WOMEN PRAISE
STElLA-VITAE

wantevery afflicted woman to try
at least one bottle of SteIla-Vltae on
our plain, open guarantee to return the
money paid for it if it does not benefit.
If you doubt our word that it will
relieve the distressing aches, pains and
misery peculiar to the diseases of wo-
men, read the testimony ofthese women
who have tried it and are glad to tell
others what it has done for them. The
only interest they have in the matter
is that which any true woman feels in
helping to relievethe sufferings of other
women. You can believe them.
Mrs. J. F. Lee, Milstead, Ga, had
female complaint for years. Three bot
ties of STELLA-VITAE cured her, she
said, and added,"I am certainly thank
full for this great female tonic" Mrs.
Paralee Frazier, Longview, Tex, eX-
pressed appreciation of STELLA-VITAE
in these words: "[ cannot say too much
for this wonderful medicine. | had
taken other female medicines for two
years with no good results. am truly
grateful for the good STELLA-VITAE
has done me-" Mrs. Sandy Withers,
of Greensboro, Ala, was terrible suf-
ferer from female trouble-and only a
woman knows what that means! Her
condition got so bad her pains threw
her into spells like fits. Her husband
feared she would lose her mind. The
Greensboro doctors pronounced her in
durable. Then somebody suggested
that she take STELLA-VITAE. She did
so. The first dose lightened her spells.
STELLA-VITAE is a perfectly harm
less compound and it not only alleviates
a woman's pain, but builds up her
health; it stimulates her appetite, aids
digestion, quiets her nerves and clears
her complexion. 1t improves her per-
sonal appearance.
All dealers sell Stella-Vitae, and az
authorized to return the money PAD
for the first bottle if it does not benefit.
For sale by S. Biggs, Druggist.

Help The Boys.

Our boys are over there
Fighting for you, my friend;
Will you withhold your share
And not blessing send?
Think of the things they need,
The hardships they endure;
When little sacrifice could relieve
The suffering, and health insure.
They are giving their lives for you,
Are you doing aught to help
And to America proving true,
Or do you think only of self
You can make their hardships lighter
By helping to bear the load
You can make the dark clouds brighter
And nearer will seem the goal,
Now is the time to be loyal and true,
To do your part at home;
And show the boys by what you do
That they're not fighting alone.

The Question Of
Japan's lnterven-
ton In Siberia
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, July 2O.-The German men
are is not so pressing as to necessi'
tate an immediate dispatch OF Japa-
nese troops to Siberia. said Viscount
Kato in a recent address to the Con-
stitutional Party Of which he is presi-
dent. ut Is necessary for Japan to
epdeavor to conserve her national
strength and this is no time Tor us
to act precipitantly, declared the WIS.,
count.
He was aware, the opposition lead
er said, that Japanese Intervention IN
Russia was advocated in some quar-
tiers on the ground that there was
danger Of German influence spread
ing in the East to such an extent thai
German bases for submarines, air
planes and zeppelins would be estaD
Ilished at Vladivostok. Another reason
given for intervention was that the
communism preached by the Lenini
government in Russia was epected t
produce bad effect on Japan. Th'
question of intervention, said Wis
count Kato, should be solved CHIEFLY
with an eye to Japan's own interest
and not in reference to the views o
other nations.

In view of the fact that tremen-
dous crop of corn is now reaching
maturity in the state Of Florida, and
In order to protect the farmers who
have so Loyalty responded to the
Governments call to produce more
food Federal Food Administrator,
Braxton Beachan, has authorized the
use of new farmers certificate,
which will enable the farmer who
produces corn and has 1t ground in
to meal or grits, and who produces
other crops, which are listed as
wheat substitutes, to purchase from
the retailer wheat flour without buy
ing additional substitutes.
This certificate is designed so that
1t can be printed by grocers, or
others who have use for them and
farmers can use the certificates when
applying at the grocery store for
their supply Of wheat -four, the only
requirement being that the grocer
must know beyond all doubt that the
applicant is actually a farmer and
has really produced the substitutes
as claimed
Mr.. Beacham has also authorized
use of miller's certificates, by which
a retailer is privileged to buy meal
or grits, or other substitutes from
miller, taking certificate of pur.
chase and submitting this certificate
to a wholesaler or jobber in lieu Of
an order for wheat -four substitutes
The wholesaler or jobber can in
turn use this certificate for his pur-
chases, making a chain transaction
that works no hardship on any deal
er and relieves them from necessity
of buying their substitutes from the
same one who sells them their -four.
In other words it permits the mills
to sell their meal and grits to retail
ers and there are hundreds of mills
in Florida, which will be benefited
by the new order.
Mr.. Beacham has also established
rulings that cover this, and these rul-
ings have been sent to all County
Food Administrators in the State,
making the new conditions clear to
all.
