Our new “wonder-tablet” —
AR-l'AN-EX, QUICKLY eases
most pain from arthritis, rheuma-
tism, neuritis or lumbago or . . .
YOUR MONEY BACK!
It’s the HONEST truth —this
new, scientific preparation has
freed thousands of happy folks
from pains of stiff aching muscles,
sore joints and miserable days
and nights. Those who TRIED
EVERYTHING and had to GIVE
UP are happy now — thanking
heaven for AR-PAN-EX.
It’s a shame—that thousands
who COULD find RELIEF, but
are beset by DOUBT, will con-
tinue to live in agony—look and
act older than their years—be a
trial to their loved ones—because
they didn’t have the 'get to’ to
use a modern pain relieving mir-
acle. It IS true—it IS here—it’s
AR-PAN-EX. Use this wonder
pain reliever . , . TODAY!

Legion Auxiliary Meets
The American Legion Auxiliary
met Monday in the American Le-
gion Hall with each one bringing
a gift for the veterans in Mc-
Kinney hospital.
A covered dish dinner was
served. Plans were made for the
annual American Legion Christ-
mas party which will be Decem-
ber 16th.
Members present were Mmes.
Homer Burge, Victor Rickey,
Norman Branson, Reinhart
Heinze, Todd Fryar, L. D. Falls,
J, T. McPherson, Will Kranow,
Howard Williams. John Williams,
Joe Garlington, Laurence Foster
and Miss Reba Burright.
This year with more and more
patients going into the veteran’s
hospitals everywhere, the need
is greater for more gifts.
Many of these veterans have
given arms, legs, eyesight or
have been crippled for life in
serving our country. The Ameri-
can public can repay in a small
part by helping them this season.
These gifts are placed in the
gift shop at the hospital to pro-
vide gifts for the veteran to make
his own selections for his family
for Christmas.
Anyone interested in donating
a small gift may call the presi-
dent of the American Legion
Auxiliary, Mrs. Homer Burge,
phone 355 and the gift will be
picked up.
