Of Constructive work than Il

we will do in the future.
Do you remember that II
was only a few days ago
that we were dismissing the
widening suggestion as on
lnposslbility? Do you re-
member that some one hoot-
ed at the word impossible and
said that the narrow street
was impossible: the wdened
street was but common serseS
We feel encouraged more
by the action Of City Coun-
Gil in this matter th1n We
have by anything for many
a day. There IS ability IN
this City Council that will Be

expressed 10 the effect THAT
probably Wilmington has
not increased in population
as fast as some of Us hoped.
Do not bother yourself about
such. What We are COO

Fool as Far as His Stomach

MACON PEOPLE FLOCK TO
POMEROY
His Theory That the Stomach l.
The Cause of Ninety Per Cent
Of All iii Health Is Being Veri-
fed Every Day

John Pomeroy, the remarkable
New Zealander, who is now visiting
Macon and attracting so much at
tention by his novel theories, thinks
that civilized man lacks common
sense. Pomeroy claims that most
i'll health is due to stomach disor-
ders caused by improper living and
eating. When seen at his Macon
headquarters, he said:
while modern conditions have q
heap to do with people being sickly-
looking, tired, thin and pale all the
time, lack of using common sense
can be blamed equally as much.
at is impossible always to lead
the active outdoor life nature de-
mands. 1t is impossible for many tc
exercise the body sufficiently to make
the gastric juices wholly active anG
virile. 1t is impossible to spend as
much time as we should in the fresh
air and sunshine. 1t is also impossi
BILE for us to get absolutely fresh
vegetable food all The time, and this
more than anything else, is the cause
of so many under-nourished and yell
lowish, sickly-looking people. But il
is possible to treat the stomach, al
ready weakened by these mistakes
with at least little consideration.
"If people thought half as much
of their stomachs as they do THEN
pocketbooks, there wouldn't be 50
much sickness here.
eff we would sit down quietly to
a plain, common sense meal, eat
slowly, and chew every mouthful
thoroughly, and then give it time to
digest and be assimilated into the
blood to nourish the system, there

DECLARES CIVILIZED MAN
LACKS COMMON sense

wouldn't be so many complaining,
droopy, listless and fretful men and
women. But we don't; we are a ma
ton of boilers. We bolt our food
and expect our stomachs to do the
work our teeth were intended for.
In consequence, we are becoming a
nation of chronic dyspeptics and
rheumatics.
"Our forefathers gave US two
things-frst, a glorious land with
unlimited resources and opportuni-
ties; second, sound constitution
with good, healthy digestive organs.
We fought to keep the first intact
and free, but we're letting the sec
ond go to ruin.
"The amount of half-chewed, hast
lily eaten food the average person
stuffs into himself during the day is
positively wicked. Then, when he
feels dull and nervous he wonders
what's the matter and imagines he
has heart trouble, or insomnia, or
goodness knows what There is just
one thing the matter with him. He
has abused the one organ of his body
which is most essential to good
health-the stomach-and until the
gastric juices in his stomach perform
their functions as they should, all the
doctors and medicine in the world
will not make him we'll and robust.
"The other day man we'll known
over this section came to me and said:
From what friend tells me about
your medicine, Puratone, think it
will help me. At least I am willing
to give it trial. But, supposing it
does get my stomach in shape, how
long will it last?' I simply said: IF
you begin taking Puratone right now,
at the end of few days your food
should be digesting perfectly once
more. But if you continue to act
a fool, so far as what you eat and
the way you eat it is concerned, you
will be right back where you are now
inside of six months
"What l said to this man can be
applied to thousands just like him
all over the country"
Puratone is sold in Americas by
Carswell Drug Co. and by one leading
druggist in every town.-(adv)

be held for the conservation of the
work that has been done This also
will be simultaneous all over the
South and North in every Methodist
church

What are you going to do with
your straw hat this fall? That
might be a pertinent question ad-
dressed to every man in Washington,
for nearly everyone has one of the
flimsy toppers.
A new crop shows up every sum-
ner in the hat stores and one might
be inclined to ask where the old
ones vanish to. A man who was re-
clining in an auto yesterday COM
mented as follows:
I'll bet I've got Is straw hats in
the attic at home. They're just like
automobiles new model comes
out every year They never look
the same when they're cleaned, but
whether that's ones imagination or
not l don't know"
Another man just grinned and
when asked what he did with his
straw when it was time for 1t to
hibernate, said, Put it into cold
storage until next summer"
over at the Shoreham, the clerk
said that every year along about
the fatal time when a brick is care
