Institute Gives
Aid To City And
County Officials
The officials of this and neigh
boring counties and towns, it was
learned at the court house and
city hall today, have recently re
ceived several invaluable aids to
them in their work from the Insti
tute of Government as part of
their membership in this organiz
ation of officials.
Among the most recent releases
were a 1943 Calendar of Officials’
Duties, a 1943 Calendar of Sche
dule B License Taxes, a 30,000
word summary of the new laws
passed by the 1943 General Assem
bly, and a chart and explanation
of the new Federal withholding
tax, which just went into effect
July 1.
The calendar outlines the prin
cipal duties required by statute
to be performed on definite dates,
according to Albert Coates, who isg^
director of the organization. It.**
does not include certain duties
where the exact time for perform
ance is not specified by statute.
Among the county officials whose
duties are covered are the com-^
missioners, sheriff, tax collector,^
accountant, clerk of court, register
of deeds, A. B. C. Board, Board of
Education, tax supervisor, list
takers and assessors, Welfare
Board, election boards and regist-^—
rars, school officials, and regist
rars of vital statistics.
The name “Limey" for the Bri
tish came from the fact that sail
ors carried limes with them on^
long voyages to prevent scurvy..

ABLE TO HAKE BIG CROP
HE THANKS RETONGA
Could Hardly Feed His
Stock And Was Worried
Half Sick, States Well
Known Randleman Citizen.
Can Plow All Day Now.
Literally thousands of well
known farmers and their wives
have gratefully and strongly en
dorsed Retonga for relieving them
from debilitating symptoms due to
insufficient flow of digestive juices
in the stomach, the toxic wastes of
constipation, and need of Vitamin
B-l for digestion, nerves, and
strength. For instance, Mr. Henry
G. Dodson, well known farm own
er of Route 1, Randleman, N. C.
gratefully declares:
“I suffered so much distress
from nervous indigestion and gas
in my stomach that I didn’t care
whether I ate or not for my food
just caused trouble. I felt so un
dernourished and weak I could
hardly make it to the barn to
feed my stock and I was worried
half sick for fear I couldn’t get
in my crop. I had to take strong
purgatives, and when I sat down
MR. HENRY G. DODSON
I felt like I just couldn’t pull
myself out of my chair again.
“Retonga was a godsend to me.
Almost before I realized it I be
gan to eat again, and everything
seemed to agree with me and give
me strength. I can plow all day
now and I have a good crop of
tobacco and corn. I feel better
than in a long time, and I give
Retonga full credit.”
Such grateful evidence speaks
for itself. Retonga may be ob
tained at Rosemary Drug Co—The
