HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT.
Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than
They Are Worth 10 the Height
Of Folly.

Two things are true when Liberty
Bond changes hands for less than the
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value: another person Is lucky in strik-
Ing a bargain: one Is "a chump. the
other IL fortunate.
You may argue the one Is forced to
sell. Possibly true. but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount OF his in
vested capital on his bond. or will show
him way to get the highest possible
value.
The record OF the sale and purchase
Of Liberty Bonds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way into the hands OF thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par. and
undoubtedly at considerably above par
In Marty every case.
II there Is n more decided example
Of thrift than this. the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to
know Of II.

Cure For Dysentery.

the point OF death with n violent at
tack ofdysentery, and had been given

'For seven years I suffered
and | couldn't find a thing that
would help me but one bottle of
this new medicine, Meritone, has
made me feel like a new person,
said Mrs. Mary Arledge, of 9O8
Union Avenue, Chattanooga,

Nervousness was my chief
trouble" Mrs. Arledge continued.
Il dreaded to go to bed at night
because | couldn't sleep. | just
tossed and rolled about the bed
all night, and,of course. when
morning came, felt so badly |
could hardly get up.
"Meritone was recommended so
highly that finally l started taking
it.
One bottle of Meritone has
done me more good than any other
ever tried, and has
made me feel like new person.
The nervousness has left me
entirel and l can go to bed at night
now and sleep soundlysuntil morn
ing. The tired worn out feeling
use to have is all gol and l feel
good all the time.
Meritone is sold exclusively in
