Pale, Anemic
Girls Need a
Blood Tonic
Pepto-Mangan Enrlehe, and Builds Up
flu Hlood.
Pallor, Headache* and Shorlnew ol'
Breath Disappear.
Pepto-Mangan Hold In Liquid and Tab
let Porm.
Why should any girl or young
woman continue to have a pale,
sallow complexion and a listlens,
rnn-down system devoid of energy
and vitality?
Such young folks are contiually
unhappy and dojected Bimply be
cause thoy accept such a condi
tion as their misfortune, and envy
their friends who are in the bloom
of health and enjoying all the
good tbiugß of life.
If such young women would
realize that their anemic condi
tion is probably due to thin, im
poverished blood, which could
easily be enriched by Gude's
Pepto-Mangan, how much happier
and attractive they wonld be.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan is a safe,
beneficial and pleasant tonic for
anyone suffering from any ail
ment caused by poor blood. If
taken regularly for a few weeks it
will enrich tbe hlood with thou
sands of the heathy red-blood ceils
that are needed to carry nourish :
ment to every part of the body.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both
liquid and taClet form. Both
contain the same medicinal ingre
dient*.
Buy Pepto-Mangan at your
druggist's. Be sure tbe name
"Gude's" is on tbe package. With
out ' Gude's" it is not Pepto
i Mangan. ,
Fifty Thousand
Bond tissue
Graham Township to Vote for |50,-
000 to Build Roads
and Bridge.
A petition signed by almost every
voter in Graham township was pre
sented to the County Commissions
Monday, asking for an election on
issuing $60,000 in bonds to build
ing roads and a bridge. The Board
granted the petition and ordered the
election to be held on the 6th day of
January, 1920.
From the funds arising from the
eiale of Ibe bonds a road will be built
north from Gr&ham to or near tbe
old Sellais mill place on Haw river
and a bridge will be built over the
river. This road will connect with
the Federal aid road coming this
way from Caswell county agreed
upon at a citizens' meeting last
spring. Whatover is left of this
fund will be used for other roads in
Graham township.
A road noith from Graham as pro
posed will tap one of the most pros
perous sections of Alamance
Extended from the Sellars mill place
it will pass through Faucette town
ship and will be of the greatest ad
vantage to the people of that town
ship. It .will-also be of great con
venience to the people of Pleasant
Grove, and will save tha people of
these two townships several miles
travel when coming to Graham. A
splendid section lies between Haw
River and Big Falls (Uopedale) and
northward from Haw river that few
people than those living there know
much about; because no^ni proved
road of it We
are sure it will rejoice those people
to be put upon and near to a high
way that will always be kept, in
passable condition, for in upkeep
this road will have the advantage i f
a number of other roads, for the rea
son that it will be removed from the
truck traffic that is so trying
on some of the other county roads.
Bazaar Saturday Night.
The ladies of the M. E. church of
Uraham will hold a bazaar at Hotel
Graham Saturday afternoon and
night. Oysters, salads, coffee, home
made cakes and candies, and ice
cream will be served. There will
