Something To Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to q
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing of impurities IN the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have sried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

some who were net present. we send
you a brief account Of our trip 10
Smith Csptre to attend the seventh
annual convention OF the eleventh
district Christian Eldeavor Union,
held August 10, 10, and IS.
We are at loss to fnd words to ex-
press our thanks for the kind bospi-
tally shown us by the people of Smith
Centre, which after a drive of about
thirty.tive miles in the heat and dust
was duly appreciated.
After resting awhile we were ready
to attend evening services, and as we
entered the court house at the open
ing Of the convention We felt that we
were indeed truly welcome, as some
kind look or appropriate motto greet
ed US from all sides IAis being our
first @. r. cQnVention, We know very
little about convention sermons but
think the one delivered by Rsv. Hill
ton Of Bsloit, must lave been ex.
csptlonally good, and as va went 10
our lodging places after the evenings
exercises we felt that this convention
was to be a very profitable one.
As our time and space are Limited
we will not discuss the various ses-
sions separately, but will say thea all
in all the time was we'll Gpont arc
was no more thoroughly enjoyed b,
anyone than by the people from Lon.
