NOT HONEST? CITY'S CREDITORS SAY SO

"Ninety-live per cent of Richmond pays Its debts," say a R." E.' Brewer, 'manager of a Richmond credit store. "Of this number," says Brewer, !'four per cent do not pay because of hard luck. Only one per cent are chronic dead beets. I. have been in the retail credit clothing business for 23 years, and I have found that the people of Richmond are the best payers of any In the parts of the country I have worked. ." "Before the war, however, the percentage of payers was not so high as now. Those days wages were not nearly as high as present and people would contract debts and pot be able to pay them. Today, the workingman dresses better than formerly and also pays more regularly." Not All Pay 'Em. 'K)t course," remarked Brewer, "I don't mean that all people pay their debts regularly. I have considerable trouble In having some people pay. When regular "payments are Btopped, I send a collector to the house. If the circumstance warrants it, I give the people time to pay. Often sickness or other trouble prevents them from paying and when I treat them fair by allowing time, they usually return the favor and pay when able." "If the collector reports that the people are able to pay and will not do so," Brewer continued, "I immediately send them a letter using a firm tone and requesting immediate payment. If that does not bring them around I use firmer methods." Pay for Furniture, Too. The manager of one of the largest furniture stores In the city, selling tf furniture on payments, says that very v little trouble is experienced in having bis patrons pay Just debts. Clothing Is "different from furniture, however, as the clothing man has to collect the money or nothing. The furniture man can send a van and remove the furniture. Grocers are the hardest hit of all. People will pay for clothes and other things they could well do without, and not pay for the, most necessary of allfood. People will frequently run a bill at one grocery until stopped, and then transfer the account to another store. Grocers co-operate," however, and check this practice. However, only five per cent, of the total credit sales are not paid.

Great Relief for Kokomo Man After Years of Torture Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas in the Stomach, Pains in the Bowels, Heartburn and Dizzy Spells Bothered Him. ALL GONE NOW "Dreco Has Put an End to Them and I Feel Fine Again," He Says. "I've had stomach trouble for over two years and it seemed I could not obtain relief, but fortunately I read about Dreco and now I am one of its strongest boosters," said Mr. Ezra M. Warfield, of 708 N. Bell St., Kokomo, Ind. "While in the army these ailments annoyed me very much. I'd fill up with gas, which made me very uncomfortable; often had griping pains and felt like I was choking, yet I could not swallow it nor spit it out. My back often ached and I was nervour and couldn't sleep sound; would get dizzy and have spots before my eyes. "One of my friends said Dreco would 'do me good, and he was right for I've taken two bottles and my troubles have passed away. The gas does not collect any more; my food seems to do me good, giving me strength; pains in my back, over my kidneys, are all gone. My bowels act regularly and I never have a dizzy spell. Dreco brought relief after oth

er things had failed." Dreco, the herbal tonic, aids the stomach in digesting the food properly, puts a stop to gas, strengthens the kidneys, rouses a sluggish liver; keeps the bowel3 moving and overcomes rheumatism and catarrh. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's Six Drug Stores. advertisement.

Why Measles - May Be Dangerous ' This is No. 3 of. a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent, physician? Explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages such a3- Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold often" leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Viclt's VapoRub may be o value in this condition.

Few of us escape measles it is one of the commonest of childhood diseases. ' Every mother knows the symptoms, but the mistake that most mothers make is in failing to realize that the child is not fully recovered after the eruption and fever disappear. The air passages are still inflamed and 'if this inflammation is not cleared up," the air passages may be weakened, thus paving the way for pneumonia or serious disease of the hingsv --. "Rightly applications of Vick's VapoRub will aid nature in relieving this inflammation. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots and relieve the cough. In addition, the medicinal ingredients of Vicks are vaporized by

the body heat. These vapors

are Wreathed in all, night long,

bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamecl areas. - Children's digestions are delicate easily disturbed by too. much" "dosing Vicks, ' therefore, is particularly recommended Bince it is externally applied and so can be used often and freely without the slightest harmful effects. Vicks should be rubbed in over the throat and chest until the skin is red then spread on thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. "Leave the clothing loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is' annoying, swallow a small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. Samples to new users will be sent free on request to the Vick Chemical Company, ' 233 Broad Street, Greensboro, N. C.
