Mr. James +. Custer. proprietor Of

ing to say about Pep Systemic Pills:
Noticing in the papers that Renfro
had a new iron tonic called Pep Pills.
[ made up my mind that | would try
)ne bottle | have taken only one bot
.,e of Pep Pills and wish to say that
have received fine results from that
one bottle. | never used any proprie-
tary medicine in my life that has given
such satisfactory results and in such
a short time. as Pep Pills. Another
thing | liked about them is that they
are easy to take and do not leave any
lisaCr eeable after-effects like some prep
arations.
my stomach trouble has left me en-
tirely and | have a fine appetite and can
now eat almost anything. ] am feeling
stronger and better now than ! have
for long time. / heartily recommend
Pep Pills to anyone and believe they
are all that is claimed for them. |
might add that l have gained five
pounds in weight, too.
II have taken a number of tonics. but
none of them seemed to suit my case
rs they never seemed to do me much
good. Ny blood has been in bad shape
for several years, and have tried many
old-fa shioned blood tonics to regain
strength. but have never noticed any
cal benefit before taking these pills.
But now l feel also like different per
'on. and am glad to give Pep Pills the
credit"
The above is only one of the many
strong testimonials being received daily.
Pep Pills will help you too. If you are

After the business session games Of

brought their supper in boxes and
the young men had to choose their
partners without knowing Just
whose girl they would get to take to
supper. Consequently the boys nat

Social Circle Meeting.

The Social Circle of the Christian
church met Thursday afternoon at
the ]. w. Haskins home on Garfield
street. This being a business meet
ing, not a very large attendance was
present, but those who were there
enjoyed the afternoon and the re-
freshments provided by the hostess
es, Mesdames Haskins and Wright.
An invitation was extended to the
Social Circle as a society to meet
with the Red Cross workers once a
month to assist in the Red Cross
work at the Elks Temple. The invi-
tation was accepted and the second
Friday in each month was voted to
be set aside for this purpose. The
ladies also made definite plans in
regard to their bazaar that comes off
again this year in December. Ma
terial was given out to be made up
by the several ladies.

w. G. II U. Workers Meet.

The w. c. It. U. ladies met on
Thursday afternoon at the home OF
Mrs. H. ]. Boyd on Aida street, to
do their usual Red Cross sewing.
Nearly two hundred bandages have
been made by the w. c. T. U. since
they first started their sewing cir
cles also other articles, such as pill
lows and napkins. The new band
ages seem to be quite an improve
ment on the long bandages hereto
fore used. Each bandage consists of
six strips of cloth thirty inches long
and two inches wide. Each strip is
cut exactly like the pattern, then
Tapped slightly over each other as
they are basted side by side. After
basting the six strips they are sewed
crosswise on the sewing machine,
thus finishing one bandage. 1t looks
reasonable that bandage that could
be placed under an injured limb
without the limb having to be moved
but once would be more comfortable
than the longer bandages, which take
so long to get In place.
