MONTH OF JULY RICH IN GEOR.
GIA HISTORY
Week of July 16
Education in Georgia dates back to
July 16, 1735, when the Moravians
founded a school on the Island of
Irene above Savannah for the in
struction o fthe Indians.
During the week, in 1737, John
Wesley took a house to house census
of Savannah which showed the num
ber of inhabitants to be 518.
It was during this week, in 1742,
that General Oglethorpe with only
632 men defeated 5,000 Spaniards
at the Battle of Bloody Marsh, end
ing Spanish aggressions on the eas
tern coast of the United States.
Creek Indians, led by Thomas Bos
omworth, marched upon Savannah,
July 20, 1748, striking terror to its
inhabitants. Through the superior dis
cernment of President Stephens and
Noble Jones in command of the mili
tia, trouble was averted and the
claims of Mary Musgrove, wife of
Bosomworth, were adjusted and she
was given the right to St. Catherine’s
Island.

Tells How She Lost
15 Lbs. of Fat *
RHEUMATISM GONE TOO
Here is a woman who was rapidly
putting on weight and who was trou
bled with rheumatism too. Read her
letter:
“I started taking Kruschen Salts
because of the good it had done for
a friend of mine who had been crip
pled with rheumatism. At the end of
the second bottle I was weighed and
find I am now only 148 pounds
(original weight 163 lbs.), at which
I am so' pleased. But I have also felt
my rheumatism much less, which has
been so troublesome in my knees. I
must say I think Kruschen a splendid
weight reducer.” (Miss) E. L. P.
Overweight and rheumatic poison
ing often go together. The six salts
in Kruschen assist the internal or
gans to perform their functions prop
erly—little by little that ugly fat
goes; slowly, yes—but surely. You
feel wonderfully healthy, youthful
and energetic—more so than ever
before in your life.
Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all
drug stores —a jar lasts four weeks
and costs not more than 85c.
