Uie majority of the presents were useful
i!nd the trees were nicely , ornamented

i he cross on the tree for F.F. Kayler
hud a head for business for it certainly

"When the butter won'
come put a ponny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. It often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
cain strength and flesh we
say give them Scott's Emul
sion. ,
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
.Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oi
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the tasle
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-1
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scott's Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treatment.
We will send you
the penny, . e., a
sample free.

they came to a piece of road that was
just awful. Then they talked some
about roads the advantages and dis
advantages of plank road for bicycle
riding. All they said will never be
published, but they were talking at the
rate of 280 words a minute, when they
came to a piece of road that had just
been completed. It is a little rough in
spots yet, and the youug man said after
ward that it was the greatest temptation
he ever had to keep from slipping his
arm around that dear girl's waist; but,
then, she would not have objected. 0,
God bless a man like Gibbs; his roads

crumble into dust beneath the weight of

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble. .
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon
for a child to. be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when It should be able to
control the passage, It is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these Important organs. This unpleasant
trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
