Takes Desperate Chances

Itis true that many contract colds and
recover from them without taking any
pre- autIon or treatment, and knowl-
edge of this fact Heads others to take
their chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. IC should
be borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes
the system less able to withstand each
succeeding cold and paves the way for
more serious diseases, Can you afford
to take such desperate chances when

That Americas people believe an oil

in subs criptions to the capital stock of

The new company is "home enter

The prospect for good cotton and

replanting the situation is becoming
ominous. No one here can remember
such weather heretofore in April, and
