show there has been wonderful prog-
ress. The people are being convinced
and are seeing the true light of the
gospel. In spite of all, the Sabbath

one. Our bishop, M. Richmond, was
present and warned us against the
things detrimental to our souls. Also
told of the sudden death of Sister
Thornton, and the serious illness of
her son, Will. The Sabbath school is
preparing a program for next Sunday
with Sister M. Johnson directress.
There will be papers by several per-
sons; selection by S. P. Quartet; po-

duct; singing by different churches;
lectures by pastors of other churches.

HIS STYLE GOES
BIG IN CHICAGO
Wherever you may go in Chicago
now, you see men with their hair done
like Hal Bakay’s. It’s the newest
thing, and is going over big.
Hal Bakay is the master of cere-
monies at the Regal theatre in Chi-
cago, where his winning personality
has been praised so highly by the
critics. He tells his friends: “This
new idea to keep the hair bright and
evenly brushed, is the best I ever
heard of. I just work a little La-
Em-Strait hair dressing into the hair
then brush it. That’s all. That’s
why so many of the fellows here are
using La-Em-Strait.”
This popular new hair dressing is
sold by all druggists in two sizes—25c
and 50c. Takes just 30 seconds to use
it. Be sure to ask for La-Em-Strait
so you will get the smooth, bright ef-
fect you want, without the grease.

full pint thus made costs no more
than a small bottle of ready-made
medicine, yet it is much more effec-
tive. It is pure, keeps perfectly and
children love its pleasant taste.
| This simple remedy has a remark-
able three-fold action. It goes right
to the seat of the trouble, loosens the
germ-laden phlegm, and soothes away
the inflammation. Part of the med-
icine is absorbed into the blood, where
it acts directly upon the bronchial
tubes and thus helps inwardly to
throw off the whole trouble with sur-
prising ease.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com-
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
taining the active agent of creosote,
in a refined, palatable form, and
known as one of the greatest healing
agents for severe coughs, chest colds
and bronchial troubles.

‘MARRIED LIFE NOT
WORTH WHILE
Blames Wives’ ‘Nerves’ %
- “Weak nerves,” said a New York
doctor recently, “in my estimation
wreck more happily married lives
than any other cause.”
Besides making the sweetest dispo-
sition sour and irritable, nervousness
is a terrible drain on your vital forces
—it saps your youth and your
strength and dulls your beauty. What
a difference from the bright-eyed, vi-
brant girl he married. No wonder
married life seems unbearable!
But you can get rid of your ner-
vousness—speedily too— and become
the steady-nerved, radiant woman
you once were. Try the effect of
Tanlac after meals and before going
to bed, and if it doesn’t soon make a
new woman of you—doesn’t rid you of
that tired, strained feeling—go back
and get your money.
Go to your druggist now and get a
bottle of Tanlac. Millions of folks
have started back on the road to
youth, health and happiness with this
world famous tonic and there is no
reason why you, too, can’t begin to-
day to rebuild your worn-out tissues
and revitalize your entire system.

"Now I Can Walk" Says
Mrs. Southcott
“Here is another letter that makes
me feel proud,” says Peterson. "One
I would rather have than a thousand
dollars.”
“It seems like a miracle, but it’s
true, every word of it.
“I know it because I get similar let-
ters almost every day from people
who have used Peterson’s ointment
for old sores, eczema and piles.
“Is it any wonder I am proud?”
“Dear Sirs:
“I was an untold sufferer from an
old running sore and ulcer. I had
tried most everything without any re-
lief from pain. A friend told me of
your wonderful ointment and the first
box took away the pain that had not
left me before in years, and after us-
ing just nine dollars worth of the
salve I am cured. The ulcer was 9
inches by 61 inches, is all healed and
I can walk. Never, never, will I be
without Peterson’s again.
"You may use this to recommend
your ointment if you wish. I cannot
say enough to praise it.” Yours tru-
ly, Mrs. Albert Southcott, Lyndon-
ville, N. Y. Generous box, 35 cents.
