Housework il_i_rs_:. '/jery!
Housework is drudgery for the weak woman, b.- ^> jshes, dusts and scrubs, or
is on her feet all day attending to the many details or-Sne household, her back aching, her temples throbbing, nerves quivering under the stress of pain, possibly dizzy
feelings. Sometimes rest in bed is not refreshing, because the poor tired nerves do
not permit of refreshing sleep. The real need of weak, nervous women is satisiied
by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and as Mrs. Briggs and others testify :
It Makes Weak Women Strong and Sick Women Well.
This "Prescription" removes tare cause ot women's weaknesses,
heals Inflammation and ulceration. It tratiquilizes the nerves,
encourages tbe appetite and induces restful sleep.
Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know what
his " Favorite Prescription" contains,a complete list of in.
grcdients on the bottle-wrapper. Do not let any druggist
persuade you that his unknown composition is "just as good"
in order that he may make a bigger profit.
Mbs. Bbazili, Bursas, of 539 N. Washington St.. Delphos,
Ohio, writes: "Having taken your 'Favorite Prescription,
for a bad case of Intestinal disease and constipation with
woman's ills, for which I was almost unablo to do anything, I think I am safe in saying that there are no remedies
in the world like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
'Purifying Lotion Tablets.' I am now enjoying the best of
health, and thank Dr. Pierce for his wonderful medicines
which hftVe done me a world of good."

"On the Square"
Little Front—Big Store
The Big Store will offer the largest line of practical gifts,
things useful that make the home .beautiful, and at exceedingly low prices.
We trust that jou will call at your leisure, inspect our
offerings and get acquainted with the big opportunities offered at Huey's.
Don't forget our* Mail Order Department. If you only
knew of the hundreds of people who traveled by rail or automobile to our store the past seaaon to take advantage of the
savings opportunity we afford anyone who will come to our
office ! They are pleased and tell others and the number is
ever increasing. Remember, even though you live in Mercer
borough, the same privileges are yours. There is just one
simple little rnle in our Mail Order Department—cash with
order, and you save an awful lot of money.
From this date until Christmas we offer our entire line of
sample Rugs and sample Carpets at cost. Our room-size
Rugs are the best ever offered in Mercer for the money, a
we positively carry a larger stock and show Rugs quickernd
than any other store in town. Our genuine Dobsons at $25.00
and Shuttleworths at $23.00, both grades body Brussels, and
Smith's Saxony Ax minsters, all first grade, at $18.85, have
sent up a howl all over the Valley. Why ? Because other
dealers cannot duplicate these goods at the same money—and
they kick. We're honest; we are making money on these
Rugs—not selling at cost or under—but have a care ! The
price has been advanced on practically all lines, and if your
regular dealer did not buy about September for next year,
you're going to pay several dollars more for the same Rugs,
unless you buy at Huey's.
Another warning : Some factories have already notified*
us of a 10 per cent, advance in Stoves, to take place January
1st. Why do we tell you this ? We want you to know now,
once and for all, the Big Store is the friend of the people and
a delight to the wealthy—we'll save you money, always.
All orders for Stoves and Ranges taken before December
27th will be delivered, within the next six months, at the old
price. Want to save $2.00, $4.06, $6.00? Then come in
early ; do it the day you read this—not put it off—delays are
dangerous and cost money.
We also want to notify would-be Hoosier Club members
—only five more members to complete our fifth club of twenty-
five each. Who will be the lucky five? Remember, dues
are only $1.00 per week.
