ALLIES NOW CARRY
OUT PEACE PROGRAM
Question Raised in American
Quarters in Both Paris and

ments of French and British.
AMERICANS SAID TO BE
GENERALLY BEWILDERED
President Expects Allies as Well as
Germany to Adhere to the Princi
ples Laid Down in January and Sub
sequent Speeches, It is Announced.
PARIS, Dec. 10.—" Do the Euro
pean allies intend to fully carry out
the spirit of the fourteen points?”
This question was seriously raised
in the American quarters in both Lon
don and Paris today as a result of
statements made by prominent Brit
ishers and Frenchmen, indicating a
disposition to go far beyond the limi
tations of some of President Wilson’s
principles while ignoring others.
The Americans here are generally
bewildered. Some are frankly aston
ished in view of the allies’ pledge to
make peace on a basis of President
Wilsons’ January speech and subse
quent addresses.
The president, it is understiod, ex
pects the allies as well as Germany to
adhere to the principles laid down in
these speeches, except they
have been subsequently modified.

M’ADOO CALLS ON
MH. 1. H. SMITH TO
REDEEM PLEDGES
SECRETARY OF TREASURY URG
ES COUNTY CHAIRMAN TO AP
PEAL TO CITIZENS FOR RE
DEMPTION OF WAR SAVINGS.
Chairman J. H. Smith, of the war
savings committee of Spalding coun
ty, is in receipt of a telegram from
Secretary W. G. McAdoo making a
personal appeal for the redemption
of war savings stamp pledges. Mr.
McAdoo has sent similar messages to
all chairmen in the United States.
The telegram follows:
Secretary McAdoo’s Appeal.
“I most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for the purchase of war savings
stamps be fulfilled before the
close of the year. The government’s
greater nor more pressing than they
gretaer nor more pressing than they
are joday. Expenditures for Novem
ber were greater than in any previous
similar period. These expenditures
growing out of the war must be met
by borrowing from the people, and
their magnificent response hereto
fore to the government’s requirements
makes me confident that they will not
fail to continue their support, to the
end that all payments resulting from
war necessities will be promptly met.
Much remains to be done. Our brave
troops must be maintained and paid
until their work is fully accomplish
ed and they are returned to their
homes. This is not a time for us to
relax our efforts, and the treasury
department is making plans for larger
and even more important work dur
ing the coming year. Please make
every effort to bring this statement
before the people in your district and
urge upon them the continued hold
ing of their war saving certificates,
the fulfillment of their pledges, and
additional purchases as their means
permit.”
Chairman Smith is Busy.
Chairman Smith, acting on the ad
vises of Secretary McAdoo, is exert
ing every effort to make a clean slate
of the pledges in Spalding county. He
has established an office here and is
urging the people who signed a pledge
to buy during 1918 a certain specified
amount of stamps to redeem those
pledges. "I want to put Spalding ov
er the top,” said Mr. Smith. "There
are still many people who have not
fulfilled their promises to buy and I
earnestly urge them to come forward
now and make good their pledges.”

POPBIJTION BECENWf
Most of the New Population There!
Since America's Entrance Into the
War Will Be Permanent.
ATLANTA, Dec. 10.—That the
population of the city of Brunswick,
Ga., has practically trebled since
America’s entrance into the war, and
that most of this new population will
be permanent, was the statement
made here yesterday by M. E. Brews
ter, editor of the Brunswick Evening
Banner, who was in Atlanta to pur
chase new equipment for that enter
prising newspaper, which he and a
group of associates recently purchas
ed.
“Two of the big shipbuilding yards
at Brunswick have big contracts
for the American and French govern
ments,” said Mr. Brewster, "and
these will keep them busy for many
months. Although the picric acid
plant is temporarily shut down, it
represents an investment of six mil
lion dollars, and will soon be reor
ganized for future operation as a pri
vately owned plant. The Standard
Oil Company is building a great sys
tem of docks along a three mils river
front, where ocean steamers will
berth. Taken all in all, Brunswick's
present population of nearly 35,000
is practically certain to be permanent.
The city’s outlook is wonderfully
bright and promising.”
Mr. Brewster is a north Georgian
who went to Brunswick some years
ago and has made a remarkable suc
cess in newspaper work in that city.

TELLS HOW TIME
BIS BENEFITED HIM
Don J. Perry Says Wife Has Gained
Twenty-Eight Pounds and He Gain
ed Ten Since They Began Taking
Tanlac.
“My wife has gained twenty-eight
pounds and I have gained ten pounds
in the past few weeks since we began
taking Tanlac,” said Don J. Perry, a
well-known business man, residing at
370 Quince street, Salt Lake City,
Utah.
"Mrs. Perry had suffered from
stomach trouble for a long time,” he
continued. “She had no appetite and
complained of a heavy feeling in the
pit of her stomach. She was extreme
ly nervous and I don’t believe she
slept as much as two hours out of
twenty-four, in over two years. She
lost weight and strength continually
and could not attend to her household
duties. She tried everything wc could
find and nothing gave her any relief ;
| until we got Tanlac. Her stomach I
[trouble is entirely gone now. she card
| eat just anything she wants without!
any trouble and besides gaining twen- '
ty-eight pounds, she is able to <!■» all
her housework and seem:- like a dif
ferent person.
".As to nr. own <■ ,se, I had been ;r a i
nervous rundown condition for three |
years. My appetite was so pi or that i
I would hardly average one good meal '
a day and I had no energy or ambi- !
i tion. I have improved in every way'
since I started taking Tanlac. My s
appetite is so good that I can hardly
eat enough to satisfy it. I eat three
hearty meals a day and then want
more. 1 have picked up ten pounds in
i weight and feel better than I have
in a long time. We both think that
Tanlac is the greatest thing of its
kind tn the world.”
Tanlac is sold in Griffin by Brooks’
Drug Store and Carlisle and Ward
and by one established agency in ev
ery town.
