Fever Left Him Weak
Dreco Made Him
Strong Again
Well Known Auto Mechanic of
Sumter Says He Can Eat a
Pound of Steak Now and Go
Right to Bed and Have No
Bad Effect.

Persons who have hat spell Of
sickness of any kind, whether influ-
enza, fever or what rot, are ir need
that will give them a good appetite
and at the same ime strengthen the
stomach and digestive organs so that
the entire system will be nouriShed
and the blood enriched. No better
tonic is within reach Of the public to-
day than Dreco, the new herbal prep
aration made from the juices and ex-
tracts Of natures own roots, herbs,
barks and berries. 1t builds up the
whole system by producing rich, red
blood, by strengthening the stomach
and keeping bowels and kidneys well
regulated.
"a spell of fever left me in very
weak condition." says Mr.. w. E.
West, the well known auto mechanic
who lives at 105 Magnolia street, Sum-
ter. S. c., but I have been taking
Dreco and it has built me up wonder
fully and I am as strong as ever in
my life My stomach is so well now
that / can eat a pound of beef steak
and go right to pea ana II never ootA-
ers me. My kidneys and bowels act
regularly every day and I do not have
any more dizzy spells used to have
either .and my tongue does not have
that white ccat over it nor any more
heartburn Dreco is fine medicine
and sure has done me lot of good
and YOU can count on me always
speaking a good word for il"
The above words are the very best
evidence of what Dreco can do, and
and has already done. If they were
not true this man would not allow his
name to be used in the papers.
Dreco is now sold by all druggists
and is highly recommended 10 the
trade by Siberts Drug Store Of Sum-
ter.-Advt.

Glass Makes Appeal

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Secretary
Glass in a statement tonight request
ed charitable organizations seeking
funds by public subscription 10 re-
frain from making any suggestion 10
the public that they will accept Lib
erty bonds or war savings stamps
unless they intend to use these Sc
curities as endowment funds to pc
held for permanent investment.
Mr.. Glass said the taking of bonds
by charitable organizations and their
consequent resale on the open market
has a tendency to depress the price.
This. Mr.. Glass said, makes 1t more
difficult for the government to obtain
the money it needs upon reasonable
terms.

SERGEANT sToKELY is
ADDED TO DEATH ROLL

ASHEVILLE. N. c., Dec. L.
While friends here and elsewhere
were celebrating the dawn of peace
and rejoicing in his apparent success
full delivery from the horrors and
hazards of warfare, Sergeant Royal
Stokely had been lowered into sol
dier's grave on the fields of France.
CAS- representatives of a conquered
nation went forward to sign terms
of the most humiliating surrender in
the worlds history, the Asheville boy
who had given up his hope of living
to make victory possible for his ma
tive land, breathed his last, A mes
sage from the war department to the
mother of the dead soldier yesterday
bore the tragic information that Ser
geant Stokely died of influenza on
the tenth of November-the day be-
fore the world was freed of a war
fare to which he gave his life freely
and willingly in order that American
manhood and womanhood might be
absolved from the menace of German
domination.
Sergeant Stokely was "a years Of
age, being the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Royal Stokely, Of 81 Orange street.
He is survived by his parents, two
sisters, Mrs. Charles L. Grigsby, and
Miss Lila Stokely, of Asheville, and
one brother, Swami Stokely, of At
lanta. He was an alumnus of the
Asheville High school and of Tus-
culum college, Tennessee, at both of
which institutions he took an active
part in student activities, being
basketball player of unusual ability.
After leaving the Tennessee college,
he entered the service of Theobold
and Brandt, who then owned the
Candy Kitchen, where his close APP
plication to duty made him valued
member of the corps of that establish
ment. It was while he was employed
there that he enlisted with half
dozen close friends in cavalry troop
B, at that time affiliated with the
North Carolina national guard. AL
though entering the service as a pri-
vate, he soon was promoted to the
rank of corporal, and later was made
sergeant.
