Would Not Buy $20 Bill

Offered at Big Reduction

Would you pay, 19 for a- perfectly good $20 bill? You would?; Well, the odd are ten to one that you would do nothing of the sort. . If you are at all interested in this little contribution to the senera! success of a quiet Sunday, pay heed. .Offered a $20 bill at the reduction qucted above you would -carefully look the one who sought to make the sale over and decide on one of two things he is a harmless lunatic or a crook- Yes, you would, too.- At least fifty, people were given a chance to make $1 by exchanging nineteen of thein. for. a $20 bill last week but not one would take advantage of the Fpport unity. - , y - , The experiment was tried by a resident of Richmond with wonderful re- ' suits.- For an entire afternoon the ; bill was industriously peddled- along Main street, on North E and in the vicinity of the station but no takers: were found. It Rfmnlv bymr tn ihnw

that the average citizen will suspect a bona fide offer and fall for a fake. . The Man Who Would Peddle the Bill made a start at Fort Wayne avenue and Main street. The first man he approached -was Industriously hold- , ing up the corner. 1 - "I beg your pardon," said the Man Who Would, '-'will, you please buy this 120 bill? I'll sell it for $19." The man released his hold on the corner and took 'his hands out of his

pockets. His fists were clenched. 'Til.

give you a Bed In the nearest hospital '. If you don't beat it quick." he said, f The bed is still unoccupied? v On the opposite corner stood a delivery, driver. The same offer was made to him. ' His reply, was, "Why not rojb widows and orphans. If that bill was good you would spend it," In Ie6s than one minute two people pVisstd up a chance to make an honest dollar and disprove a theory. Further up on Main street three men were engaged in a conversation. The Man Who Would stood by and listened. They were talking war brides ind one intended to take a chance.

"Want to buy a $20 bill? Sell it

ser $18.? said the Man Who Would, v The three gazed in open mouthed imazement and immediately began to !alk about the great big squirrel. Opportunity passed on. An excellently ippointed automobile stood in front 9f one of the leading department Itores. In it sat a middle-eged wpmtn. Again the Man Who Would took l chance. , "Madam." he 'said, "I have here a )20. bill. So far five people have declined to buy it at a considerable reluction. You may have it for $1.25." The woman was not astonished. Neither was she taken back. Smiling UleaBantly, she said: "Shall I call Mr. Fee, or will you" The Man. Who Would would and did forthwith. A few steos further on two

)roung women, stylishly dressed, were'

azing at the contents of a show winow. Again the approach courteous as made. Would they like to buy a $20 bill, theap? They .certamly would not

Be Energetic Not Tired Out, Good Advice

When a man who loves life throws ut his chest, pulls his cigar from between smiling lips, and says, "I "feel treat I can eat anything." he has it ruck the keynote of content and is Bnvied by his fellows. , But when that same man, only a ihort time before, is all run-down, aervous. and cun t trust his stomach :o accept even the plainest fare,, and then comes biick into hia own. he is lo happy thru he wants to make life better for the" "other fellows" who luffer as he oner did. . It is just this feeling that has prompted many thousands of men and women throughout the United States lo tell -'of the benefits they have deMved from Tanlac the great .reconstructive tonic, invigorant, appetizer and rebuilder of torn-down tissues. Tanlac .appeals to the best people everywhere. Nowhere in .the history of proprietary medicines has there been foupd a preparation that has equaltd Tanlac's record .for instant popularity. Although this now famous Master .dieine has been on the market only a trifle over a year, two million bottles bate already been sold. Tanlau's success is based entirely upon nicrty. In every community there are a legion cf nervous, run-down men and women. Not really sick, perhaps, but affected with a nervous, debilitated condition, so that they imagine countless things are wrong with them. They Have frequent headaches, are sluggish in mind and in body, and they haven-t

enough real energy to make them self-J

reliant in even the little things of life. They need something that contains Ihe right nerve food, tonic, invigorator and appetizer which will awaken their sleeping energies. They also need something to speed up their assimilation to a . normal state, something to bring back old vitality, selfreliance and a cheery view of life. Tanlac will meet these needs. It has proven beneficial in cases of stomach, kidney and liver ills, which are the case of these common disorders. It fortifies one to better encounter fatigue, exposure and the daily grind of life. As the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so is the proof of Tanlac In the taking. Tanlac 1s being especially introduced in Richmond at the Thistlethwaite drug stores, where the Tanlac Man daily explains its merits and the benefits that may be expected from Us use. Tanlac may. beobtained in the folOwing near-by Ohio cities: New

and besides the - attempt to start a flirtation, was doomed. The next prospect" was, an - alert young fellow who appeared to be alive to all ODDOrtunitT. Aaked if hfl would

like to buy a $20 bill cheap, he said: ... , . . -

, i am not interested in season passes to Glen, Miller park, either. I nerer match coins." It will be noticed that so far no one requested to see the bill. Deciding there must be something wrong with the method of approach the Man Who -Would changed his tactics. Taking a stand before a bank building he waited for a prospect. Picking out a prosperous looking individual he said good afternoon and held the bill out on the palm of his hand. "This bill," he said has been turned down by a round dozen of neonle " i

want to sell it. You may have It for

nair Its face value. Give 'you fifteen seconds to look it over. Think quick." ' The nrosnect took the. bill, alanced

at tt hurriedly, sought ought -the silk

maras, crinkled it and smiled. "Why

should you sell it for $10?" "That, sir, is none of your business. Do you .wish to buy?" "Let me see the bill again?" "You had it in your 'hands once and tested it. You know it is a good bill. Take it or leave it. That is flat and final." "Young man," said the prospect, "you are a clever crook. I am tempted to give you $10 just to see how rapidly you can-disappear. Over fifty people were given, a chance to make some easy money and

ail turned" It down. If you do not believe this, try it yourself. You simply cannot sell a $20 bill for $19 or less on Main street. -

AFTER THREE YEARS Richmond Testimony Remains Unshaken. Time is the beet test of truth. Here is Richmond story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which--will come straight home to many of us. J. A. Wi"iams, 221 r. Ninth St., Richmond, tays: "My back ached and mv kidneys were weak. Doan's Kidney Pills strengthened my kidneys and s'rpped the pains in my back. Another of the family has used Doan's KIdnev Pills for backac! : and ki iey trouble with satisfactory results." (Statement given April 24. 1912.) No Trouble Since. On Sept. 13, 1915, Ir.-Williams said: "I havn't had any trouble with -y kidneys since I recommended Doan's Kidney Pills and I believe the cure is permanent." Price 50c, at all r dealers.
