Too much credit cannot be given
to the ladies of the Methodist
church for their untiring efforts in
behalf of raising money for the new
church building. They have been
doing everything IN their power to
help pay for the splendid new struc-
ture. Every Saturday they have
been holding a food sale, which
takes time, work and money; but
every week they have been able to
put aside a little money that is
gradually reducing the debt which
they are helping to pay. 1t is the
kind Of spirit that is sure to win.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its
functions. You become .constipat-

your stomach instead of digesting.
This infames the stomach and
causes nausea, vomiting and ter

Chamberlain's Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as
we'll as ever. They only cost a
