>Vt. 4 ifTrade Marked and Advertised Goods" If you read the magazines and newspapers,you are familiar with "trade marked'* advertised articles. Come to us for such goods. We handle such articles because we find that goods which justify repeat or­ ders must necessarily be trade marked as a protec­ tion against imitations and unfair competition. The manufacturer's advertising is an insurance bond of quality. It protects youagainst undependable wares. In the drug line, more than any other, people de­ mand a "quality guarantee." Therefore, we make a practice of selling trade marked advertised goods and to the manufacturer's guarantee we add ours. You will find in stock all worthy drug store goods as soon as they are on the market. :: :: N. H. Petesch DRUGGIST PHONE 56-W OUR WEEKLY LIMERICK A carpenter by the name of C.

Made In Garmanv "i chanced yesterday," said Rev. .Tames J. Keane, archbishop of Du buquo, speaking at the Niagara Falls convention of Catholics, "I chanced to tind a copy on the train of one of the most carefully written reviews of so­ cial movements in this country, and that number, to my gratification, pub­ lished a brief review of the results of a study, made a little better than a year ago, under the direction cf the German government, with a view to bringing before the German people the injurious effects of the use of alcohol. The commission decided that what was called a temperate use of alcoholic drink--accounted generally innocuous --was positively hurtful. It inevitably works harm, the commission says, and is especially hurtful to those engaged in any employment which demands of them physical labor. It was a sober, keen analysis of a very thorough in­ vestigation made ip Germany." Ger­ man army officers find that out of 30 shots fired, men averaged 23 hits on abstaining days, three hits on drinking days. And the amount taken was less than that contained in a quart of four per cent beer. These and similar ex­ periments hate made the kaiser a total abstainer, and it is why he is urging the army to follow his example. BIUumKLIJk Mrs. W. Reed was a* Woodstock shopper Saturday. Mrs. H.
