Country Banks Losers,

Country banks, especially those in
the small r towns, will lose by the
system to be inaugurated today by
the federal reserve bank system for
the free handling of checks. 1t
means that country banks will be
unable to collect exchange for col
lectilfg these items, and exchange
forms large part of the revenue Of
the bank in the small town.
The proposition was discussed at
a meeting OF the Little Rock Clear
ing House association in the capital
Thursday, q number of Arkansas
bankers from uside Little Rock tax
ing part. Pine Bluff financiers in al
tendance were J. f. BOyce of tht Cot
ton Belt Savings e. Trust company;
10 Nichol of the Simmons National
bank, NJ. E. Bloom of the Citizens
bank, and A. D. Foster of the Mer-
chants & Planters bank.
Arkansas bankers dc not favor The
cashing of foreign checks at par, but
will not take up court action Or make
any formal protest of the ruling, as
it is believed that it will be useless.
The bankers do favor, however, that
the matter should be taken up with
the Arkansas congressman. and that
an amendment to the reserve act be
recommended for passage which
would strike out this ruling.

Declares He Now Eats Bet

Feels Better in Every
Way Since Taking Tanlac.

Everybody in Columbia, Tom,
knows f. C. McGavock. who owns and
operates a large dairy business il
that city.
eff there ever was a believer in Tan
lac" said r. NJ Smiser. the we'll
known Columbia, Tenn, druggist, cit
is Mr.. McGavock, as he talks about it
all the time. But he has right to
talk, as no medicine has ever helped
any one as much as Tanlac has helped
him. He really does not look like the
same man. Here is Mr.. McGaycck's
statement:
81 have now taken five bottles Of
Tanlac and have gained thirty pounds.
II you don't believe it, right here I
am, come and look at me. | don't
know what my trouble was, but was
all run down and was unfit for work.
I think though it must have been
my stomach, as l had no appetite and
nothing seemed to agree with me. [
was also nervous and could not sleen
gccd. l just kept going down hill
and losing weight right along, and
nothing did me any good until Smiser,
the druggist, told me about Tanlac.
81 tried it on his recommendation
and it helped me from the first few
dcses. The medicine seemed TO take
hold right at once, and | began to eat
better, sleep better and feel better
right from the start. If anybody
wants to know what ] think OF Tanlac,
just tell them to come and sec me.
| am right here IN Columbia. Tanlac
has simply made new man OF me
and I expect to tell all my friends
about what it has done in my case"
Referring to the above statement,
G. F. Willis, Southern distributor CT
Tanlac, said:
"Tanlac is without question the
greatest medicine of its kind on the
American market today. The extreme
popularity of Tanlac can only be ac-
counted for by the extraordinary mer-
it of the medicineS The system, be-
sides being purified, is toned up and
invigOrated, as the preparation aside
from cleansing the blood, revitalizes
the constitution, overcoming, as it
quickly seems to do, nervousness. in
digestion, non assimilation of the food,
headaches, dizziness and other trou-
bles that are SO common"
Tanlac is sold by Central Pharmacy,
Pine Bluff, and J. A. Van Elton, Ferda,

Chamber Of Commerce Also
Decides on Employment
Expert Agriculturist.

Two important propositions, one of
which will widely advertise this city
and section over a great part of the
North, East and West, and the. other
Of which will increase the productiv-
ity and market value of the truck and
fruit farms and gardens Of this vi
cinity, were acted upon favorably
yesterday, at the regular meeting of
the trustees of the chamber of COM
mercc.
Space was reserved for display Of
the products of Pine Bluff and JEFF
ferscn county. on the "Arkansas on
Wheels" exhibit train, which is to
make a tour of many states in the
thckIy settled sections of the North,
East and West. Details of the ar
engagements for the exhibit have not
been perfected, but it. was decided
that the exhibit shall be comprehen-
sive in scope, showing the products
of farms and mills. and that one or
two representatives of the chamber
see that the Pine Bluff and jefferson
county exhibit is called to the atten-
ton of thousands of people who will
visit the train.
The trustees decided also that in
the fall the chamber Of commerce
shall employ an expert agriculturist,
who will devote all his time, talents
and labors to aiding the fruit and
truck farmers of this vicinity, not
only in deciding what to plant, but
how to plant and cultivate, how to
prepare the product for market, and
how best to market it, the most i'm
pcrtant part of the experts work to
be the systematizing of the work Of
the farmers, in all departments.
The expert agriculturist will be
strictly an employe Of the chamber
of commerce, and will work in hearty
cooperation with Federal Farm Dem
straton Agents C. H. Thomas and
Joel Lambert and with the Demon
stration and Canning club agent for
the county. Mrs. Lucy Critz. He will
go even farther in his efforts, be-
cause he will not be bound within
limits, and will be in position to
greatly increase the actual money
value Of the crops grown here which
are now bringing low prices because
of no system of marketing.
The trustees discussed much other
business, of more or less import |
ant nature, and decided to recess
during the summer months. although
they may be called into session when
ever an emergency may arise. neces-
stating action by them. During the
summer, the work of the chamber of
commerce will be carried on as usual

Cause of Dreaded Malady

In cases of pellagra eat plenty of
food. such as milk and eggs, and ac-
cording to Dr. Hendon, pcllagra spe-
cialist. such nourishing food will
help the patient gain strength, while

ment has been SO successful that it
has been given to the world with a
guarantee to refund the money in
case ii fails to cure. There is no need
to suffer when nourishing diet and
this treatment will cure pellagra. The

escaped in an automobile from a dan
gerous position where he was direct

The fire started from the careless
