things any man ever buys so far as
the future Of his family and himself
are concerned-buys the agents talk
instead Of a contract that Is backed by
a company that under no circum-

right thing. The manner in which the
Mutual Benefit treated the beneficial
ries of soldiers who lost their lives
while defending our country In con-
trast with the manner in which some
other companies treated the designa-
ted beneficiaries under their policies
is an illustration as to the Mutual
Benefits method, and in a measure

life insurance agents that "The Mutual
Benefit is the Best Policy Holders

Best Agents Company" and assign

 Being in such a poor condition of health I, of course, caught the influenza during the epidemic and that almost finished me.
 My nerves are much better now also and I can sleep fine at night. Meritone also has built me up and made me lot stronger

More than 20 years ago Paw-Paw Tonic was given to the public. Since then it has been improved upon by the addition of Nux and Iron, and today stands out pre-eminently as the best, the safest and most reliable remedy for stomach troubles, disordered nerves and impure blood.
 IRONIZED PAW.PAW IS NOT A
 CURE ALL
 it is prepared just for what we say and no more.
 Don't trifle with your health; if you need some remedy, take a tried one, which for nearly quarter of cen tury has stood the test of time.
 No man or woman is equipped for noble deeds who is dyspeptic or who is suffering from any form of ner- vousness and anaemic conditions of the blood.
 Indigestion, stomach troubles and impure blood weaken our minds, dwarf our capabilities and limit our possibilities.
 Ironized Paw-Paw Remedy will do more to brighten the world, to dis pei gloom, to make happy homes and strong, iron bodies than all the medi- cines that have ever been compound ed. The evidepce we are publishing every day shcdld be conclusive proof.
 A system that is overworked or run down requires safe Tonic. You can obtain it at any first class drug store. Price $1.20. Formula on every bottle. Mail orders promptly attend ed to. Interstate Drug Company, Inc. New York.-Adv.

Alexander City, April S.-(Special) lone of the best conventions that has been held here in many months has just been concluded. The convention was projected by the war work council of the Y. Nj. c. A. Subjects of vital interest to the com munity were discussed, such as health, sanitation, economies, recreation, e(iuca- tion and religion. The communities of Tallapoosa county to the west of the rlVer were practically all represented in the convention. A permanent organiza- ton for carrying out the practical pro gram was formed with chairmen in every community in this part of the county.
 With the programme and organization in hand it is believed that much good will be done in arousing the interest of the people all over this section in the questions which affect daily life and in the adjustment of the soldier to his new surroundings.

Nothing did me any good and finally I just had to give up my position.
