Did the disease leave you with a

Is it hard for you to feel like your
old self again? Get up in the morn

If you were told by your best
friend that if you spent one dollar
you could be “made over” or it would
not cost you a cent wouldn’t you run 1

would.
Well—here’s our proposition: Take i
one bottle of PLANK’S BLOOD
MEDICINE according to directions'
and if you do not benefit by the one I
bottle sufficiently to take the other
five (which is the full course) then
you may have your dollar back with

Thousands of bottles have been

CONSTIPATION
And Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Birch*
Draught Relieved.
Maadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat
rick, of thia place, write*: "I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de
elded to try IL I found it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
Improved. I got well of the sour stom
ach, my bowels soon serined normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was in gooo
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black-
Draught for it is the finest laxative
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in its action, leaving nc
bad after-effects, it has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used

Letters From
The People
Editor Times-Recorder, Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir: In times past the United
States Regular Army as the nucleus
'of the nation’s armed forces, has
[ been our instrument of protection
| against foreign'~-aggression and do
mestic disorder. How well it has
been performed this two-fold func
tion is a matter of history.
Since the close of the World War,
the Army has enlarged the sphere
of its activity and assumed a new
role. The War Department has in-
I augurated a system of educational
and vocational training for the bene
fit of enlisted men now in the ser
vice, and for those who may hereaf
ter enlist. A man joining the Army
may now elect training in a wide
i range of educational and vocational
s subjects. If his academic education
has been neglected he may attend
school and receive instruction in the
common branches of education, or
i take work in high school subjects.
■ The purpose of this work as set
' forth in General Orders 109, War
Department, September 15, 1919, is
(a) to. train technicians and mechan
i ics to meet the Army’s needs, and to
| raise the soldiers general intelligence
' in order to increase his military ef
ficiency; (b) to fit the solder for a
I definite occupation upon his return
I to civil life.
Heretofore, a man has been in no
position to earn a living on complet
ing his enlistment than he was on
joining the Army. The new system
of training remedies this. Henceforth
every soldier will be given an op
portunity to learn a trade or voca
j tion, and will thereby be enabled, on
! returning to civil life, to put himself
■ and his family on a higher plane of
■ living than any he has hitherto
!known.
This system of training is an actual
I operation, and is meeting with great
| success. The enlisted men of the
: Army are showing a splendid inter
est in the work, and have enrolled for
instruction in large numbers.' On De
cember 31st, 1919, out of a total en
listed strength of 172,256, there were
92,287 men receiving instruction in
■ subjects besides their military work.
| . The last Congress appropriated $2,-
| 000,000.00 to carry on the new sys
-1 tern of training, and an equal or
; larger appropriation will be asked for
the next fiscal year. Expenditures
im this fund are for the purpose
> i purchasing equipment and supplies
of 'arious kinds, and of employing
civiJ||xn instructors.
Regular Army has taken its
place in time of peace as a great
educational agency, and as such is in
a position to be of incalculable bene
fit to the nation through its influence
upon successive bodies of men who
enter and leave its ranks.
The enclosed booklet contains an
exposition of the work 'that is being
done by the Educational and Voca
tional Boards at Camp Gordon. An
examination of its contents will show
what courses are offered and will give
some idea of the opportunities now
open to soldiers of the Regular Army.
Under the War Department’s new
plan of allocating troops of the Regu
lar Army to the various states for re
cruiting purposes, units of the Fifth
Division at Camp Gordon have been
allocated to the following Southern
States: South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. It
is believed that this plan will result
in the creation of a definite interest
and attachment on the part of indi
' vidual localities in particular units of
! the Regular Army.
Any assstance you may be able to
j render in this connection will be of
benefit alike to the service and to the
nation, and will be highly appreciated
by those who are charged with the
duty of carrying to a successful con
summation the new movement inaug
urated at Camp Gordon and through
out the Army. Very truly yours,

Lieut. Colonel, Infantry, U. S. A.,

Officer, Camp Gordon, Ga.

PASTOR SCORES
YOUTH’S HABITS
Rev. Guyton Fisher
Preaches 2 Powerful
Sermons
Rev. Guyton Fisher preached to
two large congregations yesterday,
announcing at the noon service that
the protracted meeting now under
way would not be continued longer
than Wednesday night of this week. ;
“We are meeting with most grati- ■
fying success in this series of serv- ’
ices and I request that all of us put
our shoulders to the wheels through
Wednesday night,” Mr. Fisher said.;
“Becaluse of the Chautauqua begin-1
ning this week, and many other '
things that will interfere, I have de-'
cided not to run the meetings beyond i
Wednesday night. Services Monday, I
Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30
p.m.”
At the morning service yesterday '
two young ladies came at the invita-'
tion to join. the church, and a num
ber signified their desires to join last j
night. It was announced that these
and many more will be formally bap
tized and received into the church one
night this week.
“Is it well with thee, with thy hus- ;
band, with thy child,’’ was taken as a I
text for a powerful sermon by Mr. I
Fisher Sunday morning. Mr. Fisher
in no uncertain terms took parents to
task who do not know that it IS well i
with their children. “Unless some- 1
thing is done, and done quickly, I
don’t know what is to become of the j
present generation that is now com-1
ing up. Young girls dancing with i
men who know nothing more about 1
these men than their names; young’'
girls riding around at nights—God
only knows where—and coming in at
unseemingly hours; young boys out
with companions until long after par
ents have retired, automobiling to
any place that fancy dictates; meet- 1
ing temptation at every turn and no
one to guide them. Parents, it is not
well with you unless it is well with
your children.’’
Mr. Fisher said that luxurious
homes, big automobiles and plenty of
spending money were not evils in
themselves, but they threw tempta
tions in the way that only the strong .
could overcome.
“Many wives say it is well with >
their husbands, when all that they i
know is that the husband is a good I
provider,” the preacher said. “You ■
should know that it is well with his j
soiul, and if it is not and you need |
help, come to your preacher. Let
him help you. Together we can ac
complish much.’’
After the sermon Mr. Fisher asked
that those present who endorsed the
things he had said, come forward and
shake his hands. For many minutes
the aisles were congested, men, wom
en and children coming forward in ■
and endless stream, assuring the j
preacher that they endorsed all of the '
sentiments he had expressed.
Mr. Fisher issued a most cordial
invitation to every one, of all de-)
nominations, to attend the remainder
of the revival services this week.

PEPTO MANGAN,
NATURE’S BEAUTIFIER
It Is The Coloring Matter of Pure
Blood That Makes a Good
Complexion.
Beauty is more than skin deep. No
one can have a clear, delicate skin,
glowing with health, if the blood is
impure or lacking in the vitally neces
sary iron that gives the coloring mat
ter to the “life fluid.” Neglect of reg
l ular and necessary waste elimination,
helps to render the blood impure and
reduce its iron contents. The best
cosmetic in the world is pure, heal
thy, iron-rich blood.
j Doctors, realizing the importance
of enriching and improving the blood,
i have for years prescribed Gude’s Pep
to-Mangan, the pleasant and proved
i blood builder and tonic.
i Pepto-Mangan contains just the
'elements needed to change thin, wa
| tery blood to good, red blood. Pepto
■ Mangan builds rich, red blood, enabl
! ing it to carry strength and vigor to
I every part of the body.
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan has become
!so well known by reason of doctors
recommending it, that you can get it
jin tablet or liquid form at any drug
' store. Instead of trying to cover up
a poor complexion, get a bottle of
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan and note how
soon you feel better, sleep better,
work harder, play with more zest—
and how your skin and complexion
i are improving.
| Only make sure to get the genuine.
| It has “Gude’s” on the package.

LOS ANGELES WOMAN
GtWEFUL 10 liLNIIG
Mrs. M. E. Proctor Says Her
Complete Recovery After So
Many Years Os Suffering Seems
Too Good To Be True—Was
Invalid For Years..
“I am so grateful for what Tanlac
has done for me that I want to tell
the wffiole world about it,” said Mrs.
M. E. Proctor, of 717 W. First St.,
Los Angeles, Calif., when speaking of
the splendid results she had obtained
from the medicine. “To think that I
should have suffered for so many
years, and spent hundreds of dollars
in vain efforts to get relief and then
find complete relief after taking only
four bottles of Tanlac, seems too
good to be true.”
“Yes, indeed; for years and years
I suffered terribly from stomach trou
ble. Everything I ate seemed to form
gas and so affected my heart and
breathing that I would have palpita
tion and would turn purple in the
face in my efforts to get my breath.
These attacks caused me intense suf
fering and were so bad that I was
frequently confined to my bed and
would have to be attended by some
member of the family for fear I
should succumb during one of the at
tacks.
“I got awfully thin and was so
w’eak that I had to give up all house
hold duties. I often went for two
weeks at a time without getting a '
good night’s sleep and as a conse-'
quence became very nervous and low
spirited. In fact, I was a confirmed
invalid and my friends difl not expect
me to live very long.
“I sat reading the paper one eve
ning when my eye caught the state
ment of a lady who had suffered with
similar trouble to my own and tell

helped by Tanlac. I sent for a bottle
