holdings that a 1932 poll tax re-
ceipt was essential was due to the
fact that poll tax lists are not
made up before April 1, and in
past years it has been customary
to rely on the lists of the year
before until that date.
However, Mr. Brown held that
possession of a new receipt, or
an exemption certificate, or an
affidavit that a receipt has been
obtained, is superior to the poll
tax lists.

Truck Hoes Up 10 Cents Over
Yesterday
Bullish gains on the local live-
stock market here yesterday con-
tinued today in all classes.
Truck hogs made a 10-cent
gain over yesterday at a top of
$4.25, which was the rail hog
high yesterday. No rail hogs were
onthe market today. The best
price received for hogs two weeks
ago was around $3.50.
Clipped lambs held early ad-
vances at $7.25. Calves have in-
creased 50 cents over last week’s
close and were going today at
$4.50 to *4.75.
Cattle of exceptional quality
would bring new highs for the
year, if offered on the market at
the present time, local 'cattleman
agreed.

Unlike other premiers who have
combined the office of foreign

Doumergue showed no awe of
Briand’s office. It has been left
intact hitherto, and M. Briand’s
successors have used other rooms.
The door has been kept locked

M. Doumergue, however, swept

“—if I don’t someone else will
have my Job” -
TTOW! “Well, I learned years ago that work ... wear and
1 tear . . . takes something out of men and women—particu-
larly those who work indoors.
“Good food and fresh air at night are most valuable, but I
found that the so-called simple tired feeling—‘let down’ some call
it—comes from overtaxing one’s strength. .
“I tore down those precious red-blood-cells faster than my
good body could rebuild. A friend told me the story of that grand
medicine S.S.S. Now at 4 P. M. I am fit to still ‘carry on’.”
One of the really sad things in life is the pushing aside or
“shelving” of the weak... someone is always ready for your job.
Why not reason sensibly that when you begin to “let-down” then
it is time ... before it is too late ,. to build back your vitality ?
Of course, if you suspect an organic trouble, consult a physi-
cian or surgeon. But if you feel weak . . . lack a keen appetite
...or if your skin is pale ... try S.S.S. as a part of your regular
daily diet. Take it just before meals. Unless your case is excep-
tional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite ... your
color and skin should improve with increased strength and energy.
8.8.8. is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic specially de- -
signed to stimulate gastric secretions, and also having the mineral
elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying
hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to “carry on” without
exhaustion as you should naturally.
If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, we recommend
S.S.S. because its value has been proven by generations, as well
as by modern scientific appraisal.
S.S.8. is truly a blood and body tonic. It is sold by all drug
stores in two convenient sizes ... the larger is more economical.
' ****
There is no substitute for S.S.S.
Secure 8.88. from your own druggist... with few exceptions drug-
gists are ethical and conscientious, and will not suggest a substitute.
No medicine has the same formula as this time-tested Blood Tonic...
nor does any other concern gather the same roots with their own
trained collectors and extract the active medicinal principles, un
changed, in their original fresh state—this la the secret of S.S.S....
there is no substitute. Thousands of people have a low red-blood-cell
count and don't recognise it. S.S.S. is useful in promoting a keen
appetite and restoring deficient red-blood-cells and their hemo-glo-bin
content which are so necessary for sound health. © Thes.s.S. Co.
