The home talent play given
Friday night. Nov. 20. by the
Berean Sunday School class of
the Christian church was espe-
cially enjoyed because of the
fact that the players were so
well known and well liked by the
town.
’Twas a laughable farce known
as "Not So Bad After All,” in
which the leading lady's part,
the nervous invalid was filled by
Miss Sadie Wootton who acted the
spoiled wife afflicted with ennui,
to perfection. Her husband.
Irvine Isaacs, did himself proud
in acting the indulgent husband.
When he rolled the baby on the
stage he almost took the house
down. The gardener and foot-
man’s part was acted so natural

I will ring off with best wishes
to the Reporter and its many
readers. If this misses the

TOO MANY CHILDREN
art undersize, underweight
with pinched faces and poor blood; they
do not complain but appetite lags, they
have no ambtuon and do not progress.
Such children need the rich medicinal
nourishment in Scott ’a Emulsion above
everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tains nature's own blood-forming, tlesta-
buihliug fats which quickly show in roay
cheeks, better appetite, tirm fleah and
sturdy frames.
If your children are languid, tired
when rising, catch cold easily or find
their studies difficult, give them Scott’s
Emulsion; it supplies the very food ele-
ments that their systems lack.
Scott's Emulsion contains no alcohol
and is so good for growing children it's a
pity to keep it from them.

Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Trouble.
Few people realise lo what extent
their health depenoa upon the condi-
tion of the kidneys.
The phyaiciau in nearly all oases of
serious illness, makes a chemical an-
alysis of the patient's mind. Me knows
that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, ihe other
organs cannot really U> brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in HUS. in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, ii behooves
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Or. Kilmer's Swamp-Knot,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realised, according to sworn
statements »ud veritied testimony of
those who have used ihe remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish a sample bottle,
write to Dr, Kilmer A t'o.. Bingham-

close ten cents and they will gladly
forward it to you by Parcel Post.

sert that it was entirely out of
their line of work.
Between the acts Miss Harris
sang “Rendesvou” in a sweet
and thrilling manner.
The orchestra music by Robert
Lee Hale and the Diehls was in-
deed a rare treat to all.
Much credit is due Miss Simms
and Irvine Isaacs for the success
of the play as their unlimited time
was spent on trying to make the
play a success.

A little lumber and a little work will do it. It s just one of those
odd jobs you can do moat any time now and at very little ex-
pense. And the additional warmth and protection and comfort
it will afford you will reduce the coat of the winter s coal.
Ask your wife what SHE thinks of it. Most men find the ad-
