Driue for More Business at LoDer Margin of Profit
How to Economic
In Clothes
e Business at a L0lOer Margin Of Profit

You're interested in that subject, we're
sure; because everyone likes the results of
economy-the none saved. But you
may not like the sacrifices that go with
economizing." The nice thing about
clothes economy is the fact that you don't
have to sacrifice. Buy better clothes
that's all. Then you let the clothes do the
economizing. Our Atwood clothes last
longer; you buy fewer of them; spend less
money. Hart Schafner & Marx make
them-$50, SIS and 500.

SPANISH INFLUENZA

Which appeared in Spain in May,
1919, has all the appearances OF
grippe or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidem-
les as far back as history runs. Hip
procrates refers to an epidemic in
412 B. c., which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every cen
fury has had its attack. The infiu-
enza of October and November, 1889,
and that of April and May, 1890
were very general or universal In
the United States, and unusually Sc
we're. A like influenza epidemic pre-
vailed in the winters of 1926 and
1926 and last year, and now it is
back again this year.
Prevent it this year. Take Herb
O-Lax Tonic, the new root and herb
Tonic for the stomach, liver kidneys,
and blood, such as Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, bad rundown
system, etc. If your system is in
good shape, you will be more than
apt to go through this epidemic with
out having the flu. but if your sys-
tenn is in bad shape, look out.
Herb-O-Lax is sold by all modern
and progressive drug stores, and as a
special inducement to you this week,
if you will cut this ad out, present it
to your nearest druggist, he will let
you have the $3.50 bottle of Herb
O-Lax Tonic for $1.04, and will give
you a soc bottle of Herb-O-Lax
Healing Oil free of charge.

denis Drug Store, Pensacola, Fla,

WILSON SILENT ON THIRD TERM.
Will Not Declare Himself Out Of Race at
jackson Day Dinner.

Washington, Jan. 1.-President Wilson
is not expected to eliminate himself from
third-term candidacy in his letter to the
Jackson Day banqueters, a week from to-
day 1t is considered certain his communica
ton will discuss matters of interest to
the Democratic party, but 1T Is not be-
lievcd that it viii include this question.
1t is regarded as certain the President
eventually will decide not To become a
candidate to succeed himself but it is
known he does not believe the present Is q
propitious time for such an announcement
He thinks it unwise to bring forward
multiplicity of men ambitious to become
the Chief Executive. In his opinion 1T Is
preferable that the minds of senators
be not distracted from the peace treaty
and other public questions of moment
and diverted to next years national
campaign.
In the last three months the Presi-
dent has had few visitors and with none
has he taken up the advisability OF his own
candidacy Those closest to HIM believe
he is pursuing the proper course and pro-
venting agitation that ut this time would
be useless if not detrimental.
