Albert Smii'a, Jim L. Hall and

CHAIRMAN ASKS
COOPERATION in
RED CROSS DRIVE.

Some thoughts of the distribution
of the burden in connection with the
coming Red Cross Roll Call have been
prepared by Gordon Howell, chair
man for Sumter county, who has per-
fected his organization for the en-
tire county and now appeals for CO.
operation on the part of the public in
putting the drive over.
Here is what Mr.. Howell says, in
little appeal to every citizen:
THE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION.
"Did you ever stop to think that
nothing can be ACCOMPLISHED without
cooperation? This is equally as true
in the business world as in the sphere
of charities. In the business world
there is the monetary consideration
TO make cooperation profitable, and
necessary as a bread winner. What
is the tie that binds in the world of
service in which there is no monetary
consideration. 1t is the thought that
YOU are doing for others what they
cannot do for themselves. The Amer
ican Red Cross ras seen fit to ask
for a renewal of the memberhips in
that organization, and for the enlist
ment of new members. Whose duty
is it to secure these members and re-
newals?
"In the first place it is the duty of
those who have agreed to do the
work. Some must work six hours a
day during the preparation for the
campaign. and during the campaign.
There is no monetary consideration
to those. Is it asking to much for
those who do not give the campaign
any of their time, to give their dol
lar? And is it asking too much of
the manager of store or mill to
solicit memberships from his en-
ployees so as to make store or shoI
100 per cent institution. They are
the logical ones to handle this propo-
sition and it is not asking too much
of them.
''Do you think it is? If so, you
should serve as general chairman and
you would see the proposition in the
proper light

DR.. Hitchcock's Liver, Kidney &
Blood Powders, Purely Veg
etable Compound, Will Keep
Your Tripod in Balance.
WILL NOT MAKE YOU SICK

Any doctor will tell you that if you
will keep your Liver, Kidneys and
Blood in good condition, the rest of
your system will take care of itself.
The liver, kidneys and blood do not
function Independently, but rely one
upon the other, and what upsets one
will upset the others.
Therefore, when you get half sick
with symptoms of disordered liver,
you are only treating a third of your
trouble when you treat your liver
alone. What you need is something
that will not only set the liver right,
but also regulate the, kidneys and
purify the blood.
