The home of Mr.. and Mrs. c. S.

beautiful scene yesterday afternoon,
when the members of st. Margaret's
Guild gave an entertainment of I'M
usual excellence, the participants be-
ing composed entirely of the little
folks who took part in the spring fes-
tival given by the teachers of the pri-
mary school a few weeks ago.
The entertainment was for the ben

tended by the parents and friends of
the children taking part, all of whom
were delighted with the splendid
features given. Several tableaux were
arranged, the scenes being taken
from the spring festival. The beauti-
full little fairy-like folk dancers
brought forth hearty applause. The
children dancing were Frances McIv-
er, Chivalette Smith, Maurine Gober,
Fanita Cobb, Mary Christine Cassels,
Barbara Wear Johnson and Margaret
Gerig.
Two third grade boys, Henry Cam
eron and Harold Knight, sang in fine
voice two songs, ''The Bundle Bee and
Rose Bud" and "The Woodpecker."
The bee and butterfly dance was the
next number on the program. The
boys and girls who participated were
Edward Helvenston, Sewald WEIGH,
Howard Bilbro, Harry Clarkson, Luz
ther Brinkley, William Edwards and
Selma Reynolds, Mildred Gallant, Eli
zabeth Adams, Mary Blowers, Virgin
ia Johnson and Mary Troxler. Miss
Eunice Marsh furnished the music.
Lovely little Margaret Gerig gave a
patriotic recitation in a very pleasing
manner.
Many of the ladies of the guild as
sisted the hostess in making the party
the success it was.
The sweetly and attractively gown
ed young ladies, Hannay Ellis, Edith
Edwards, Sidney Cullen and Blair
Woodrow served dainty refreshments
of oatmeal cookies and punch, and the
guests mingled together informally,
making the affair one of pleasing So
liability and one of the most delight

Wash away all the stomach,

breath or dull your head; no consti-

ache, colds. rheumatism or gassy,
acid stomach, you must bathe on the
inside like you bathe outside. This
is vastly more important. because
the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do. says a well-known
physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, drink be-
fore breakfast each day. a glass of
hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the en-
tire alimcntary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
IS inexpensive and almost tasteless
Drink phosphated hot water every
morning to rid your system of these
vile poisons and toxins; also to pre-
vent their formation.
