The Man Who Sells

Must Know

There are many drugs that look alike to the ordinary observer, but the man who sells drugs must be fitted both by education and experience to know them fully. There is as much responsibility in selling five cents worth of epsom salts as in filling a prescription, for if the wrong drug were sold it might mean untold suffering. Therefore make your purchases from a druggist who knows one who ha3 had experience education and training. It pays to be safe. We use extra precautions to make you safe,

God Pities

"God pitieth his children." Why? Simply because the chill, penury, want and gaunt despair that so often stalks among them through the improvident careless of those whose duty it is to protect. "God will take care of you," through the means at hand, the sunshine and rain, the harvests of golden gralin, produced by muscles of steel and brains which are God-given, but it would be unfair, would it not, for you to qxpect God to keep his ravens at hand in this day and cause it to rain manna, to stay the ravages of the black angel of hunger and want? Come to my office and I will point you a hundred cases under my own direction where a policy stayed the progress of the mortgage and stifled it. Where it paid the butcher and baker the bills that were owing and caused the bereft woman at the helm to thank God and take courage.

True, "there w&s corn in Egypt," but even in those times it took a wise and good man, "walking beneath the shadow of His wing," to prevent an awful famine, and the effects of the wise counsel of that first life insurance president, Joseph, is felt even unto this day, and will be for ages to come. It is up to you to use skillfully the tools God has provided, and the keenest, most graceful and shapely is the one that fits the hand, head and heart, and is more easily wielded than any other by those in all the walks of life is life insurance. Paste that in your hat, ye ranters about God taking care of your loved ones after you are gone. -V

The kind of a policy that fits every human need is issued by the

Jacob Miller, Employe of T. M. I. & E. Traction Co., Loses TimePiece at Indianapolis.

Jacob Miller, of South Mechanic street, this city, who has been employed at the power plant of the T. H. I. &. E. traction line for many years, lost his watch at Indianapolis last Thursday and he thinks it was taken from his pocket by one of the "light-fingered gentry." He was standing on the corner of Delaware and Washington streets, awaiting his car, and took out his watch to note the time.

After getting on the car he missed his watch, and thinking O'cr the matter he remembered there were several suspicious looking characters standing around when looked at his watch, and that they crowded against him when he went to the car.

The watch was a valuable one, and he had had it for several years. He secured the number of the watch on his return home, and sent it to the chief of police at Indianapolis, requesting that the pawnshops be investigated.

Carl Brand, of this city, who has completed his junior year at Indiana University, has been selected as the leader of the college band.
