The community was visited by n
light snow Sunday afternoon. It
melted immediately after hitting
the ground, but it was thick in
the air while it was snowing. We

white Christmas, but it melted,
while it is cold today.
Everyone is looking forward to a
good time during the holidays.

Speedy Relief For
Sore Throat
THIS DOCTOR S PRESCRIPTION
REQUIRES NO GARGLING
No longer is it necessary to gar-
gle and choke with nasty tasting
medicines to relieve sore throat.
Now you can get almost instant
relief with one swallow of a doc-
tor's famous prescription. This
prescription was refilled so often
that t^i druggist who originally
fil^^PBlecided to put it up under
the name "Thcxine" and make it
available to everyone.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that it relieves almost
instantly, yet contains nothing-
harmful. It is pleasant tasting,
and safe for the whole family, and
is guaranteed to relieve sore
throat or coughs in 15 minutes oi
money back. Put up ready for use
in 35c, 60c. and SI.00 bottles. Sold
by all druggists.

Public expenditures in the Unit-
ed States absorb 14 per cent of our

according to Silas H. Strawn. In

Whkn I was a child, if I did
not feel well, or if I had a cold,
my mother gave me Black-
Draught," says Mrs. Orpha
Hill, of Wofford, Ky. "When I
was married, it became a fami-
ly medicine in my own home,
as it was in my mother's.
1 take it for headache and
2^ especially for constipation.
When I get bilious, my skin
gets yellow and I have a very
bad taste in my mouth, and a
▼ drowsy feeling all during the
^ f day. My eyes burn and I
i ? ditty, or my head is *
ming.' When I take
Draught, it seems to drive the
impurities out of my system
ana I feel fine. I am seldom
without this reliable remedy.'
