OLDER BUT STR01ISER To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because hi the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength-building and blood-nourishing properties of Scott's Bmulsioa which is a food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's. Scott ft Bowne, Bloomfeld. N. . When in Asheboro Don't Forget'to call at THE EMPIRE 6AFE Where you will always re ceive a cordial welcome. First-ciasa wholesome food only. Board and room by the day, week or month, at reasonable rates. MRS. L. J. CRAVEN, : : : Prop.
