I felt pains after eating and had gas, constant headache, and was unable $0 sleep at night. I was getting so thin that I was frightened and saw several physicians who, however, did not seem able to help me, = «At last a friend adoised me to take Fruivasives, I did so and soon I felt some relief. I continued with 'Fruit-a-tives' and in a short time, the Constipation was banished, I felt RO more pains or headache or the disagreeable sensations that follow dyspepsia. Now I aim well, strong and vigorous." Madame ARTHUR BEAUCHER. 50¢. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25¢., At all dealers or from Fruit-a-tives BECAME SO THIN HE | WINDOW CHARTS HELP OUSTOMERS DECIDE. The Paul H. Krauss Co., of Indian- apolis, like other dealers in men's clothing, believes that price tags on somewhat from the merits of the dis- 'Iplay, adding a touch which migh' cause a sheker ol high-grade, gar- ments to pass by, Nevertheless, the company real- izes that there is a certain advantage to the price tag, which tells the pro- to pay and enables him to avoid the embarrassment of looking at a $60 sult, when he has just $40 in his pocket. The average man, the com- pany believes, doesn't like to "shop," &8 many women do, but goes into a Store to buy. If he tinds that the clothing he has his eye on costs more than he expected, he is unpleasantly surprised and usually leaves rather awkwardly, probably not to return, The Krauss company finally has decided on a compromise between two methods. Its windows are still gulitless of price tags, but the man on the floor usually near the en- trance so lie can direct patrons to the proper department of the =en's Wear establishment, has gr at {hand a chart of each windo w- {ing the position of every #ment displayed and its price.

But best of all from the mer- ehant's standpoint, the room is di- rectly opposite his rather unique dis- play of household utensils. It is the most natural thing in the world for a4 woman waiting to stroll through the disles separating these racks and pick out something she needs. Pow- ell says the rest room has been a tremendous drawing card to bring women to his store. Once they are in the habit of coming he gets their business. THE QUTSTION IS-- WHICH SIGN WAS TRUE? There is a yarn going the rounds in London regarding a certain retail grocer of profiteering tendencies who fired an assistant one day when he caught him winking at the local village belle intead of getting on with the window trim. This em- ployee went into the signwriting game, and a féw moons later got thé Job of fixing up his former employer's premises. Among other things the grocer wanted the following notice printed on slips and pasted on his store win- dow: - FOR THE PRESENT WE ARE RELUCTANTLY COMPELLED TO .

Thefe is a sign over the desk which reads: "I am busy to-day, but no matter who you are or what your business is, I have time to talk to you." + This sign "'goes" for traveling men as' well as anybody else. Mr. Jones, who is probably selling as much clothing as any other ¢loth- fer in Kansas located in a town of 10,000 inhabitants, believes in in- structing his salesmen and frequent- ly gives them a lesson in the art of selling goods, making friends and putting the store shead: Here is a summary of some of Jones's busi- néss getting advice and suggestions: "The first lesson my salesmen get in salesmanship is to learn to smile. The man who can't smile can't work for me. "Know your stock and selling points. "Spread more merchandise on the counter and less of yourself. "Approach the customer instead of having the customer approach the salesman. "A customer is our guest and must be treated as such." About advertising, Mr. Jones says: "I do not spend my money for space in a telephone directory, hotel register, church cook book, menu card or any other advertising graft, I am a firm believer in newspaper advertising, personal letters, g window displays and personal atten- tion to my customers." REST ROOM BRINGS WOMEN INTO HARDWARE STORE. Realization that women are the largest buyers, even of hardware, has made many thousands of dollars for the Powell Hardware Co., of FI Dorado, Kan. When I. C. Powell planned a new store building a year or so ago he made provision for a woman's rest room. It wah finished and furnighed comfortably with wicker chairs ( and couches upholstered in tapestry. There was a phonograph for enter tainment If the visitors desired, for Powell handles phonographs and re- cords, so this room makes an ideal salesroom as well as rest room. +« When ready Powell began to in- vite the women 'of the town and sur- rounding territory to make this rast room their meeting place down town. He played it up as the best place to have a comfortable visit, and the women accepted his invitation.

And small trifles, like the small wrapping of bundles, pays the Arcade big dividends, according to F. Ehren- reich, manager of 'the store. "A man hates to carry a parcel," claims Ehrenreich. "I've noticed that wherever you wrap anything up fora man he invariably tries to stow it away somewhere in one of his nume- Tous pockets. Sometimes he discoy- ers that the package is too bulky for any of his suit pockets and he re- sorts to strategy by attempting to crumble or fold it up. Then he tries to insert it again, and, unless it's al- together too big, he generally gots away with his pet aversion. "No man ever leaves this store with a parcel under his arms if we can help it. We always endeavor to make up the goods he buys into as compact a package possible, and in nine times out of ten the custo- mer is enabled to slip it into one of his pockets. They appreciate this lit- tle service and we believe that it has been the means of bringing quite a little trade into our store. "A man will go out of his way to be accommodated in the way he likes so the rule works out' the same in this instance. Certainly the male spe- cles never invented the shopping ha- bit, because, as is well known, men won't enter a department store un- less théir furnishings are displayed right next to the door, and their pe- culiar trait applies equally to their dislike of carrying parcels in thelr arms if they can possibly wet out of it by storing them away in hidden places. "It seems to me that this was probably the reason why the pocket was invented anyway!" FIND NO BEAUTY IN BIL ARDS Billboards were all right during the war, but are all wrong now. This is the opinion of the League of Im- provement Societies in Rhode Island, Which has started a fight against the use of billboards. The organization proposes to take the matter up with og city council for a fight to the fin- sh. Plans for such a campaign were made it 8 recent meeting of the or- anization. The 1 e has this to say regarding the billboards: "Use of advertising during thé war was recognized as mecessary, but under present conditions is ob- Jectionable and altogether contrary to the purpose of numerous plans for Ee JOHNSON'S FREEZE.PROOF is easy to use--is non-inflammable--inexpensive and guaranteed.
