Mileage a Certaim -
Car Owners want more rubber on the tread where the wear .
hardest ; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient utv
powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Nou
Skid tread with all angles and contacts to resist skidding and give
sure traction. Firestone Cord Tires have met these demands of
the cor owners.

Cord Tires built ti e Firestone

mileage. Every day, from all over
the country, comes the word that
10.00G, 20.000 or 30.000 miles are
frequent and consistent records.

DEFECT IN OUR SCHOOLS.
We are prone to brag about our
educational advancements, and the
improvements in our schools, but
we sometimes think our schools
have gone ahead too fast in at
least some respects. There are
too many lext books and too many
distracting activities in our schools
today.
Children in the schools a gene
ration ago did not use as many
textbooks as the children use now.
They were not laught so many
things, but what ihey did learn
they learned thoroughly. The re
sult was that when they grew up
they were well grounded in the
things ihey had been studying.
Children in school today learn
a little about many things but ihey
do not learn a great . deal about
anything. Much of their so-called
learning is superficial, and when
they get to be rorn and wnmen
they will be inefficient in whatever
they try lo do. This is bound to
be the result.
This delect in our present day
school system, which has been
growing for several years, has
now reached ihe point where a
halt is demanded. Fortunately,
the situation is being recognized by
many school auihormes, and we
may look for a change in the right
direction before very long.
IT is going to take longer io put
the pence resolution into effect than
ii look io pui the war resolution
iiiio tfTcci. And more's the pity.
THE shipyard workers who made
$20 and $30 s day during the war
are not asking for I bonus yet.
The disarmament conference
will, at any rate, enable the nations
to tell each other how hard up they
are.
Now and then they are empha
sized by unusual instances such
as quoted below. Performances
like these demonstrate the ulti
mate possibilities of Firestone
Cords under careful driving.

AS TO BALD HEADS.
The statement is going the rounds
of the press lhat some scientist has
said that baldness is caused by un
due work, bui we don't take much
stock in it. If any scientist made
such a statement he probably is
not in good sianding wiih the Sci
entists' Union.
Baldness is caused by a disease
of ihe scalp or of the blood rather
than by faiigue or strain of the
brain. Some of our heaviest think
ers have well thatched heads.
But the statement suggests this
idea: Baldheaded men should
bear in mind that a reputation for
wisdom has been thrust upon them
and they should try to live up to
il. They should be slow to speak
and when they do speak ihey
should choose their words care
fully. WASTE.
Ragpickers salvage (wo billion
dollars worth of stuff a year,
ihrown away by Americans, we
are told by ihe Waste Trade Jour
nal. The salvage includes 290,000
tons of brass and 200,000 ions of
automobile tires, inner tubes and
other junk rubber.
Fifty thousand people are kept
busy picking up what we throw
away. This is a salvage amount
ing to $40,000 each.
There is an old saying: "Eu
rope could live on what America
throws away."
We are a wasteful people, be
cause normally we are the most
prosperous in the world.
Look in the garbage can or a
round the back lot for proof of
your own wastefulness.

ARE YOU

his eternal welfare.
"Self preservation, being the
first law of nature" it seems he
would naturally seek aid from ihe
source assuring everlasting protec
tion.
Now, the question arises, why
does not the human race voluntart
ly seek salvation? it is because "be
ing born in sin it yields to the tn
Huenee of Satan, who is ever ex
erting his power to keep ii in a
worldly channel, and it is only
when it stops, and brings it's rea
soning powers into play, lhat the
path ol duty opens up before it,
then the wise will fall into tine with
Heaven's Hosts, and get the hap
piness from ihis life, and lhat to

wards the faithful.

this, the profession is merely for

a great "stumbling block" io the
world.
One not genuinely convened,
cannot live up to those high prin
ciples of religion, unknown to him.

WELDON has already
started to dress up for
the big Armistice Day
Celebration and by the
time ihe big day, FRI
DAY, NOVEMBER I1TH, has
rolled around the busy city will
teem with the holiday aimosphere
and the ex-service men will once
more come to the from and bring
to the minds of the people lhat the
good old Siars and Stripes still fly
proudly at its peak. Three years
ago November 1 1 ih victcry was
theirs. Today peace reigns and
there is someth ing to celebrate.
The American Legion men of
Halifax county ARE GOING TO
CLLEBRATE and they want every
person in the whole world to come
10 Weldon ARMISTICE DAY to
help ihem make il the biggest
day ihe county has ever known.
The celebration begins wiih a mon
strous parade which will start at
1 1 o'clock in the morning 10 be
headed by the ex-service men and
band, followed by floats depiciing
"The Discovery of America" by
the Book Club of Littleton; "Amer

CLOGGED BLOOD
WITHERS THE BODY
Workers Sick and Weak
From Exertion Take
Glide's Pepto
Mangan. Men and women who toil, either
physically or menially, use up en
ergy. When they overwork ihey
use up more energy, and some
limes ihe blood gets in a run-down
cutidiiion. Without test the biuod
cannoi get back to normal, ao lhat
it becomes clogged wiih waste
matter from over exertion.
The clogged blood virtually
withers ihe body. The strained
looks on pale faces, the thin, blood
less arms, the sunken cheeks and
necks, the dead-tired feeling, are
ihe resulis of stale blood depriving
the system of life-giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store
and get Gude's Pepto-Mangan
when ihey feel weak and run
down. They take it in either ihe
liquid or the tablet form. That
makes the Mood rich and red and
drives out the poisons. Life giv
ing oxygen, carried by ihe liifle
cells, renews the strength and
builds up the entire system. Look
for the name "Gude's Pepio-Maa-gan"

NOVEMBER 1, 2,
Mr. A. E. Akers, couniy super

1 1 th a holiday for all schools
throughout the county, lhat the
school children may attend the cel
ebration in Weldon. Congressman
Sieagal, of Alabama, will speak at
ihe Opera House immediately after
the parade, after which a turkey
and oyster dinner will be served
free to all ex-service men. At 2
o'clock a big football game will be
staged between the University of
North Carolina and A. and E, Col
lege (Freshman teams) which prom
ises to be a battle royal. At night
a big minstrel will be given at ihe
Opera House in which fifty people
will take part. The production
will be under the direction of
"Deep C." Green, a minstrel pro
ducer of many years' experience,
and will run through two hours of
real wholesome comedy, song,
dance and novelties galore.
AN EIGHT PAGE PAPER TO BE
PRINTED BY LEGION POST.
The American Legion Post of
Weldon will get out an eight page
paper in conjunction wiih ihe Ar
mistice Day celebration and will
distribute same all over Halifax
county. The sheet will contain
advertisements from merchants in
every town in the couniy and will
be one of the best adveriising me
diums. The local ex-service men
are not asking for coniributions
from any merchant or individual
but ask the co-operaiion of every
merchant in ihe couniy and guar
antee that any advertisement given
will bring real results.
Whenever you get to feeling

MAY SAL1VITE YOU
It l Mercury, Qulckt ilver. Shocks
Liver and Attack Your

Calomel salivation is horrible. It
swells (he tongue, loosens the
teeth and starts rheumatism.
There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when a few cents buys a
large bottle of Dodson's .Liver
Tone a perfect substitute for cal
omel. It is a pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liver
just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn't make you sick and can not
salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug,
besides ii may make you feel weak
sick and nauseaied tomorrow.
Don't lose a day's work. Take a
spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone
instead and you will wake up feel
ing great. No salts necessary.
Your druggist says if you don 't find
Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than treacherous calomel your
money is waiting for you.
