1 Don’t Trifle With Your Health! 1
—it is too precious a possession. It is trifling to neglect the little every-day kind
of ailments. It is trifling, too, to take medicines of unknown or doubtful ingredi
ents. If your stomach gets out of order, your food is not digested and, of course,
your blood gets thin and you become weak, ready to be a prey to the disease
germs always ready to attack the run-down and the anaemic. If your
liver can’t do its work, your blood becomes impure and many troubles
follow. If your bowels are irregular, poisons accumulate in your body.
DR. PIERCE’S GOLDEN
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
helps the stomach to digest food properly, strengthens the liver, regulates the bowels.
As a consequence you are vigorous, full of snap and life! Forty years ago Dr. Pierce
discovered that a glyceric extract of Golden Seal and Oregon grape roots, of queen’s root
and bloodroot with black cherry bark would aid all
the digestive organs to work as Nature intended
they should. Thousands have found that the Golden
Medical Discovery he then introduced to the world
has restored them to health when suffering from
stomach and liver troubles. Now is the time for
you to try this famous remedy and to secure
for yourself a larger share of health and strength.
You can get the Golden Medical Discovery
in tablet or liquid form from dealers
in medicines—or send 50 one-cent stamps
for a trial box of Dr. Pierce’s tablets.
The knowledge you ought to have about your body—and to
enable you to avoid sickness—you will find in Dr. Pierce’s
great book, The Common Sense Medical Adviser. Thousands
of copies have been sold at $1.50 each, but you can get a copy
free if you will send 31 one-cent stamps merely to pay for the
wrapping and mailing of the newly revised and up-to-date

AT THE STRAND
“Aristocracy” Today Only.
The Paramount Pictures Corpora
tion, whose recent releases have creat
ed much favorable comment in this
city, present Tyrone Power, one of
the most important stars of the mod
ern stage, in the Famous Players Film
Company’s four-part film version of
Bronson Howard’s great theatrical
success, “Aristocracy,” which is being
(in Tablet or Liquid Form)
presented at the Strand today only.
Taking for its theme the danger
and evils of social ambitions as ex
emplified by the young wife of an
American millionaire (commendably
portrayed by Margeurite Skirvin),
“Aristocracy” presents a forceful
moral in an intensely dramatic man
ner. In the role of the millionaire
who despises the cant and hypocrisy
of the aristocrats into whose circle
his wife seeks admission. Tyrone
Power repeats the dramatic success
he recently attained in the great stage
triumph, “The Servant in the House."
The influence of the rugged and
masterful Stockton, portrayed by Ty
rone Power, the reckless nature of his
young wife, Diana, the sweet wholo
someness of his daughter, Virginia,
the sturdy faith of Stuyvesant, her
love, and the evil, sinister, plotting
foreign marquis, contribute such a va
riety of interest to the subject as to
be entertaining and absorbing
throughout.
Tomorrow the Strand offers Mary
Pickford in “Hearts Adrift.” and Sat
urday Detective Wm. J. Burns in “The
$5,000,000 Counterfieting Plot."

Club Meeting. Proposed to Set
Up Exchange in Augusta.

mers’ Exchange in Augusta by the
farmers of the Savannah River Val
ley Agricultural Clubs came up Wed
nesday for discussion at the meeting

exchange to co-operate with him in
obtaining the best price for the output
of his plantation. The proposed plan
will extend not only to handling hay
and grain, hut will embrace all farm
produce.
By telephoning to the exchange the
farmer will he able to ascertain the
market price of his produce at all
times without having to go to the
trouble of hauling them to the city.

R. O. Berckmans, J. W. Westbrook and
H. C. Hahn was appointed by the
Schultz Township Club to look Into
the details and make a thorough Btudy
of the plan and render a report at the
