THANKSGIVING DAY

lhhNhSblNlND DAY
ooh, give thanks unto the
Lord for He is good; for His
mercy eudureth forever. Let
us give heed to those words of
David the Psalmist. Let us not
neglect the annual opportunity
of going to our respective places
of worship aud give thanks unto
the Lord for the more than
bountiful harvest.
We here in Nebraska know
what it would mean il the Gre.
ator entirely withheld this
bounty for one brief season. An
eight billion-dollar harvest has
been safely gathered in.
After such wonderous bounty
from the hand of the Creator, on
Thursday, Thanksgiving Day,
every place of worship in this
broad land of ours should be
crowded with worshippers, eager
to give thanks unto the Land.

Rev. ]. L. Hedbloom will be-
gin a series of evangelistic meet
ings in the Baptist church next
Sunday morning, November 2Sth.
All are cordially invited to these
services. Services will continue
every evening until further
notice.
A very enjoyable social was
given last Friday evening at the
home of Mr.. Chas. Wright BY
the young people of the Baptist
church. The thought of the
evening was childhood" The
motto of the social was: "Back
ward, turn backward o time il
your flight, make me a chilt
again just for tonight. The
formalities of the ordinary socia
gathering were thrown 10 tn'
wind and many innocent child
hood games were entered into BY
all and enjoyed by both old ant
young. Some of the bachelor'
and maidens think that this kline
of gathering would not be ou
place again soon as it cause
them to forget their wrinkles ant
and loneliness of their condition
in the ebb tide of life. Eacl
young lady was dressed as near
ly as possible to represent cir
in her teens. 1t is the opinion
of the writer that some of then
looked better then than now
There were no "rats" in days O

The members appeared in
picnic apparel; brought an up
to.date picric supper, which
hey ate in picnic style. The
guests quite accidently and GER
tainly unintentionally developed
a taste for coal oil. Query, was
"John d" again tampering with
the stuff or was the store clerk
responsible for the mixup?
The members agree that an
indoor picnic is quite as much
sport as an outdoor one. Earl
Molyneaux and Homer Rupert

 Perfect Medicine.

Linonine is blood food-the most helpful thing in all medicine for you. More than one hundred thousand dollars have been expended in mak- ing this FlaAseed Emulsion the most perfect food medicine in the world.
 Linonine Is not a secret remedy the formula is on every bottle. It is palatable emulsion-sweet as cream-made of the oil compressed cold from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and imported from Bombay. Flax Seed grown elsewhere is not good enough for Linonine.
 This Flax Seed oil made in this special manner is combined with other healing and bodybuilding ele- ments and by a series of intricate, scientific processes, requiring 12O hours, is emulsiiied into its delicious cream form. Children and adults alike speak of Iinonine as being sweet as cream" Physicians have prescribed Linonine for years.

 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold."

 Rheumatism generally follows neglect after exposure and the con sequent "cold" or cough.
