Jackson People Should
Eat Pie Daily
Pie is wholesome, combining both
fruit and grain. Those who have trou

SPOONFUL simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka.
This flushes the ENTIRE bowel tract,
removes foul matter which poisoned
your stomach for months and relieves
ANY CASE sour stomach, gas or con
stipation and prevents appendicitis.

From every standpoint of service and cost-
Certain-teed has proved its claim — “The best type of roof for
most buildings, and the best quality roofing of its type'*.
Certain-teed has made good all over the world under all conditions —as proved
by its enormous sale. It has become the standard roof for buildings of all types
and sizes- #

MR. J.M. CURRIE HEADS
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Mr. J. M. Currie, of Jackson, was
elected chairman of the Butts County
Democratic Executive Cmmittee at
a meeting held during the noon recess
of superior count Wednesday. Mr.
Currie’s election was unanimous,
showing the esteem of the members.
Mr. H. L. Daughtry was elected but
refused to serve. These were the only
two names placed in nomination.
J. D. Jones was elected secretary
for the ensuing two years.
The matter of fixing the rules and
assessing candidates will be determin
ed later. It is likely that all county
officers will run in the state primary,
which will probably be held some time
in August.
The next meeting of the committee
will be subject to the call of the
chairman.

BIRLS! ITS YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS
Says Women Pay Too Much
Heed to Their Face Instead
of Their Corns
Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp a little.
That’s bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and giaee, be
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for a quarter
of an ounce of freezone. This will
cost little but ia sufficient to remove
every hard or soft com or callua
from one’s feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, touchy com relieves the
soreness and soon the entire com,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is a gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and sim
ply shrivels up the com without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
comless feet create a youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness,

The only way to reach the great
mass of people is through the country
press. Yet the government refuses to
spend a cent with the wekly newspa

IN “PRUNE STREET PRISON”
Some Well-Known Men Were Confined
In Philadelphia Jail When Impris
onment for Debt Prevailed.
The terms “Prune street prison” may
be more readily understood by a read
er if he shall simply bear In mind
that Prune street was once the name
of what Is now Locust street from
Fourth to Sixth, the change having
been made about, probably, forty years
ago, says the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin.
As to the prison, It existed on the
north side of Prune street and ended
below Sixth and was In the nature of
an extension of the Walnut street pris
on at the southeast corner of Sixth and
Walnut streets. At a time when im
prisonment for debt Was a punishment
under the law of Pennsylvania, the
Prune street prison was used chiefly
for that purpose. In the latter part
of the eighteenth century and the ear
ly part of the nineteenth, it sometimes
contained many well known as well ns
humble men who were unable to meet
the demands of their creditors. Rob
ert Morris was one of the prisoners
for several years. During the prolong
ed period of his dispensation In trying
to stave off the swarms of importunate
men to whom he owed money, he would
sometimes speak or write of “Prune
street” as If the Jail loomed up before
him like a thing of dread. While Mor
ris was there, William B. Wood, the
eminent actor, whose long life was af
terward aasociated with the first and
the second Chestnut street theater,
was one of his companions In misery.

Thank God, the people of this
country are thoroughly aroused over
the perils of indiscriminate immigra

kept out of America. It is the for

burning buidings, bombing plants,
wrecking bridges, causing strikes,
spreading socialism and anarchy. Yet
a Georgia governor once went to Ger
