WATCH WORTH
FULLY $500
Finest Time.Piece in kentucky
Result OF Famous
Medicine


Louisville, Apr. 7th A very hand
some watch is now on exhibition in
this city. VI q
The watch, which is the property of
L. T. Cooper, the noted "Tanlac Man."
isvalued at % 800, maybe little more.
Forty-seven flawless-cut diamonds are
imbedded in its gold case, not to men,
ton its equipment of pigeon-blood
ruby jewels. This beautiful time
piece is exquisitely embellished with
ornamentation of foreign workman
ship and contains the finest Swiss
movements 1t is really worth seeing.
According to Mr.. Cooper, the watch
came into his possession through the
merits of Tanlac. 1t happened, 80 he
says. about this way:
In one of the large cities visited by
Mr.. Cooper some time ago, the young
son of wealthy jeweler suffered from
a complaint which had bafled physi-
clans of the city and Eastern special
lists. The boy was anaemic,. listless
and not at all playful and as lively as
the other little fellows of his own age.
The parent said that the child's appe-
title was irregular, at time ravenous
and that he was extremely nervous
and complained of twitching sensa-
ton most of the time. Itching of the
nose and dizziness were other symp-
toms enumerated by the ieweler.
He asked me-" said Mr.. Cooper, 'if
1 thought Tanlac would help his child.
In reply, stated that he could test
the medicine on its own merits. The
result was that he bought Tanlac for
his son.
THINKING nothing particularly Of
the incident. 1 was little surprised
"a few month later to receive letter
from the ieweier, stating that Tanlac
had relieved his son, who was now rosy
and running about like the rest of the
boys and asking me if 1 would accept
a small token of his appreciation L
answered his letter, telling him that
while would appreciate his gift, the
fact that Tanlac had accomplished the
right results in his chtld,s case was
Sufficiently gratifying to me. .-...3
Shortly afterward, this beautiful
watch came. You can imagine my sur
prise. To me this gift is invaluable.
because it bears double meaning"
The famous medicine, Tanlac, can
now be bought in Columbia at Page
& Taylor's drug store. Ad.

Mr. w. E. McCandless, who has
been partner of Mr.. Geo. FL. Nell,
in the grocery business, this place,
for the past two years, sold his one
half interest," few days ago to Mr..
Arrest Hill, of Gradyville, and the
inventory will be taken the 10Th OF
this month. Mr.. McCandless is a
good groceryman and commanded a
liberal trade, and his friends are sor-
ry that he will sever his connection
with the store. He commends Mr..
Hill, who is to be his successor to the
trade, and speaks in glowing terms of
Mr.. Nell, their partn ership having
been perfectly satisfactory, and he
predicts that the new firm will re-
ceive the same liberal patronage as
has the old. Mr.. McCandlesS' only
reason for selling is, that he is going
to embark in another class of busi-
ness.

Lack of Barbers
 Felt In Berlin

Berlin, Aug. 5--More than one quarter of the barbers and wig mak- CTS of Berlin have been called into the army, with the result that no less than 1o4 barber shops in the capital have had to close. :
 For a time women whose barber husbands went to the war last year, attempted to keep the shops running with the employees who were left, but as these have gone one by one the women have had to close the doors and suffer accordingly the loss Of their income Only older men who were ineligible for service have been untouched by the war, but even they have had to work from early morning until late at night to make up for a lack Of employees.
 The recent quarterly meeting of the master barbers of. Berlin was the first in the history of the organization at which no new member was taken in, and never has there been so small a number of apprentices recorded only three eligible to advancement.

Many German Books Published
 On World War

Berlin, Aug. 5-The third volume
 of the War Catalog of the German Publishers association has just ap- of books and pamphlets published
 upon the war; is stadily increasing. Volume One contained 1,416 titles of war books. Volume Two 1l471s while this last volume mentions 1,631 new publications treating exclusively of war. Altogether that makes a library of 4,518 volumes about the war up to May this year.
 Curious1y enough the department of 'tArt and Bellies Lettres'' comes first with 1,166 books. Apparently every artist and every novelist has hastened to record his impressions of this conflict. Politics and econimics follow a close second, with 1,016 books, almost every professor s of either history OF economies writing the true and scientific grounds for the outbreak of the war from both a political and economic point of view. Religious. and ethical dissertat tions upon the war; which were so frequent during the first few weeks have lost ertheless the reader of a serious turn of mind can find Ss7 religious books and pamphlets which preach their own lessons about theg reat war. The flaw of war has been honored with 337 contri butt ons willie 799 books contain the personal memoirs of lead or living participants in the great events of the first 300 days of fighting.
