Missionary Society MeetIno.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church held its annual thank offering
melting Wednesday night in the church
parlors. 1t being the regular prayer
meeting evening, Rev. Goodwin held a
short service. Miss Bonnifeld, a re-
turned missionary from China, gave a
very interesting talk on child life in
China, and as Miss Bonniield has
spent 26 years in missions, one would
readily know how interesting and in
structive her talk would be. She had
with her laces, handkerchiefs and
collars made by Shinese women on
display, for sale and sold nearly all
she had, besides taking orders for
more. A liberal collection was given
toward a thank Offering. After a so.
cial hour followed, during which about
200 were served a luncheon consisting
of sandwiches, pickles coffee and a
sherbet was served by the hosteses,
Mrs. e. U. Martin and Mrs. John S.
Pitner.

 If there Is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that Dandruft germs do not exist, their belief Is compelled by the fact that a rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks time. It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention Of badness Is the destruction of the germ which act is successfully accomplished in one hundred per cent of cases by he application of Newbro's Herpicide. Dandruff Is caused by the same germ which causes badness and can be pre- vented with the same remedy-NeWoro's , Herpicide.
