Which costs most—
painting or waiting?
After your house needs painting, every
year you wait it will require more paint and
more labor to put it in good condition. And
every year you wait, your house is worth less.
A little paint-money is good paint-insurance.
Teething babies always
have a hard time of it wheu
this piocess occurs in hot
weather. They not only have
to contend with painful gums
but the stomach is disordered,
bowels loose and the body un-
comfortable. The best help

is McGEE'S BABY ELIXIR.
It corrects sour stomach,
cools and quiets the bowels
and helps digestion. Price 25c

The League met Monday June
5, and new officers were elect- j
ed for the ensuring year.
Quite a bit of enthusiasm was
manifested. The officers elect- |
ed were: President, Mrs. E.
E. Allen; Vice President, Mrs.
Lena Fisher; 2nd Vice Pres*
ident, Mrs. Mart Thomas;
Third Vice President, Luth-
er White; Fourth Vice Presi-
dent. Mrs. Wood*; Secretary
Mrs. Francis; Treasurer, Mrs.
McClure; Reporter, Stella
Salmon; Directors 3.
Monday the League held a
regular meeting and to the
delight aud inspiration of the
new officers chairs had to be
borrowed to supply the crowd.
Among the very necessary
problems to be dealt with
there crept in a question of
how soon should the Presi-
dent don nose glasses. A
vast amount business was at-
tended to and the yearly re-
ports were made to the de-
light of all, especially to the
efficient ex'officers. It was
found the League had amass-
ed the sum of $387 23 and
paid out $367.56. The ceme-
tery fund was found to have
been $20.20 with $19.50 paid
out.
Such a report, not taking
into consideration the good
the town shows it has recei-
ved, is proof enough to con-
vince the people that the
League has come to stay be-
cause it is composed of ladies
who possess vigor, enthusiasm
and ability to sustain that
which tliej' have created.
The ministers and their
wives were unanimously voted
honorary members of the
League and will be with the
League workers they hope.
Remember that the League
begins a new year out of debt;
and with their usual prompt-
ness are already planing what
will be done for Alto in 1916
and 1917.
