Lumber and Building Material. Plattsmouth, Nebraska Jl
Yesterday was observed at the Meth
odist church as Mother's day, and the
spirit of love and admiration of moth
er was made the keynote of the ser
vices in the different Sunday school
classes as well as at the morning wor
ship hour. The choir at the morning
service gave a special anthem which
introduced verses of the dear oid sac
red hymns which has so often been
heard from the lips of the mothers in
the years gone by, and these songs
brought many tears to the eyes of the
members of the congregation as mem
ory brought back the scenes of other
days. Preceding the sermon, Mrs.
William Baird gave a short reading,
"Mother" which was given in a very
pleasing manner and was a beautiful
and tender tribute to motherhood. The
pastor, Rev. Druliner took as his sub
ject, "Motherhood," which was a very
eloquent and pleasing sermon and ex
pressed in beautiful language the love
that a mother holds upon those near
est eo her; of the faith and love that
she lavishes upon her family and of the
struggle that is made to make the
lives of those near her more like the
life of the Master. There was a large
number present at the service w-hich
was very enjoyable throughout.
A Symbol of Health.
The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. As a badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded
as a symbol of health. A red five
pointed star appears on each package
of Chamberlain's Tablets, and still
fulfils its ancient mission as a symbol
of health. If you are troubled with
indigestion, biliousness or constipa
tion, get a package of these tablets
from your druggist. You will be sur
prised at the quick relief which they
afford. Obtainable everywhere. -

that's the remarkable record of this quaint
house built in 1636 by first settlers at Dedham,
Massachusetts.
Exposed to all sorts of weather for nearly three centuries,
the wood is still good. That is because it's
White Pine
the most economical wood for home building the one
wood that does not shrink, warp, swell, crack, twist or
rot that "stays put," even in closest-fitting mitres
and in delicate mouldings the wood that takes paint
perfectly.
We always carry a large stock, and are glad to recom
mend it because it never fails to satisfy. It is a credit to
us to sell, a saving to you to buy White Pine.
And, remember, when you buy lumber here you know
what you are getting. See us before you buy.
