THE VERY BEST. ———iqmii. Have any of onr readers seen a recent copy of the Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer? If not, it will pay to send for a copy, if for no other purpose than to note its present great worth as an educator in all things that tend to make life prosperous, and home, the happiest place on earth. The editor by asking its readers to criticise and suggest improvements ; and following advice thus obtained is enabled to produce a paper that exactly fits needs of a family and a material aid to father, mother and children in reaching that higher level in social life, where content and comfort reigns supreme. Father obtains ample information that guides in the where, when and how to regulate and increase the income from his efforts. The mother in management of household affairs, practical economy, government of children, and other duties that makes her toil a labor of love. Children’s minds and hearts are freed from thoughts of questionable amusements and frivolities of life, and encouraged to emulate all that is helpful in planing for a useful future in life. The Grand Idea being that; * 'As are our Homes, so will be the Community, State and Nation.” A most desirable help, is a nonsectarian sermon each week, as preached by that Biblical Student Pastor Chas.

PRICE vs. QUALITY And perfect fitting. Mere spectacles fitted in a haphazard way are apt to be an injury to the eyes. This is a matter in which you cannot afford to take chances.

We are fully qualified in this line and would appreciate your patronage. Our glasses are reasonable in price—your sight is priceless. DR. ROSE M.

For tbe Trade of 1909 /expect to ejchibit the best line of Buggies that ever came into the city of Rensselaer. I have bought three car loads at this writing and if the trade is as good as last season (and I think it will be better) I will need another car or two. I have the agency for none but first-class firms’ goods, the latest styles of Auto Seats and other designs of high-class. All work made up by experiened workmen and no job is misrepresented, nothing but guaranteed work is bought or sold; the best that can be bought is none too good; the good class of work is the winner in the long run. With this fine line of Buggies and Carriages, I also have the Farm Wagon with a reputation behind it, the Studebaker, South Bend, Ind. Some one is advertising wagons built out of White Oak and Hickory—why, that is an everyday occurance with the Studebaker, for the last fifty vears and still at it. The world’s best Mower and Binder, the McCormick, also the McCormick Hay Rake, they have double coil teeth which makes them more than again as good as the single coil. For a Manure Spreader, The Success is the world's best; it regulates the number of loads you wish to put on an acre. I have other articles for sale:—Clover Leaf Stock Tonic and Poultry Tonic, guaranteed to give satisfacton or money refunded. Extras for all machines I sell. . • , C. A.
