blood, which becomes impov erished and almost sour after the win ter season, especially those who are subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid ney and Bladder trouble. It is said that one week's use of this mixture will clear the skin of sores, pimples or boils. This is sound, healthy advice, which j will be appreciated by many readers. HAD NERVE, BUT NO MONEY. Unlucky Man's Modest Request for Pecuniary Assistance. Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, | while in New Orleans a few months j ago, took the opportunity of going to the races. During the afternoon he cashed several tickets, the result of good guesses. He was feeling happy after the last race, and started for the automobile which was to convey him back to his hotel. As he was about to climb into the machine he i felt a hand on his arm, and a man shouted in his ear: "Hello, Hitchcock, how are you? Hear you put a crimp in the bookies I to-day." Hitchcock blushed and shook hands i sheepishly, not recognizing the man, and not wishing to show it. "Say, I want to speak to you con fidentially," said the stranger. "All right; what is it?" asked the comedian. "Well, I am up against some hard luck to-day. They cleaned me and I want to get home. Now, don't let any one of these people see you, but slip me enough for car fare, will you?" "Sure," said Hitchcock, placing his Aand in his pocket. Then he paused and queried: "Where do you live?" "Vancouver," was the answer. Hitchcock took a flying leap for hla machine, and unless the visitors at New Orleans are more gullible, the Impecunious one is still looking tor car fare. —Harper's Weekly. ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE. The Land Made Famous by Philpotts* Novels. Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, "The River," "Children of the Mist," etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states: "For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indi gestion and heart-burn, and was mak ing me restless at night. These symp toms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. "When I realized this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, accord ing to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heart-burn, or brain fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. "Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do theif work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. "As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refresh ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however, necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal."
