Watch PARTY,

The Christian Endavor of the Con-
gregational church met New Year
eve at the parsonage to watch the
old year out and welcome in the
new. Ping pong, Finch and such
harmless amusements were indulge
ed until the midnight hour, when
some of the young people stole out
to heschurch and soon the bell was
proclaiming on the air it's siIvery
notes of good bye and welcome.
While the young people were busy
with their a1nusements and frolic
they were not unmindful of the re-
sponsibilities of the worlds great
needs. They honored the dead and
reJoiced in the new birth. They
buried the past remem bering only
the lessons it had taught andlooked
hopefully into the eyes of the new
year, resolving to live better lives
and have higher aims. Believing
man cannot live on bread alone,
cake and snndry other delicacies
were served them and all enjoyed a
thorough good time.

Around every town and neighbor-
hood there are generally some peo-
pie who do scarcely any work, sum-
mer, winter or any other time. They
seem to wear as good clothes and
look as hale and hearty as those who
work every day. Now the question
arises, how do they do this? There
seems to be but one way in which
this can be done. The answer is
obvious to anyone who will give the
thought moments reflection.
Why should this state of things be
permitted in a civilized community.
Why.

Cure for Sick Headache.

We had a letter the other day from a lady in the town of Boulder, Col, that should be of interest to people who are troubled with spells of sick headache. She writes that she had these spells about four times 8 week, was obliged to go to bed and remain there from s to 10 hours each time; had been troubled this way for several years, and the attacks beca me more frequent. Doc tors done her no good: she tried dieting, as everybody said it was from her stomach. Seeing an ad- veFtisement of Dr. Gunn's I'm proved Liver Pills, which said they cure sick headache by removing the cause; she decided to try once more and sent 50 cents for two boxes. She said she had taken the last pill more than four months ago; has not had 8 sick spell of any kind for over five months. Druggists sell these pills fer 2hc per box. It only takes one for a dose; they cure sick headache every time. For sale at the c. A. Cover drug store.
