TISSUE BUILDING

Tissue is the doctors for body cells
It is to our bodies what coal is to engine
Every day we burn up a certain amount Of tissue.
Therefore new tissue must be built to take the place OF
the lost fuel.
The food we eat makes this tissue and in healthy
person gives enough fuel to replace the loss
People get thin and run down. because they do not get
enough nourismen from their food to supply the needed
fuel.
When the weakened system does not do it's duty you
must have tissue builder Father Johns Medicine is
real tissue builder because it actually makes flesh and
tissue.
When YOU take Father Johns Medicine the actual food
elements of which it is composed give you strength,
enable the organs of the body to their work
Father Johns Medicine soothes and heals throat and
lungs treats colds, bronchitis, asthma.
People gain weight steadily while taking it.

Wakefield g Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoca, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-

While it is quick and positive in its
action, it is unlike other remedies in
that it is harmless and does not con-
stipate. 1t simply cheeks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions Of bottles that have been
sold, never has a case been reported
to the manufacturer where a cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
 Phoenix camp met in regular ses- sion on Monday evening and the hall was practically filled by the time for the opening of the session. The off cers of the camp feel very we'll pleased with the attendance that we have been having and are especially pleased at the punctuality of the members, there being very few who are not on time at the opening of the camp.
 Those members who were not on time Monday night missed a treat, for Cap tain Sloan had his faithful team all trimmed and decorated, and the way they put on the work was something grand and a sight to swell the pride of every loyal Woodman. Go to it, boys; we are behind you, each and every one of you, from the captain down.
 There were some very important matters brought up under the head of good of the order, and a great many took part in the discussion. The chief speakers, however, were our state manager, Sovereign Stewart, H. A Davis, R. c. Sloan, J. B. Sloan, Pryor and others.
 OhhST luO uSdu Oi IepOfLS OI com mittees. our auditing committee sug gested that the camps books be audit ed, and upon motion they were in- structed by the chair to secure the services of some competent public &C., countant and proceed to audit the books.
 The chair appointed Sovereigns Thomas W. Nealon. H. A. Davis and Anderson as a special committee on matters pertaining to the welfare of the camp.
 Remember that Phoenix camp meets every Monday evening at o'clock sharp, and if you are not there on time you will miss something, for we have something doing all the time. A special invitation is extended to all visiting Woodmen to come up and meet with us; you are always welcome and you will find us wide awake.
 Every third Monday evening in the month is social evening, and our com mittee never disappoints us. Remem Der, we start at sharp.
