Dr. A. F. Reynolds is a professional man of wide experience and if your health is not in the best of condition you should go to his office and let him show you exactly where the cause of your suffering is, and explain to you just how chiropractic adjustments will remove the cause. Bodily ailments come as a, result either of a violation of nature’s laws or on account of an interference with nature’s way to keep the body in perfect health. The human structure is so constructed that it is unnatural and impossible for disease to creep in without cause. The nerve

system which leads to and conveys life to every remote part of the body ;is designed to give perfect health to ! all the organs and keep them in repair. If there is the slightest interference with the nerve communication there is bound to be disease in the particular organ supplied by the nerve so obstructed. Chiropractic adjusts the obstruction and thereby removes the cause, thus restoring normal conditions and permitting nature to heal. Even a slight knowledge of the benefits of chiropractic will prove to you that it is based on scientific principles and a knov ledge of the human body. Once the cause of your sickness is done away with, your disagreeable symptons are bound to disappear. Chiropractors do not treat symptons because, regardless of how long the symptons were treated, if the cause remained, the tendency would be fol the patient’s sickness to stay with him. Neither does Dr. Reynolds believe in operations to the extent now practiced. Thousands and thousands of operations for removal of tonsils, adenoids and other parts of the body could be avoided and patient restored to health under chiropractic adjustments properly given. We would particuarly suggest that women consult this competent chiropractor before permitting major or minor operations. Just as every wheel of a watch is necessary so is every part of our body, to a healthy, normal life. file. We do not believe that the Creator made the mistake of putting too many parts in our human machine. Mothers who are lacking in strength and energy to perform Uu»ir daily tasks, whose tired bodies are aching with pain will find in Chirooractic the means of a new outlook on life. You cannot expect to have a strong hotly until the cause of youi trouble is removed. Chiropractic finds the source of the trouble and eradicates the cause. One phase of Dr. Reynolds’ serice that you will appreciate is his effort to give you the best possible results with Chiropractic adjustments that are not severe. You need not be afraid of being hurt if you go to him. He has spent much time and effort ! n developing a method of adjustment that is practically painless to the patient. A trial will convince you.

There is a great deal of truth in the saying of Benjamin Franklin that “If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.” It applies to many things and in this day to driving automo biles. There are a great many times when you have use for a car when one of your own is not available. Or perhaps you haven’t one, yet know perfectly well how to drive a car. In any case the fact remains that you can usually drive where you want lo go, much more easily than you could direct a driver or chaffeur how to get there. It was to satisfy just such needs that the managers of this firm opened their establishment. Here you can rent a car, have full use of it just as if it were your own and you don’t have to bother with anyone else driving il; - ... i There is another consideration and an important one; you can rent a car to drive yourself much more inexpensively than you could hire a taxi or rent a car with a driver. The reason for this is obvious. You <lo not have to pay for another man’s time. i The wear and tear on the car is no I greater if you drive it than if anyone else drives it. And when you drive it yourself you are wasting no one else’s time. The uses for a rented car are various. You may wish to get to a number of places quickly. There is no I quick transportation there. What ; could save you more time and money ' and trouble than a car rented for as long as you want it and that you can ■ drive yourself. Much can be accomi plished on business errands by this method. There may he deals which • ; should be closed quickly. Getting 1 there late by waiting for a street car, bus, or train may mean the loss of a

i nothing that will enhance the value of your personality.” The old man > spoke from experience gained in a successful business career. He knew as we all know that neither clothes nor luggage nor any other external thing really makes the man, but it is important to bear in mind that the world judges a man by externals just as you make your first judgment ot a store by the appearance of its show window'. But good luggage is not only an ornament to enhance your appearance; it is a practical necessity. To furnish this community with luggage that is distinctive, yet useful, is the ' function of this well known local luggage shop. And there is everything here in the way of luggage, from collar box to wardrobe trunk. Your ! travelling equipment can be made complete here. Ami how important it is that travelling equipment be complete.• Who is the man or woman at whom people look twice on a train? He’s the man whose luggage has that snappy, distinctive look. Furthermore, he is completely equipped. When he goes in to wash for dinner, he takes his “Gladstone” with him, opens the side on which he has his toilet articles, pulls out his travelling toilet set and there is everything, conveniently arranged, neat, not scattered all over a cheap suitcase so that he has to throw dirty shirts all over the Hoor of the smoker to find a tooth brush. You know that such a man is equally particular ami systematic about his business affairs. You know that up in the baggage car, his extra suits are neatly pressed locked in a wardrobe trunk where they will remain neatly I pressed when he dresses in the hotel at his destination. The discriminating lady travels in the same way. Her toilet articles are neatly packed at her finger tips when she performs her inornnig toilette before breakfast in the ladies’ room in the Pullman. Her dresses are packer! in the separate compartments of her neat but roomy suitcase. She is the type of woman whose home is the talk of her friends. There are types of luggage to suit the needs of every indiivdual. If you 1 have a special need come in and talk it over with one of the managers who have mad" a special study of the lug- ’ gage line. They will tell you what is best suiter! to complete the luggage outfit,for your particular needs. Their stock is made up of the highest qua! ity of luggage which can be bough*. | on the market. Besides the main i pieces of luggage, they handle uni- I brelas, leather gift goods, and those • cases of other little luxuries which make travelling a real pleasure. Their wardrobe trunks are a specialty. No store in the state carries a larger lin* of wardrobe trunks and offers a greater variety from which to choose. It is a real metropolitan luggage shop. The owner of this store is a man who takes pride in his business. H also takes pride in the fact that he a resident of this community and does not hesitate to express that pride in I every possible way.
