An exchange is fair in its criticism when it says that some people are so 1 anxious to avoid paying the home merchants 11 legitimate margin they really believe any fairy tale told them by slick tongued traveling frauds who are entire stranger to them. Ninetynine out of a hundred of these “soft snaps” offered by these fellows are swindlers. The best plan is to patronize home merchants- They help pay a very large part of the taxes, help support the churches, the schools, etc., and are citizens among us. They are responsible for the goods they sell, and could be found any time should any- • thing be wrong or the goods not as , represented.

Some men with valuable unused railway tickets on their hands sell them to scalpers, while others go to the railway company that issued them and obtain their value in money. The majority of men, however, do neither, and accept the loss when the ticket is worth less than a dollar. Indeed many men do not realize that railway companies stand ready to redeem unused tickets even of small value, so that the companies must be richer by many thousands of dollars per year by reason of this neglect or ignorance. From LaGrippe. How Dr. Miles’ Nervine Restored One of Kentucky’s Business Men to Health. £ NO DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: “In 1889 and '9O I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervous system with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me. but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intf-nse mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly crowing weaker. When in t hiscondition. I commenced using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve ami in one month's time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who I knew of my condition. I have been in ex- I cellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends." Louisville, Jan. 22, 1895. D. W. Hilton. Dr. Miles’ lervine Restores Health.
