ELIZABETH CITY
MINISTER PRAISES
INDIGESTION REMEDY
Says He Thinks There is Nothing
Like 1t and Friends Who Have
Taken 1t Also Got Relief
from Stomach
A Non-Alcoholic Highly
Concentrated Iron Remedy

The Reverend H. H. Norman, of
Elizabeth City, N. c., wrote the other
day: Il suffered from indigestion
troubles for long time and must
say it was hard to find relief until
bought that first bottle of Acid Iron
Mineral, but now | am able to per-
! form duties that before its use l had
to almost entirely abandon"
People in all walks of life find
! it hard to do their work when the
digestion is poor and system become
under-nourished. The bricklayer with
high wages prevailing often cannot
get ahead because of poor health 1t
is the same with farmers who raise
but fraction of the crop they could
if their health permitted harder
work.
Continuing his statement, this min
lister said: Finding so much relief
tor myself | have bought bottles of
it for friends and they too were re-
lleved and strengthened so | want to
recommend it to all now as l think
there is nothing like it."
Acid Iron Mineral is the product
of a natural and truly remarkable
natural iron deposit found in Mis-
sissippi, highly concentrated and a
great remedy for stomach, digestion,
kidney, blood, and uric acid troubles.

Shoots Money Into Bank.

For the thrifty soul with sportsman
like tendencies novel savings bank
mas recently been invented. BY clev-
er arrangement of the bank and a
small gun on metal stand you are
able to shoot your money into safe
Keeping. The bank is concealed by a
targetlike arrangement with slot in
the bulls eye. The nickel, dime OF
quarter is placed in the gun; the trig-
ger is pulled and the coin flies into
the bank.

Treatment of Walls,

II molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do SO much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding IS in line with
the top of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using a paneling
beneath the sill, and to carry the tops
of doors and windows to fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect of a good paper
is enhanced. A plain paper has the
dignity OF panel when so used.

Miller's Antiseptic Oil, Known as
Snake Oil

Minutes.

Neuralgia, Lumbago, sore, stiff and
swollen joints, pains in the head,

as if by magic.
A new remedy used internally and
externally for Coughs, Colds, Group,
Sore Throat, Diphtheria and Tonsi-
litis.
This oil is conceded to be the most
penetrating remedy known. Its
prompt and immediate effect in re-
lieving pain is due to the fact that
it penetrates to the affected parts at

drops on the thickest piece of sole
leather and it will penetrate this sub
stance through and through in three.

NOTICE TO ENEMY ALIENS

There has arisen a question in the
minds of some as to whether the reg
istration of Alien Enemies applied to
Austrians, Turks and Bulgarians.
This is to advise that the registration
applies to German alien enemies only.

THE TOWN CRIER

Ot dealers IN supplies.
The dealers, tho, are not to blame,
The fault lies back upstream
Rehneries should bear the shame
And lose our high esteem.
If it should be, beyond a daubt,
Developed that the price
Os gasoline's inflated out
The courts should make a slice
And jar loose all the surplus cash
Which oil rehneries make,
And squeeze and cut, and pound and
mash
The profits that they take.

not desirable anyhow. because the
trust has on the whole been beneficial
So we have. another member added
to the brotherhood of good trusts
trusts that may not have been good in
their original purpose and early his
tory, but which are good enough now
to deserve tolerance. A similar atti-
tude Is expected toward the steel
trust, In the biggest Sherman law case
still pending. Most of the important
trust suits have been postponed on ac
count OF the war, in order not to in
terfere unduly with, present business
demands. Many of them will probably
never come to a hearing.
The plain fact is that the war has
brought new attitude toward trusts
1t has quickly demonstrated that mere
size is not essentially criminal. despite
the old, literal technical decisions to
that effect. II is recognized now as
never before that in order to do big
things, business must be done ON a
big scale. with big organizations. 1t

great Industrial machine that may be
used for a good or bad purpose.
The things that count are the spir-
II and method of operation. Public
opinion has made the spirit of our
trusts harmonize better than it used
to with ordinary morals. And the gov
ernment has attained such supervis-
ion over big business methods that
the trusts can't 80 far..wrong if they

can liberty more effectively in the

now almost ready to make 1t fully and
finally effective by routing it's enem-
les. The greater part of mankind has
already accepted it. The rest must
yield. We are fighting not only to
make the world safe for democracy"
but to make the world democratic, to
Americanize the world-not for our
aggrandizement or glory, but for the
worlds salvation.
This exalted missionary spirit
which seeks conquest only in the
realm of ideals, foregoing material ad-
vantage. is something Germany can
not understand. And that is one of
the reasons why Germany must go
under.
