OLDER EOT STRONGER
' To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of mhldlc life we tuooften forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and puins, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood jmre and rich and active with the
streDKth-builditiK and bluod-nouribinn
properties of Scott's limulsion w hich Ua

When Mahon was in Congress
Franklin county had a population of 51,433.
Mr. Mahon had seven nominations at the hands
of his party.
Mr. Focht already has had five nominations
from a county of 16,249.
If Mr. Mahon had had as many nominations in
- proportion as Mr. Focht, he would still be in
Congress.
There are over 200,000 people in this Congres
sional district. There are many men living
in it who would ably represent it.
Why not retire the present Congressman and
give some one else a chance?
