ing all parts of the body. To any
one suffering with dependency, ner-
vousness, loss of appetite, loss in
weight, dizziness, sleeplessness, con-
stipation, bad taste in mouth, head
aches, heartburn, heart-palpitation,
fatulency, etc, Meritone brings
quick relief.
Merritone is the result of long
years of study by eminent physicians,
in search of prescription that could
be relied upon for perfecting diges-
ton, toning up the stomach and Civ
ing the body its proper nourishment.

Have You Lost
Your Health 4?

Have you been so busy that you

the most delicately adjusted ma
chine in the world-until some
weak part has broken down and you
are afraid?
No one knows how long the body
should live-if it has intelligent
care, but we do know that without
q sufficient supply of vitalizing,
life-giving oxygen 1t wastes away,
and dies-just as plant droops and
dies for lack of water.
Disease is merely the lack Of
some constituent element of the
blood that is necessary to main
tain life. Oxygen is the life-giver,
the blood-builder-the germ-de-
stroyer. But pumping oxygen .nto
the lungs is not enough. The bl0od
must assimilate it. Iron attracts
oxygen Just as the magnet ATTRACTS
steei-therefore if your blood is
abundantly supplied with organic
iron it attracts the oxygen from the
cir in the lungs and the blood is
vitalized with life-giving oxygen.
REOLO supplies the blood with

in Georgia as this states share in
the cost of a gigantic statue on the
banks of the Marne, which shall be
Americas gift to France, repaying
the gift of the Statue of Liberty of
that country many years ago. Here
is Prof. Mathis own statement of
the movement:
To the People of the Third Con-
gressional District:
There's a little wooden cross at
the further end of the Marne bridge
at Meaux. The old village carpenter
set it there by the roadside where
the pOppies grew six years ago next
September.
God, the simple peasants tale is,
marked the place with his finger and
smiled.
The German drive on Paris was
to end there.
Remember the scare headlines in
your newspaper in big black type
Germans March on Paris" "Liege
in Ruins" ''Louvain in Ashes" son,
On, On Forty Miles, Thirty Miles,
Now Twenty Miles, Now Fifteen,
Paris Little. Way Ahead"
The Gray-Green Thing in the very
heart of France confident, laughing,
with song. 1t comes to
the River Marne-there where the
cross is now, and stops. And in all
the years of the war no German boot
advanced a single stride beyond.
1t is proposed by America to build
a colossal statue on that site in COM
of the victory the French
won there. The distinguished Amer
ican sculptor, Frederic MacMonnies,
is now working on sketches for a
statue of size worthy of the event
which it is to commemorate and
which will cost $25O,0OO, of which
amount Georgia's quota is only ST.
600. This statue will be Americas
Gift to France"
There is ample precedent for such
a gift in our own Statue of Liberty
which was presented to US by the
people of France and is now aglow
with the light of that liberty which
France helped us to win over hun
dred years ago and protected for US,
at the Battle of the Marne.
In order that the state may be in
truth "Americas Gift to France"
the funds must come from all parts
Of the country, from people in every
walk of life.
A memorial book containing the
names of all subscribers will be pre-
sented to the French Republic and
placed in a museum at the base Of the
statue in token of the friendship of
,he two republics.
The cooperation of the American
Legion, the D. A. R., the U. D. c.,
Patriotic societies and all other or
CARNATIONS intoxicating civic pride
with the schools throughout the dis
5rict is earnestly requested, in Sc
curing the small amount asked, ST.
200. 1t is more expressive of the
spirit of the gift to have small con-
,ributions from all the people than
arge donations from few.
In every county contributions may
be sent to the county chairman or
direct to the district chairman to be
added to the county contributions as
they are received so that every in
1ividual as well as every county shall
have the proper credit.
This contribution is to be made in
the five days between March 22-27
all over the United States and then
forwarded Immediately to headquar-
5ers.
The time is short, although the
amount required is small, therefore
we must act quickly.
