How Much Salary Do You Get?
That is a very Importaut question when you so to figure up
what your expenses are and how much you will have spent after
all necessaries are paid for. You probably need some few pieces
of furniture and after you have bought them of R. A. Jones you
will not have to pay for them only as you are able say at the rate
of two or three dollars per month. Consider this matter! There
are thousands of persons buying this way every day and you may
as well be getting the benefit of easy payments as they. If you
hae never tried this plan let me show you how easy It Is to pay
for goods you really need and you hardly miss the money. You
can furnish your home at R. A. Jones and pay by the week or
month as suits your convenience.

I The Cocaine Fiend.
I The proposed ant I cocaine law
'which will llkoly bo passed by tho

conditions there as well as lu

cocaine whenever they please and lu
any quantity as a result or whlcli
the number or cocaine tlends are rap-
Idly Increasing. The cocaine habit
is worse than any other more deadly
in Its roaulth and more dillicull to
overcome. The druggists of Okla-
hciiia say they will give their recom-
ii'i mlutlon to iho proposed law as all
I'rttgglsts dread contact with those

The number and appearance or
