CLUB HELD ITS OPENING MEETING On Wednesday night of- last week, the Young Married People’s Club of Gorrie held their opening- fall meet­ ing, which took place in the school­ room of the church, nicely decorated in autumn colors, along with Thanks­ giving studies, one part being espec­ ially so, for among the corn were the pumpkins, apples, peppers, beets, mar­ rows, . all lending themselves in ’ the unique decoration. Among all this was a tripod upon which hung the witch’s black kettle. The witch her­ self, getting older with the years, in due’ time took her place and by stirr­ ing furiously brought forth the for­ tunes of all present. A weird picture this all made with a coal-oil lamp for the lighting of this particular scene. Three tables of Chinese Checkers kept the members engaged until itl was time for an “Ask Me Another” contest got under way. Following the witch’s visit, out of the same setting came forth, the music for the sing-song, with the concluding- number being "The Little Brown Church.” The devotional period was conducted by the pastor, Rev. H. N. Watt, whose Scripture lesson was found in the 8th chapter of St. John’s Gospel, and was followed by a short . devotional address, and closed with the hymn “Abide With Me”. Everett Sparling conducted the business, and arrangements were made for the North group to be responsible for the next program to be held on Nov. 1st at 8.15 sharp in the church. A nom­ inating committee was appointed to present a new list of officers for the coming year. The committee in charge then ser­ ved a lunch of fruit, bread, pumpkin ’pie, watermelon and tea.

BOB PEARCE A KRUSCHEN BOOSTER “KEEPS ME FREE OF POISONS" says world's champion pro sculler You should read what Bob Pearce says about Kruschen Salts. ”1 consider Kruschen Salts excellent as a preventive against common ailments that bring discomfort and worry to people in all walks of life. The body requires certain mineral salts and the daily dose of Kruschen is a good way to get them into the system. I take Kruschen every morning, myself—iust a little—and it is absolutely tasteless in coffee or tea. Kruschen is a combination of several highly refined mineral salts. One, for example, combats excess acid so.cominon in cases of heartbumj another aids the kidneys to eliminate poisons; a third helps purify the bloodstream—and so on. Why not try Kruschen Salta starting immediately and see .. for yourself how very- little it costs to feel like a millioa dollarsl Bottles, 2.5c, 45c and 75c atI ana < oc ac ITS THE LITTLE ±^rus DAILY DOSE °re3’ ■iB THAT DOES IT on Wednesday last when the after­ noon was spent quilting.
