Colds to Be Taken Seriously

coughing, begin promptly the
use Of Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound. IT. is effective,
pleasant to take, checks a cold,
and stops the cough which
causes loss of sleep and lowers
the resistance. For sale by all

All Of the churches of the
city observed Christmas in one
form or another and gave their
little friends gifts of various
kinds. Some had trees while
others dispensed with the tree
and had only appropriate exer.
cises. It would seem the better
plan for all the churches to
unite and have a municipal
Christmas tree as many of the
larger cities did. There is con.
siderable expense attached tt
having a tree and if all the
churches and civic organizations
would unite for a large mum.
cipal tree with appropriate ex.
ercises, the burden would be
less on each one and the same
good would be accomplished
