IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Wednesday morning Dr. C.
W. Hunt sent a Want Ad to
the News with instructions to
run said ad in display type.
The doctor’s Thoroughbred
Scotch Collie had been lost for
48 hours and the medical man
was in great distress. While
setting up the ad the News ed
itor decided to investigate a
certain doleful intermittent
wailing which came from the
direction of the office of Tran
sylvania’s County Physician.
When the door was unlocked
the lost dog walked out. Truly
it pays to advertise.
BOMB PARLOR FOR
AMERICANS IN PARIS
“A series of unearthly wails from
the siren that announces an air raid
and we are out of our hods and down
in tlie honih parlor in double quick
time,” writes a woman who lives at
the Hotel Pctrofirad in Paris. “Many
tim(*s I liave made the flijjht twice in
a nipht. r.ut you get used to it and
drop off to sleep again as soon as you
get the chance.
“The ‘!tom!> parlor’ is one of the
unique features of the Petrograd. It
Is not its ollicial title—a few of us
hav.e nanutHl it th.at. It is a good sized
room at the bottom of the house and
has no outside walls. Once there, we
feel as safe from harm as we ever did
in our beds. We spend the time be
tween the ‘alerte’ that turns us out of
bed and the ‘all clear’ signal that tells
us to go back, with games, reading and
visiting. I have seen Red Cross nurses
on the floor fast asleep in spite of the
awful din of the bombs and guns.
“More kinds of uniforms in all
stages of freshness and fading Pome
Into the Petrograd, which is the Amer
ican y. W. C. A. hostess house of
Paris, than any other place in France.
Soldiers and sailors meet their women
friends there; there are the Red Cross
nurses, the women of the Signal Corps,
American women stenographers, vari
ous medical orders, the Y. W. C. A.
naturally, and all the rest. It is a n.ev-
er ending, strangely shifting throng.
“Besides being unique for its ‘bomb
parlor,’ the hotel serves butter for
breakfast and has bathing facilities
for Its resident guests at all hours.
Thjese are enough to give lasting fame
to any house in France at this time.
Last winter It was known as the
‘house with warm rooms.’
The Hotel Petrograd of Paris Is one
of the three Y. W. C. A. hostess houses
In France. The others are at Bourges
and Tours. The social rooms of all
are open to any yroman or girl at any
time of day or eveping to meet her
men or women frl.ends, rest, enjoy so
cial intercourse, read or write.

PROFESSOR WOOD
MAKES STATEMENT
Georgia Educator Says he Never Saw
Anybody Improve Like Wife Has
Since Taking Tanlac.
“Tanlac is the only medicine that
ever did my wife any good,” declared
Professor W. A. Wood of the Central
graded school of Winder, Ga. “It has
restored her health and relieved us of
untold anxiety, for her case was a
most serious one.
“Her main trouble seamed to be
nervous indigestion,” he continued.
“She had suffered four years and had
lost strength and weight in spite of
he best treatment we could get. She
was extremely nervous and loss of
sleep pulled her down to a shadow.
She could digest little that she ate
and suffered from gas on the stom
ach, heartburn and nausea, and she
had headaches all the time, with per
sistent cnstipatin.
“After some hesitancy we decided
to try Tanlac, and she began to show
decided improvement with the second
bottle. She has since taken several
and the results have been simply
marvelous. She is gaining in strength
and weight every day and practically
all her troubles have left her. She
eats and enjoys anything she wants
and rests well at night. I have never
seen any sach improvement in any
person in so short a time.
Tanlac is sold in Brevard by Duck
worth Drug Co.
