TRADE AT HOME. M|nl Marehmt* Expect Your HvlMay Trade and are Prepared. > Again we wish to impress upon the wrimi« of our readers the importance of flying their shopping with the local mer­ chant. It is the business men that make a town what it is and without their support the village may as well throw up the sponge or give up its char­ ter. But the merchant expects some­ thing in return for his steadfastness, and that is the support of the citizens. It is a well-known fact that some people will ask c.edit of the local merchant and go to Chicago with the cash. Don't do that. It is not fair and just Dur­ ing the next three weeks call at the lo­ cal business houses and see what you can do with a dollar. The merchants are all making preparations for Christ­ mas trade and have an immense stock of winter wearables which are being sold at prices as low as the lowest. We do not say as low as the cheapest, remember, for the home merchant would not find it profitable to handle the mail-order class of goods. Look through the ads in The Plaindealer and see what is offered. You will find it more to yonr advantage than reading a mail order house catalogue.

Rank imposes obligation, but it also brings a certain freedom from restric­ tions that bind the humble. A man of literary aspirations who had his way yet to make in the world wrote a poem, which he submitted to his wife before sending it out for publication. "Why, Henry,"' she said, on looking it over, "you have made 'hundred' rhyme with 'onward.'" "That's all right," he replied. "Ten­ nyson did it." "Yes," rejoined his wife.

The old saying that "praise to the | face is open disgrace" is still firmly believed by some people. A young woman who was brought up by her New England grandmother, a notable j housekeeper and example of thrift, says that the adage was a household guide in her family. , One day her grandmother went off ] to pay a visit, and the ambitious girl of sixteen scrubbed and polished, swept and dusted until it seemed as if there ; was nothing left to do. Her heart beat ; high with the hope of a word of com- | mendation as she sat in the kitchen | doorway waiting for her grandmother's return. When the old lady arrived she looked about her with keen eyes, but there seemed no chance for criticism until, stooping dcfWn under the kitchen table which stood near the open door, she saw that the south wind had wafted a bit of fluff from the hen yard. With eyes that would twinkle In spite of herself she pointed an accus­ ing finger at this evidence of careless­ ness and said scberly: "Janet, my dear, I see there's a feather in the kitchen. It's high time I came home!" TXTANTED-Falthful person to travel for ** well established house in a few counties, calling on retail merchants and agents. Lo­ cal territory.

Many sudden -- deaths are caused by it -- heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy r- are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al­ lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald­ ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its w6n- derful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful new dis­ covery and a book that tells all about it, both Home of 8w*.mj>-Root. sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N. Y.
