“Do I live in a house or in a home?”’ How many times have you asked yourself that very important question. We are told that the difference between a house and a home depends upon the people who are the occupants. But do those who make this assertion stop to think that the character and dispusition of people depend upon their su:roundings? Go into an unkempt, poorly furnished room and see how long you keep your sunny disposition It is indeed true that more than any other material thing, the furniture makes the home. To make the homes of South Bend and community into homes has alwavs been the primary aim of this progressive furniture store whose owners believe that by carrying out this aim they can serve the community in a very iuportant manner. lhey have spared nothing to give every man and woman in South Bend an opportunity to have a tastefully, if not elaborately, furnished home.

Dr. A. F. Reynolds is a professional man of wide experience and if vour health is not in the best of condition you should go to his office and let him show vou 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 struc- | ture is so constructed that it is un- - natural and impossible for disease to creep in without cause. The nerve

WALKERTON INDEPENDENT

‘system which leads to and conveys life to every remote part of the body {is designed to give perfect health to rall 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 eonditions and permitting nature to heal. Even a slight knowledge of the benefits of chiropractic will prove to you that it is based on seientific principles and a knov iedge of the human body. Once the cause of your sickness 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 for 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 chiropraetic adjustments properly given. We would particuarly suggest that women consult this competent chiropractor before permiiling major or minor operations. Just as every wheel of a watch is necessary, so is every part ;{l;_ our body, to a healthy, normal ife. tite. 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 their daily tasks, whose tired bodies are aching with pain will find in Chirooractic the means of a new outlook on life. You ecannot expect to have a “stronf body until the cause of yous trouble is removed. Chiropractic finds the source of the troub?e and sradicates the cause. One phase of Dr. Reynolds’ ser‘ice that you will appreciate is his ffort to give you the best possible cesulis 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. Every case is carefully analyzed and given close personal at wention.

Os South Bend Located at 217 South Main St., Is One of the Valued and Essential Firms of This Community, Famous For Service and Economical Transportation. Individuals May Rent a Car and Drive It Themselves. No Chauffeur to Bother With. You May Go Anywhere You Will Charges Are Most Reasonable. Convenient For Business and Fine For Pleasure Purposes.

Westervelt, the Manager, is Not Only an Able and Efficient Business Man; He is Popular in the Community and a Man of Civic Vision.

There is a great deal of iruth in the saying of Benjamin Franklin that “If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.” It applies to many ihings and in this day to driving automobiles. 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 (o 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 ecan 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 it. 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 do not have to pay for another man’s time. The wear and tear on the car is no 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 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 accomplished on business errands by this method. There may be deals which ‘should be closed quickly. Getting there late by waiting for a street car, bus, or train may mean the loss of a

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 en%\ance 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 lugzgage 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. And how important it is that cravelling 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 looi. 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 svitcase so that he has to throw dirty shirts all over the floor of the smoker to find a tooth brush. You know that such a man is equally particular and 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 pressed when he dresses in the hotel at his destination. The diseriminating lady travels in the same way. Her toilet articles are neatly packed at her finger tips when | she performs her mornnig toilette before breakfast in the ladies’ room in the Pullman. Her dresses are packed in the separate compartments of her neat but roomy suitease. 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 vou | have a special need come in and talk | it over with one of the managers who | have made a special study of the lugguage line. They will tell you what is | best suited to complete the luggaf:el outfit [for your particular needs. Their ! stock is made up of the highest qual- | ity of luggage which can be bought | on the marEet. Besides the main pieces of luggage, they handle um-‘ brelas, leather gift goods, and those cases of other little luxuries which make travelling a real pleasure. Their wardrobe trunis are a specialty. No store in the state carries a larger line 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.
