Tonoline Is Beauty Aid,
Announces Specialist
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to
Wou,an

Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to
Women.
AS health is a first aid to beauty
this story, told by Mildred Louise,
beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass,
is of unusual interest.
Il can recommend no better health
giver than Tonoline," said Mildred
Louise.
II was for many months a victim
of stomach trouble and nervousness.
l had suffered terribly from pains
that followed eating. Headaches al
so would add to my worries. Poor
digestion finally brought nervousness.
Relief came, however, when
took the advice of several women
who said, ''Take Tonoline.'
"Not long after started the Tono-
line treatment, my patrons began to
remind me of the improvement in
my condition. And because health
is the quickest way to beauty, the
Improvement was particularly notice
able in my face.
What Tonoline really did for me
| cannot say. / am so grateful that
l am very willing to recommend Ton
oline publicly"
Tonoline is a purely vegetable
preparation which goes to the seat
of common maladies-stomach and
kidney trouble, catarrhal affections
of the mucous membranes, liver all
ments and impurities of the blood
and quickly restores proper action.
Tonoline is being explained daily to
many people at Dawson Drug Co.,
and Williams Pharmacy, Shellman.
Notice AS Tonoline is a wonder
full flesh builder it should not be TAX
en- by any one not wishing to in
crease his weight ten pounds or
more. Although many reports are
received from those who have been
benefited by Tonoline in severe cases
of stomach trouble and nervous dys-
pepsia, chronic constipation, etc.

ONE IN SEVEN YOUR
CHANCE BEING DRAWN
WAR EXEMPTION REGULATION
COMPLETED, AND MAY BE
ANNOUNCED ANY TIME.

The war exemption regulations
have been completed and approved
by the secretary of war and the pres
ident, and may be published any day
now.
The regulations are stringent, and
designed to exempt only men per-
forming indispensable duties from
service at the front.
Now that we have registered, what
next is the question in the minds of
about 100000 young men and
their 3O.000,000 relatives?
The answer in some of its details
will be DELAYED until official publica-
ton of the regulations mentioned
above. Some of the questions, how
ever, can be answered. For instance,
how are the men to be chosen? What
are the chances of being selected by
lottery and by exemption boards?
In round numbers a million and
half names will be taken by lot from
the 100000 registered names. The
chances are about one in seven and
a half of being selected in this lot
terv. Then will follow exemptions
on the ground of occupation, depen-
dent relatives or physical defects.
This will cut the number down to
100000, so that the chance is one in
three of being selected from the list
chosen by lot.
AS to Married Men.
VIII married men be excused? At
this writing this question is unans-
wered. 1t may be covered by the
regulations which will before long
be published. Probably it will be left
largely to the judgment of the 10 eal
exemption boards.
Will sons with dependent mothers
be excused? Again the answer is to
be found in the regulations and the
judment of the local exemption
boards.
Broadly speaking, it may be said
that those having dependent relatives
will be excused. Not all, however,
will be excused. They are more
likely to be excused, however, if their
occupation is important to industry,
as, for instance, if they are in a me-
chanical trade or farming.
If it should happen that the man
with dependent relative be a law
yer or have no regular profession,
he might still be selected on the
theory that the $50 a month to be
paid him as soldier would go far
Their toward supporting his Deepen
dent mother than casual earnings in
industry or his profession.
1t is expected that about one man
in three will measure up to the ply
steal requirements. These require
ments will necessarily be relaxed
from the severe tests applied to the
regular army and will com nearer to
those applied to the state MALTA.

TERRELL TAKES NEAR
100000 OF BONDS
TRUE PATRIOTISM is EVIDENC-
ED BY BANKING INSTITU-
TIONS AND INDIVIDUALS.

Dawson and Terrell county rallied
to Uncle Sam in a very substantial
and creditable manner in the cam
paign for the sale of liberty bonds.
The banks in Dawson subscribed
for 100000 of the bonds. The Daw-
son National and the City National
took $4,000 each, and the Dawson
National has offered for $4,000
more. Individual subscriptions ag-
gregated $4,000.
The banks of the other towns of
the county showed themselves equal
ly as enthusiastic and patriotic,
especially the Planters Bank of Par
rott, which subscribed for $17,200 of
bonds, the largest single subscrip-
ton IN the county. Bronwood and
Sasser both made creditable invest
ments in the bonds.
During the last few days before
the time for closing the sale of the
bonds almost everybody showed a
willingness or desire to do their bit
towards helping along the cause
against the tyranny of Germany.
Issue Oversubscribed.
The liberty loan of the nation was
tremendously oversubscribed. The
total will reach approximately ST.
570,000,00O.
Every federal reserve district, with
the possible exception of Atlanta
and Kansas City, appears to have ex-
ceeded its minimum allotment.
