Growing Interest
 in Savings Campaign

A the war savings stamp and z N baby bond campaign progresses a growing interest in this important work is manifested in many counties of Alabama. If this state is to raise $4S, 100000, it's quota of the $2,000,- 100000 sought by the sale of these securities, every rural precinct must be worked up."
 That the full amount called for will be raised should go without saying. The men, women and children of Ala bama have the patriotic spirit, and when they become fully aroused they can accomplish wonders in helping Uncle Sam.
 Birmingham will make another great achievement record in the sav- ings campaign. Mobile, Montgomery, Anniston, Gadsden, Tuscaloosa, Gull man, Huntsville and every other city in the state can do relatively as we'll as Birmingham. County and neigh
 borhood organization will bring the desired results.
 With the advent of spring every rural school should be the center of patriotic endeavor. Children will find excitement enough in record-making in the sale of stamps to add new joy
 to their lives.

Suffering in Indianapolis

Eighteen to 24 inches of snow covered the ground and the ther- mometer registered away below zero in Cincinnati and Indianapolis last week, said R. H. Pogue of the Dewberry & Montgomery Stationery company. who re- turned yesterday from week in these cities.
 The fuel situation is very serious there Although Indianapolis is in the heart ot a coal region and is national headquar- ters of the miners organization, coal is extremely scarce and suffering is wide spread.
 While there I bought seven carloads of desks-approximatel $20,000 worth and managed to get immediate ship ment on three cars. Desks have been scarce on account of the government de- mands, Uncle Sam having bought thou sands of desks the past year.

Bob Toombs Set Precedent

'"The offer of NJ. B. Musgrove and associates to pay the expenses of an extra session of the legislature has a precedent in the history of Georgia 7 said Frank V. Evans.
 Gen. Bob Toombs, for long time an unreconstructed rebel, and, by the way, one of the greatest men who ever lived, wanted new constitution for Georgia in the seventies. The leg islature which authorized the calling of convention failed to provide for per diem and mileage of members.
 General Toombs, with patriotic desire, deposited the amount necessary (about $60,o00) with the state treasury and the convention met, and, with Bob Toombs as a leader, created a consti- tuition suitable to the demands of sSs day, obliterating the organism created by carpet -baggers, scalawags and ig- norant negroes.'

 'The outside cover, carrying an Ameri- can flag in red, white and blue makes it look mighty patriotic, and the manly figure of General Treat the command ing general of Camp Sheridan, with the boys below him with rifles aimed at the approaching enemy, give it most sol dierly appearance. The pictures are real ly very clever, and some of them rep resent the very latest thing in the photog- rapher's art.

MANY SUFFERERS
 ARE GVEN HOPE

Interest continues to grow in this vicinity concerning the new strength builder, lrogen. which scientists are claiming is the essential element need ed for overcoming chronic disease and rebuilding health and vigor.
 It is pointed out that hospital tests and experiments of all kinds have proven conclusively that thin. weak, frail people suffering from commo- complaints .ake on the bloom of health and become strong, sturdy, wig orous men and beautiful, healthy wo- men after adopting the Irogen treat ment.
 If scientists are right, and records from all over this section certainly bear out their claims that lrogen Is the true blood and strength builder, a relief is offered suffering humanity that will rank with the greatest dis coveries of modern times.
 Warning is given, however, that, owing to it's we'll known heSh-bulldng powers, Irogen should not he taken by any one who does not desire to add flesh.
 Notc-Irogen, the product mention ed above, is now on sale in Prescott by the Hesterly Drug Store, and by
  the leading druggists in practically every city, town and village in the State.
