is slow death to a community.
Merchants in larger centers will
have little need for spending
money in the small town and they
don’t propose to do so. They are
however, baiting the small town

Human Frailty
The shop owner or merchant who
finds fault with the way the other
fellow is doing business, quite
frequently is the man who him-
self is constantly doing things op-
posite to rules that are best for
the community. Most every line
of business today is confronted
with some problem or another
pertaining to competition. It is
really good that the business
world revoves on principles of
sort. Without them we would all
become stale; there would be no ^ ^
pep or enthusiasm and we would m g^en rule days>

Mr, Average Citizens Not Much Change
Mike ran a hamburger stand in
a large city. He had been at the
same old stand since the year one.
Everyone wondered how he ex-
isted. Apparently Ills worldly
possessions consisted of a fat, ill
kept wife and nine little divi-
dends a year apart. Number ten
had just arrived right on time.
Shiftless Pat approached the
stand, started the conversation
first by condemning the weather
man,and than by trying to save
the country. The conversation
finally drifted* to business. Mike
finally admitted that lie had stay-
ed on the job night and day un-
til he now had a nice bank roll
of several thousand dollars and
was saving ten dollars per week
above all expenses. It was then
that Pat exhibited his only art—
that of borrowing. “Mike, the
woife and kids is hungry; how
about the loan of a foive spot for
a few days” “Foin,” says Mike
“except I have an agreement wicl
the banks that they will not’sell
hamburgers and I will not loan
any money.”
Statistics show that most men
die paupers, and few of them
leave the world with all their fin-
ancial- obligations paid up. There
are two classes of failures. One
is that class that will not try, pre-
ferring to “mooch” their way
Each generation of men from
time immeqiorial has produced
its pessimists and cynics, • who
have viewed with alarm the de-
plorable tendencies of their con-
temporaries.
According to these gloomy in-
dividuals the downward trend of
human morals has always been
in evidence, with the skids to
peridiction well greased.
As a matter of fact, there has
been little change in human na-
ture since the dawn of civiliza-
tion. At any time in the world’s
history there lias been ample
grounds for pessimism on the
part of those who prefer to look
upon the dark side. A Avriter
in the Boston Chronicle in the
year 1800 pictured conditions
closely resembling those of the
present day, from the viwepoint
of the alarmist. In an article en-
titled “Prices Current,” he
wrote:
‘ ‘ Morals—Failing rapidly.
“Modesty (female)—Quite out
of fashion.
“National Honor—None on the
market.
“Public Taxes—In great abun-
dance.
“Religion—No price offered.
“Public Virtue—A contrabrand
article; if discovered Avould ruin
its possessor.”

“I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty-
five years, for it is easy to take,”
writes Mr. George T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. “I take it for con-
stipation and when I have that
dull, tired feeling. I take it for
colds and other complaints where
a good laxative is needed, and I
believe it gives me quicker and
better relief than any other medi-
cine I know. It certainly has
been a help to me.”

Dr. Magnus Hirschfield, the world-known authority on Sexology
and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science of Berlin, Germany,
created-
T1TUS-PEARLS
to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losing
their vital physical power. In his 35 years of practice and research,
however, he realized that the weakening of man’s glands was alsj
responsible for other troubles: High blood pressure, hardening 6lTt$ _
arteries, physical exhaustion after Avork or exercise, dizziness, depres--
sion, neurasthenia, etc.
All these troubles can he removed with Titus-Pearls. Numerous
cases were treated by Dr. Hirschfield in his Berlin Institute.
L. S. (State Official; 60 years old, married) complained of physical
exhaustion, dizziness and tremors. Was easily tired. Mental powers
had been incomplete for previous 5 years. Blood pressure too high.
Given 2 Titus-Pearls 3 times a day. 2 weeks later the medical report
on this man was:—General health better, more vigor; dizziness much
less and returning of power. Treatment continued and 2 weeks later
L. S. reported again, this time to say that all weariness and exhaus-
tion had gone; he felt fresh and buoyant. His blood pressure had
fallen, and at 60 years of age he had regained the physical power and
virility that he had known in the prime of his life.
Start regaining your youthfulness now! To-day! In 2 weeks time
you will be aware of the new, virile force within you. Send §5.00
(cash registered or money order) for 2 weeks treatment.
