"OH, LET'S

Take Pepto-Mangan,

"Let's Go," instead of
"Let's Don't"
| When normally healthy, ambitious
people begin to lack energy and tire
I easily—when they are quickly dis
couraged and low in vitality, It usually

Such people are called anemic, or

you build up the health and spirits.
Pepto-Mangan is a pleasant-tasting red
blood builder and it contains exactly
the elements which poor, pale blood
needs to become rich, red blood.
Red blood means rosy cheeks, bright
eyes, a clear brain, a firm step. Pepto-

changes the "let's don't" attitude to a
"let's go" attitude. Recommended by
physicians for thirty years and sold all

Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid
and tablet form. Both contain the
same medicinal ingredients.
Buy Pepto-Mangan at your drug

on the package. Without "Gude's" it is
not Pepto-Mangan.—Advertisement.

Card of Thanks
An expression of thanks from Rev.
and Mrs. C. C. Tatherow to the people
of Forest City, the Forest City charge
and surrounding country for their kind
and very thoughtful consideration of us
during our siege of sickness. We cer
tainly appreciate more than language
can express every attention, act of kind
ness and assistance rendered us. Surely,
"The lines have fallen to us in pleasant
places." The frequent visits of the
ministers of Forest City contributed no
small part during these days of testing.
God bless and make them a source of
blessing to every shut-in.
Well then here is our neighbors.
They performed well their part in as
sisting in every way. No sacrifice or
act of self denial was too great for
them to make if only by so doing, they
could bring any relief or comfort. The
Lord richly reward them and give every
body just such neighbors.
Other items worthy of mention were
the poundings and contributions. First
came the people of Salem church with
a generous pounding consisting of a
variety of good things which made our
hearts glad.
Who next should surprise us, but a
delegation from Sandy Mush (A com
munity not in the bounds of our work,
but a people we served in former years)
with their pounding of good things to
eat and money contributions.
Last, but not least, a very pleasant
surprise from the people of Forest City
consisting of bread and cash.
In addition to the above came other
cash contributions for which we feel
profoundly grateful and pray God's
richest blessings upon every one.

D. W. Griffith's Scarlet Days.
The name of David Wark Griffith
is recognized as one of the biggest
drawing cards in the motion picture
world. He was among the pioneers
in producing the modern big-pcale,
artistic photoplay. His first mag
nificent effort, "The Birth of a Na
tion," took the countrv by storm
and did much to open the eyes of
the public to the immense possibili
ties of the screen, which was in
those days regarded by many as a
mere plaything. The Griffith pic
tures that have followed have shown
the further development of his un
canny genius and have been tremen
dous box-office successes. In ''Scar
let Days" he has portrayed a glow
ing, thrilling story of the romantic
California of the gold rush days of
'49, Produced by the master hand
of D. VV Griffith, this is a picture
that is 100 per cent entertainment.
Go after it for nothing short of a
clean-up.
CJudrti- the magic hand of D, W.
Griffith how many dead civilizations
have returned to life? He
has restored Babylon and Pales
tine; in "The Birth of a Nation" he
made live again the days of the Civil
War, and in "Hearts of the World"
he brought the battlefields of Europe
to our doors.
And now he has revived what is
undoubtedly the most picturesque
and strangely fascinating period of
American history —the days of '49,
Days when life was at its fullest,
days of adventure and romance,
days of robust gallantry—scarlet
days.
That's the title of this new Grif
fith production —"Scarlet Days."
It is not a wild west story —it is a
story unlike anything ever done.
What Griffith presents on bis color
ful background is human life.
Wherever life is intense and vivid,,
be it in the living present or in a
forgotten age, Griffith finds his
material.
You will love the characters of
the story —Alvarez, the gallant ban
dit; Randolph, the heroic aristocrat;
Chiquita, the bandit's sweetheart;
Rosy Nell, and all the others whose
lives become real in Griffith's hands.
The picture is a Paramount-Art
craft, enacted by a typical Griffith
cast—Richard Barthelmess, Clarine
Seymour, Carol Dempster, George
Fawcett, Adolph Lestina, Walter
Long —you know them all from for
mer Griffith pictures.
We are showing ''Scarlet Days"
on Saturday. VYe consider it one of
the big events of the jear. When
you see it you will feel that way
about it, too.
"Scarlet Days" Superb
Picture Of Old West
It is the rude West of the gold
rush days of 49 that David Wark
Griffith has portrayed on the screen
in "Scarlet Days." his new produc
tion, at the Horn Theatre. He has
chosen an o d mining town in Cali
fornia as his locale and against this
historical background woven a story
of love and violence in his usual
dashing dtvle. The central figure
is a romantic Mexican bandit named
Alvarez, a sort of Robin Hood of the
San Joaquin Valley, who is a terror
to the sheriffs and, stage coach
drivers, but mild mannered to the
poor and innocent. * The role is
played by Richard Barthelmess
with the same sympathetic under
standing which he showed in his
portrayal of thetender-hearted China
mac in "Broker: Blossoms."
Scarcely less interesting than the
chivalrous Alvarez, is Rosy Nell,
the "scarlet woman" of toe mining
town's dance hall, whcse character
Mr. Griffith has redeemed by pic
turing her the devoted mother of a
beautiful and innocent girl, whom
she is having educated in a fashion
abl(e seminary in the East, innocent
Friday, April 30th
Saturday, May Ist
of the shameful life her mother leads.
It is a Bret Harte story of violence
and thrills that Mr. Griffith has
picturized against this interesting
background. Rosy Nell has been
pinching and saving for years in
order some day to abandon her
"scarlet life" and rejoin her daugh
ter in tne East. Just as she sees
her dreams about to come true, she
discovers another denizen of the
hall attempting to rob her. A fight
ensues and the thief falls dead from
heart failure, but Rosy Nell thinks
she has killed her. Sodoes Bagley,
the bully-proprietor of the dance
hall, and his gang of ruffians is
about to lynch the supposed slayer
when Alvarez appears and, soft
voiced, persuades them to grant her
temporary freedom to spend a few
precious days with her daughter,
who has just arrived from the East.
All are pledged not to reveal
Rosy Nell's real life to the innocent
girl. Bagley attempts to break the
pledge, coveting the beautiful girl,
and attacks the cabin where Rosy
Nell and she are staying. Alverez,
Randolph, a young Virginian, and
one or two others defend th 3 women
against Bagley's gang Randolph
attempts to sacrifice himself for the
girl, whom he has fallen in leve
with, but it is Alvarez, who succeeds
in attracting the sheriff to the res
cue by offering to give himself up
for all the crimes for which he has
been sought many years by the law.
Thus, though the faithful Rosy Nell
falls with abullet through her heart.
Randolph and the girl face a happy
future together. Alvarez, through
the intervention of Chiquita. his
prettv Mexican sweetheart, and his
native cleverness, escapes from the
Sheriff.
Any resume of this plot is quite
inadequate to indicate tht rich color
with which Mr. Griffith has flavor
ed this simply told but really grip
ping story of the California of ro
mance. ''Broken Blossoms" is a
plain, unadorned tale when written
in black and white; /Scarlet Days"
is another. The element of drarrat c
coutrist is used with characteristic
Griffith adroitness in the latter.
The cultured, innocent daughter
and the orude, scarlet-seared moth
er, the desperado and the cnltivated
gentlemen from Virginia packed to
gether in a little but defending the
girl from the mob offered a man like
D. W. Griffith opportunities of
which he has takeu pleasing advan
tage.
Ralph Graves, the clever leading
man of the Dorothy Gish pictures;
Clarine Seymour, Carol Dempster,
Eugenie Bresserer. Walter Long,
and that veteran character man of
screen. George Fawce*t, are the
high spots in the cast, along with
Richard Barthelmess of course.
"Scarlet Days" is a chance to for
get most completely strikes, the H.
C. of L., and other modern annoy
ances and transfer yourself easily
into the red-blooded California of
'49. It is a Pararnount-A rtcraft pic
ture and well worth seeing.

OF THE
FARMERS BANK & TRUST CO
Conducted By C C. ProffiU
Brood sows get lame because they
don't receive the proper feed, and the
best treatment for a lame sow is to be
gin to feed her what her body requires..
A Rutherford county farmer was re
cently asked why he failed to raise hogs
enough to supply his family with meat,
and this was his answer; "I bought a
pure bred sow pig two years ago in
tending to keep her and raise pigs for
my own use and some to sell, but just
after the first pigs were born the sow
went lame on me and almost died. The
pigs didn't do very well, so I made
meat of the sow and decided that it
is cheaper to buy meat than to raise it
in this county." This is a typical ex
ample of the experience of many far
mers in the cotton belt. The trouble is
entirely lack of the proper feed. It
takes a ration high in protein or bone
and muscle buildeng material to develop
a brood sow, especially during her ges
tation period and while pigs are young.
If a sow is raised on corn in a dry lot
and is fed nothing but corn after pigs,
are farrowed, she is sure to die or go
lame because corn alone does not con
tain protein enough to make bone,
muscle, and milk for the pigs and keep
the mother's body in condition. When
the proper feed is not given the mother
will produce milk at the expense of her
own body, she may stay reasonably fat.
on the corn ration but she is starving
for protein. Her bones will become
brittle, she will become lame, Mr. X,
will say that his sow has rheumatism,
and he calls it bad luck.
A sow in this condition is simply
starving to death for the food elements
that go to keep her bone and muscles
in condition, while she may be getting
abundance of corn and remain reason
ably fat
How Brood Sows Should Be Petf
They should have pasture of some
kind. The following are some good
hog pasture plants for this
rape, soy beans, peas, velvet
clovers, alfalfa and all grasses. In ad
dition to pasture, brood sows and pigs
should be fed some concentrate that m
high in protein, some examples; shorts,
rye meal, tankage, mill feeds and
others. In addition to these rations
corn should be fed. Corn is a fine feed
for a hog in combination with other
feeds but not alone. If it is not pos
sible to have pasture plenty of the other
protein concentrates should be fed.
Rutherford county is in distressing
need of more and better hogs, and they
can be grown profitably by arranging
pasture for them and feeding them a
balanced ration.
It is an unpardonable mistake for any
farmer in Rutherford county to fail to
raise his own meat. C. C. Proffitt,
