LEGION
To the Women of Georgia:
In 1918 you offered your services
to the men serving their country in
France and in the cantonments of
this country for the successful car
rying on of the war, and the ulti
mate victory of the American ar
mies in France was largely due to
your untiring and unselfish service.
Now as members of the American
Legion, we again look to you for
your intelligent and patriotic serv
ice. The Georgia department of the
American Legion is engaged in a se
rious fight in the defense of its life,
its purpose and principles; in de
fense of the fair name of the state
of Georgia, and in defense of Geor
gia womanhood against the attacks
of Watson and Hardwitk. In order
to successfully culminate this fight
on September 8 we feel that it is
essential that Georgia womanhood
raise its voice in protest against these
two demagogues and defamers of our
state’s name.
The Georgia woman always has
stood behind her sons in their fights,
and even as they have kept the en
emy back from our frontiers, so she,
too, has kept the “home fires burn
ing” with equal spirit and courage,
and today in this fight we ask you' as
comrades and fellow soldiers to join
us in the defeat of T. E. Watson
and T. W. Hapdwick.
Watson, while in a drunken frenzy
at Buford, insulted a Georgia wo
man. Hardwick’s conduct in condon
ing this insult has placed these two
men beyond the pale of chiavlrous
association. The American Legion,

W. W. Rigsby recently suffered a
painful accident at his home on Jef

as serious.

I ed tMhir country and .their state, de-
I nounces these two insuiters of our
i women, and calls upon all patriotic
citizens to join us in this fight, and
I you woA en particularly, who serv

September 8, and by your presence
and influence uphold the hands of

carry us through.
Believing that your response to
this appeal will be immediate and
militant, we remain.
Respectfully,
Your Brothers in Arms in the Serv
ice of God and Country.

Cause of Impure Blood
Your Druggist Has the Best
Remedy
It has been truly said that the seat
of most disease is in the blood; and
poor, thin, devitalized blood may be
caused by a weakness of the digestive
organs, an accumulation of waste
matter in the system, an inactive liv
er or lack of exercise.
Whatever the cause the best reme
dy known is Vinol, the cod liver and
iron strength-creator, blood and
body-builder.
Vinol is not a patent medicine as
all its ingredients are named on ev
ery package and it contains just the
elements needed to enrich the blood
enabling it to carry strength and vi
tality to every part of the body. Your
druggist sells it, therefore accept no
substitute. .
