HER BOY HAD ALWAYS
BEEH WEAK AMD PUHY
"My four year old boy had been
weak and puny since birth, and had
constipation and indigestion. Noth-
ing did him any good until we tried
Milks Emulsion. Since using it, he
can't get enough to eat and haB out-
grown his childhood trouble. He
lays out with the children now, and
e was never able to do that before."
—Wm. Heart, 424 Bundy Ave., New
Castle, Ind.
Weak, ailing children usually
start eating and getting stronger
from the very first bottle of Milks
Emulsion.
Milks Emulsion restores healthy,
natural bowel action. Milks Emul-
sion is strongly recommended to
those whom sickness has weakened.
This is the only solid emulsion
made, and so palatable that it is
eaten with a spoon like ice cream.
You are urged to try Milks Emul-
sion. Take six bottles home with
you, use it according to directions
and if not satisfied with the results,
your money will be promptly refund-
ed. Price 60c and $1.20 per bottle.
The Milks Emulsion Co., Terre
Haute, Ind. Sold by druggists every-
where.

GLORY OF THE ORD!NARY
At the Methodist Church Sunday,
the pastor will discuss "The Glory of
the Ordinary." We usually think of
the favored few as the ones that are
entitled to the "Glory," but the or-
dinary folk come in for their share in
the plan and purpose of Almighty
God. Jesus used a very ordinary man
to accomplish success, but what about
the humble followers? The fellow
that can only make a suggestion?
At the evening hour we will have
for our subject, "The Optimism of
Jesus." Jesus was a real optimist. He
had everything to hinder His progress
yet He never lost courage.
Well, we are still on the winning
side, Sunday the Leaguers went thru
the rain and storm to the union meet-
ing at Bethel and brought home the
Banner. In fact it has become a habit
with our young people to win and we
usually take it for granted that they
are going to but we should come to
theiq meetings at home Sunday
evenings and encourage them in the
work and efforts that they are putting
forth that creates the enthusiasm that
makes possible the winning when in
competition with others.
Next Sunday should be a ,great day
when we forget the past and look to-
jward the future fcr greater success
an^ more victorious triumph. "Come
Thou With Us and We Will Do Thee
Good."
Ycu' are invited to worship at the
Methodist Church. Place your mem-
bership in Alto and become one of us.
If you are only a visitor you will find
a delightful welcome.
J. Carroll Cooper, Pastor.
