NOW UNDER ARREST

were arrested by authorities here to
day, charged with smuggling rubber
ai.d platinum into Germany via neu

per concealed beneath a cargo of oil

after information of the contraband or.
board had been received. The captain
ar.d first officer of the vessel made con
i

sequel of these statements.
The police stated this afternoon mat
in their opinion today’s events will ef
fectually end the traffic.

I STORY OF THE GREAT WAR
I Startling Reveliations in Connection With
I The German Invasion of Neutral Belgium
I It has jusi come to light through publication in the New York
I imes of certain heretofore secret correspondence between Kaiser William and Piesident Wilson that
the German government as early as 1914 justified the violation of Belgian neutrality on stragetic
gropnds. I his correspondence has been kept from the press dming three years, and publication
thereof is permivted this time only in connection with the United States’ entry into the ranks of the
beligerents.
No single instance yet developed in this gigantic conflict of the nations serves more aptly to ill
ustrate the power and advantages of advertising than does this It shows concisely how she peo
ple, as long as this news was kept out of the newspapers, failed to understand Germany’s reasons for
ruthlessly over-running this small, neutral country, and its publication is expected to arouse a storm
of protest, the effect of which will be felt throughout civilization.
So it is with the merchant who fails to advertise. No matter what you have to offer; no matter
how great bargains he may be in possession to give, unless he advertises these facts, the public is in
ignorance thereof, and his store remains empty of customers. The way to advertise is to use news
paper space. Write your advertisements carefully; tell the people what you have to sell, and the
price you offer your goods at. Change your advertisements often; it doesn’t pay to run the saire
old announcement day-in-and-dap-out; people get tired of reading the same advertisements over and
over again.
Let our Advenisir g Department help you in the preparation of your “copy.” Use space liber
ally and you will find this one of the best investments you ever made. Our Mr. T. M. Merritt, Jr.,
is in charge of this department, and he will be glad to talk with you and explain the fine points of
the advertising game.

Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of
this place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
jured himself with a piece of heavy ma- ,
chinery, across the abdomen. He was ,
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his i
bowels failed to act. He would turn up I
. a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink :
, it two or three days in succession. .He \
did this yet without result. We became \
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- I
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black- ■
Draught. I made him take a big dose, •
and when it began to act he fainted, he \
was in such misery, but he got relief and ;
began to mend at once. He got well, \
and we both feel he owes his life to I
Thedford’s Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you '
tj keep fit, ready for the day’s work.
