Growth in Thrift
The building and loan association
movement has expanded greatly in the
last decade. In 1912 there were about
®,300 associations in the United States,
and by 1924 this number had increased
to nearly 11,000. Membership in asso¬
ciations increased from 2,000,000 to
more than 7,200,000, and total assets
of associations from $1,000,000,000 to
$3,900,000,000.

Break Your Chains of Misery
Rheumatism, lumbago, kidney trouble and other such
ailments are like chains and shackles that bind you
down. They destroy your wage-earning power, make
you feel and act years older than you really are, and
keep you in misery. And these ailments grow steadily
worse. They finally become dangerous.
Yet you can break these chains of misery! Just
remember that these ills are caused by impure
blood—blood that does not contain enough iron.
Without iron, your blood cannot throw the poisons
out of your body. Instead, it keeps on gathering
and circulating these poisons through your system.
This is why you should begin at once to take Acid Iron
Mineral. This amazing iron tonic is Nature’s own
product. Physicians and scientists have been unable
to duplicate it. Unlike any other mineral iron—it is
quickly absorbed into your blood, and
gives it strength to throw off impurities
which cause your bad health. It is posi¬
tively guaranteed.

SEVERAL DAYS
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Newsy Paragraphs Gathered Through¬
out The State For The Benefit
Of Our Readers
Atlanta—Robert A. Schulter, 39, un¬
til recently an inmate of the Atlanta
federal penitentiary, is the most
sought-after man in this section of the
United States, according to John W.
Snook, warden of the Atlanta institu¬
tion. Schulter was an inmate of what
is known as honor farm number 2 of
the prison until he took French leave.
The escaped convict, who has sev¬
eral aliases, is thought by prison, of¬
ficials to be Peter Wheelen, who was
sentenced under the name of Schulter
at Cleveland, Ohio, on charges of us¬
ing the mails to defraud. He was
convicted and began his five-yoar term
as number 15300 on January 19, 1923.
Prison officials have flashed a de¬
scription of the convict to the princi¬
pal cities of the country and offered
a reward for his capture.
“This is the first, escape since my
administration,” Mr. Snook said, “and
I am exceedingly anxious to capture
him. He was one of the most trusted
men here and although rules recent¬
ly have been clamped down, he man¬
aged to elude his guard and get away.
A detailed report of the matter has
not been filed at this office, but re¬
ports are to the effect that he secret¬
ed himself and had a good start when
the roll was called.
Besides Schulter and Wheeden, he
is known under the names of Robert
Austin, W. W. Roverton, Robert
Kennedy and Janies P. King.
