FELT TWICE HER AGE; PRAISES RETONGA Enjoys Meals Now, Nerves Are Steady And She Can Be On The Go All Day, States Mrs. Ryder. Tells About Her Case. Happy and grateful men and women from all walks of life con tinue to come forward with grate ful praise of Retonga. Among the latest is Mrs. Eunice Ryder, well known resident of 15 E. Shadow Lawn, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Ryder was originally from Southern Illi nois. Discussing Retonga she gratefully stated: “I am glad to tell anyone suf fering as I did that Retonga is far ahead of any medicine in my ex perience. My appetite became very poor, and nothing seemed to taste good. My nerves seemed to stay on edge, I slept poorly. I was forced to use laxatives continual ly. My strength was at low ebb, and I just seemed to feel like a woman twice my age. “Retonga gaVe me wonderful re lief. I am eating heartily again, my nerves are calm, and I sleep much better. Even that sluggish MRS. EUNICE RYDER elimination is relieved. I feel so much stronger that I am on the go from morning till night. It is hard to praise Retonga enough.” Retonga is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin, B-l defi ciency, constipation, insufficient flow of digestive juices in the stomach, and loss of appetite. If the first bottle does not bring you gratifying relief, its small cost will be refunded without question. Re tonga may be obtained at PeopISs Drug Store.—Adv. Maximum prices for the 1944 ap ple crop, resulting in a general re tail average price of 10 1-4 cents per pound, has been established by the Office of Prfbe Administra tion. The amendment, effective Au gust 16, sets new prices f. o. b. country shipping points and changes last year’s regulation in respect to apple sales in contain ers and in bulk, and in the divis ion of markups for various sellers. It also changes the method of pricing for sales delivered at wholesale makets. Advance notice of ceiling prices for the new cabbage crop, issued to growers by the Office of Price Administration, indicates no up ward revision of retail ceilings. Under the proposed maximums, given in advance of planting time under the new Congressional re quirement, f. o. b. shipping point prices will be $55 per ton from September through November. Addition of maternity dresses and slips to the dollar-and-cents pricing program for low-priced garments meeting War Production Board specifications was announc ed by the Office of Price Adminis tration. Under the program the dresses will retail for $1.89 and $2 6nd slips will sell for $1*.05 and $1.15. The dresses will range from sizes 12 to 20 and the slips from 32 to 44- Vehicles using tires of 8.25 size or larger are dependent on the qnota available at their local War Price and Rationing Board wheth er the need for replacement arises in their home area or an area served by another board, E. H. Tal bert, district director of OPA, said today. If a truck or bus using such tires suffers a tire failure in a “foreign” area it can receive re placement only if their local board yam supply the replacement from its quota, OPA said. Previously, the replacement tire could be se- -cored from the quota of the board where the break-down occurred. OPA said the action was taken in face of the present critical shortage of large size tires to en able equitable distribution and, at the same time, to discourage un necessary long-distance trips. 20 To FEDERAL TAX INCLUDED SEND NO MONEY!

Rules And Managers Of Election Given At a meeting of the County Democratic Executive Committee it was unanimously decided that a strict enforcement of the rules of the party will be required at the primary election to be held on August 22nd. The managers of election are urged to see that a free and im partial right to vote without in terference be granted to every qualified voter. In those precincts in which the Australian ballot will be used, the rules require that the managers shall be responsible for ‘ all ballots furnished, and when a voter presents himself he should be given a ballot, and the voter shall immediately retire a- lone to one of the booths, and without undue delay, prepare his ballot by scratching out the name of the candidates for whom he does not care to vote. No voter shall remain in the booth longer than five minutes. After prepar ing his ballot the voter shall pre sent himself to the manager. His ballot must be folded in such a way that the number can be seen, and the coupon can be readily detached by the manager without in any way revealing the printed portion of the ballot. Under no condition or circumstances has anyone a right to know for whom a voter is casting a ballot. The secrecy of the ballot must be pre served. If a voter shall mar or deface a ballot he may obtain one addi tional ballot upon returning to the manager in charge of the bal lots the ballot so marred or de faced. witfc the coupon attached. No voter shall be given a second ballot until he has returned the first one with the coupon at tached. • In those precincts where the Australian ballot is not to be used the Manager shall account for every ballot furnished, and under no circumstances shall a voter, candidate or anyone else be given but one ballot, and then only when he presents himself to vote. No person shall be allowed within the guard rail except as hereinafter provided. The ballot boxes and booths shall be sur rounded by a rail placed twenty- five feet away from said ballot boxes and booths and no person or persons except the members of the Executive Committee and Po- lic Officers shall be allowed with in the rail. If a voter cannot read or write, or is physically disabled, and by reason thereof did not sign the enrollment book, he may appeal to the manager for assistance and the chairman of the managers shall appoint one of the managers and a bystander to be designated by the voter, to assist him in pre paring his ballot. Immediately after a voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so ap pointed shall immediately go be hind the guard rail. Neither the bystander appointed to assist the voter or the mana ger has any right to suggest to the voter the name or names of the candidate for whom he shall vote, and a violation of this rule will subject the voter to be chal lenged, and possibly result in a contest of the box. And the man agers are strictly urged that they immediately report any interfer- : ence with a voter’s right to select a candidate for whom he desires to cast his ballot. From the time of the opening of the poll until the r an nouncement of the result and the signing of the official returns, no person shall be admitted to the polling place except the man ager, duly authorized watchers and challengers, the Chairman of the Executive Committee or mem ber of the Executive Committee appointed in his stead to super vise this polling place. Provided, that candidates voted for at such polling places may be present at the canvass of the votes, and pro vided further, that the canvass of the votes shall be open to the public. In the event that there is any interference with the right of the voter to cast his ballot or any ob struction of the voting, it shall be the duty of the managers to sus pend the election until order is restored, or as may be provided by the rules of the party. Upon the close of the election, managers shall account to the Executive Committee for all bal lots delivered to them and make the following returns: (1). The number of official ballots fur nished to each polling place: (2». The number of official ballots spoiled and returned by voters: (3). The number of official bal lots returned to the Executive Committee: (4). The number of official ballots actually voted. Those desiring to vote by mail shall make application in writing for a ballot to the Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary of his precinct, not less than five days or more than sixty days prior to the primary in which he desires to vote. The Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary shall upon receipt of the applica tion for ballot, if the applicant is duly registered in that precinct, enroll the name and address oi the applicant on a list to be kept by them for that purpose, and deliver to applicant in person, or forward to applicant by registered mail the necessary forms and bal lots for voting by mail. The Executive Committee strongly urges co-operation on the part of the candidates, mana gers and voters for a strict en forcement of the rules. Attention, Absentee Voters Rule 47 Section. 1. Any person being a qualified voter of this State when absent, or who on account of sickness cannot go in person to his or her voting precinct during any primary election, may vote as hereinafter provided for. Section 2. He shall make appli cation in writing for a ballot to the Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary, of his precinct, not less than five (5) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the primary in w'hich he desires to vote, if he be within the con fines of the United States. The application may be handed to the Enrollment Committee or Club Secretary and the applicant shall deposit the necessary postage, or the correct amount in legal ten der, necessary for registering the ballot, and full directions for mailing the same. But the fail ure to deposit necessary postage shall not render void a vote otherwise legally cast. Section 3. The Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary, shall, upon receipt of the applica tion for ballot, if the applicant is duly registered in that precinct, enroll the name and address ot the applicant on a list to be kept by them for that purpose and to deliver to applicant in person, or forward to the applicant by reg istered mail the following: (a) An envelope containing the folded ballot, sealed and marked “Ballot within. Do not open except in presence of postmaster” (or other person mentioned in Section 6): (b) An envelope for resealing the marked ballot on which is printed the “voucher” form of which is hereinafter provided: (c) A prop erly addressed envelope for the return of said ballot; (d) A print ed slip giving full instructions regarding the manner of marking of the ballot, in order that same may be counted, and how pre pared and returned; (3) A “cou pon,” the form of which is here inafter given.
