with FLU
in the air..
don’t take chances
awith COLDS! . ..
W ITH flu in the community, everyone is
warned against the dangers of colds
just now. Colds pull down body resis
tance, and often pave the way for an attack
of flu and its serious complications. In the
present emergency, the wise course to fol
low is that outlined in Vicks Plan for bet
ter Control of Colds: ;
Tc Prevent Many Colds: At that first
feeling of stuffiness or nasal irrita
tion, sniffle or sneeze—-Nature’s usual
warning that a cold_is coming on—
use Vieks Nose and Throat Drops, the
new aid in preverting colds. Vicks
Drops aid Nature in throwing off the
infection that threatens. They pre
vent development of many colds.
To Erd a Celd Sooner: If a cold has
developed, or strikes without warn
ing, vigorous measures are necessary.
At bedtime, apply Vicks Vapoßub.
Its direct, double action—continuing
through the night-=brings quicker
relief. During the day, use the cen
venient Vicks Nose Drops every few
hours as needed. They add to com
fore—help shorten the cold. :

Personal Credit
Loans Now on
Banking Basis
Financing the wage earner on
personal credit is considered by
many of the leading financial heads
of the nation to be just as important

that of the bank in financing bust
ness and industry,
It 1s true that many abuses were
formerly practiced in this line of
%endervor but since the adoption In
‘many states, of which Georgia is

cent years sach evils have disap
peared, This law is the result or
tremendous research and study
made by the Russell Sage Founda
tion, an endowed philanthropy ot
New York city, and has become to
be regarded as the model for the
!protection of small borrowers.
Thus the wage earner can apply
to such an institution in Athens as
the Family Finance Company with
confidence that their interests are
protected by a strong financial or
ganization, composed of leading
businessmen who do business whoi..

While it is a fact that the Family
Finance Company has, made many.

past year, yet there are many cases
