COLUMBUS, GA.
HOTEL CLERK
PRAISES DRECO
Relieved of Dizzy Spells, Biliousness, 1
Stomach Trouble, Poor Sleep—•
Now I-eels Better All The Time.
One of the best known and most
popular young men of Columbus,
Ga., is Mr. Roy Cameron, the genial
clerk at the Hotel Springer. Mr.
Cameron has given an open statement
for publication shewing the splendid
results he obtained by taking the new ’
remedy, Dreco. He says:
“I’ve been in a rather run down
condition and felt in need of a good
tonic to build me up. My liver was 1
sluggish; I had dizzy spells and was '
bilious most of the time. My food
disagreed with me. I was nervous
and could not sleep much and soon
my appetite fell off.”
“I have taken the new medicine,
Dreco, and it has benefited me very
much. My appetite has largely in
creased. I sleep sound and my liver
seems right again, for I never have
a dizzy spell nor headache. In fact,
I feel greatly improved and consider
Dreco the best general tonic and
health bu l ler T ever saw and gladly
commend it to the public.”
Dreco builds up the whole system,
renews the energy, increases the ap
petite, revises tired nerves, awakens
a sluggist liver, stimulates the kid
neys to full action, purifies the blood
and assists the stomach to carry its
load. Dreco is pleasant to take and is
good for man, woman and child.
Dreco is now sold by all progress
ive druggists throughout the coun
try and is highly recommended in
Americus by Americus Drug Co.

SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
J AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
Seven-Day Campaign for Funds to Begin January 16, When the National
Amendment Goes Into Effect—Anti-Saloon League Marshals Forces
for Great Movement to Finish the Job—World Dry by 1930, is Aim.
IN the early stages of the fight for
national nrohibition the 'S of the
south took the lead and have main
tained it in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in a death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun
try.
As a section the south was the first
to clear itself of the stain of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
in giving its moral and financial sup
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country have
•waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
ica with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January 16.
And now the south is called upon to
take the lead in the Prohibition En
forcement Campaign under the direc
tion of E. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which
comes as a logical and absolutely nec
essary result of tbe enactment of pro
hibition laws, both state and national,
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
“Finish the Job"
“Let’s enforce prohibition and fin
ish the job,” has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
of the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country. The speed and ef
fectiveness with which this work is
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent of the co
operation of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing of the prohibition laws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still a vast
amount of work to be done before
tbe liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat
ed out of business, it is making a de
termined effort to come back, and it
is the purpose of the Prohibition En
forcement Campaign to see that It
doesn’t come back.
The Liquor Propagenda
When the Eighteenth amendment
to the constitution was passed well
meaning friends of Prohibition said:
"Our nation now is legally dry ; the
cause of prohibition has triumphed ;
the fight is won and we are through
with it.”
The intensive campaign of tbe liquor
Interests to nullify Prohibition is the
answer. Their propaganda organisa
tion has been equalled only by that of
tbe German government.
:
Colds Cause Headaches and Pains
Feverish Headaches and Body Pains
caused from a cold are soon relieved by
taking LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE
Tablets. There is only one “Bromo
Quinine.” E. W. GROVE’S signature on
the box. 30c.
Even the most casual reader of the
> news of the day realizes that Prohibi
. tion has its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic is waging at the polls,
, in the courts and in the public pre«s
‘ the most desperate and determined
fight in its history.
To those who think America now
is "dry,” all that is necessary is a
glance around you. Reports are com
ing daily of the death of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous concoctions sold
‘ under the guise of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called “blind
tigers” were' never so pronounced in
*1 the history of the country as at the
i present time.
> Elihu Root Leads Wets
And this is the very condition that
( | is sought and is being encouraged by
i the liquor interests. They are being,
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev
’ ery means in their power to make Pro
hibition a by word and to make con J
ditions under Proaibition so intoiera
! ble and the violations of the law so
. flagrant and the lack of law enforce
! ment so notorious that the people will
»! become disgusted with the situation
t ! and demand a return to the licensed
. saloon.
j It is tbe plan and purpose of the
1 Prohibition Enforcement campaign, in
- ’ so far as America is concerned, to ac-
> quaint the people of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
s and keep them open to the subtle ■
t propaganda campaign which is being)
; waged by the liquor interests.
t They are spreading the report and '
> encouraging the belief that the Pro-
I ’ hi bit ion forces now will turn their at-
j tention to legislation against tobacco,
-, tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
t
In this connection Judge Nash R.
t - Broyles, chief justice of the Georgia
i Court of Appeals, says:
“The agitation as to prohibition of
tobacco is camouflage to handicap the ;
t enforcement of the liquor prohibition I
• ; laws. The persistent propaganda by
: ■ tbe National Tobacco League to the es
• 1 feet that the Anti-Saloon League is
; backing an anti-tobacco campaign is
i entirely unfounded."
The prohibition campaign asks noth
r ing more nor less than enforcement
>I of the Prohibition laws already on the
• statute books and the enactment of
f further legislation to strengthen them.
I The campaign does not propose to

interfere with individuals. It is in- j
tended largely as a campaign of edu- 1
cation. Literature to counteract the ,
propaganda of the wets, who are seek- (
ing to nullify the prohibition acts, is (
being disseminated, meetings will be
held, and dry candidates will be sup !
ported against the candidates of the
wets for every political office from 1
President downward.
In addition to enforcing Prohibition ’
in this country the aim of the Anti-;
Saloon League is World-wide Prohibi
tion by 1930. To accomplish this the
Prohibition forces not only have to
combat the liquor forces already in
trenched in Europe, Mexico, South
and Central America, China, Cuba
and other countries, but must fight the
additional influence of the American
distilllers who, driven from this coun
try, are seeking footholds in other
lands.
Campaign Begins Jan. 16

expenditure of funds, the active cam
paign for which will begin January 16.
