elections and other material struggles,
the public schools are quietly and
surely building for the future. The

I future, and the “first days at school”

cheery lot and under the skillful

it, be grown-ups and leaders of the
future.

MEN FEEL _ TIRED7TOO
While much is said about tired wo
men it must be remembered that men
also pay the penalty of overwork.
When the kidneys are weak, inactive,
or sluggish, when one feels tired out
and miserable, lacks energy and am
bition, Foley Kidney Pills are tonic
and strengthening. Wm. H. Clark,
Springfield, Ohio, writes: “I found no
relief from kidney trouble until I
discovered Foley Kidney Pills. Now
I am in A 1 shape.” They act quick
and surely. Carmichael Drug and
Book Company, adv.
PERUNA
THE BEST MEDICINE
FOR COUGHS AND COLDS
Miss Ivy Gray, Fairview,
Kentucky, writes:
"I have taken Peruna, and
would say that it is the best
medicine for coughs and colds I
ever saw. I find that it always
cures a cold in n short while. It
also strengthens and builds up
the system.”

STAMP PLEDGE WEEK
SEPTEMBER 15 TO 21
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 12.—September
16-21 is Victory Pledge Week for
the War Savings Stamps, and during
that week Georgia is expected to
purchase enough War Savings Stamps
to insure the state’s sale of its quota.
Pledges made earlier should be re
deemed ag far as possible, and those
who have slacked up for any reason
in the purchase of these stamps are
urged to make further denials in or
der to buy as many War Savings
Stamps as possible.
The campaign for the sale of War
Savings Stamps must be pushed
steadily and vigorously in order that
Georgia may make a proper showing
by the end of the year; and the prop
er time to finish up the work is now
before the fourth Liberty Loan is
launched.
County War Savings Stamps or
ganizations are going to speed up
during gthe next two weeks, but
their success depends on individual
cooperation from each and every per
son in the state, say those at the head
of the movement in Georgia.
GRANDSON OF MRS. M. O. FAULK
NER WOUNDED IN FRANCE
Letter States He Came Out of Big
Fight O. K.
Mrs. M. 0. Faulkner has received a
card from her grandson, Hugh I.
Faulkner, with the American Expedi
tionary Forces, stating he received
slight wounds in the “big fight.” He
praises the Red Cross most highly,
showing in what high esteem the men
in the field hold this wonderful or
ganization of relief and mercy.
Mr. Faulkner was slightly wounedd
and is now in the hospital. The card
•was written on Aug. 18 and sayß in
part:
“Just a word to let you know I am
0. K. Came out of the big fight with
only slight wounds. Am receiving ex
cellent treatment. Hoorah for the
Red Cross!”
WHEN EVERY MOVE HURTS
Lame every morning, achy and stiff
all day, worse when it’s damp or chil
ly? Suspect your kidneys and try the
remedy your neighbors use.
Mrs. W. T. Burk, Oak St., Jackson,
says: “My kidneys always were weak
but gave me no serious trouble until
about five years ago when I had an
attack which caused me to suffer
something awful. My back ached and
throbbed with pain and my kidneys
felt as if they were swollen. I was
sore and lame and the least move
would send pains through my body.
My sight became blurred and little
black specks floated before my eyes.
Often I -could hardly stand from diz
ziness and my kidneys didn’t act
right. I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills
and began taking them as directed
and they soon entirely cured me of
all signs of this trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Burk had. Foster-Milbum Cos.,

No Worms In a Healthy Child
All children troubled with worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly
for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im
prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle.
