There are some kinds that * not only do not pay, but do positive 1 harm.

stances the undue liberty was resented. Then this kind of advertising is unsightly. In many towns and cities it is prohibited. The writer remembers one time when this kind of advertising did get a lot of notoriety for a patent medicine firm, and it was due to the Irrepressible activity of the billing I agent, who went from town to town and put up posters setting forth the wonderful healing qualities of the particular medicine. This agent struck Peru and happened to pass the cemetery, which had a nicely painted fence on the front of the lot. He did not use his type-set bills but being handy with a brush and paints he evolved the following: "If you want to keep out of here, try a few bottles of Blank’s Magic Health Restorer.” The energetic patent medicine man did not have time to get out of town before the indignant populace had him lu jail. The news of extreme "nerve” of the agent spread all over the country, and the manufacturers of Blank’s famous nostrum got more advertising than it had ever received before, and all it cost them was a heavy fine and the costs of having the cemetery fence repainted. It is needless for us to tell Mr. Farmer. Mr. McKee, Mr. Erwin and Judge Carter they are welcome in Decatur. They know it. Decatur has made that plain in previous visits of Yeomen representatives to this community and we assure our distinguished guests we have not changed in any respect, unless it is to be more than ever desirous of having this community chosen as the place for their home and school and for just one reason — our desire to help them in the great cause they are fighting for. We agree with our favorite poet that the Yeomen will be mighty lucky to select this site for the right spirit has been brought about here by a hundred years of right living and the proper start by our forefathers, building a community where we live peaceably and happy, where there are no rich or poor, where the old-fashioned idea of neighborliness still lives and where

PBOPI.E OVER FORTY People aged forty or over are leas able to resist the attacks of eolds, grippe, influenza or pneumonia than young people. Their vital force lacks the powerful resistence of youth. Coustipated bowels, sour stomach, in digestion, biliousness and weak kidneys all tend to lower the physical resistance. Millions of people now use Bulgarian Blood Tea to keep the bowels open and improve the blood. Bulgarian Herb Tea taken steaming hot will help break up a cold quickly.
