S2O and S3O Shoes News items appearing in the papers that sfioes are, to sell at S2O and 30 per pair. This is very misleading and any one can ligure the price shoes should sell at based on today’s market. Shoes have just about doubled in price so that a shoe that formerly! sold at $3 would now have to sell at between $5 and $6. Ladies’ fancy shoes are an exception in that they have more than doubled in price on account of the scarcity of dyes and fancy materials. We bought heavily on the old market and we are still selling good shoes at $2.50, $3, $3.50 and SI. Cushion Comfort Shoes for Women at $3.50, and Men’s at $5.00. It will pay you to stop and shop here before you buy shoes. Charlie VogteWedc SELLS A LOT OF THEM.

COME OX OVER, SEE MY CORN FALL OFI “I Put 2 Drops of ‘Gets-lt* on Last Night—Now Watch—" "See all you have to do is to use your two lingers and lift the corn right off. That’s the way ‘Gets-lt’ always works. You just put on about 2 drops. Then the corn not only shrivels, but loosens from the toe. without affecting the surruundiug

tleh in the least. Why, it’s almost a pleasure to have corns and see how ’Gets-lt’ gets them off in a hurry and without the least pain. 1 can wear tight shoes, dance and walk as though ! never had corns.’ “Gets-lt" makes the use of toeirritbting salves, bundling bandages, tape, plasters and other things not only foolish, but unnecessary. Use this wonderful discovery, “Gets-lt” for any soft or hard corn or callus, it is the new. simple, easy, quick way. and never fails. You'll never have to cut a corn again with knives or scissors, and run chances of blood poison. Try “Gets-lt” tonight. “Gets-lt" is sold everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent on receipt of price by E.

BETTERJHANCALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr Edwards' Olive Tablets arc a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—arc a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His efforts to banish it brought out these! little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edtyards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, ’’dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel “loggy” and “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. 10c and 25c a box. All druggist?

To Live Long! \ recipe given by a famous physician for long life was: “Keep the kidneys in g«x>d order! Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating meat aa much as possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water, and exercise so you sweat —the skin helps to eliminate the toxic jxusons and uric acid.” For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of inflammation, as backache, scalding “water,” or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, “rusty" joints, stilfness. get Anurie (double strength). This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it semi 10 cents tc Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will know that it is many limes more potent than lithia and that it dissolves uric acid as but water does sugar.
