HALF efficient
MAN AND WOMAN
DON'T EARN MUCH
Health. Wealth, Happiness Arc Three
Most Desirable Things to Be
Sought For.

The Bible is to the vast majority
the true told tale of all that was, and
all that will ever be.
And the Bible teaches, in it's every
chapter. that the foundation Of eternal
happiness can only be builded upon
health and virtue. Therefore, let each
man be the apostle OF his household.
Foe, remember. health in the home
is the solid trueism of happiness.
Can you be healthy when you go
to work after a night Of broken sleep
and without really enjoying your
breakfast? If your work what 1t
should be? Whether you are employ
err or employe, ask yourself a few
questions: Is your memory good !?
Are you accurate in figures? Do you
feel lackadaisical. nervous, out of
sorts or run down generally? Reader,
II you answer these questions--to
yourself, truthfully-you will in nine
cases out OF ten find that your kidneys,
liver. bladder. stomach or nerves are
out Of tune, with what should be a
healthful. harmonious system.
We all know--or should know-that
our bodies require iron: for that is
what gives us physical fitness and
strength. But it is the form in which
we should take the iron--without in
Jury to the teeth, and minus the liver
destroying alcohol---that has puzzled
the chemists and scientists until ma
ture gave to the world "AA,d Iron Min
eral" from a great natt medicinal
iron deposit down in Mi9ossippi.
This Acid Iron Mineral. Is Justly
considered tho worlds greatest health
tonic. for 1T contains the three great

lish a building line on the south side

opinion that establishing the proposed
line would not materially heneht the
community at large and that IL could
not be done under law. Members of
the committee said that their reason
for rejecting the proposition was that
while II would increase the beauty OF
the block. 1t was not for the good Of
the community. and would involve
much unnecessary expense for certain
Of the property owners.

for suspension of rules TO allow the
Southern Railway company to extend
spur track from their main line
across Water street and into the
Hawes' property. was recommended to
