NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE SHELTERING ARMS
At the annual meeting held at noon
today of the Sheltering Arms, the old
officers and directors were all re
elected for the ensuing year of 1906.
and the following reports submitted
by the secretary and treasurer:
The nineteenth annual report of the
Sheltering Arms:
This year brings as always fresh
lessons to be learned. I fee! sure
there is not an officer who does not
wish we had achieved more. There
have been about the same number of
children cared for In the nursery as
last year. We have had to change
matrons and to fight ignorance and
prejudice among the factory opera
tives. which at one time was so strong
as to threaten the life of our work.
We are again in order and the present
incumbent seems willing to adopt our
methods.
Financially, we have not reached a
satisfactory condition. Without spe-
the values we are offering with
those offered elsewhere, and you
will see that we give you as hig
a dollar's worth here and bigger
than you are offered elsewhere.
The values we offer you for your
money is the irresistable drawing
power that brings trade to us and
makes our store the busiest place
in town.
We will also say that our fam
ous McKie Country Butter cannot
be surpassed.

THE BULL'S HORNS
That's the Place to Take Hold.
A man says:
"Some years ago. while employed as
an inspector by a large woven wire
Fence Co, 1 was compelled to give up
m.v position because of 111 health
brought, on by coffee poisoning.
"From childhood I had used coffee
freely .and for many years had no
thought that there was possible harm
In it.
“Bui as time weni on I gradually
became the victim of indigestion, then
of heart trouble, then of habitual heud
aches, and finally was completely
knocked out by nervous prostration,
which lost me a good and profitable
job that 1 had held for years.
“At first I scarcely knew what to
rlo, as medicines seemed to have no
lasting effect, but It was up to me
to do something, and 1 turned my
attention to my diet. Having read
more or less about the Injurious ef
fects of coffee, I concluded that I
I would experiment to see whether that
was the cause of my troubles.”
"At first I cut down my coffee al
lowance half, using Postum for the
other half of my table beverage. This
helped me some, but did not do what
1 wanted -it did not relieve me en
tirely. 1 still suffered more or less
with headache and nervousness. Ho
1 just ‘took the bull by the horns' and
cut the coffee off short. From the
day that 1 began to drink Postum ex
clusively my health began to Improve,!
and 1 have continued Its use, as I ex
pect to do for the rest of my life.
"The result Is that I have not had
a headache In years, no man has bet
ter digestion, my nerves are like Iron
and my mental powers .are clearer,
more vigorous and accurate than ever
before. ,
“Shall be glad to testify at any time
that Postum Food Coffee did all this
for me, and keeps me hale and hearty.
I can do no less." Name given by Pos
tum Co., B,title Creek, Mich,

The old saying, "The proof of the pudding
is in the eating," can well be paraphrased by
saying, “The proof of the character of goods
is in their increasing sale."
That we have been justified in increas
ing our facilities is proven by the increase in
the amount of sales to old customers as well
as in the great number of additional customers
whom we have sold the past season.
Our business has been built up largely
on the corner stone of intrinsic merit. We
have always kept abreast of the times, and
fair treatment for so many years arc the main
causes of the confidence which we feel we
inspired in those with whom we have had
dealings.
Our aim and ambition is to have a store
second to none in the South. We shall make
greater efforts this year to increase our num
ber of customers by showing a still larger
and better stock than ever before.

The cardinal points of
Plantene’s superiority as a

Its purity, its healthfulness, its economy,
its richness, and delicacy, its natural yel
low color, and the important fact that
about half the amount does the work of
hog lard or cooking butter.
Plantene never causes dyspepsia as animal
greases do. It is made from choice summer cotton
