ONE HUNDRED MERCIFUL MILLIONS
ONE Hundred Millions for the Red Cross and not one
penny of it tor red tape.
The mightiest charity, the noblest and broadest
volunteer movement of history.
The Red Cross shares no enmities, serves no flag but its
own. It is God’s agent, His healing, merciful will —the
answer of twenty ever-gentler centuries to red barbarism.
Twelve million orphan children are wandering about
Europe—twelve million frightened little boys and terrorized
little girls, sent adrift to sob alone and perish in the wastes —
to live like swine and die like curs, unless magnificent
America ransoms them from death —and worse.
How many of your pitying dollars will search the deso
lations and save them for Tomorrow’s works ?
The Red Cross needs another Hundred Million, to glean
the battle areas for this precious seed before it rots in mind
and body—before grief and horror and disease and unre
straint irrevocably blight them.
One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stifle pesti
lence, to stamp out hideous fevers, to check an earth-wide
wave of tuberculosis, to destroy shuddering filths where
verminous plagues feed and breed and threaten all the uni
verse.
One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build rest
stations, to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to
forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy
medicines and operating instruments, to re-educate the muti
lated and show the blind where Hope still shines.
One Hundred Millions to maintain communication with
detention camps, to provide war prisoners with food and
decencies, to take messages out and bring fetters in, to
negotiate comforts and privileges for the captured, to buy
blankets for them and clothes and books and tobacco.
One Hundred Millions for No Man’s Land—for stretchers
and ambulances, for anesthesia and bandagds and anti
septics; to train nurses and orderlies, to outfit and transport
skilled specialists, to make sure that a dear one shall have a
clean, sweet cot and a sweet, clean girl from home beside it.
One Hundred Millions to keep the world sound and
wholesome, while the armies of Justice hold it safe.

May Ss End of Our Year
FIRST: I wish to thank our customers for the state
ment we made a year ago. It was the best of any mill in
the Atlanta District. We didn’t have out a single account
for meal and hulls or ginning and had practically every one
of our fertilizer accounts closed by note.
WE WANT TO DO IT AGAIN, but we can’t, WITHOUT
YOUR CO-OPERATION.
We have about 200 accounts for products to collect besides
closing our Fertilizer Business.

ZIRON IRON TONIC
FOR YOUR BLOOD! *
-00 YOU NEED IT?
Lack of Iron in the Blood Means Lack of Appetite, Lose
of Energy, Pale Cheeks, and a General Debili
tated Condition of the Entire System,
ZIRON Will Put Iron Into
Your Blood.
Be physically fit! Guard your health as the most prized possession you
have. When you find yourself losing your grip, becoming Irritable, nervous,
weak, anemic, take Inventory. See what Is wrong!
Your blood probably does not contain sufficient iron. The red corpuscles
may have become diminished, and consequently, your entire system suffers
from insufficient and Impoverished blood supply, and the accumulation of
poisonous waste matter.
If you find this to be the case, you will want a remedy that will supply
Iron, which will increase the number of red corpuscles. Try ZIRON, the new
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 AdamsviUe, Ala., writes: “About two weeks
ago I was In bed with an awful bad cold, and I was awful weak. I had taken
purgative medicine, 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 and I need something to
build me up.. .When I got some better and was up and around, we commenced
tlfc Ziron and It Burely helped me to gain my strength and throw off the
c01d...1 have used only about a half bottle of Ziron but feel so much better
end stronger that I may not have to take any more for awhile.”
