Scout Meeting.
On Friday night, December -nd, tWe
•Girl Scouts held a regular meeting at
the Scout Club House.
The girl scout troup is composed!
four patrols. Each patrol has sev
eral of the teachers working with it,
«nd these patrols hold weekly meet
ings. Some real scout
accomplished in this way an* at Rob
troup meeting some splendid results
were obtained. Every girl seems to
bave a progressive scout spirit. n '■
A definite program had been arrang
ed for this meeting. Directly follow
ing the regular form of opening ex
ercises, the following program was
found both enjoyable and profitable:
First, each patrol leader gave a
discussion of the first scout law —a
girl scout’s honor is to «W trfsfd.
Some excellent ideas concerning it
were developed.
Miss Downs gave a talk on The
True Scout Spirit, and she made ev
eryone realize that you don’t get any
more out of a thinfc than you put
into it.
Miss Morgan gave a worth-tfHidej
talk on Guard Your Speech, and. Mis?
Johnson, unable to attend in
sent an’ excellent paper on Fairplay.
Two attendance badges were deliv
ered, one to Frankie Davis and the
other to Blanche McElveen. The lat
ter also received 13 merit badges.
She is to be commended upoh 1 this
record, and every scout might - well
exemplify her example. , a>
Eight refreshments, consisting of
apples and home-made candy,
served. Then Taps was sung ‘atid
everyone silently left the building
The meeting was an inspiration to
all present, and each scout felt im
pressed with the real significance of
being a scout, and she resolved then
and there t 6 become a better scout *
and practice in her daily life the
scouting principles.

lor the last few days. Friday after
-noon both boys and girls went down
sCo Reidsville and a double-header was
played. Reidsville boys are much
larger than our boys and their suc
cess, was due to this fact, for it was
bard to get the ball out of their
Teach. Our boys played well, mak
ing excellent passes and guarding
better than usual. However, they
Jost the game to a score of 12 to 20.

DIZZINESS IS ANNOYING.
AS MANY VIDALIA PEOPLE TOO
WELL KNOW.
When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordered they fall behind in filtering
the blood of poisons. As these pois
ons attack the nerves, the result is
felt in spells of vertigo, just as drunk
enness will make a man dizzy from
the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness
headache, backache and irregularity
of the kidney secretions are all signs
ipf vy«ak or disordered kidneys and
Should not be neglected. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed
remedy. Read this Vidalia resident’s
statement:
Mrs. B. F. F.ckles, 207 Mclntosh
street, says: “1 had a slight attack
of kidney trouble. My hack was sore
and lame and at times 1 would find
it hard, .to bend over because the
mi my back were so severe I
would also be troubled with dizzy
headaches and black specks appeared
, before my eyes and blurred my sight.
I read of Doan’s Kidney Pills and be
gan taking them. After ta'-ing four
boxes l was completely cured and
have never had any trouble since.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. F.ckles had. Foster-Milburn

Over 30,000 Bottles of
Tanlac Sold Each Week
In State of Georgia
AFTER SIX YEARS OF PHENOMENAL DEMAND, MANUFACTURERS
STILL TAXED TO LIMIT TO K EEP PUBLIC SUPPLIED WITH THIS
GREAT TONIC
, '
A little over six year ago in the city of Atlanta, the first bottle ot
, Tanlac was offered to Georgia people. The public skeptical at first.
I They just couldnt believe the remark able powers claimed ’ for this new
. medicine, but ina short time somany local men and women, whose integrity
, could not be questioned, told in such sincere, straightforward statements
. of the wonderwul benefit ß they had received from its use that the truth
of the claims-could no longer be doubted.
** . .’ . . 1 ...
People all over GeorgiU, from Ra
bun Gap to"Tybee Light, began tak
ing Tanlac and testifying to Its great
ness as a medicine. Before long Tan
lac had bfecome a househould word in
every village and hamlet
in the £tat e and the
were taxed to keep the druggists sup
plied wllh enough Tanlac to meet the
enormous, demand.
The popularity of Tanlac contin
ued to gjrow from year to year
tests of -its power were made by the
people until now the sales in Geor
gia alone have reached the phenome
nal tota} of 753,552 bottles, which is
at the rate o$ 126,000 bottles a year,
or over 3,000 bottles of Tanl|A sold
every to the people of Georgia-
Such a phenomenal demand for a med
icine is absolutely without a paral
lel. Nothing like it has. over been
seen before, but the reason for It is
very simple and can ,all be explained
in one word—merit.
Contrary to popular opinion, there
is no great mystery aboutl Tanlac, ex
cept in jso far as the chemistry of
the humpij body itself and what it
does witjh i substances taken into it, is
• |
a mystery;. Some of the ingredients
of Tanlac have been known, and used
as mediiines for centuries. Others
are of recent discovery, but ev
ery one bf them is of recognized the
rapeutic value and used by the medi
cal profession everywhere. Tanlac is
simply a('eo-mingiing of these medici
nal elements in away hitherto un-
H
known ahd which brings out their cu
rative and reconstructive powers to a
most, remarkable degree.

It is a demonstrated fact in medical
science that the stomach is the start

the human body, and many of the so

but reflex symptons of the stomach
