PLEA FOR FUTURE
CITIZENSHIP OF CITY,
COUNTY, STATE, COUNTRY
(Continued from page 1).
LINE OF DEFENSE has been will
ing to DIE for it! The question that
confronts us today, is will we train
our “SECOND LINE OF DE
FENSE," this coming generation, to
LIVE for it? It is a well known fact
that our boys and girls can never
reach their best mentally and spirit
ually unless they are KEPT FIT
PHYSICALLY; hence, this system
of health education which must be
begun chiefly through the schools,
but the largest results cannot be
realized unless every CHURCH, OR
GANIZATION, CLUB, and, in fact,
every individual, feels a personal ob
ligation and opportunity to keep up
this fight against disease. Shall we
give more careful and intelligent at
tention to our cattle and agricultural
products than to the boys and girls
of our country? Let us begin right
here in Newport to be true to this
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE by
protecting it from all that menaces
its physical well-being, its moral
health its mental power, its spiritual
strength!
6, glorious FIRST LINE OF DE
FENSE: our sailors in blue and our
soldiers in khaki whom we have
trusted with our priceless banner, the
STARS AND THE STRIPES! Can’t
we answer this challenge of the pres
ent crisis in the worlds of General
Pershing as he stood at the grave of
Lafayette in France and said, “La
fayette, we are here! We are here
to to all we can to help you to KEEP
its red ablaze with sacrifice, to deep
en its loyal blue, and to keep STAIN
LESS the purity of its white stars
and bars?”
K. Dove Erwin,
Chairman Junior Red Cross of Jack
son County.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
“Keep the bowels open” is one
rule of health recommended by all
schools of medicine. Foley Cathartic
Tablets cleanse the bowels, sweeten
the stomach and benefit the liver.
For indigestion, biliousness, bad
breath, bloating, gas or constipation,
no remedy is more highly recommend
ed. Fine for stout persons.—Wal
ker’s Pharmacy.
DON’T FOOL YOURSELF.
A man suffering from backache,
rheumatic pains, stiff joints or sore
muscles may laugh and say these
symptoms of kidney trouble “don’t
amount to anything.” It is folly to
ignore Nature’s warnings. Foley
Kidney Pills give quick relief in kid
ney or bladder troubles and “it is bet
ter to be safe than sorry.”—Walker’s
Pharmacy.
CUT THIS OUT —IT IS WORTH
MONEY.
Don’t Miss This. Cut out this slip,
enclose with 5c to Foley & Co., 2835
Sheffield Ave., Chicago, 111., writing
your name and address clearly. You
will receive in return a trial package
containing Foley’s Honey and Tar
Compound, for coughs, colds and
croup. Foley Kidney Pills and Fo
ley’s Cathartic Tablets.— Walker’s
Pharmacy.
Surgeons agree that In cases of
Cuts, Burns, Bruises and Wounds, the

tant. When an EFFICIENT anti
septic is applied promptly, there is

man or beast. BOROZONE is the

Aids To Nature
The competent physican, when treating
the sick, relies for a cure on two great
agencies—nature and medicine.
Nature, unaided, will sometimes work
a cure. But nature frequently is unequal
to the task and must have assistance.
Then arises the imperative need for
PURE DRUGS
These you will find at this store to meet
every demand. Bring your prescriptions y
