APPEAL ON BEHALF OF
WAR STAMP CAMPAIGN

To the People of Crisp County:
"You have soldier at the front
He has offered up his life
He may not be your brother,
You may not be his wife.
But still, for you in battle
He fights and will protect.
Can you forget your soldier?
Can you his needs neglect.
You have soldier at the front,
Perhaps in some damp trench,
Or suffering on the battlefield
Amidst it's blood and strench,
For you this hero suffers,
For you he rolls in pain
Can you forget your soldier?
Can he wait your aid in vain.
eegssssS s5ST
Every man, woman and child in
Crisp county expects-yes knows-that
every one of our boys in France is
ready and anxious to go cover the
top but what have you got to say
for yourself?. Are you doing your
part?. Perhaps you did buy liberty
bond, but your Government calls
again. Now it's buy War-Saving
Stamps During this month you can
buy Savings Stamps for $416 each,
they bear 40 interest compound

thrift stamp which cost rs cents. You
certainly find a place in these broad
limits to show your patriotism. Crisp

should make in the purchase of
Thrift and War-Savings Stamps. | APP

GETTING RID OR FLEAs

Fleas can be exterminated by the
simple eXpedint of scattering cheap
rock salt about the place where they
infest, and spraying with kerosene.
The salt makes the ground too damp
for then, and they soon die or move
out.-Southern Ruralist.

Dcutschlands says:
"The nervous affection among SOL
diers, which lauses a constant trem-
bling of the whole or part OF the
body. seems much worse to the on
boxers than to the actual sufferers
and on this account has often made
it very difficult for the latter to op-
tain employment, especially as the
malady was supposed to be incurable.
AS early as a year ago, however,
Sanitatsrat DR.. Ernst Boyer, chief
physician of the nerve hospital az
Roderbirken. near Leichlingen, de-
clared that this trembling could be
cured. The results obtained at the
tine were not very satisfactory, but
meanwhile 1t has been found posi-
BILE to remove trembling and other
nervous twitchings with rapidity

that many hundreds of those affected
