Swollen veins are dange rous nnd of-
ten burst. Sufferers are advised to get
a two-ounce original bottle of Emerald
Oil (full strength* at any pharmacist
and start to reduce the veins and
bunches at once.
Physicians recommend Emerald Oil;
It is used in hospital practice and a
small bottle will last a long time be-
cause it is very concentrated and a lit-
tle goes a long way. Apply night and
morning with a soft brush as directed
Until the swelling is reduced to normal.
So marvelously powerful is Emerald
Oil that swollen glands nad even goitre
disappear when used steadily.

Don’t Judge Pictures By
The Frames Around Them
Most profile are so heartless and
possess so little of the qua!it; of hu !
man kindness that all they sec in any-
one is what is on the outside. Natural-
ly those* who are handicapped in pre-
senting a pleasing appearance by pim-
ple's blotches ‘ breaking out.” eczema
etc. on their skin are not going to get
any attention. That is the reason you
find such folks so backward and shrink-
ing from the "cold shoulder” they have
come to expect.
You can “make the frame as lovely
as the picture really is” by simply get-
ting rid of those skin di*-figures if
you will just use the wonderful Black

nature and sweet ways will stand out
without any drawback and folks will j

THE CHARGE EVIL
tSo easy to charge—so hard to pay.
And the hardest thing to pay for is something which
is gone. Something to eat is the one thing which ought
not to he charged.
In most instances the merchant can recover liis goods
if not paid for—not so the grocery man as the customer
cats up the collateral.
People who buy regularly from Piggly Wiggly can
save enough to pay the water and light hills. Stationery
postage bookkeeping cost delivery service and clerk hire
all go into the cost of groceries bought on the charge plan.
Easy lies the head that does not worry about an un-
paid grocery bill.
