Up System So You May Quickly
Throw OFF Cold and Feel Your

It is impossible to get rid of a dis
agreeable cold so long as your system
is too rundown to throw off the cold
as Nature intended. And you cannot
be healthy or feel good SO long as one
vital organ in your body is not func-
tioning as it should.
This organ is your liver, When
working as Nature intended it purifies
through your liver every fifteen min
utes. Your liver also aids digestion
and nourishment. prevents constipa-
ton and does many important things
to keep your system in condition. But
when it becomes clogged and sluggish
your liver cannot do these three
things. Consequently you often wake
up mornings feeling dull and tired.

symptoms such as lack OF appetite

Federated Clubs Unite and Enjoy
Evening


A very pleasant evening was
passed at the Lawrence High schoo.

when the Federated Clubs united for
an evening meeting and had as
guests two of the State officers. Mrs
Florence Danforth, State president.
and Mrs. Sarah Pennell Reed. State

coming from SkoWheGan.

ing line with Mrs. Horace Parlman
of the Dial Club. Mrs. Ethel Walters
of the Chorus Club, Mrs. +. A.
Knowlton of the Past and Present
Club and Mrs. Clara Jewell of the
Hour Club.
Mrs. +. l.. Tozier then introduced
Mrs. Danforth and spoke Il few
words as to her ability and interest
in her work. Mrs. Danforth gave
as her talk, General Grant, the
Man" She went along and told q
very story-like history of this man.
taking up many instances which one
does not always find along books
in general, of how as a young man
he was not considered one of the
most intelligent or with possessing
much ability. Just some particular
thing was needed to bring out these
things. as the call to arms demon
strated. He met with much dis
enlargement in his early military
days but later proved the wonder
full success.
Being born among the common
class, his sympathies generally fell
their way. In his military career
he perhaps ruled his men n bit
easier than some, making them a
study and at no time said to ex-
press tyranny. She did not attempt
to go into detail of the general his
tory. as this is always obtainable in
American history. Her talk was
brief. but most interesting.
AT the close of her talk. Mrs To-
zier presented to her and to Mrs.
Reed a coursage bouquet of sweet
peas.
Punch and fancy crackers were
served and a social hour enjoyed.
Mrs. Alice Drew is quite ill at her
home on Lower Main street.
