Wellston, O. “ I took Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to
make me strong. I
was troubled with
my back and sides
hurting me till I
could not do my
work, and when
ever I caught cold
it made me irregu
lar. Since I have
taken the Vegeta

side and backdon’t
bother me and I
can do my house-
work and care for my children now,
where before I did not feel like doing
anything or going around. After my
first child was bom about four years
ago I saw an advertisement in the
paper about the Vegetable Compound.
1 knew it would help me, but I was
afraid to try it because people said it
would help you to have children and
I knew I was having children fast
enough. But I thought if it would
help me it would be better to have a
whole house full of children and have
good health. I became stronger from
taking it and my husband says I look
like a live woman instead of a dead
one. When Spring comes lam going

Letters Fromy
the People
Lovelace Eve, Editor,
Times-Recorder, i
I Dear Sir: I wish to give you
,a short letter in regard to Americus.
. The latter part or September, my
son and I left Americus to go to St.
Fla., to attend the Na
rtional encampment of the Spanish-
American war veterans,. We went
1 to Cordele and motored down the
, National highway through Valdosta
■to Florida. All along this highway
jour eyes were greeted with signs
I from a lot of towns and cities in
i Georgia and Florida. The further
. down we got the more frequent the
i signs. All kinds and colors, we saw
i Athens, Ga., Macon Ga., Millen, Ga.
j Augusta, Ga., Albany, Ga.„ but not
-a single Americus, Ga. The only
- Americus sign we saw at any time
• jin in our travels of over two thous
s and miles was one large yellow
3'painted sign with large black let-
iters “Smoke Americus Cigars,” but
can we not let the tourist know in
‘{some way that Georgia has a city
t'called Americus? At St. Petersburg
we were the only Georgia men
AMERICUS TiMES-RECORDER
among aoout 800 veterans and their
families from almost every stale m
{the Union. We stayed there five
days and nights. Every one know
ing we were from Georgia, because
our badges bore the single word,
Georgia. At night around the camp
fire men from Indiana, Illinois,
North Carolina, Tennesse and even
far, far off Michigan, Maine, Cali
fornia and Ohio would gather
around our camp fire and ask ques
tions about Georgia, what part are
I you from? What can land be bought
for there? What do you raise be
sides cotton? Does it ever snow
there? What kind of soil have you?
i In fact I had to answer so many
.question from people that seemed
eager to learn something about this
glorious county of ours that at
i times it almost stumped me for
.words to tell them PT our city. Bear
'in mind, I only told them the truth
about what we have, but at times
the truth sounded, no doubt like a
.fairy tale.
I would say to a man front Ohio,
perhaps, why you must have pass
ed through Americus when you
came down. Oh, no, he would say
1 was told when 1 came through
-■lacon that I could not get through
on the Dixie highway. 1 had to
come down by Perry and Cordele.
They all know Perry and Cordele, 1
but they never had heard of Amer
icus and Sumter County at Macon.
Can We not do something to let
these people know that we want
them to come through America,s
and Sumter county? We can show
them the garden spot of the South
we can show them what beautiful
peach orchards, our bunCreos and
hundreds of acres of pecans, and
furthermore, we can show them the
finest soil for any crop that grows,
out we are asleep to our opportun
ities. It is about time for us to
awake from our slumber and let
{the world know; that Americus is on
.the Dixie highway, that Americus
lis in Georgia. Also that Americus
and Sumter county is the door of
■opportunity and say to the world:
.We Want You, come and see what
we have; and I am sure that some
{who are seeking homes will stop,
locate and make us good citizens,
but we must wake up and let them
know what we have to offer. The
time is here when we must and will
| let the world know that Americus
is open to them. Come and see.
i Will we sleep on? Or will we w’ake
up and go forward?

land’s economic loss by hauling
(down the wages ot the workers.
. | these wages now are appallingly
I low, by American standards.
• In the case of the seamen, the
{employers cut a pound (aboutss)a
.{month, from the men’s wages. The
.aggregate saving was nothing, from
an American point of view. The real
loss to the country was immense.

' How the English industrial leader
works is illustrated by one casual, t
trifling instance an instance, 1
though, that through -myraid du- |
plication has brought England close
to actual hunger.
A Montreal resident now visit in I
in Tngland, was attracted by a par- 1
ticularly fine brand of shoes the !
English are splendid leather work
ers. He approached the maker’s
■ agent. He said he would like to buy
. that sort of shoes at home. He was 1
informed that he would have to ord-
• er them from VANCOUVER! That
was where this maker’s Canadian
store was located! The fact that
Vancouver is close to 3000 miles
from Canada’s highly populated sec
tion never occured to this excellent
British shoe man.
A great manufacturer of fine
■ prints has his only distributing of
, fice for Canada in Winnipeg. Neith
, er apparently, offers his wares in
the United States at all.
Wool scarfs of surpassing fine
ness are offered in London and Gias
gow and Edinburg shops with few
buyers, because the English now are
poor. Knitted suits for women and
materials of the sort, are excellent
ly made though the domestic mar-
ket is scant. Most of these goods
are not offered in America at all, '
or are offered so poorly that ex- I
perienced American shoppers have'
never seen them.

have penetrated the United States
from end to end with fine gloves;

might have worked a century ago,

and supporting more than a million
families on public charity, while
she is letting a huge Canadian and ,
American market rest untouched
Hungry and idle men are never
patient. To stave off disaster, the
government of England is using the
public money to pay, indirectly,
part of the wages of the coal min

next May, that is expected to be the
beginning of a storm that will leave

TAMS THE PEACE
OF “DRASTIC” CALOMEL
FOR COLDS & FLU
“Pepsin-ated” calomel acts better—clears
up colds quicker—and kills flu germs
Nasty clinging colds and danger

Clear up these troubles imme
diately, but never do it with old
style “raw” calomel. It is too dras

There is a newer and more im
proved kind that is especially made
for colds, grippe and flu. It does
not tear through your system like
a streak of lightning. It acts mild
and gently for it is combined with
pepsin, which makes it work slow
and more effectively.
This new pepsin and calomel com
bination is known as “Pepsin-ated”
Calomel. It has all the beneficial

ing effects of the old style “raw”
