As people saw how marveloualy the most sluggish bowels are started and bad breath, headaches, fevrrishnesa, nausea, gas, poor appetite, and such disorders, are relieved by fee prescription. it became necessary to put it up ready far use.

VALUABLE HINTTO MERCHANTS flow Laurens 8U>re Keepers Have Solved Problem of Had Debt* A recent meeting! of the Merchant* association of Lauren* had a discussion of the wonking of a plan inaugurated there some time ago, and it wmb unanimously voted a big success. WhWi means that it is putting good money into the cash registers every day * in that town. It i? so simple that the merchants of any tewn may adopt it?and it contain* some hints to ipepple who are alow pay that they had better prepare for a jolt. The president of the I<auieu? association, K. Rice Nickels, explained the plan ami ?ard that a secretary was regularly employed to attaint the members in regulating local credit. Kaoh member was expected to report the names of delinquent purchasers, check fhidhers and other questionable trade risks to the secretary who in turn kept the names on file for the benefit of the members. Members have access to these files throughout every business day and in that way are put in possession of credit information which would save them < from extending credit where such credit is not justified. The experience of many members, he said, had already lx*en that 'people who' were formerly very slow in meeting their bills are now paying up rather that get their names on the secretary's books. In the round.table discussion which followed numerous members endorsed what Mr. Niikels had said and told <>t individual cases without giving rr.mfr-' where the credit information n..< ne-n valuable to them. The general (.pinion was expressed that the organization had proved it> . 1 vti y v^IuuiLle during the past yea! and the hope was expressed that other merchants would join. The association heard v arious ^suggestions as to how to make the credit plan more effective during the coming year.
