MRS. MARY SARTIN, of R. F. D. I, Sardis, Miss., writes: “1 had been suffering some time with a worn-
out, fagged feeling; not sick in bed, but sometimes felt I would have to go to bed. My stomach didn’t feel good,
would be bloated, and a good deal of gas. 1 began to have headaches almost all the time. 1 was afraid 1 would
have fever, 1 felt so tired cut. I heard of Ziron, and decided to try it, as 1 knew 1 needed a tonic. I found it good,
! rested better and felt stronger, my food seemed to digest much better and 1 improved all around.” Try Ziron today.

Authorship Long Hidden.
The Waverley novels were so called
because the first of the series was
called Waverley. It was published
anonymously in 1S14, and was follow
ed, year after year, by other novels
all published anonymously until 1827,
■when at a public dinner party Scott
admitted the authorship.
An Art Aphoriam.
Here Is an art aphorism from Jean
Francois Millet: “I have been re
proached for not observing detail; I
see It, but I prefer to construct the
synthesis which as an artistic effort is
higher and more robust. You reproach
me with insensibility to charm; why, I
open yfiur eyes to that which you do
not perceive, but which is none the less
real—the dramatic.”
Water Softened With
Red Devil Lye
Cleans everything instantly. Soft
water makes washing easy, and just
a little Red Devil Lye in a tub of
hard water softens it like rain-water.
With Red Devil wash water you
use less than half the soap and the
daintiest fabrics will be whiter than
usual —with little or no rubbing —
it’s the rub that ruins.
Works Wonders
throughout the 1 home. It will keep
bath-tubs, v/ash bowls, toifels and
kitchen sinks white, clean and sani
tary. It whitens and removes grease
spots from floors, windows, tile or
marble, and does the household
dirty work in a hurry—without
trouble and with little expense.
Red Devil Lye also makes won
derful soap, peels peaches in a jiffy.
It is the real housekeeper’s friend.

such a tree, hacked be

relief measure to employ. Members
of the U. S. Food Administration

endeavored to curtail in every possi

America is today the great larder of
the allied nations. Out of our food
stocks we must save enough to feed
our European associates in this war.
EVERYONE MUST HELP.
Wars cannot be fought without money, and upon the Treasury center*
every financial demand upon the Nation.
The rich of this country cannot alone meet the needs of the Nation;
the men of the country cannot do ft alone; the women of the country
cannot do it alone; but all of us, the people of the United States, disre
garding partizanship, forgetting selfish interests, thinking only of the
supremacy of right and determining to vindicate the majesty of American
ideals and secure the safety of America and civilization, can do the great
and splendid work which God has called upon us to do.

Atlanta.—“The more people who buy
$50 bonds and $100 bonds and $500
bonds, the better it is for America
and the more discouraging it is to our j
enemies! ”
This is the message which Secretary
oi the Treasury Mc-Adoo bore to the
people of the Sixth Federal Reserve
District in his tour of the district last
week in the interest of the third Lib
erty Bond campaign.

in six cities of the Southeast, the Sec
retary was cheered to the echo by his
immense audiences, as he told of the
needs of the government, the character
of the bonds, and made a stirring plea
for every man, woman and child in
the district to get into this war which
is now being waged for their liberties,
if only by the purchase of the smallest
bond.
Mr. McAdoo made it plain that with
out the aid of the farmers of the
South, of the merchants and profes
sional men and all rhe laboring classes,
the third loan would be a failure,
which would be worse than a German
defeat.
“The banks must perform their nec
essary functions and keep their funds
in liquid form to supply credits to the
industries engaged in the manufacture
of munitions of war and in carrying
on the general business of the country,
and we must not take all the funds out
of these banks,* he continued.

Share Your Pleasures.
It has been said that happiness
which has not been shared has no
taste. If the pleasant things which

less, perhaps this is the explanation.
Put gladness into another’s life, divide

three, and your happiness will have
plenty of flavor.
Goldbeating an Ancient Art.
Goldbcaling as an industry is as an-
and wonderful. It is practiced in al
most exactly the same way today as
it was i y goldworkers of ancient
Greece and still more ancient Egypt,
Incredible as it may seem, there are
well-authenticated instances of gold

subscribed, but that this issue was , . ,.
taken by fiUeen or twenty million of j r J« r! f*
American citizens!”
In his speech, which rang from one
end of the district to the other, the
head of the treasury traced the part
which America has played in her one
year of war; how she was forced into
the struggle against her wish, and
only took up arms after all her sacred
rights had been contravened by the
unprincipled Hun. He told how the
American flag was ordered off the high
seas by Berlin, and how the only Amer
ican ships that were allowed to sail
would have had to be painted like a
barber pole in order to escape the tor
pedoes of the submarines.
In defense of freedom and the
world’s liberty, America has in one
short year marshalled her resources to
a wonderful extent, and now at this
great crisis, when the supreme strug
gles are being waged in Picardy and
our allies are crying for more men
and supplies, it is our problem to
mobilize America’s might for the bat
tlefield as quickly and effectively as
possible. The only way this can be
done is through the Liberty Loan:
through the subscriptions which must
come from the rank and file of the
people of America.
Acquitted.
When a young man eloped with a
Springfield girl riot yet of age, the fa
ther of the young woman caused his
arrest on a charge of disturbing the
peace. When in court it was shown
that father was asleep when the elope
ment occurred and that he did not
waken for some time afterward, the
young man was acquitted.—Kansas
City Times.
Appealed to Women.
Mr. McAuoo spoke of the fine work
that is being done by the women of
the nation, and urged them on to
greater efforts. He stressed the abso
lute necessity for saving, both food
and materials of clothing, that our
armies may be fed and our allies sup
plied. He insisted that the people of
this country must learn to sacrifice in
order that the war may be won.
“We must realize that we are really
in this war, and that war does mean
sacrifice,’’ the secretary emphasized.
“We must learn in the second year
of the war that we must not indulge
ourselves to tl^e extent that we have
in the past. We must purify our souls
and fortify our souls for this great
and mighty contest which is now pro
ceeding upon the battlefields of Pi
cardy. And the extent to which we do
that is the extent to which we are go
ing to help ourselves.
“I have been told by some people
that the rate of interest on Liberty
Bonds is too low, and, therefore, we
could not rely upon the patriotism of
the American people to buy these
bonds. I have been urged to make
the rate of interest higher than it is
today, in order that the bends might
sell more readily. I do not believe,
my friends, that it is necessary to
raise the rate of interest on the bonds
in order to sell them. 1 do not believe
that the patriotism of America is ex
pressed in the rate of interest on a
Government Bond. I do not believe
that the American dollar is a fugitive
and must be chased by high rates of
interest when the government’s credit
is back of them.
“I want to tell you, fellow-citizens,
because this is your problem, as well
as mine, that if we do not all take
an intelligent stand now in favor of
keeping the rale of interest on gov
ernment bonds stabilized at 4!4 p«r
annum, unless we are willing to make
q fight to preserve the Government’s
credit upon that basis, then it is go
ing to be the most ^unfortunate ihing
that can possibly happen to the Amer-
ican people. We have got to make it j
clear to every man, to every woman,
and to every child who buys a govern
ment bond, that while it may be true
that they could invest their money in
something else that would pay a larger
return, they can invest their money
in nothing else that is so full of blood
and necessity as a United States Gov
ernment Bond. If we do the wrong
thing at this time, it comes back to
you.”
The response to Secretary McAdao’s
appeal in this territory has been im
mediate. Wherever he appeared, the
sales have been boosted to a wonder
ful extent. It is now the duty of ev
ery man, woman and child in the
Sixth district who reads his words to K Pi) . v
make his or her subscription w-ithout | “ y
delay through the local Liberty Loan
committee.
