TAKE THE PLEDGE
AGAINST DRUGS

Swear off on drugs today.
Throw your half filed bottles of
dope and poison into the garbage
can that's a better place for
drugs than in your stomach.
Get back to nature; consider how
she cures and give her the proper
assistance Nature needs strength
and nourishment Drugs are poisons
and poisons don't give that.
II you are nervous you can quiet
your nerves with poison, but just
as soon as the stupor wears off the
trouble returns worse than ever.
Works pretty much like whisky.
A man will fill up on liquor be-
cause 1t makes him feel good, puts
energy into him for a while. But
nerves torture him for more. Like
whisky, every dose of drugs calls
for another.
Doping weak nerves, weak stom-
ach. liver or kidneys with drugs
won't restore them to proper work
ing order. Nature must have new
energy and you can get that only
from electricity.
My method of curing is to feed
the nerves and vitals with nour-
ishing, strength building electricity,
which enables nature to conquer the
disease.
Electro-Vfeor is a body battery
that pumps electricity into your
1t Is entirely different from other
electric appliances Its touch is
gentle. soothing. without shock or
burn. yet so invigora ting and pow
erful that you CAM feel the improve
ment after one application.

Electro-vigor is not. an electric
belt. 1t requires no charging, for

FIRE TAKES LOOKOUT Inn
FAMOUS MOUNTAIN RESORT
BURNED TO THE GROUND.
Blaze on Historic Crest Makes q
Spectacular Sight-Cottages and
Contents Also Destroyed.

| CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. November is
Famous old Lookout Inn. on the crest of
| Lookout mountain. was burned to the
| ground yesterday afternoon. together with
all it's contents. The owners, Messrs
| Jung & Shammotuski. stated that deal
had just been arranged for the sale of the
inn property for S13J.COo. There was S26.-
geo insurance on the hotel and its fur
nshings.
| Aside from the hotel. four cottages and
their contents were destroyed. entailins
loss of $4,000. Thu incline power
house was damaged and the trestle on
| the face of the bluff was ablaze for a
time
Last night there was a streak of fire
almost from the top to the base of Look
out mountain along the line of the incline
railroad. and force of men is fighting
to prevent its spread to the timber and
the many cottages which dot the slope of
the mountain.
The first started in the south wing of
the motel. but the exact cause has not
been ascertained. The general theory is
that defective f1ue is responsible for the
fire. A high wind from the west quickly
carried the flames through the building
and the structure was consumed in a
SltoTt Time
From the city the fire was spectacular
during its early progress. but soon the
mountain was entirely enveloped in dense
smoke With darkness however, the
smoke cleared and the outline of the crest
or old Lockout was marked by rim OF
f1re. with d downward streak, making the
red outline resemble q huge figure g.
The hotel was completed in 1889 and
contained about 400 rooms. Each season
