COOPER TO PROVE
FAMOUS THEORIES.
Celebrated Medicine Accomplishing
Remarkable Results In Many
Leading Cities.

Referring TO the recent visit to At
lanta OF l.. I. Cooper, the man who
electrified the larger cities OF the
country with his philanthrOphy, health
theories and celebrated medicine, Tan
lac, G. F. Willis, his southern repre-
sentative, said:
Thousands Of the most prominent
people in Atlanta, Birmingham, Nash
vile, Chattanooga Louisville, Knox
Vile and other cities where his cele-
brated medicine has been accomplish
ing such remarkable results, are even
more enthusiastic over Tanlac than
Mr.. Cooper himself.
"As previously stated, Mr.. Cooper
contends that nine-tenths of the dis
eases and ill-health Of the average
person is due to a catarrhal condition
which produces faulty digestion and
improper assimilation of the food.
"In a recent interview Mr.. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve kid
ney trouble, liver complaint, rheuma-
tism and a dozen other ailments, and
in this connection said
GAS ! have repeatedly said, my
medicine acts directly on the mucous
membrane, stomach and blood, expell-
ing from them the impurities and toxic
poisons, and rendering to them a
strong, healthy condition. | am con-
vinced that the stomach regulates the
condition of the blood, and is the
fountain head of health or disease, as
the case may be. My medicine is in
tended primarily for the regulation Of
the stomach and catarrhal inflamma-
ton, but it is no uncommon thing for
persons who have used it to come to
NE and explain that it has relieved
them of rheumatism and many other
ailments not generally recognized as
having their origin in stomach trOu-
ble'
"The ingredients or medicinal ele-
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections Of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia,
West Indies, Mountain states, near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru
are among the points from which the
principal parts of the preparation are
obtained. In the principal laboratory
of the Cooper Med cine 70 .lrC., under
The efficient direction Of Herr JOS Won
Trimbach, a native German chemist OF
note, these medicinal herbs, roots and
barks are assembled In the rough and
painstakingly developed so as to at
tain that high standard Of efficiency
shown by the uniform preparation of
Tanlac."
In referring to the unprecedented
demand for Tanlac in Atlanta, Mr..
Charles A. Smith, manager OF the ia
cobs' Pharmacy Co., said:
81 have been in the drug business in
Atlanta Is years, and not in my ex-
perience have we handled anything
that even approaches Tanlac as sell
ler. In less than five weeks time we
have sold and distributed through our
eleven stores over 5000 bottles, and
on last Saturday alone over 400 people
called at our stores to obtain the medi-
cine Judging from the repeat sales
and the many expressions Of satisfac-
ton from those who have actually test
ed Tanlac, the preparation must be
something Of extraordinary merit"

weeks in gathering data and business
for a directory of Harrison, the popu-

lated by the universal rule of doubling
the number of names shown in di-
rectorieg which includes only persons

ROAD BUILDING AND CHARACTER
BUILDING.

Where does Mr.. Harvey cowe i1''
That's what the average man wants TO
know when informed that Colonel w.
II. (Coinl Harvey has been engaged
in promoting and building roads for
more than fifteen years and that he
receives no salary for his work Nat
urally, such a question would be the
first to suggest itself to the practical
man.
Mr.. Harvey became interested iC the
building of roads through necessity.
In his section of Arkansas, where he
located about fifteen years ago, there
were no roads worthy the name. Fail
ing to arouse the citizens of the com.
munity to a point where they would
volunteer to help build some, lie b.
gan making them at his own expense
/ They were so convenient and ya,u.
able to the local community thai the
same citizens who were at firs. dis.
interested became enthusiastic over
good roads to the extent that tLey
contributed time and money to the
construction of more roads, and still
more roads. Mr. Harvey did not fail
to note that the more they contributed
to work of this character the better
citizens they became with reference
to their attitude toward their govern
ment and, naturally, its effect upon
themselves. In other words, while
building roads they also built charact,
er.
Colonel Harvey gets his enjoyment
out of his services in what he terms
character building" Building good
roads and good characters are to him
synonymous terms. But for the best
results in the paramount feature of
his propaganda, in his judgment, the
roads should be built by the people
whom they are intended to serve,
without bond issues, and with the aid
of only such revenues as come into the
treasury through the usual sources of
taxation for that purpose plus con-
tributions of money and labor 1t is
the giving of service, contributing
something of value to the govern
ment instead of taking something
from it that makes for the building of
a better citizenship. It's the spirit
that enters into the business Of doing
something for the competJn good that
is worth while; it's the pride of view
ing work We'll done that counts.

GERMAN 5OMBAST.

While the allies are trying to appear
courteous in their consideration Of
Germany's peace proposition submit
ted last week, it is not for moment
to be expected that they can accept
the overtures in their present form.

war for the purpose Of making itself
a world-dominating power; having vio-
lated its own treaty and devastated
Belgium; having violated all the laws
Of war and humanity for the protec-
tion Of non-combatants for Germany

Germany is right in anything she has
done up to date-and in the boastings

One of the broad benefits Of the new
farm loan system is that it will help
all OF us to secure food at lower prices
for that is what increased produc-
ton amounts to. If we can encourage
the farmers of this country or aid
them in doubling the output Of the
land we should have twice as much
food, and with twice as much food
prices would be lower.

START SPRING GARDEN NOW.

Notwithstanding the many exhor-
tations for fall and winter gardens, it
is probably true that eight of every
ten Arkansas gardens are today grown
up in weeds with a few sorry cabbage
heads. There are two things to be
done right now for a successful gar
den next year. l. Cover with good
barnyard manure. 2. Plow, and plow
deep Then a light seeding of oats,
wheat or rye for the chickens will
pay. If weeds have seeded, all the
trash should be burned before spread
ing the manure. Burn trash, spread
manure and then plow are three i'm
portant steps to be taken for a good
garden next year.
