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. mice 3 GIVEN AT THE E7 ALL Saturday Evening, 19th EVERYBODY INVITED ADMISSION I Gents 50c; Spectators 25c; Ladies Free "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.

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. WESTERN MACHINE AND FOUNDRY. L. C.

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. 0z3 Sons "EVERYBODY'S STORE" Ergr; 2ZE Local News Trnm Sat'inlny's Taily.
