TALKED LIKE A DUTCH UNCLE
“My father’ is a physician and,
naturally, I was opposed to all pat
ent medicine. So when a friend
told m e to try Mayr’s Wonderful
Remedy for my stomach trouble,
1 laughed at him. Some months
later, after my father told me he
had used all known remedies in
luy case, I met my friend again
and he talked to me like a Dutch
uncle and finally induced me to
try it. All my symptoms have now
disappeared.” It is a simple, harm
less preparation that removes the
catarrhal mucus from the intesti
nal tract and allays the inflamma
tion which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money re

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger
ous For Americus People To
Neglect
The great danger of kidney trou
bles is that they so often get a firm
hold before the sufferer recognizes
them. Health will be gradually un
dermined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
gravel and Bright’s disease may fol
low as the kidneys get worse. Don’t
neglect your kidneys. Help the kid
neys with Doan’s Kidney Pills,
which are so strongly recommended
right here in Americus.
Ask vour neighbor!
Mrs. R. H. Miller, 702 Adding
ton St., Americus, says - "My back
ached night and day and I couldn’t
get any rest. Mornings I felt more
tired than when I went to bed. My
kidneys acted too often and caused
annoyance. 1 purchased Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they quickly bene
fi’ed me. Two boxes cured me of
the attack.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
himply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same

UNLOADSJANY CARS
Seventy-Two Carloads Os Fords,
Largest Shipment Ever Made
Any Americus Firm
The Americus Automobile Com
■ pany on Tuesday completed un-
I loading the largest shipment of au
tomobiles ever consigned to any
Americus firm. There' were 12 cai
loads of Fords, with six to each car,
making a total of 72 automobiles
unloaded at one time.
This shows the faith that this
firm has in Sumter county and al
though times may not be as pros
perous as some think they should
be at this season of the year, they
feel that the next 60 days will be
exceptionally good, and taking the
advice of the experts employed by
the Ford Motor Company have
stocked these cars while it is pos
sible to receive them as all indi
cations point to the fact that even
though the Ford plant is turning
out over 10,000 cars a day the sup
ply will not meet the demand in
the course of the next 60 days.
“Another interesting fact,’’ says
Evan Mathis, manager of auto sales
for the company “is the large
number of enclosed cars that are
being sold in this make of car.
There were 21 Coupes and Sedans
in this shipment ,or a little better
than 29 per cent of the total ship
ment. The Ford plant is turning
out approximately 38 per cent of
their cars in the enclosed models,
wich are gaining in popularity
steadily.’’

WESLEY BARRY HAS / '
NEW’ROLE IN “GEORGE /
WASHINGTON, JUNIOR.*'
A new Wesley Barry feature is
scheduled al the Rylander on Thurs
day. It is called “George Wash
ington, Jr.,” and is adapted from
the famous George M. Cohan stage
comedy, which made such a trem
endous hit in New York City. This
is a distinctly new characterization
for Wesley Barry; he graduates, as
it were, from “kid” roles into the
young society man.
“George Washington, Jr., is* a
rapidly moving comedy-drama of so
ciety life in the highest political
circles of our capital. Its brilliant
parties, the lavishly dressed women
the polished senators, foreign diplo
mats and noblemen give enough,
promise of a highly spiced interest
ing picture.
But in addition to all this there
is Wesley Barry, the inimitamri
young actor who never fails to win.
his way into your heart before tho
picture fades off the screen. He>
is ably supported by a cast includ
ing Otis Harlan, Gertrude Olmstead,
Edward Phillips and Charles Conk-i
lin. On the same program will be ,
shown a comedy entitled “Picking
Peaches.”
'Today’s Program at the Rylander
includes “Scars of Jealously,” a
Thomas H. Ince feature production,
and “Please Arrest Me,” a com
edy. “Scars of Jealously” is a
drama of the old and new South
and has a star cast including Lloyd
Hughes, Frank Keenan, Marguerite
De La Motte and Edward Burns.
Few people like work because
their are so many other things to do.
