Midnight Fight Which Resulted in
Beautiful Girl Killing Tormentor*.
Miss Florence May Bailey, the
beautiful daughter of John Quincy
Bailey, of Atlanta, who is visiting
rear the state line in South Georgia,
hao v memorable experience a few
i ightg a go- In Atlanta she had never
been bothered with mosquitoes, but
at the home of her friends, these
pests attacked her in full force. As
she reamed with pain, her hostess
rushed into the room with a spray
bottle of Torment, the wonderful
preparation that kills mosquitoes
while they fly. In a few moments
the room was free of live mosquitoes
and th e floor was littered with dead
ones. Torment kills flies and mos
quitoes, but does not stain clothing
ror furniture. Harmless to human
beings. Bottle, including spray, 25c,
