TAKE STOCK OE
YOUR HEALTH NOW
WINTER BRINGS ILLS TO
PEOPLE
TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN
Fortify Your System —Good
Blood Will Give You New
Strength to Keep Well
If you feel the least bit run
down, not necessarily sick, but
tired and blue and sort of down
and out, it shows plainly that your
power of resistance is low.
It is dangerous to go around
that way. You don’t have to do
it.
Make no mistake about it, when
you feel yourself slipping into
lazy habits, getting indifferent to
the things you naturally like—no
energy, no vigor, always tired—it
is time to look out. It may not
i- mean that you are sick or that
i+ 'you will be. But there aredis
eases that would have an easy
time of it with your system when
your blood has no fighting quali
ties.
You want to be well and keep
well and feel strong. If you
build up the quality of your blood
by taking Pepto-Mangan you will
be in trim to fight off winter ills.
It has just the right ingredients to
build your blood up with rich, red
corpuscles.
Pepto-Mangan gives your blood
the qualities it needs to pick you
\ip and start you off on a healthy
basis. You will notice the differ
ence soon after you start taking it.
You will have better color, better
feeling and more energy.
You can take it in liquid or tab
let form as you prefer. Both
have the same ingredients. But
be sure you get the genuine
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan. Ask for
j'lby that name—“Gude’s Pepto
flngan,” and be sure the full
name is on the package.

TWO COLQUITT COUNTY
FARMERS ARE DROWNED;
THEIR BODIES RECOVERED
. ■ i
Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 29 The bod
ies of Ben Lanier and Horace
Croft, prominent farmers of Col-
quitt county, were recovered from
Brice’s pond, four miles from Ber
lin, about 10 o’clock today. They
■were drowned while fishing when
their boat capsized late Friday af
ternoon.
Their families were cneasy about
them when they failed to return
last night and a search was insti
tuted early today. Their hats
were found floating on the water
and a deposit slip from a bank,
showing a deposit by one of them
earlier in* the day was also found.
This was the clue which caused
the entire country to turn out and
try to help recover the bodies,
which were located just before
, noon.
They were far out on the pond
when the boat turned over and
were unable to reach the shore,
though they both were good swim
mers. It is thought that they be
came chilled by the almost freez
ing water and were weighted
down by their heavy clothing be
sides.

Motherhood Safer
In 17 Countries
Other Than U. S.
So Reports House Committee On
The Sheppard-Tcwner Bill.
Washington, January 28. —
Motherhood is safer in any of sev
enteen foreign countries than in
the United States, and babies in
ten other countries have a better
chance ofliving through thrir first
year, according to the house com
merce committee’s report today on
the Sheppard-Towner bill to ap
propriate $1,480,000 for safe
guarding the health of mothers
and babies.
The report classed the bill as
emergency legislation and said
there was practically no opposi
tion to it. The committee found, it
said, that maternal and infant
in the United States
!was not decreasing, statistics be
fore it showing a 15 per cent in
crease in deaths from childbirth
between 1919 and 1920.
Infants under one year of age
are dying from preventable ail
ments at the rate of 250,000 a year
the report said.
“In rural sections studied, it
was ascertained,” the report ad
ded, “that 80 per cent of mothers
received no advice or trained
nurse preceding the birth of chil
dren. ’ ’
ADJUST THE SUPPLY TO THE
DEMAND
Many daily papers are some
what excited over the movement
among the farmers of the country
to curtail production, on account
of the big drop in the prices of
farm prodccts. One editor con
siders it a crime to curtail produc
tion or for an individual or organi.
zation to seek to influence the far
mer to curtail the production of
any crop. This editor seems to
think that it is the duty of the far
mer to produce maximum crops,
regardless of the cost of produc
tion or the market price.
Intelligent, conservative farmers
are not going to strike, after the
manner of city workers, but they
do not consider it wise to grow
more food and feed than the world
is willing to buy at a profitable
price. In other words, they con
sider it wise to follow the example
set by factories and to regulate
the supply to the demand.
It may be “rotten economics”
f£>r farmers to consider the law of
supply and demand and to at
tempt to regulate the supply to
the demand, but it is not consider
ed “rotten economics” for manu
facturers to close down their
plants or to curtail production,
when there is no market for their
products at a profitable price.
The saw mills of the country, auto,
mobile factories, woolen mills, clo
thing factories, and prctieally all
other kinds of factories have ei
ther closed down or curtailed pro
duction because there is little de
mand for their products at profit
able prices.
By
The business man who does not
consider the law of supply and de
mand soon fails; and the farmer
who heeds the cry of town nd city
people to produce more without
stopping to consider the market
demands is liable to come tq grief.
The intelligent farmer is not in fa
vor of limiting production in or
der to force the price of farm
products far above the cost of pro
duction; but lie does want and is
entitled to the cost of production
plfts a reasonable profit,
reasonable profit. —Progressive
