hours in games of all kinds, that

fully. At a suitable hour dainty and
delicious refreshments were served by
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. J. F. Gor

Road to Happiness.
Be amiable, cheerful and good na
tured and you are much more likely
to be happy. You will find this dif
ficult, if not impossible, however, when
you are constantly troubled with con
stipation. Take Chamberlain's Tab
lets and get rid of that and it will be
easy. These tablets not only move
the bowels, but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.

"Mothers' Day" was observed very
generally throughout the city yester
day, both in the homes and in the
church services, which were, very
largely attended. At the churches
the services were laid along the lines
of a tribute to "mother," and this
lovable subject formed the topie for
the sermons in almost all of the
churches. To further observe the
day the beautiful flowers of spring
time were distributed at the morn
ing services and at the meetings of
the young men's Bible classes in the
different churches. It was a fitting
day for the observance of the tribute
to the memory of the dearest of hu
man friends, with balmy spring
weather and bright sunshine to per
mit all to get out and enjoy the day.
In the homes of the city the day
had its fullest observance, as all who
could possibly be present were gath
ered around the parental fireside to
pay their tribute to the mother who
had been spared to them, while to
those that had been compelled to part
from mother the day was given over
to one of recollection of a loved one
gone for a short time from their
midst.
Taken as a whole, "Mothers' Day"
was observed in a much larger scope
than in the years gone by, and the
wealth of flowers worn and pre
sented to the mothers spoke of the
sacred feeling that is felt by all on
this day.
Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially care
ful and should eat slowly and masti
cate their food thoroughly. It is also
important that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become consti
pated or when they feel dull and stu
pid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect.
Theodore Miller and wife of Ord,
Xcb., arrived Saturday evening and
will visit here for a short time at
the Henry Steinhauer and J. B. Tip
ton homes. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mrs.
Tipton and Mr. Steinhauer were in
Omaha yesterday to visit Mr. Tiptcn
at the hospital.
Henry Eikcnbary was a passenger
this morning for Lincoln, where he
will visit his nephew, Elmer Eiken-
bary of Memphis, who is at the St.
Elizabeth hospital in that city in quite
serious condition.
Mrs. Wade Windham an dchildren
returned this morning to their home
at Lincoln after a few clays' visit with
relatives and friends.
MR, FARMER!
A half million dollars worth
of perfectly good farm ma
chinery is thrown in the scrap
pile every year in Nebraska.
Farm work is the hardest
work there is on machinery.
Castings break, bearings
wear out, shafts bend and
break. Things get dull and
pill hard, gears rattle, smash,
bang and crash, paint gets clull.
Many farmers throw away
machinery and buy new, be
cause they are not aware that
we can in nearly every case re
make such machinery equal
and in many respects better
than new.
We do not care how bad your
machinery is smashed or worn,
they all look alike to us; we re
make them as good as new and
save you money.
A dollar saved is a dollar
earned; keep your money at
home and you may get it back
again, besides it helps us to
employ home labor.
Put your machinery troubles
up to us; we have the best
equipped machine shop in the
country; if you don't believe it,
call and see us. Visitors are al
ways welcome.
We make everything in
metal. Now is a good time to
overhaul things for the spring
rush.

Keep Down Clothing Costs
To occupy the important place that the merchant does in relation
to the public's needs, imposes responsibility of far-reaching import
ance. And in these times of high costs higher than any of us have
ever known, it is only fair to the people of our community that they
should know how fully we realize these responsibilities.
Today
we all realize that the community is one, not many. That a waste
at anyone point makes a loss to all. This new movement is showing
itself in our co-operative watchfulness over children, in our civic bet
terment associations and in our community, state and national insti
tutions of which we are all a part.
Just as the Stage Coach
owned and driven by one man, has given way to the railroad, owned
and operated by a hundred thousand men, so the individual clothing
merchant must give way to the needs of the times and co-operate
with hundreds of other clothing merchants to secure more efficient
results. It was for this reason that we became members of the United
National Clothiers.
The United National Clothiers
is a united effort on the part of many clothing merchants in 1 4 states
in the Middle-West to buy together, so as to get quantity prices
thus eliminating the costly middleman and his profits, and giving the
public the benefit of these savings.
As Members
of this association and as public servants, it is our aim to provide
the Men and Boys of our city and community with their clothing, at
a marked saving over that of the individual store that buys alone.
Quantity Buying v
is but one of the many ways in which the United National Clothiers
strive to keep down costs. Once these facts are better understood,
you will more fully realize the efforts our store is making in keeping
prices down to the lowest level.
v
Buying
from a United National Clothiers store means that you arc doing
your part in the nation's great thrift movement.
