The next gift day in Decatur is December Sth and then the very next Saturday comes Children's Day when you will want to meet Santa Clause in Decatur. Bring the boys and girls in tor that day. Watch for particulars Did you go to church yesterday? If you did we are sure you enjoyed the services and recognized the big part the churches are taking in present affairs and that part will get bigger and more important as the months come and go, so keep on going. Help our pastor in the greatest work ever performed in this world. It's as important that the soldiers at home 1 e brave and strong and willing as it is in the trenches. Every church was crowded yesterday for every service and might we suggest that the "Go to church" services ought to be given four times a year in preference to once. While we know that people ought to have this interest without being boosted, we believe the church is similar to a business and the more alive they are the bigger the attendance, the (•mo-re healthy the organization and the great er amount of good as a consequence. The expense is slight compared to the results, we are sure. It would have been wonderful to have had a community meeting yesterday at which the Y. M. C. A. message could have been told to hundreds at one time and we could have had it if we would build the auditorium. We could also use it for a hundred other things and we could use it every we?k and nearly every day. in this age when we go out and raise thousands of dollars every few weeks it seems as though we ought to secure the building which would help in all these projects so much and when the cost thereof would be only a couple of thousand dollars. Your attention is galled to the corner of this edition headed “Butterfat" a paper within a paper. It is the week ly message of the Martin-Klepper company. a live concern, doing their best to meet the requirements of the government to produce more butter and more cream and they are doing it. The plant helps this community wonderfully and the message they give you each Monday through ’ these columns is worth your attention. We know the company will appreciate suggestions which will improve Butterfat and your careful thought and your ideas are desired. Adams county had about fifty extra preachers Sunday and though not regularly engaged in that high calling each of them made good. They were the men sent cut to spread the word that the boys at the front need more help. The Y. M. C. A. is asking for
A Mackinaw for that boy will be both a comfort and a good investment. All wool and a good assortment of patterns. $5.50 to $8.50. THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY
funds with which, to continue thtir wonderful work for the aoldiero and they must have five thousand dollars or more from this county. The boosters are "up on their toes" and the cam pnign will be a whirlwind success according to the present outlook. It ought to be a pleasure for every citizen of this prosperous county to give their proportionate share and we believe it will be. The contributions have started even now and will keep up until we are "over the top."

KEEP LOOKINLYOUNG It’s Easy—ls You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel young — to do this you must watch your liver and bowels — there’s no need of having a sallow complexion — dark rings under your eyes — pimples —a bilious look in your face — dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities. You will know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets by their olive color. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.
HE cm CHRONIC COLD WITH VINOL Mr. Bagley’s Letter Printed Here as Proof Dunn, N. C.—“l suffered with a chronic cold for four months, coughed day and night. Had to keep on working when I was not able to. I saw Vinol advertised and tried it, and I want to tell you it just cured that cold in a short time.”—J. C. Bagley, Dunn, N. C. That’s because Vinol is a constitutional cod liver and iron remedy which aids digestion, enriches the blood and creates strength. Then chronic coughs and colds naturally disappear. Your money will be returned if it does not help you. Smith, Yager ft Falk, druggists, Decatur, and at the best drug store in every town and city in the country. ■ 1 --.

To Prevent Old Age Coming Ido Soon! “Toxic, poisons in the Wood arc thrown out by the kidn- ys. The kidneys act ns filters for such products. If we wish to prevent old age coming too soon and increase our chances for along life, we should drink plenty of pur,' water and take a little Anuric,’’ says the world-famed Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. > When suffering from backache, fro-' quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there, or that constant tired, worn-out feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain a little Anuric (double strength) from your nearest druggist and you will quickly notice the grand results. You will find it more times more potent than lithia, and that it dissolves uric acid almost as hot water does sugar ADVICE TO WOMEN. New Albany, Ind.— ‘‘l had been suf-
sering from woman a trouble for several years. Had used several patent medicines which seemed to do me no good. At k times I would lose Con'S sciousness and fall over on the floor I suffered so. I tried several doctors but they did not do me any good — they would only relieve
I ■'
me for the time being. My husbands nother told me about Dr. Pierce s ravorte Prescription. I took several bottles >f it and am glad to say that 1 am now sound and well. I certainly think it is a treat medicine and recommend it to tnvone suffering as I did, for 1 am sure t will cure them.”—Mbs. Charles E. ,Velch, 414 W. 6th St. Get the “Prescription” from your drug--ist to-day—either liquid or tablets —or end Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., 10 cents for trial package of the tablets.
