LADY'S STOMACH WAS
LIKE A GAS FACTORY;
MEALS TURNED TO GAS
One lady said recently that her
stomach used to be like a "gas
factory!” That is, when she ate a
meal it ^emed to turn right into
gas. She was always bolated, had
awful stomach gas pains, daily
headaches and constant irregular
bowel action. _ Now, however, this
lady says she*is FREE of STOM
ACH GAS and she says the change
is due to taking JNNER-AID. Her
meals agree with her. No gas or
bloat after eating. Headaches and
constipation are gone. "Oh! what
relief!” states this lady. "Why
don’t other gas and constipation
sufferers get INNER-AID.
INNER-AID contains 12 Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo
ple soon feel different all over. So
don’t go on suffering! Get IN
NER-AID. Sold by All Drugstores
here in Shelby.

further sale of “fat. back hog ra
tio^" in North Carolina has been
forbidden under an order of the
i state agriculture department.
The “stop sale” order was is
sued, Contrane said, “because this
brand of feed has been found to
be flagrantly mislabeled as to the
ingredients employed in its man
: ufaeture.” The order applies to
| all lots of the feed now on sale
! in the state.
Coltrane said the “fat back”
brand, manufactured by the South
ern Milling company of Augusta.

the popular hog feeds sold in eas

Office Closed
During Holidays
W. W. Wright in charge of the
drivers’ license examining office at
the courthouse announced today
that the office will be closed until
December 27 for Christmas holi
days.
PLAN
Starts On Page One
The commissioners feel they are
forced to do something. County
health department, county welfare
department and the office of the
board of education are now occu
pying rented space outside the
courthouse and, if the new addi
tion is built, could be brought to
the central location.
It is also pointed out that at
the last several terms of court,
the Cleveland grand jury has been
insisting that something be done
by the commissioners to provide
adequate toilet faciltiies for the
public at the courthouse. It is
not feasible to put these toilets
above ground, and to put them
below ground would cost in the
neighborhood of $40,000, the ar
chitect estimates. They could be
put in the new part of the new
building, if it is erected, with lit
tle trouble.
CROWDED
In addition to these two factors,
it is also pointed out by Mr. Ed
wards that the present offices in
the courthouse are considerably
crowded and there is no vault to
take care of important records.
Old tax books have to be taken
into the attic year after year to
make room for the new ones, and
are therefore not available to the
public. The office of register of i
deeds is badly crowded with no;
loom to put enough book shalves.
Commissioners, proir to investi
gating the proposition of adding
wings to the courthouse, looked
into the project of building a sep
arate building on another lot. It
was found that land for such a
project would cost from $15,000 to
$30,000 depending upon location.
LOW INTEREST
Commissioners also point to the
low interest rate at which money
can now be obtained. Cleveland
has just sold some district school;
bonds at an average rate of 1.4
percent. Officials believe that coun- j
ty bonds would not require an in-;
terest rate of more than 1.25 per- j
cent. They say that the rAnev
now expended for rent would j
easily take care of the interest on;
the bonds with some to spare.
As it appears now, county com-j
missioners feel the sensible thing j
to do is to enlarge the courthouse.
