Let their bright flames reveal Thy hand To hearts bowed down with care; May their soft ligtit lift shadows deep To show that Thou art there. And for myself, I ask but this: Swift hands for loving deeds; Kind words of sympathy/ttj^ ■ And thought for others’ iie<^. And, Lord,, lest 1 forg^ to ask.

Drawing Saturday Night, at 7:30 Baldwin's Grocery When The Baby Is Sick! =— B i When the baby is sick one of the first things you do is to call the DOCTOR^ And that’s 0 always the best procedure. Jlome remedies are all right In their place, but when a baby is sick no time should be' lost in experimentation with proprietary m^icines. And what comfort and peace of mind the.DOCTOR brings. Within a few minutes he is in a position to determine thh seriousness of the sickness and relieve the anxiety of both father and mothjer. He writes out a PRESCRIPTION and tells you to have it hlled right away. ; E E Now the job of filling the PRESCRIPTION is no smafl matter. It should be taken to a PHARMACY that makes a specialty of PRE^RIPTION filUng; one where experienced graduate PHARMACISTS are employed for this exacting work; one that uses only the highest grade of materials, such as the Sadler-Owens Pharmacy. • TWENTIETH Xl^IVERSARY MONEY SAVERS E E E E E Shomak-Davis AnnouncenKent is made of the mar riage of Miss Woody Mae Shumak and Orin Davis, on Hraraday,"Decem ber 24.
