THE CHURCH
i
The church is the state’s hope of
stability.
For reasons of citizenship come to
church.
Kindred failures—absenteeism from
the ballot box and from chureh.
Every non^attend&nt virtually votes
for the elimination of the church.
The church stands for the best
things—line up.
Lonely? The church offers friend
ship.
The greatest institution in existence
—the church.
Wherever the church goes she car
ries new light and life.
Worship steadies the storm-tossed
ship of the soul. Come to church.

! A Washday Health Lesson
1 for the Housewife \
2 5
| Ordinarily we like to hold up the
| Orientals as “horrible examples” of
everything that is old-fashioned, but
z in some few things we yet can learn
| from our eastern neighbors.
It is our practice to wait until we
| become ill before we call the doctor.
S
| The custom of the Asiatic folk is to
1 employ a physician to keep them well—
! if a “patient” becomes ill the doctor’s
| fees stop forthwith.
t The health philosophy of the Orien
! tals is precaution.

| Why not make this your philosophy
these winter days—at least to the ex
! tent of playing safe with the washing?
i There is danger to you in washdays
i
steaming tubs; in the dampness of cel- |
lars; in braving rain, snow and sleet I
while hanging out the clothes. Why |
not make yourself safe from these |
menaces of winter washdays by send- f
ing us your family washing?
We can launder everything for you
—cleanse and sterilize household linen -
and personal apparel; give to every I
piece, a fragrant cleanliness; iron for |
you in a manner that will save your f
things, yet give to them a fine dainti- |
«•
ness of finish. !
s
Our way is the saving way—it will |
save you heavy work, save you health, |
save you money. Telephone, or drop |
us a card, and we will have our driver |
call for your family washing. |
I We treat your clothing white f
