HOW TO AVOID COLD
WEATHER DISEASES

To prevent cold weather diseases
put your body in proper healthy con-
dition to successfully resist them.

catarrh, typhoid fever, rheumatism,
and other ailments may be escaped

up your health and strength-your
nerves and blood and entire body
into such shape that you can count
on good health all during the winter
months-by taking ReXall Olive Oil
Emulsion, the ideal blood, nerve and
body builder.
This is a remarkable medicine, but

ulate. So-called ''tonics' that stimu-
late give you no permanent relief;
but leave you worse off than before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion contains
none OF these harmful, stimulating
ingredients, such as alcohol and dan
gerous and habit-fOrming drugs. Its
great benefit to you is through its
real nerve and blood and bOdy-build-
ing effects. 1t nourishes, builds,
strengthens. Its merit does not rest
on making you feel better for few
minutes at a time after taking it, but
or making you feel better as result
OF making you well.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is the
ideal blood and nerve-foCd tonic. You
who are weak and rundown, and you
who are apparently well now, but are
liable to suffer from various cold
weather ailments, use Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion to get and keep well
and strong. For the tired-out, run
down, nervous, emaciated or debili-
tated-the cOnvalescing-g growing
children-aged people-it is a sensi-
BILE aid to renewed strength, better
spirits, glowing health.
Rexall Olive Oil transforming
of the celebrated Rexall Remedies
is for freedom from sickness of you
and your family. You'll be as enthu-
siastic about it as We are when you
have noted its pleasant taste, its
strengthening, invigorating, building
up, disease-preventing effects. If 1t
does not help you your money will
be given back to you without argu-
ment Sold in this community only

WOMEN THANKFUL FOR TREES
More Than a Hundred Were Planted
in Dawson by Conservation Com
mittee OF the Club.

Several years ago a law was enact
ed by the general assembly of Geor-
gia providing, THAT the first Friday
in December in each year shall be
set apart and consecrated as 4 day
for tree planting, and shall be known
throughout the state as Arbor Day, !"
which fell this year on Dec. 5th.
The conservation committee Of the
Woman's Club was not Indifferent to
this law. The seventy live oaks on
College street, the m8gnolias around
the club house and many other trees
planted that day bear witness of their
activity. The ladies of this commit
tee are indebted to Mr.. L. c. Durham
for the hundred trees he so generous
Iy donated; to the city fathers and
Mr. Thos. Harden for having them
planted, and to others who on this
occasion contributed toward making
Dawson beautiful.
Charles Dudley Warner said: "The
care of tree is the best part of a
be. S education" Then, as we realize
that all associations with outdoor
life and appreciation of the JOY of
living with nature are inseparably
mingled with the silent companion
ship of trees, let us take care of
the trees which have been planted
and thus give pleasure to generations
to come.

A MULE WALKED A TRESTLE
Performing the Feat, and Has
a Broken Leg.

A few days ago two mules got out
of a lot on a farm near Sasser that
belongs to Mr.. J. R. Mercer, and
while meandering around undertook
to walk the trestle of the Seaboard
Air Line railway over Chickasaw-
hatches creek.
One of the mules, strange to say,
successfully performed the feat,
which a great many people would not
like to undertake. The other. one,
however, failed to make the trip over
the stream on the crossties, and the
result is that it has a broken leg.
The injured mule is a fine $500
animal, and Mr.. Mercer has little
hope of it's being of service again.
