Drugs Excite

Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
@When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
YOUR pharmacist about four ounces OF
lad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.

PUBLISHERS LIBERAL,
DECLARES MCCARTNEY
ADVERTISING APPRO-
PRIATION IS THE BEST
MONEY THEY SPENT.

Georgia newspaper men are more
generous to others and just to them
selves" Tohn d. Mccartney, assistant
to the president of the Central OF
Georgia Railway Company told mem
bers of the Georgia Press Association
in urging smaller newspapers to adopt
better business administration.
Mr. Mccartney is head OF the pub
licitv department of the Central OF
Georgia railway, and from his office
in Savannah come the bulletins rela-
tive to the road and the country
through which it runs which have
been published from time to time in
The News.
Il think the man who drew the
cartoons Nothing to Do Till Tomor-
row. must at some time in his life
have been a country editor" he said.
''When one individual is called upon
to serve as editor, reporter, COMPOSE
tor, makeup man, janitor, host Tor the
community, pack-horse for the local
chamber of commerce, maid OF all
work for the democratic party, and
p1av the role of George for a whole
county that chants Let George Do
It. there is small wonder that he of
ten permits flaws to creep into the
business methods of his front office.
''The man who has advertising to
sell is dealing with commodity OF
wonderful value to those who buy it,
a commodity so valuable that it de-
serves careful handling by the most
modern systematic business methods.
1T goes without saying that such
handling will make the commodity
all the more valuable both to the sell
er and buyer, Modern business is
scientific and science does not specu-
late to conclusion-science knows
Yet the publisher is perhaps the only
business man, who goes on year after
year selling something that he does
not know what it costs to produce.
Mr.. Mccartney said his railroad
officials considered "our advertising
appropriation the best money we
spend" and that they contemplate
permanent continuance of their public
relations policy.

In a very happy response Col. Geo
E. Davis, of Dublin, Ga received this

The National Nut Growers Asso-
citation also provided and presented
through its president two beautiful
gold medals commemorative OF the
occasion, one to Mr. George Melon
aid and one to the Randolph County
Advertising club. Each OF these med
ais bore the same legend that was en-
graved on the marker.
Mr. Edward Mcdonald in the abb
sence of his father, responded most
happily in the reception.
The afternoon was devoted to at
tentions bestowed upon the honored
guests of the day. Automobiles took
the guests in every direction, and
everything Of interest in the county
was seen by those in quest OF the
marvellous advantages here to be
found.
The Randolph County Advertising
club spread a splendid banquet IN the
evening at Gum & Skaters.
