STORY OF GREAT SUCCESS FINANCIALLY AND IN
EVERY WAY is TOLD AS PLANS ARE MADE FOR
CELEBRATION OF "'TAN LAC WEEK" THROUGH
OUT THE COUNTRY

From the great mind of Herr JOS
eph Trimbach, the eminent German
chemist in charge of corp of experts
at the big Daton, Ohio laboratory,
came the secret of Tanlac after years
of study and research by this great
organization looking to the perfection
of perfect remedy to alleviate the
everyday ills to which everybody is
subject-Modern Maladies they are
called
They are disorders of stomach and
digestion due to intersections. or en-
cesses or accidental breaks in diet or
rest or to carelessness. They cause
such ailments as inactive liver, bill
liousness, gas, bloating and pains, dir
illness, headaches, sallow skin and I'M
slightly blotches, coated tongue, bad
breath and catarrhal conditions both
disagrccable and distressing. These
ills derange the stomach, stop up the
nose and head: cause sleeplessness
and loss of appetite brings pains sug-
costing rheumatism because of uric

lack of interest in work or play and
finally brings "that tired feeling"
which is the common way to express
nerve or stomach exhaustion.
Once proven by test to be correct

nation of brains, money and facilities

CHEMICAL EFFECT OF LIME IN
THE SOIL.
(By R. R. Wall, Co. Agert.)

In the last issueof this paucr the
effects of lime upon the physical con-
dition of and bacterial activities in the
soil were discussed. 1t is the prr-
pose now to discuss briefly the chem
ical effects of lime in the soil. Soils
may be divided into two classes. First
their alkaline or "sweet" due to the
presence Of? and second their
acld or sour, due to the presence of
acids. When plants decay in the soil
organic acids are found, the chief
being humic acid. If these acids ara
not neutralized by the anrlication of
lime or some other base they will
accumulate in sufficient quantity TO
become harmful to the growth ofmany
plants.
Two of the most important plant
foods are potash and phosphoric ac-
H.: They may be present in the
soil in either soluble or insolible form.
II soluble the plant can take them up
as food. but if insoluble the plant
cannot use them, and for the time be-
ing they are worthless. Lime acts
upon the compounds of iron and alu-
minum containing insolublc potash
and phosphoric acid by changing the
compound and making the plant food
soluble: If these plant foods are
allowed to remain in an insolublc
form they are worthless. When rem
dered soluble more rapidly than the
crops need them by the excessive an
plication of lime they may be washed
out of the soil. lost and when com
pietely exhausted will have to be sun
piled by the application of CONNER
cial fertilizer. have been told bv
some farmers in the county that
they have used as high as six to
eight tons of burnt lime per acre.
This is unnecessary and results in n
waste of both lime and the plant
food in the soil. Thus it is seen that
the supply of insoluble plant food in
the soil may be regarded as a bank
account with the soil, TO be drawn
upon when needed. but not to be vast
ed. In most cases an application of
one ton of brunt lime or two tons of
ground lime per acre every four or
five years is beneficial and desirable.
Any more aim this is unnecessary. In
conclusion it may be said that Mt pres
ent there are far more farmers who
do not use enough lime than there
are who use too much.
Try to reach the hapnv medium.

NEGROPHITIS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Graham Daily News, is throwing an
average of six fits week over the re-
port that Giles b. Jackson, is coming
to the Ninth district to assist in the
campaign of +. Lee Trinkle for Con-
gress. This psychological condition
exists with the editor of the Graham
DAILY News. in spite of the fact that
Campaign Secretary Caldwell has
Strengthened out the matter in no nm
mistakable language. We are at IL
loss to understand why the Graham
adjunct to the Telegraph persists in
examining down the thronts of it's
readers in every issue reports that
Giies jackson has been secured by the
Democratic Committee of the Ninth
district in the face of the positive
statement that such is not the case.
Inc Democrats of the district arc not
disposed to raise the color question
IL having been settled long ago. If
the Graham paper think it is estranp-
ing Democratic votes from Trinkle bv
such a campaign of misrepresentation
1t is badly mistaken. There are y
number of respectable colored men
living in the Ninth district who are
gong to vote for Trinkle and Wilson.
and are doing so of their own free
Will and accord and for that reason
further that they believe the Demo-
Gratis of the Ninth district are their
friends, and they know exactly what
TO expect from them. The Republi-
cans OF the Ninth district have played
politics with the negro for a num-
Der OF years, but have mighty little
use for him except on election day.
