Years

You were taught at school
that your body undergoes q
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without a moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the It's
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow ''old'.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evil
dence of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
If you are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical
'let-down"-if you are losing
your old time "pep" vim and
vigor-if high tension energy
and nervous strain are begin
ming to tell on you-it's a sure
sign that you are growing "old"
too old foryouryears. You've
reached that stage where your
vital forces need rebuilding.

report issued today
Net earnings after allowing for extra
depreciation charges amounted to $159S,-
00o against $27, 800, 1856 the previous year,
the striking disparity being largely due

man Schwab and President Grace, EN-
phasized the fact the end of the war had
necessitated the charging off of extra
ordinary amounts of profits to cover
losses in values of plant and equipment
installed for the manufacture of war
materials.
Volume of business was the largest in
the companys history, gross sales
amounting to s44S, 410,S0S as compared
with $685. 929, $50 in 1917.

ment and the entente allies. The net re-
suit represents 3.55 per cent on the total

irregular. However, when the State
officers have 80 directed, the League
has sent letters and kilograms to our
Congressman, Senator's and congress

influential citizens. Letters Of appre-
citation Of their votes for the Federal
Suffrage Amendment were sent to
Senator George B. Martin and Con-
gresham W. ]. Fields, and letter OF
protest was sent to Senator Beckham

Suffragists throughout the county
were active in war work during the
entire period of the war. The men,

following County Chairman Of war ac-
tivities: Chairman Of the Womans
