THE RElsQN WHY
Explanation Given Which Explains
Efficacy of 1O1 Tonic.

There are three important ingre-
dients in DR.. Williams 101 Tonic,
each one of which has an important
duty. They are Quinine, Iron and
Mognesia The quinine in the tonic
cl rs the blood of all influenza,
m aria or other harmful germs. The
iron builds up the rich, healthy,
strengthening blood which puts stam-
ina into the weakened body, and the
magnesia acts gently on the liver and
bowels, cleaning away the accumu-
lated pOisons.
This combination is of known
worth for the treatment of Colds,
LaGrippe, Fever, Chills, Influenza,
and Malaria.
During last years Influenza epi-
demic the sales of 101 Tonic increas-
ed over 500 per cent This is proof
a-plenty of the value of this rem
edy for the treatment of "Flu.'' At
the first signs of "fiu" or malaria
use DR.. Williams 101 Tonic. A 25
and so cent bottle may be procured
at your drug store.

AT HIS PERIL
BY JACK LAYTON.

W N4l/N4/NAL/NE( NAL<NACNACNLADND
Billy turned his car into an unfre-
quented road, ald went speeding up
the hill. This afternoons drive was
an aimless one. Billy felt bored and
aimleSs himself. To have a Saturday
half-holiday in which to amuse ones
self and then to find nothing amusing,
was predicament.
Billy wondered what was the matter
with him anyway. Golf, and the Coun-
try club failed to entertain. Young
women of his acquaintance seemed all
at once insipid. Shows held no
charm. What possessed him?
Impatiently he asked himself the
question, and as if in mocking answer
came flashing memory of a certain
girls witching face. Billy had passed
this girl days ago in the city park. She
had been learning to run little road
ster, and his prolonged and interested
scrutiny was overlooked by its object.
Billy envied the instructor. Thereafter
he found himself feverishly speculat-
ing as to the personality Of this broad
shOuldered confident fellow. He might
be brother for his matter-of-fact ac-
ceptance Of his position, or a hus-
band. Billy dismissed the husband
idea-he didn't like it. Because her
eyes reminded him of Natalie Burke.
he took Natalie to the theater that
evening and was disappointed.
Natalie's upward glance was very
different from that of the other girl
with her lashed lids. Billy couldn't
get this girl out of his head, and his
was a practical, well-balanced head,
at that, Then, Just as her pretty fea-
lures were beginning to haunt him
less Billy ran across the girl again in
the lobby of a theater.
For one brcathless moment her eyes
met his steadily as, rec&lessly he drew
near, she vanished through a doorway
and was lost in the theaSer crowd.
That 1t would have availed MIN moth
ing, had he found her. lessened' ,BiIly's
disappointment not bit. He had Nread
in books of these violent fancies AND
had scOffed at their impossibility. Yet, n
now, as he rode along, the girls face
seemed to laugh at him, beckoning on

Red Cross Big Leader
To Disabled Soldiers
Us 60.


ATLANTA, Oct. 21.-Loans total
ing approximately $4,000 have been
advanced to about 1000 disabled
soldiers by the American Red Gross
for numerous personal uses while
tho war veterans are adjusting their
affairs with the Federal Board for
Vocational Training These loans ar
in no sense looked upon as charity
either by the soldier or the Red Cross
the latter considering this bit of
fin 7cial assistance a part of its war
obligation.
Red Cross representatives also have
persuaded nearly 4,500 discharged
men to enter United States public
health hospitals for free treatment
and maintenance pay as result of
disabilities traceable to their war
experiences.
Americus times-recorder., 1919-10-21

while figure bent over its uncovered
engine. AS the figure Strengthened at
his approach, Billy gasped in surprise
and drew up with jar, for it was
the vision girl who looked back at
him across her disabled car.
Billy was at her side Immediately,
boredom already far away.
Can l." he asked eagerly, "be of
assistance?"
The girls dark eyes were troubled
"Will you be so kind as to look this
thing over?" she asked. "You can't
believe how relieved was to see some
one coming. have just learned to run
the car and it was idiotic to bring it
up this way. But" she paused
Didn't you read the warning sign"
Billy asked.
The girl nodded her adorable head.
II couldn't seem to turn the car
around" she confessed Billy laughed.
$50 you had to keep on going?"
The girls laughter mingled with his.
Americus times-recorder., 1919-10-21

yes" she said. Already he was
bending over the machine. 1t appeared
to be in perfect order. There was no
reason why the ear might not start at
once on its downward trip. Still Billy
fingered. Some verse about Never
the time, the place, and the girl al.
together" flashed through his brain.
Here was his golden hour and he
meant to keep ii. So Billy briskly
opened the tool box, tinkering lightly
around the engine, while the wonder
full girl sat on the grass nearby ar.
ranging flowers site had gathered.
Billy lOunging over the car and the
girl gazing idly at her flowers, talked
of many things, while Billy's heart
sang the while.
You'll have to let me lead the
way down." he said. "and superintend
your return. l shan't feel that I've
done my duty either until I've left
you safely at your own door"
"All right" the girl agreed. She
seated herself in the roadster.
1t was a slow and circuitous route
which Billy led. AT sight of the sign
he paused at last ahrouptly.
81 understand the thing now" be
unused. "Ought to post them every.
where you go"
Dangerous" read Billy. Proceed
at your own peril" His eyes sought
hers meaningly.
81 did," he said.
Did what? asked the girl.
"Proceeded-to my own peril" saiG
Bully. He sighed.
Really" asked the girl She smiled
and in that smile, Billy found hii
promise.

A SONG OF
SUMTER

Oh, this old county we live in,
Is surely on a boom!
The folks are coming in so fast
They're crowding US for room.
North Georgia sends US down her
hordes
They like old Sumter's soil
And worthy citizens they make,
These hardy men of toll.
In agriculture every way
Our country can't be beat.
She's noted for her cotton crop,
Potatoes, corn and wheat
Velvet beans and peanuts, too,
Our farmers raise galore,
And sugar cane to feed the mills
And make the cane juice pour.
Pecans and peaches, plums and pears
And water melons sweet!
What better could you ask of her,
Than these good things to eat.
Fine cows Craze on her level plains,
Our hogs are quite a show!
Blue ribbons handed out to them
When to the fairs they go.
Sumter county boys and girls
Are live and wide awake,
Pig clubs, corn clubs, canning too!
A record fine they make.
Automobiles. everywhere!
Paved roads guaranteed!
People, happy, prosperous,
Very few in need.
Schools consolidated now
Children riding in,
For Sumter thinks that ignorance
Is now almost sin.
Americus, our county seat,
Is quite a noted town.
She proudly boasts of health and
wealth
To all who come around.
| And Leslie too, thriving town
Is busy as can be.
Her public spirit makes thing go
In a way that's good to see.
Then Plains, deserving of her name
Is known now for and wide.
Her citizens, her city school
Her dotcors are her pride.
And in our rural districts
Are folks, the very best,
Who do their part in everything
Whenever there's test.
Why worry DER the weevil!
Let him eat the cotton crop!
For Sumter Il grow most anything
And carry US cover the top"
e
Why grumble at the H. c. L.!
Why growl at anything
Just back in Sumter sunshine
And whistle, work and sing.
It's just the county to live in,
To live in till you die,
For Opportunity's her name
And ''Progress" is her cry.
Julia L. Coleman.

Billy's frown changed to a grin.
Here was a venture at least suited to
his mood.
Sounds like a black-han com
munication," he muttered, as his car
ratified over the railroad ties, continu-
ing up the narrow path through a new
cut way.
Proceeding at his own peril
proved but monotonous after all. Vari-
Gus trees alternsted their lines upon
either side, while the rough solitary
road stretched ever above. At the first
chance of turning he decided to re-
verse, and come back down the trail.
But as he glimpsed a widening space
above, he saw that another venture
some one had been before him, and
had come to grief.
