Six Months Rule at Catawba
Makes Admission Easier.

Richmond Va, Sept. d-
Consumptives desiring admis-
sion to the Ca,awba Sauntorium
will hereafter not be compelled
to wait long for admission, ac
cording to reports received Mt
the State Department of Health
from the Sanatorium.
Under the six months rule,
which is now in effect at Gaia
waba, patients leave regularly
and thereby afford openings for
those who wish places. In this
way, the resident physician is
able to give accommodations to
new patients every few days.
While rogretting that the new
rule has compelled so many
patients to leave The Sanator-
ium, the health authorities are
glad that the benefits OF Sana-
forum treatment can now be
shared by an increasingly large
number Of patients. In this
way, they declare, the educa.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Put in a nut shell by the Chat tanooga Trades man:
 1 BUY AT HOME
 Because my interests are here.
 Because the community that is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in. Because 1 believe in transacting business with my friends.
 Because want to see the goods.
 Because 1 want to get what buy when 1 pay for it.
 Because my home dealer 'car- ries" me when 1 am run short.
 Because every dollar 1 spend at home stays at home and helps work for the welfare of the city.
 Because the man buy from stands back of the goods.
 Because 1 sell what 1 produce here at home.
 Because the man buy from pays his part of the town, county and city taxes.
 Because the man 1 buy from gives value received always.
 Because the man buy from helps support my school, my church, my lodge, my home.
 Because when ill luck. misfor- tune or bereavement comes, the man 1 buy from is here with his kindly expressions of greeting. his words of cheer. and his pocketbook, if needs be.
