Resolutions
As the old year passed out and the new
dawned upon us many of us made new reso
lutions, resolving that we would improve by
looking at the , errors of . the past. Now,
then, if you have not been trading with us
the past year you do not know what, you
have . missed in the way of saving money.
Take our prices all through the year and
, you will find to your own satisfaction that
we are as cheap, it not cheaper, than any
house in the valley. The public knows that
we have been all torn up repairing and en
larging our store. Many carpenters and
workmen have been busy for the past ten
weeks, getting our building in good repair,
so that trouble is about over, and we ex
' '' pect to give more of our attention to our,
many customers than we have been able to
in the past. We have quite a large stock
on hand that must be sold in order to get
room for our spring stock, so come early
and get our prices and we feel quite sure
that you will be satisfied with our merchan-
dise and also our prices.
Thanking you for past favors, we remain,
I Yours Respectfully

AN OPINION
B. H. 'Pratt A M, M D, L L D,
ht-,h medical authority, in a paper
read before an assembly of his own
profession says;
. "Osteopathy to not a science based
upon an accurate knowledge of region
al anatomy, but an art to acquire
which, requires, an educated sense of
touch, a thorough Knowledge of ac
tion and reaction to the various forms
of disease, and the courage of one's
convictions." . ,
"Osteopathy has the advantage of
surgery in that it reduces minor lux
ations and Itolocatlons, (which more
frequently than Is commonly suppos
ed are effective barriers to the recov
ery of health so long as they remain
uncorrected: while, without examin
tog a person from en osteopathic
standpoint these taxations and dislo
cations wouli undoubtedly entirely
escape obeervaticn. So Osteopathy
must rank as one of the most impor
tant measures known for the relief of
all forms of chronic ailments. As
to the methods of applying, principles
in practice it la an effort of Osteopa
ths to reach sympathetic nerves
centers at every available point."

What Roads Owi to 8ilt.
Roods, we are told, owe a great deal
to salt. According to one theory, the
oldest trade routes came into exist
ence as a result of tbe irarUc In salt.
One of tbe oldest roads lu Italy is tbe
Via Suluria. along which the people
of the Sabine country obtained tbelr
salt from tbe salt pans of Ostla. Bait
was tbe main merchandise carried In
the trunsllbyan caravans lu tbe days
of Herodotus, aud salt Is one of tbe
chief elements in the trade along tbe
Sahara caravan routes today. Salt
and salt dsb, It Is interesting to re
member, entered largely into tbe com
merce of tbe Carthaginians. Tbe lat
ter, by the way. was considered a del
icacy lu those pre-Chilstlan days.
