BACK UP YOUR BOY Increase your to your family limit “ALARMED AT MY DISTRESS, I TURNED TO POW-O-LIN AND GOT BLESSED RELIEF Well-Known Aug u st a, Ga., Church Worker Gives Pow-o lin Her Grateful, Voluntary Endorsement. “Pow-o-lin Gave Me Such Grand Relief, I Never Want To Be Without It,” States Mrs. Cato. Praising Pow-o-lin in heartfelt endorsements, well-known Geor gia men and women in ever in creasing numbers are spreading the news of welcome relief this purely herbal medicine brings until it is bringing happiness to thousands who put it to the test in their own stubborn cases. In her endorsement, Mrs. T. J.Cato, active Baptist church worker and well-known resident of 1960 Broad St., Augusta, declares: “I hated to see meal time come, for no matter what I ate it seemed to turn sour and set up gas pressure that nearly took my breath away. I felt stuffy and smothery for hours. My head ached and throbbed and I often felt so dizzy I was afraid to ven ture out. I don’t believe anyone ever had a worse case of con stipation that made me feel achy and sluggish all over. My nerves felt jumpy and I lay awake at night, alarmed, wondering what would become of me if I didn’t soon find some relief from my distress. ‘‘Pow-o-lin proved wonderful Waste Of Electricity Also Wastes Other War Assets EvEN though our country's supply of electric power is adequate for all present needs, it should not he wasted. Even though elec tricity itself is not rationed, any waste of it uses up other war re sources which are not so plentiful. While water power supplies much of our electricity, large quantities of coal or nature! gas are also used for its production in steam-operated power plants. Coal and gas are both important materials of war production and should he used economically. Every ton of coal must he mined in a distant slate, loaded on freight cars, shipped several hundred miles hy railroad and delivered to the plant. Coal used unneces sarily means critical manpower wasted and railroad facilities further overloaded. So electricity wasted really means fuel wasted, manpower wasted and transportation facilities wasted. In wartime it is wrong to waste anything, let alone war re sources so valuable as these. In our homes, let us use our electric service for any actual needs hut not watte fully. Here are some suggestions for con serving electricity: Don’t leave lights burning or fans running in unoccupied rooms; don’t leave the radio on when no one is listening to it; don’t waste hot water if it is heated electrically; don't waste heat when preparing meals on your electric range; don’t keep your re frigerator door open longer than is necessary.

CATO in my case, relieving me of the gas, bloating, unnatural fatigue and sluggish, achy feeling. Food never tasted better and seems to give me that glorious feeling of strength and energy. I don't have to take harsh laxatives and sleep like a tired, play-worn child. Pow-o-lin has my sincere praise.” Pow-o-lin is a purely herbal preparation for the relief of dis tress as plagued Mrs. Cato when due to constipation. Thousands praise it. Pow-o-lin may be ob tained at Houston Drug Co. /fW U.S.MfAR BONDS Law of Gravity If a person were to take two round balls each five inches in diameter, with one heavier than the other, and' dropped from the same elevation under favorable weather conditions, the two balls will strike the earth at the same time since conditions were fixed so the resistance was th« same on each. The earth's pull on every small particle of like mass is equal. The force on the heavier baft? is greater than on that of the lighter ball but since the mass of the-heav ier ball is greater than that of the lighter ball in the same proportions, the accelerations the two halte will be equal, consequnetly their velocities are equal.
