coughs and colds. We consider them
common and harmless ailments. How
ever, statistics tell us every third per
son dies of a lung ailment. Danger

a neglected cold. As your body strug
gles against cold germs, no better aid
can be had than Dr. King’s New Dis

old and young. In use over 45 years.

War Upon Pain.
Pain is a visitor to every home, and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer
gency if you keep a small bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment handy. It is the
greatest pain-killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing
required—it drives the pain away. It
is really wonderful. Mervin H. Bols
ter, Berkely, Cal., writes: "Last Sat
urday, after tramping around the Pan
ama Exposition with wet feet, I came
home with my neck so stiff that I
couldn’t turn. I applied Sloan’s Lini
ment freely and went to bed. To my
surprise, the next morning the stiff
ness had almost disappeared. Four
hours after the second application I
was as good as new. March, 1916.”

appointed, and everything now points
to a pleasant occasion. The committee
decided to have exercises on the even

at 7:30 o’clock. There will be a short
programme, consisting of songs and
recitations, after which Old Santa
will be on hand to deliver the presents
to the little folks. While this is
Sunday-school affair, yet it is open to
all. So come along, bring your pres
ents and put them on the tree, and
thus make a Merry Christmas for some
one. You’ll feel better yourBelf, and
the whole world will seem brighter and
happier to you. The Good Book says:
