Why These Vitamins and
Minerals Come In LIQUID Form
There's a very good reason why
HADACOL comes in special liquid
form. These precious Vitam.as and
Minerals are more easily and quick
ly absorbed into the blood stream
this way ready to go right to
work. A big improvement is often
noticed within few days.
Don't Be A Doubling Thomas
After reading Mrs. Adele's won
derful experience with HADACOL
- how can you doubt that this
great new nutritional formula will
help YOU II your system lacks Vita
minis B., b, Iron, and Niacin?
What HADACOL did for Mrs.
Adele, it can do for you II you're
troubled with aches and pains in
the shoulders, legs, and arms, GER
tain nervous disturbances, insom-
MIA when due to an upset stomach,
stomach distress and general rum
down weakened condition due to
such deficiencies.
So what are you waiting for?
Don't you see that HADACOL is
the kind of product you need - the
kind you should buy and the kind
you should start taking immedi-
ately!
Sold On A Strict Money Back

HADACOL even helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your
blood (when Iron is needed) to
course through your body, carry
ing these great health h-building ele-
ments to every body organ. No
wonder HADACOL helps you feel
wonderful.
Be fair to yourself! Give your
self break if you have such defi-
ciencies! Why continue to drag
yourself around--a burden to your
self and your family--when relief
may be as close at hand as your
nearest drugstore if you suffer
deficiency of Vitamins B., Bs, Mia

COUNTY PRISONER COMPLAINS
OF FL0GCING FOLLOWING BOUT
OVER POSSESSION OF KNIFE

Thomas Clinton Skipper, of
Tabor City, who is being held in
in the Columbus county Jail on
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill, this
week charged that Jailer Rozier
Williams and his two sons beat
him with the Jail keys last Thurs
day. His mother stated that her
pleas for doctor to administer
to him following the beating were
refused.
Shippers mother, Mrs. Clinton
Skipper, presented the following
signed statement last week:
"Rozier Williams and his two
sons and also a negro turn key
went in the cell and beat up
Thomas C. Skipper over the head
with the Jail keys and stated
after his head was hurting that
if he didn't hush, they would go
back and beat him more. This
happened in the presence of two
cell mates, Marvin Allen and
other prisoner whoe name is
Withheld. Signed: Thomas C..
Skipper.
Mrs. Skipper stated that the
beating came about when young
Skipper was found to have a
knife in his possession. He re-
fused to give the knife up and
the jailer and his two sons, Ly-
mon and McAdoo, and a prisoner,
V. c. Bellamy, took the knife
by force. Mrs. Skipper stated
that it was at this time that
Thomas Skipper was beaten over
the head with the Jail keys.
Mrs. Skipper said that the
knife was brought in to the Jai.
by a little girl and given to her
son. The name of this person
who delivered the knife could
not be learned.
Mrs. Rozier Williams and her
daughter Mrs. E. A. Britt, speak
ing for the jailer, Rozier williams,
in his absence, said that Skipper
had the knife in his possession
a breach of Jail rules, and when
asked to give it up, not only
refused but said There's not
enough men in Whiteville to take
it away from me-" The spokes.
men said the jailer, his sons and
Bellamy then took the knife by
force and that during the scuftle
Skipper was hit with the keys,
They also emphasized that the
blow was not hard and that only
a minor scalp wound resulted.
Mrs. Britt said that as soon as
Skipper would allow it, she per-
sonally dressed his head. Mrs
Britt followed this line of work
for four years. She also said that
Skipper refused to let anyone do
anything for his cut scalp until
he had seen his lawyer and for
that reason he went several hours
after the fracas before the wound
was dressed.

in the Pacific.

in the Pacific.
Now Amber, the plane, acted
just like Amber, the heroine. She
was fillful, spiteful and here 18th
Air Force crew was always fear
full of Amber's whims.
After many missions, Amber
became a little battle weary, not
quite so saucy, but still a little
defiant. Then one day Jap anti
aircraft took a good sized chunk
out of Amber's right wing. She
wobbled along crafty, losing al,
titude fast and the pilot headed
for the open sea off the Southern
Philippines. The damaged engine
caught fire and, one by one, the
crewmen dropped out the escape
hatch and parachuted into the
Pacific. Capt. Mac" Mcconnell
who, as Amber's pilot, under
stood the old girl better than the
other crew members, knew she
was much too proud to die before
mere men. So he set the auto
matte pilot before he jumped.
To her crewmen, who were
strung out beneath her in the
ocean, Amber mustered strength
10 dip her wings in a sloppy
manner, and set a straight course
for the open sea, her engine and
wing section flaming in the
breeze.
Undoubtedly Amber is beneath
fathoms of water now. But, true
to kor spirit, until the last she
never let it be known that men
were her masters.
To her crewmen, who were lat
or pluclled out of the water, goes
credit for reciting the strange
adventures of Forever Amber.

Demand for dry wall construction be.
gan as an economy measure, but now,
with the coming of improved panels, the
public sees the many other advantages.
Take, for example, one of the newest
products recently introduced by long.
established maker Of hardboafds. 1t is
Masonite quarter-inch panelwood, a
sturdy, rigid, tough material made Of
exploded wood fbers.
Ideal for new construction or remodel
ing, panelwood can be applied directly
over studding or Turing strips, it will
take and hold any applied finish, it is
resistant to dents, scuffs and mars, it is
grainless and smooth, and it won't crum.
bic, crack, split or splinter. No wonder
the American public favors dry wall con.
struction! Theso hardboards are light in
weight, easy to apply and long lasting.
They are easily worked with ordinary
carpenter tools. Panelwood, in addition.
is moisture.resistant. -------4.

Advantages of Dry Walls

A SURVEY made of 626 housebuilders
"A by Architectural Forum recently
disclosed that dry wall construction was
found second in importance in the list
Of techniques and materials used to re-
duce costs. First was close supervision,
and tied for third were the use Of power
tools and precutting of lumber.
Builders participating in the survey
had the opinion that by their cost-prun-
ing techniques they can hold down the
sales prices of the homes despite rising
costs Of land, material and labor.
Dry wall construction has number of
advantages, builders point out. 1t is eco
nomical as material and as saver of
labor costs. Homes are more quiet and
there is no prolonged drying out" Pc
