WANAMAKER'S
After AH This Is the Ne1us That Interests the People
The Blue Stocking

From recollections of half century ago,
this term was applied to one of the religious
organizations.
Careful reading, however, traces it's
beginning to Society formed in Venice in 400,
where it was still extant in 1890; thence it
crossed the Alps and found a welcome in Paris,
where it was adopted as a new brand of female
vanity.
It then found its way to England to coteries
Of fashionable women.
In Boswell's life of Johnson, the records of
1881 give the origin of the Blue Stocking.
Zone of the most eminent members of these
societies was Mr.. Stillingheet, grandson of the
bishop who wore blue stockings" Such was the
excellence of his conversation, that his absence
was felt to be so great a loss that it used to be
said 1--WE can do nothing without the Blue
Stockings; and thus by degrees the title was
established.
Miss Hannah More admirably described
Blue Stocking Club in her Bas Bleu.
The Old-time customs of Englishmen, of
court dress, of short breeches and high
stockings, with beautiful buckles, were most
attractive.
These old customs may come around again.
Why not?

MANY SOUTHERNERS
NOW PRAISE PURATONE
Superintendent John Hungerford
Relates Remarkable Experience.
Says Puratone Was Worth More
to Him Than ALI Money on Earth.

No medicine has ever accom-
plished such startling and magic
like results in Georgia as has Pura-
tone during the past few weeks.
]. e. Hungerford, superintendent
of the service department of the
Frigidaire Corp, and residing at 257
East North avenue, Atlanta, said:
For nine year my stomach had
been giving me trouble. 1 had to
be very careful what l ate-in fact,
for long time / was on diet of
soup. Gas formed on my stomach
so bad it got as tight as a drum, and
/ would bloat and have awful smoth-
ering spells until could hardly get
my breath. felt all stuffed up, and
draggy, lazy and tired all the time.
My head ached so bad it seemed there
were iron bands tied about my head.
Then rheumatism set in, and
nearly every muscle in my body
ached
81 took all kinds of medicines and
was treated by doctors in three diff
ferent States, and spent hundreds of
dollars, but nothing did me any
good. I decided to give Puratone a
trial, and it seemed to take hold
right at once. 1t acted more like
magic than medicine. 1 tell you, l
feel like a brand new man, and am
as strong as an OK. Il sleep like a |
log every night and get up mornings |
feeling fine and ready for big days
work. / haven't rheumatic pain |

about me. In fact, am as well as
any man in Georgia. l have the
biggest appetite you ever saw, and
can eat anything l want. Yesterday
for dinner I ate blackeyed peas. Be-
fore l took Puratone, such a meal
would have nearly killed me.
IF had time, would like to go
from house to house and tell every
body what this Puratone will do
Puratone is sold in Union City by
divers Drug Store, Cobb's Corner
Drug Store and Red Star Drug Store
and in Polk by j. l.. Perry, and by
one leading druggist in every town.

Governments do not hasten to recog- nize governments established by revolution whether the government likely be perma- nent In own case. during the present Arneri- can administration looked into the morality of the governments regardless of their probable permanence. We declined recognize the Huerta government six years ago because it was stained with blood We refuse to recognize the soviet government because of it's aims.
 But there is really Wrangel government for France to recognize. General wrangel has set up in Southern Russia what he calls a government one of the many fronts of the Bosheviki but one doubts seriously that the soviet government will crush him has crushed all other counter-revolu- when it finds itself leisure to deal with less important matters than engage its attention
 That there is strong opposition in France to the soviet government course. understood We know its views that, divergent from those of Britain and Italy, recently almost produced rupture which would left France standing alone And have believe that but for the oppo- sition of France. Britain would have granted recognition to the soviet.
 If France should recognize other gov France and Great Britain would result; do not mean break which would precipitate hostilities but dissolution of partnership which formed for the reconstruction of Europe Tn the nature of things they could longer work together.
