Why Tries Qglomslf Dr. Thacher’s Liver & Blood Syrup wili do all that calomel will do and without the “after effects.” Year? ago, wh a n people were bilious, wuen tiie liver got lazy and failed to do it* work or the stomach was out of condition, calomel was the standby. By and by the users of calomel found that the “alter effects” of taking the drug w ere as bad and more often worse than the ailment for which it was taken. I)r. Thacher, in seeking a medicine to take the place cf calomel—one that would do ail the good that calomel would do, and yet leave none of its evil effects perfected Dr. Thacher’s Liver & Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, and each year since has added to the confi dence of those who have used it. Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga, Tenn., tried calomel. She was suffer ing with a very serious cold and grippe and had no appetite whatever. After the calomel failed she tried Dr. Thach er’s Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt better after taking three doses and she soon got entirely well. ‘I think Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup is a wonderful medicine,” she said, “and I am very thankful I tried it.” for nearly three quarters of a century this sterling preparation has been an “old stand-by” in thousands of homes in treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in digestion and other stomach and liver complaints. It is a powerful tonic and blood purifier and can be used with the utmost confidence.

EASING IKE GASES OF SGLGIEIiS' FAMILIES The ten thousand Home Service Sec tions of the American Red Cross, in their work of looking after the fami lies of the enlisted men, are doing won ders for the morale of the army. Our fighters are not men who are going to worry about themselves, but if they do not get cheerful letters from home, or if anything goes wrong there, they are going to worry, and that delicate thing the army men call morale is going to be disturbed. It is to safeguard against this and also to prevent need less suffering and to promote that spir it of neighborliness and kindly aid that binds each community into an organic whole that the Home Service was or ganized. Over 50,000 workers are serving on these ten thousand committees, which reach into every corner of the country, however remote. Not a town or vil lage or crossroads that is not within reach of the Red Cross; not a wife or child or mother of a man in service who cannot claim the ready aid of the Red Cross workers. More than 300,000 families of Ameri can soldiers and sailors have been re lieved of money troubles, legal difficult ties and worries of all sorts by the protecting arm of the Red Cross. If the allowances of allotments under the War Risk Insurance law do not come the matter is at once referred to Red Cross Headquarters, taken up with the proper government bureau and prompt ly straightened out. If, through the delay, the family finds itself in need of money sums are advanced to tide it over until the allotment arrives. Dur ing July over sixty thousand inquiries of this kind were received, and more than a third of these were taken clear through to headquarters before they could be straightened out. FOR ITALY'S BABIES. Motherhood in Italy just now is not the joy that it might be, for the poor women are at tlieir wits to clothe the children already in the family, not to mention the preparation for the lit tle newcomers. Perhaps the most ap preciated gifts of the American Red Cross at this time are the layettes which are being given to the mothers of Italy. Each layette consists of twenty-four pieces and includes four bright colored swathing bands, so dear to the heart of the Italian woman. Twenty layettes a week are needed at Cbioggia alone.

CURE FOB BLUES NEAR THE CAMPS Community Service Takes Place of Mother, Friends and Home for Soldiers. Ten young officers of the Student Army Training Corps of the Universi ty of Detroit recently applied for a furnished house and a housekeeper who would not be a servant, but, as one young officer expressed it, “the sort of woman to whom the boys can call out ‘Hello, mother!’ when they come in the front door.” Homesickness is the malady for which War Camp Community Service supplies innumerable cures. “We’ve got your number,” says the W. C. C. S. to the homesick hoy from camp with leisure to spend in any one of the three hundred towns scattered over the country. While he’s wonder ing what on earth he’ll do with him self when he gets there, not knowing a soul in town and with a limited per centage of his “thirty per” in his pock et, along comes a friendly printed card from the local branch of his own lodge announcing a reception that night es pecially for soldier members. By the same mail the Methodist church sends an announcement of all its meetings, addressed to him, with This Means You printed at the bottom. How did they know’ he was a Methodist? He had forgotten about the little “Personal Card” he made out at the adjutant’s request during his first day in camp when it w T as only one of the endless details in the round of dentists and doctors and general confusion. The W. C. C. S. had not only his num ber, but his name and address, his home town, the name of the school he’d gone to and a good bit about the things he was fondest of doing—each fact written into a little blank on th« card especially for it. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY. McDONOUGH. GEORGIA AMERICAN S FIGHT GEIiSJ ITALY Tuberculosis Experts Sent by Red Cross Will Use Lat est Methods. Included in the unit of medical and lay workers which the American Red Cross has sent to Italy are a number of the leading anti-tuberculosis work ers of the country, sponsored by the National Tuberculosis Association. Dr. William Charles White, who heads the unit, is medical director of the Tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Robert H. Bishop, the assist ant director, is secretary of the Anti- Tuberculosis League of Cleveland as well as health commissioner of that city. Dr. John 11. Bowman of Cleve land, a former president of the Na tional Association, is another promi nent member of the unit. Others are Dr. Robert G. Patterson, secretary of the Ohio Tuberculosis Association; Seymour H. Stone, until recently sec retary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu berculosis League; Dr. Gertrude Stur gis, secretary of the New York City Association of Tuberculosis Clinics, and N. A. Nelson, superintendent of the Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League. These men and women, at the re quest of the Italian government, will co-operate with that country in apply ing the latest approved American methods for combating the spread of tuberculosis. Some of them will l>e charged with the establishment of clinics where people of all ages may be examined and treated; others will devote their attention particularly to preventing tuberculosis among chil dren, and a third group will develop health publicity and education. It is to the credit of the anti-tuber culosis campaign in America that it has produced specialists of such inter national standing that Italy wishes to call them into her service temporarily. But the campaign will he continued unremittingly here at home. Its sup port during the ensuing year will be derived not as heretofore from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but by a special appropriation made by the Red Cross to the National Tuberculo sis Association. Tuberculosis workers on their side will line up with the Red Cross in its Christmas Roll Call for universal membership. CONTEST FOR THE JUNIORS.
