Ounce of Prevention Better Than Pound
of Core.
With influenza again making inroads
into the health of the country, the old
adage, “au ounce of prevention is better
than a ]>ouud of cure” never meant more
than it does now.
A 3-ounce bottle of Dr. Williams 101

where cases of Colds LaGrippe, Fevo
and Malaria, as well as “Flu” are to be
treated or warded off.
During the Iuflueuza epidemic which
covered the eouutry in October, 1918, the
sales of 101 Tonic increased more than
500 per cent. Tills proven that 101
Tonic is an effective treatment for this
disease.

Local Goal line Threatened Twice, But
Douglas Didn't Have the Punch to
Put Ball Across for Score.
In their second game of the seasou the
Tifton Aggies romped on the Douglas
Aggies in Douglus Monday afternoou to
the time of 23 to 0. The game was fast
from start to finish aud although the
score does not read that way it was close
aud hard fought. Twice during the game
the Douglas aggregation bad the ball
withiu ten yards of Tiftou’s goal, once in
the first quarter aud again in the third,
but the Tifton team held them for downs
the first tiuir and Hodges Harrell saved
lliem the set-oiid time by recovering a
fumble by the Douglas full-back.
Tiftou started the fun by kicking to
Douglus and the ball was put in play oi
their 30 yard Hue. Tifton held them foi
downs aud after a couple of line buck:
Ivey got away with an end run of 30
yards for the first touchdown, Flctche:
smied the other two touchdowus fo
Tiftou, the first by blocking a punt on th
IS yard line and currying it across the
goal, and the other by line bucks. Max
well showed his skill by drop-kicking c
field goal from the 35 yard line and only
six yards from the side line. Harrell w
right there with the goal kicking, getting
two out of three chances.
it would be hard to pick the stars for
Tifton as the whole bunch was right there
with the goods and showed themselves
great form. They put up a better game
than the oue here with Norman Park,
and snowed that they have been putting
in some hard practice with good coaching.
They may uot win the South Georgia
Prep t'.hampiouship, but when the hon
ors are passed around they will be right
there to see it well done.

Hotly (’onesled Game Played it Norman
Park Saturday Afternoon. N. L
Took Lead Buf Lost It.
The A. M.B . “Scrub*'' continued their
wiuuiiG «treak Saturday afternoon when
they invaded Norman Institute terri
tory and won from the N. I. Scrubs by
score of 12 to 0. The game was well
played throughout. Both sides played
hard aud the ball was kept in continuous
play from start to fiuUk.
lu the first quarter Norman made one
touchdowu, but after that period the
game weut iu favor of the local scrubs.
During this quarter M. Duffy got away on
a fake play aud made a gain of thirty-
five fords.
The A. M. S scrubs came back ia the
second quarter and after some stiff play
ing J. Duffy carried the ball across Nor-
umu's goal for a touchdown,. The at
tempt to kick goal failed, tieing the score.
Jtadncy was put in for Young who was
knocked out.
Neither side showed much ability to
gain in the third quarter, the ball being
kept near the middle of the field through
out.
Realizing that they had to play hard
wiu, the Aggies agaiu sent J. Duffy
ross in the fourth for another touch
dowu. Goal was not kicked. Before
uuother touchdown could be mude the
game ended.
J Duffy starred in being able to carry
the bull for gains when gains were
most needed for the Aggies and ltadney
shone in tackling by breaking through
the liue and dowuiug the man with the
ball for losses.
The Norman line up could not be ob
tained, but the following is the A. M. S.'s:
J. Duffy, fb; R. Mathis, lhb; Young and
Kadney, rhb; Braunan. qb; Hall, le;
