Build up tho natural defensive resources of tho body. Use tho automatic 4 scavenger system with which '4 you aro supplied, but do not 4 make tho mistake of thinking that you can neglect it at pleas- 4 uro nnd then escnpo by whipping 4 it up with irritating drugs. Drink 4 freely of clenr water. Eat to sat- 4 lsfactlon rather than repletion 4 and lot tho diet bo of good bnl- 4 nnce. Never let tho drudgery of 4 daily routine obscuro tho cud for 4 which you live. A rush of work 4 Is not legitimate excuse for pro- 4 grcssivo suicide. 4- As Pythagoras has wisely said, 4 "Havo thou moderation in nil 4 things, keep thyself from wild 4 Joy and from wailing sorroAV, 4 strive to hold thy soul in hnrmo- 4 ny and concord, like Uio strings 4 of a well tuned liurp."

O From r j: ueaii Cash On and After Oct. 1 WE WILL SELL For Cash Only In business there are Three Important and Essential Factors, ! the Pro- ducer, the Seller and the Consumer. The most important of these ' three is the Consumer the one who uses the goods. As sellers of highest grade Footwear our interests are very closely associated with r the interests of the Consumer YOU! Hence it follows that anything which benefits to consumer will benefit both of us. On and after October 1st our business will be operated on a cash basis. Per sonal charge accounts will be discontinued. This change of store policy is made in your interest as well as our own. You will be given the benefit of our decreased "overhead1' by correspondingly LOWER PRICES. And at this time when general costs have been greatly increased due to conditions beyond your and our control, it's bound to be mighty interesting for you to know that at the BIG SHOE STORE like ours has adopted a policy which will make it possible to place before you the ultimate in expert shoe merchandising. ' QUALITY-SERVICE-PRICE No enc need feel any sense of injury at being asked to pay cash. Our first class credit customers are many in number AND NINETY-FIVE PER CENT of our pat rons who have and are now carrying "charge accounts" will welcome the new pol icy because they realize that CASH BUYS CHEAPER THAN CREDIT. It isn't a question of getting our money that concerns us most, it's merely a matter of getting lined up with the NEW WAY OF DOING THINGS the way that gets cash pays cash and gives better values for less money. We do not make this move in a spirit of retaliation toward anyone. With us it is strictly a business proposition and we are putting it up to you SQUARELY. We want your business and expect to get at least a share of it on the basis of QUALITY, SERVICE and PRICE and last but not least COURTESY. One price and that one CASH after October 1st; on this ) platform of sound business practice we respectfully solicit a continuance of yoiir i patronage. ( , D. &. F. Shoe Store DIENER & FLEISHMAN, Props. 111 L Ml II Sturdy Clothes For Active Boys Your boy takes just as much pride in wearing good clothes as does father or big brother. And it is true economy in the end to buy the best quality suits and overcoats for him. And get them now, while the displays of new style, fabrics and patterns are-at their best. Every fabric in the stock is of the sturdiest quality. An "all boy" is active and naturally hard on 'his clothes. For this reason this store is logical headquarters for your boys' clothes.

A Sermon On Lumber In conclusion my friends, we can't get away from this lumber question. Why, every one of us spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber. Our lives have been lived between walls of two by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads, and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have been sitting in wooden-chairs, eating from wooden tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets. Lumber Is King In the Construction World.
