THEY NEED PEPTO-MANGAN
Red-Blooded, Healthy-Looking
Folks Get Along Well Be-
cause They Feel Good.

There is a thrill in glowing good
health. You see it in the enthusiasm
and good cheer of congenial people.
Fatigue, bad color, dull eyes and list
less feelings do not attract other
people. You are not congenial when
you are run down.
Nearly everybody gets out of sorts
occasionally. They are positively
unhappy for weeks and constantly
tired and gloomy. Perhaps you are
that way and can see no reason why.
But there is reason. More than
likely it is because of bad blood.
Temporarily your blood needs help.
Pepto-Mangan is a well known and
very successful remedy for poor
blood. 1t supplies what your blood
needs. You pick up and become your
old self again; your blood works as
it should, keeping you fresh and
alert, congenial and happy and
strong.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both IL
quid and tablet form. Both contain
the same medicinal ingredients. One
is as effective as the other.

MOONSHINERS
FORM LEAGUE.
North Georgia Dew Bows
Organized For
Protection

ROME, Jan. 26. - The North
Georgia Moonshiners' Welfare
League.
And the title takea by ta2 organ
ization means exactly what the title
says.
Recently + was discovered that
Kentucky II ynshiners had a regular
organization by means of which the
sellers and makers Of whisky, since
the passage of the Volstead act, pro
tect each other - give each other
warning when raids are contemplate
ed, if learned, assist members con
victed in the courts in paying their
fines or if sent to Jail look after
their families and in many other
ways help each other in a real fra
ternal way.
Well, North Georgia is following
suit, as has just been discovered, or
is said to have been discovered, by
a Walker county farmer, who was
asked to join the League" under
the impression that he, too, was en-
gagged in the moonshine liquor trade.
The organization has reached Floyd
county, also, it is asserted, and local
moonshine whisky sellers who trav-
ell in nice autos late at night or in
the early morning hours before sun.
up are fast joining the League"
Some of them are said to be seen
on the streets well dressed, having
plenty Of money, and ready at any
time to help less fortunate partici-
pators in the fruits Of lawless whis-
ky traffic.
Il is not stated whether the color
line has been drawn in the League
whether the dusBy dealers in dcvl
dew may also be- admitted to th(
privileges Of the organization but
this may develop later.
One of the purposes of this
'League" is said to be an organized
method Of "stabilizing" the price o.
whisky, so there will be no under
selling between members - no Gu
prices nor yet any exorbitant prices

SCHOOL CHILDRN
help ARMENIANS
Forty Dollars Given BY
Furlow Grammar
Pupils

The children of Furlow Grammar
school have responded splendidly to
the call for aid for the starving Ar
menian children in the Near East.
Mrs. Lillian Sharpe made an APP
peal to the children of the school in
which she set forth the need OF the
thousands of little children in Ar
menia who have no food and clothes,
and who will die but for the aid rem
dered by the United States. After
her talk, the children promised to
raise some money among themselves,
and at the end of the week $40 had
been donated by them. This was Sc
cured only after a two-day canvass
of the school.
Mrs. Sharpe told the children that
if they would agree to contribute
the money, that II cents would feed
a hungry child for day. She also
asked them to adopt an Armenian
orphan to support during this year,
but this was found impracticable,
since the Furlow Grammar school
children are at present contributing
S120 a year to the support Of Ser
bian orphan which the school
adopted last year.
The children are not yet through
with their plans for further contri,
buttons, but are working this week
to augment the amount already con
tributed, and it is hoped that by
Friday of this week the donation vii
have reached 500.

so many applicants for insurance are re-
