MRS PHILLIPS
TAKES IRON IF
BLOOD Is BAD
SUFFERED TWO YEARS WITH PEI
LAGRA. SHE COULDN'T WALK
ABOUT THE HOUSE. IRON
BUILT HER UP.
TELLS WHAT KIND OF
IRON TO TAKE.

Everyone energy, vitality ano
general good health depends SC
much upon the condition of their
blood, and the normal functioning
of the the vital organs of the stom.
ach, kidneys, liver, and bowels, the
slightest irregularity should be cor
rected Immediately.
Anyone troubled with their
blood, for instance, is sure to soon
er or later experience uric acid pains,
weak, lame back, lost strength, nerv-
business, headaches, dizzy spells OF
some other kindred symptoms, and
iron has become so well known as
the one best remedy everybody
should use it. The question is, in
what form? Iron is put up by the
chemist in pills, liquid solutions,
and mixed with all sorts of elements
including, in some cases, altogether
too much alcohol for the good OF
the system.
The cheapest. strongest, most ef-
ficient remedy is plain, natural
iron, highly concentrated, and bot.
tied Just as nature intended it should
oe taken. 1t is called Acid Iron
Mineral, is sold by druggists in fifty
cent and dollar bottles. 1t goes
from two to six times as far. 1t
will help the digestion, stomach,
kidneys, and blood. If the bowels
are inactive a good liver pill like the
AIN Liver Pill at 25c for gener-
Gus size box is recommended. Peo-
pie with normal bowels should not
use iron formed in combination with
laxativeS. Altogether too many
remedies contain purgatives.
To indicate how quickly Acid
Irod Mineral will cleanse the blood
and tone up the general system and
renew the wasted strength the state
ment of Mrs \ f Phillips of ker-
shaw, s G., is quoted below:
Il began to be troubled with my
bowels, stomach and blood little
over two years ago. 1t finally turn
ed into pellagra AID at the end Of
that two years suffering | couldn't
even walk about the house. Mrs
Ella Hunter suggested take Acid
Iron Mineral and after taking it six
weeks and using but four small bot
ties, | am up about doing my work
and gaining in strength every day.
1t has done me more good than any
thing | have ever tried and am glad
indeed to recommend it to anyone
who needs a good tonic or for pella-
gra or stomach trouble" "
A teaspoonful of Acid Iron Min
eral in glass of water after meals
makes an unusual, powerful, eco
nomical and delightfully."- invigorat-
ing tonic, appetizer, blood and kid
ney.remedy.
4 large dollar bottle if druggist
hasn't it will be sent prepaid on re-
ceipt of price by the Ferrodlne

Our County Fair.

Villdtlouuis 1 SouhsS s'hiN "
al fair will be held November l3 to
l6, inclusive, and from present indi-
cations it will be the greatest fair
ever held in Kingstree. In 1916.
Notwithstanding that our county suf-
fered from the disastrous flood and
storm, we held better fair than
the year before and our exhibits ex-
ceeded our most sanguine expecta-
tions. With the return of prosperity
and plenty this year. there is no rea-
son why we should not have the very
largest and best to be had.
The primary object of the VIII
liamsburg County Fair association is
the development of our agricultural
resources and the promotion of the
material, educational and industrial
interests of the county. Since it's or
ganization, the growth and improve
ment in live stock, poultry and farm
products have been marvellous.
When the fair was first organized
there were hardly any pure-bred
fowls in the county; now our poultry
exhibit, based on that of last year,
will rank next to the best made
in the State. The Importance
of improving our breed of hogs
has been taught and empha-
sized, and the county ranks first
in the State as to number raised,
saying nothing about the quality.
The same improvement and develop
ment may also be seen throughout
the county in cattle fer beef pur-
poses as we'll as better milchers. Our
annual fairs have already been a
wonderful incentive along new lines
of development, and it should be the
determination of every person in the
county to make the fair this fall the
largest and best.
No pains will be spared in provid-
ing entertainment and amusement
for the people who attend. There
will be high-class attractions, and
the midway will be managed by one
of the best carnival companies or
the road, whose shows are all clean
and entertaining. These free attrac-
tions will be announced next week.
The pfemium list will be ready in
a few days, and your secretary will
begin its distribution Immediately.
The premiums offered in many cases
are larger and more attractive, and
it will be to your interest to supply
yourself with copy of it. Drop
line to the secretary and get your
copy so that you may prepare your
exhibits and then notify him on
entry blanks which he will furnish
you.
The programme for each day is
being arranged by the entertain
ment committee, and will be both
educational and entertaining.
! Let Us all come together. pull to-
gether, and make this, the third
county fair. bigger than the biggest.
We have the resources and enough
public spirited citizens to make it
possible, then. why not do it?

Shat the German submarine campaign

that would mean something much Tess

standardization reasonably safe the
military defeat of the German army
was certain.
Loss Can Be Replaced.
; I'm tho first fortnight OF Novemoer
the rate of losses of British tonnage OF
ships greater than $500 tons each has
FALLEN to about one million tons year.
: The present shipbuilding capacity OF
Great Britain alone can make this loss
GOOD in less than eight months. At the
rate America, Great Britain and Japan
are striving to attain. we should re-
splace this loss in less than eight weeks.
The rate of loss for the last week Is &C
stually less than the annual toll OF
wrecks In peace time. 1t Is an amazing
development 1t is not to be expected
that losses can remain as low as this.
Uhey must fiuctuate. But they should
never cause US serious uneasiness
again.

power, the greatest war achievement OF
the British, American and allied navies
In the last three and q half years. we
may be sure that there will be reac-
tion OF optimism. For Germany's de-
feat at sea Is final universal and per-
smanent. whereas Germany's successes
on land are local. partial and temporary.

and improve still further her roads.

Maryland receives money from the
federal government for road improve
ment under a law and she could well
use some of that money for the elm
inatio of dead mans curve.
She has capable highway engineer.
but he must be given money and au-
tority for Strengthening out the road at

IF Baltimore wants to continue to
have large numbers of visitors via au-

mating this danger spot. The visitors
spend far more money in that city than
the cost of the wear and tear on the
