In Centenary DriUe
First Methodist Church
Goes over Top With Extra
$4,000 To Spare

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
teams appointed to work for the Cen
tenary allotment of the First Meth
odist church met for final instruc-
lions. There were no members OF
the teams absent except those out of
town or sick. They left with enthu
slasm and returned elated over the
results of their canvass. In less than
four hours they were ready to report
that our quota was over-subscribed
by the sum of $4,000.
At the evening service enthusiasm
ran high as the reports of the vari.
Gus teams were placed in large fig
ures on a board before the assembled
congregation, The members of the
various teams made short talks about
the afternoons work. Ono said

splendid. The campaign director was
gratified with the magnificent re-
spouse given him from all the teams
Reports are not all in yet and IT
is expected that the First church will
double her quota before the end OF
the campaign.
The pastor in his remarks AZ the
close of the service expressed his APP
probation of the help the local pa
GERS had been in preparing Cor this

$1,000. To date SIS, 200 has been re,
ported.
AS far as information has been re-

For Overcoming Wife's

'sWell, sir my wife oniy weighed

ty-six pounds, and any medicine that
will do that kind of work is worth

For three long years." continued
Mr.. Hardy, "my wife suffered some
thing awful, and although she was
under the best of treatment all the
time, her condition seemed to get
worse instead of better. She suffer
ed almost continually with q severe
pain in the small of her back which
was caused from the awful condition

would have pains in her sides, too,

she never got good nights sleep.

generally run down that she was not

if it would make any change in her

helped her so much that 1 got an

more Tanlac she took, the faster she
improved, and now since taking four
bottles she is enjoying as good health
as she ever did in her life. Her
stomach seems to be in perfect con-
dition, and everything she eats
agrees with her all right. The pain
has left her back and she never has
the slightest sign of that kidney
