"I have just finished my third
bottle Of Tanlao and have gained

remarkable statement made by Mrs.

Mill street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs.

judges and progressive farmers and
business men throughout the state
are behind the amendment, and il
seems probable that there will be
very little opposition to 1t at the
polls.
From a statement of municipal
finances for the SIX months ending
June 80, 1910, just published, it
appears that the total Indebtedness
of the city is 1898, ,7674s. Duriug
the SIX months the collections of
the city in all departments amounted
to sls2, ,993 s5. The largest item
from any one source Is 1000, a
partial settlement for county taxes,
and general licenses yielded S2O,-
067 so, with franchises of all kinds
a close third with %I9,995.6O.
The fact that police court fines
yielded only $4,565 20, no more
than were formerly collected in the
course of one month shows that
there has been a marked Improve.
nent in the morality of the city.
This is ascrlbed by the admInIstra-
ton to the effective efforts that
have been made to overcome
the social evil, aud the splendid in
huence of the statewide prohibition
law.
The Indebtedness of the city con.
sists in demand warrants, issued
for public improvents, some of
which are not due until 1920. The
largest amount, 1851, ,66O.57, due
this month, has been refunded by
means of an advantageous loan
made in New York, at a low rate of
interest.
The newer education is taking
possession of Arkansas. The last
decade has witnessed wonderful

keep him where the weather Is warm SO

Berry Is Needed
When Berry took his life in his own
hands and shouldered a musket with other
brave persons in our city. IL was announced
that all college men would be honorably dis
charged or given furlough on September l..
This has not been done and scores OF collie
glate soldiers are kept in camp, with no
chance to get away
Berry now is the missing link in the Penn
machine and Folwell misses him more than
he is willing to admit. The new coach never
has seen Howard play but has followed
him through the newspapers and knows he
is a first-class man. Notwithstanding his
little spat with the coaches last year, Fol-
well is willing to take chances on Berry and
slip him in the varsity backfeld-it he
ever comes back. But when will he be
back? That is the question.
Penn needs a punter this year. A for
ward passer and drop kicker also are
needed, and Berry is good for all three.
In modern football, all Of the big teams
have what is called Combination man"
in the backfeld. This man can run with
the ball, punt, throw forward pass and
drop kick. Harvard had Mshan and
BriclSley, lie Gore was Yale's star before he
was chased last year and Princeton had
Tibbott. These men could drop back from
their regular positions and the opposing
side could not tell whether the next play
would be kick, forward pass or a run. It
kept the opposing players guessing, and
that Is one of the best features of football
Could Work Combination
With Berry in the backheld, Penn
would be strengthened fifty per cent Fol-
we'll then could work the combination sys-
tenn with good results. AS It ts now, the
man who punts will drop back and the
opponents know that a punt will be made
The same is true with drop kicks and for
ward passes. Another man must be de-
veloped, and as yet no likely candidate has
made an appearance. Folwell has a hard
job on his hands.
Penn has been practicing a little over a
week now, and, although some good results
have been obtained the team is far from
a big college standard. The men show
that they will develop into good players in
the future, but how far that future is no
one can tell. The candidates showed that
they knew little or nothing about the rudl-
ments of the game, and Fowell had to be-
