TIME IT TAKES TOMAKf OLD FRIENDS tT jUb We like to make new friends. It is pleasant - to watch this bank grow, as new names a«e^ added to the old names oo our books. But old friends occupy a spcdal place in our affecdoos. It takes timt to nuke rfd friends, and they become for us the coostant living reminders the jfwn back us in our service to this cioinmMlty. ^ Mechanics & Farmers Bonk DURHAM AND RALSlOH, N. C. I see by the WALL STREET JOURNAL (which I I'ound lui- (h-r the Koit on a l^ong Island Railway traiji) that some jokers up in ('anada iirc living to start a iinioii for the uncii.ployed of the country. 1 didn't read any more than the headlini', so I don't know the details, but I can imagine. Presumably this union \v(nild see that the members y;et short er hours, more pay, better loaf- iiij' conditions, and Spring fev er lu'alth beiK'fits. And it’s about time. No mori* will a gent ne ex(>ect- ed to pound the pavements in the tiring search for employ ment from early morning luitil late at night, lie will he on a six hour day, five days a week, time juid a half for overtime. I can see it now. First we'll strike for padded benches in the park so that we weary nights of the unemployed can nap in comfort between tussles with potential employers. A staff of secretaries will be set up iti the union head(}uarters to examine the refresnces of po.ssible employ ers, screen out the undesirable element, and contact us immc'di- ately after our naps in case any bank presidency jobs turn uj). The salary’ (piestion is one which will have to come up at once. How can a man be expected to toil over the help wanted ads and not b? paid for his labors? We shall have to contact some one at once i)ossibly the president to .see that this de plorable condition is stopped. I think a wage of about $75 per week is adequate for not work ing. Jt might be a good idea, too. tainers. Make ’em like it and And what’s more they’ll bring they’ll come back is my motto.

For gentlemen, for instance, since they are unemployed they can be considered to be men of leisure and so could wear strip ed pants, spats, and cutaways. This would assure them the re spect they deserve as members of the largest minority factions in the land. That Spring fever health in- suraiu'e is an obvious one, too. We poor creatures who are al lergic to labor in that most de vastating of all seasons. Spring, would receive additional money benefits for st'veral weeks in wliich we are incapacitated. Oricvious punishment would be meted out to policemen who di.s- tiirbed our convalescing naps on the fresh green grass of the park, for any fool knows that it is liable to result in a heart at tack if a Spring fever sufferer is tlisturbed at his nap. The union recreation center will be equippt'd with wine, wo men and soug, for the unemploy ed must not be allowed to dwell upon their unfortunate condi tion lest tliey become psycho- sematic. l^■nlly, though, all of this is mere fiddle faddle as compared >vith the most imi>ortaht prob- AUTOS NEW AND USED Are you getting ready to buy a NEW or USED CAR?

Cora Puch NADAOOL IS 800D FOR AU MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY ..: Taking HADACOL g«ta to b« ■ mighty good family custom af ter one member has seen th« marveloua relief HADACOL haa brought to a relative. For instance, the ease of Cora andCurley* Pugh of 134a Murphy Street, S hrevaport, Louisiana. Mis« Pugh felt tired all the time, had gastric dis turbances. She suffered from indigast ion, heartburns, gai pauis and sh4 could not tat the kind and type of food sha wanted without being in misery afterwards. She felt like her stomach was bloated and suffered from severe headaches; was ner* vous and at night she could hard ly sleep. Her condition became so se vere that she just couldn't work. She had tried numerous prepara tions hoping for relief that mdn't come. Ilien she heard the blessed news about HADACOL. After several botUe she felt like a new person and decided again that life was worth Uviiuf. She explained that HADACOL had given her energy, relieved her of stomach disturbances, makes it possible for her to sleep at night and she is no longer troubled with head aches. Her brother, Curley Pugh, also had suf fered from gas- t r i c disturb ances, bloating stomach, in ability to sleep and was run down, having lost consider able weight. After his sixth bottle of HAD- Curley Pnfh ACOL he felt like a new man and now takes HADACOL to stay well. The lack of only a small amount of Vitamins and Minerals in your body may cause certain bodily disorders which can be come more serious and cause much suffering. There Is no known treatment—no me^dne that will bring you positive re lief from the aiunent caused by the lack of these Vitamins and Minerals except the needed Vita mins and Minei'als themselves. Cora and Curley Pugh are just two of the countless thousands who found relief through HAD ACOL. Medicines and treatments didn’t help them. What they needed were the Vitamins and Minerals such as are in HAD ACOL. In fact, many persons who suffered and waited and hoped for 10 to 20 years or even longer, are now able to live happy, comfortable lives because 'of HADACOL. This is because HADACOL relieves the source of the deficiency disease. Be fair to yourself. Temporary relief is not enough, so try HADACOL to day. Get a bottle from your drug store. Sold on a positive money-back ^arantee. You have to be satis fied or your money will be cheer fully refunded, ^ial size only 11.29—but save money, buy the large family econdmy size—$3.50.
