FOR YOUR BLOOD!
-DO YOU NEED IT?
Lack of Iron in the Blood Means Lack of Appetite, Loss
of Energy, Pale Cheeks, and a General Debili
tated Condition of the Entire System.

Your Blood.

Iron Tonic, which, contains no alcohol, no habit-forming drugs, and is rec
ommended as a safe, reliable, tonic remedy for men, women and children.
.Mrs. Lizzie Pennington, of Adamsville, Ala.,.writes: “About two weeks
ago I was in bed with an awful bad cold, and I was awful weak. I had taken
purgative medi.cine, but wanted to try something with iron to see if I couldn't
’ get back my strength. My son thought Ziron would help me, so I commenced
it. My nerves generally run down in the Spring ar.d I need something to
build me up.. .When I got some better and was up and around, we commenced
4he Ziron and it surely helped me to gain my strength and throw off the
cold. ..I have used only about, a half bottle of Ziron but feel so much better
«na stronger that 1 may not have to take any more for awhile.”

ered From All Parts
Of The State
Atlanta.—Judge Henry B. Strange,
secretary of state, has announced the
apportionment of the automobile li
cense fund among the several coun-.
ties of Georgia. About ninety per
cent of the total receipts from the sale
of automobile licenses is divided
among the counties on the basis ol
public road mileage outside of the in
corporated towns and cities. The re
maining 10 per cent is used to defray
the expense of purchasing the tags,
clerical help, etc. The total fund ap
portioned this year is *225,226.55. The
total public road mileage outside of
incorporated towns and cities is 80,-
110. Five counties in the state re
ceive upwards of $3,000 in the appor
tionment. These five are as follows:
Carroll $3,508.70, DeKalb $3,978.21,
Floyd $3,373,76, Harralson $3,092.60,
Monroe $3,514.32. Under this system
of apportioning the automobile fund,
the big counties furnishing the great
est number of automobiles shares pro
portionally the smallest amounts in
the division, while the small counties
furnishing the smallest number- of au
tomobiles get proportionally the larg
est amounts in the division. For ex
ample Bibb county gets only $984,
Chatham gets only $635, Fulton gets
only $1,332, Muscogee gets only $643,
Richmond gets only $1,608. The ma
jority of the amounts range between
$1,600 and $2,000. The largest
amounts in the state are the five
above-mentioned of more than $3,000.
Florida Party Urges New Train Routes
Atlanta.—Several citizens of towns
on the west coast of Florida were in
Atlanta recently to call upon the re
gional director of railroads in an ef

by Gov. Sidney J. Catts and the par
ty included T. A. Chancellor. A. P.
Avery and Albert F. Levy of St. Pe
tersburg; J. G. Yeats, Port Tampa;
W. G. Brorein and Benjamin Thomp
son of Tampa; E. B. Beckett and Sir
Edward Backus of Tarpon Springs, and
E. P. Green of Bardentown. The
Florida party is urging that through
trains from the West be routed
through Atlanta directly down the
west coast, instead of to Jacksonville
and back across the peninsula. They
urge that it will save many miles and
several hours, and advocate it partly
as a war economy measure.

didn’t act. My digestion was bad, and
3t took so little to upset me. My ap
petite was gone. I was very weak...
* I decided I would give Black-
Draught a thorough trial bb I knew it

PLOT DISCLOSED TO

i RAIDS MADE ON HUNDREDS OF
FIRMS BY FEDERAL AGENTS
HUNTING PAPERS
CLAIM SCHEMEJIATION-WIDE
Alleged Manufacturer Agreed To Pay
Illegal Fees To Commission
Agents In Washington
Washington.—A nation-wide con
spiracy between manufacturers and
contractors agents in Washington to
solicit government war orders under
an agreement to pay commissions il
legally to the agents was disclosed
by the department of justice.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment, raids were made on hundreds
of manufacturers business offices
throughout the United States in search
of papers showing the. scope ol the
illegal practice, and four Boston busi
ness men were indicted in Washington
on charges of acting as contingent fee
agents.
' Even before the results of the raids
were fully reported here, officials in-
j dieated that they had evidence that
j scores, perhaps hundreds, of edntracts
have been made with manufacturers
who were under pledge to turn over
to contract commission agents in
Washington, New York and elsewhere,
a percentage of their profits.
Officials said the manufacturers
were led into the agreements by as
surances of the agents that they had
special influence with army officers
or others in charge of letting con
tracts and under threat, to use that
influence against, the manufacturers.
Evidence was said to have been se
cured that some of the agents already
have made thousands in commission
fees.
This development led to investiga
tion of the relations between certain
army officers and these agents, and
although there is no definite indica
tion (hat these officers are knowingly
involved in the conspiracies. Secre
tary Baker is making a thorough in
vestigation in co-operation with the de
partment of justice and authorized
the statement that he would go to the
bottom of suspicious oases.
TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without
Making You Sick and
Cannot Salivate.
Every druggist in town—your
druggist and everybody’s druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re
sults,” said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs only a
few cents, ana if it fails to give easy re
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti
pated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or
cause inconvenience all the next day-
like violent calomel. Take a dose
of calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and feel
f ine, full of vigor and ambition.
