God for Tanlac.
Il weigh 95 pounds now and feel
as well as l ever felt in my life I
am going back to my husband and
home on the little farm five miles from
Acworth tomorrow, and won't it be a
joyful meeting, returning to my hus-
band and home absolutely we'll and
happy-and won't I tell everybody
about what Tanlac has done for me?'
Yes, it's just like she says" chimed
in Mr.. Battle about this time "Tanlac
Las simply robbed the grave and if
you could have seen her when she
started on this medicine, you would
say the same thing.
Il didn't qnow at the time Just what
her trouble was, but the dactors said
she had Pellagra. She may have had
it, for all l know, but there is one
thing certain; she hasn't got it now,
or at least you wouldn't think so if
you'd could watch her eat. 1 told her
jokingly the other day, that she was
eating me out of house and home. l
don't guess there ever was a case like
hers, and there is one thing certain
about it, because I fully believe she
owes her life to this medicine today"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

Trade
Planning For
Their Trade

LONDON, Jan. 14.-An important
conference will be held in London
the last of this month to discuss pro
posals dealing with British trade after
the war to prepare program to be
laid before the government in the
name of British commerce. The OBJ
ject of the conference will be to form
an offensive and defensive commerce
ial alliance of the Entente Powers
against Germany and her allies. The
conference will be attended by repre-
sentatives of all the chambers of
commerce throughout the United
Kingdom and it is thought that as a
result of the deliberations then held,
the future commercial policy of the
Icountry will be formulated.
Although the question of post-bellum
rehabilitation have occupied trade cir
Giles for some time and been frequent
ly discussed informally, the first ex-
preston of government opinion was
made by Mr.. Asquith in a recent
meeting Of parliament when he stated
that present preoccupation in the en-
deavcr to secure victory ought not to
prevent the taking of measures to in
sure the proper consideration of econ
omic, social and financial problems,
which will arise after the war The
chamber of commerce insist that bus
mess men in trade should Immediately
tegin investigations and that a defin-
ed trade policy should be evolved as
soon as possible, or at least long be,
fore the war is over, so that a basis
may be prepared for commercial alli-
a1ce with the Entente Powers which
shall become operative the day that
peace is signed.

MRS.CA5ON HAD NO
HOPE Of RETURNING
TO HER HOME ALIVE

About ten days ago j. B. Battle went
onto Jacobs Pharmacy at Atlanta to
get bottle of Tanlac for his sister-in-
law, Mrs. o. c. Cason, who lives some
distance out near Acworth While
making the purchase, Mr.. Battle told
of the wonderful improvement in Mrs.
Cason's condition since she began u.s.
ing the medicine about six weeks ago.
He also made the statement that
Mrs Cason felt so grateful for the
wonderful benefit she had received
that sh wanted to make a public state
ment as she felt it her duty to tell
tie whole world about Tanlac. He
then suggested that DR.. Elder, the
Tanlac representative at Jacobs call
at his residence for a personal inter
view.
When DR.. Elder called at Mr.. Bat
ties residence on English avenue, the
following morning, it happened that
Mr.. Battle himself met him at the
door and very cordially invited him
into his living room. Mrs. Cason, who
was bright and happy, soon made her
appearance and began with delight to
tell of the wonderful recovery of her
health, and her statement will go down
in history as being one of the most
remarkable ever given a proprietary
medicine. Here is her story in her own
words:
About six weeks ago l left my home
OF our farm near Acworth, Ca, to
come to my sisters home here in At
lanta, and l left with only a shadow OF
hope of ever returning alive to my
home and husband.
Il left Acworth," she continued, Gin

weak and exhausted and with scarcely
enough strength to walk to the door.

fcred so long had reduced me to al
most shadow, as | only weighed 60
POUNDS.
My brother-in-law, Mr.. Battle said
Well you have tried everything else
with no relief noiw l want you to take
Tanlac.' OF course, l was willing to
try it, for the medicine is the talk OF
the whole country. Well he got it for
me, and l started ON my first bottle
that day.
When l had taken about half of

French Press Troubles.

The English and the German Ian guages alike give the French newspa- pers quite as much trouble as papers on this side the water find in French and German names. Recently a Parisian paper revealed at some length the wonderful activity of General Headquarters, a British commander in Mesopotamia! Some days before, another general unknown, an Aus trian this time, made his appearance in the translation of a Viennese bulle- tin. published in a number of Swiss French papers. This was General K-u-k," who was named as command ing the right wing of the army operat- ing against the Nlontenegrins. In some of the Parisian journals military critics grayely discussed General k-u-k and the composition of his forces. Some what later note appeared in the Swiss papers acknowledging that an error had been made at Geneva in transmission and that the initials K-u-k, of three words, had been mis- taken for the name of general, the abbreviation being intended for the German terms, "Kaiserlich und koe- niglich" timperial and royaD.

1 from the Pacific, which also proved my theory of free passage. When Ad miral Melville and President Bryant of the Philadelphia Geographical society placed casks in Boring strait and set them adrift they demonstrated the time it took to pass from ocean to ocean.
 Now the last link in my theory is illustrated by the wreck of the Karluk Stefanssons ship, which was caught in the ice off Point Barrow It was not a good place to start, but she drifted in short time to latitude 73 north, and would have completed her voyage to the Atlantic in about four years, be- cause she was drifting faster than the Jeanette.
 On his last voyage the captain sc cured numerous interesting pictures of Eskimo life in the Arctic; the midnight sun, fishing in the far North, seal hunting and norwhal hunting over the ioa

MINE FIRE BURNS THROUGH b|G WALL LARGEST VEIN OF ANTHRACITE COAL IN WORLD THREAT
 FINED BY FLAMES
BURNING OVER HALF CENTURY
Claims Millions ot Dollars Worth of Coal Has Been Destroyed, While Fight to Extinguish Fire Has
 Cost Enormous Sums.

Lansford, Pa-The famous mine fire which has been raging now for more than 50 years and which started at Summit Hill, near the spot where Phillip Ginter discovered anthracite coal in 1791, has burned through the immense concrete wall which the La- high Coal and Navigation Company sank in front of it several years ago at cost of more than S1 ,000 000. It Is now threatening the mammoth vein in the Panther Creek valley, the lar gest and richest vein of anthracite Tn the world.
 The wall, which was sunk into the ground 100 feet, was 15 feet thick, of solid concrete. Experts believed 1t would prevent the fire from spreading and eventually extinguish it. Lehigh Coal and Navigation officials are try ing to prevent the fire from getting in- to the vast beds of anthracite in the vicinity
 A large force of men is drilling holes deep into the earth and into these opening water and slush is being pour ed directly on the subterranean fire m the hope of preventing a rapid spread, if impossible to extinguish it.
 This fire has destroyed millions of dollars worth of coal, while the 6D- year fight to extinguish 1t has cost enormous sums

Children Interest kinq.

The king of Spain has become inter. ested in juvenile courts and has in. structed the minister of justice to Craw up and submit to parliament a bill creating childrens courts in vari. ous parts of Spain. The plan is to have a presiding judge, who will have jurisdiction over children under fiji. teen years old. It will have authority in cases of vagrancy and delinquency and where the parents are shown to be irresponsible they may be deprived of their guardianship.
 The courts, according to the kings intention. will be modelled on similar institutions in England. During his visits to London. and before the war Alfonso and hii queen went to London at least once year, the king ire quently visited the various courts and took an especial interest in the juve nile one.

HAVE NEW ENAMEL PROCESS
Mixture Can Be Applied Cold, With out Injury to the Most Deli
 cate Objects.

There are many small objects whose beauty is much enhanced by the ap- plication of coat of enamel. but which are not capable of being fired. A process of enameling these ln the cold. so simple as to be quite practiea- ble for amateurs. is described in La Nature as follows: To Solution or sodium silicate, boiled in a closed yes sel. there is added about per cent of sulphate of lime. This causes precipitation to take place, the ulte- rior effect of which is to prevent eftiorescences which would injure the looks of the enamel. The solution. af- ter being once decanted, assumes the consistency of a paste which is heated to about 75 deg Cent. to apply to the objects to be enameled. A sec ond decantation takes place in the vftreous layer. and this then takes on an unalterable translucence. It may be tinted any desired shade, ei- ther in the mass or superficially. the

petition aroused my interest in voy ages in the North Pole regions.
 q followed De Longs expedition with keen interest, and I realized that he was undertaking voyage almost certain to lead to destruction. But his experience pointed out a route leading into the northland, and other explorers have doubtless profited by his example. When Doctor Nansen proposed a trip to the Arctic he plan. ned his voyage along the lines of Doc. tor Longs trip to the polar seas.
 'Diatoms found on the east coast oi Greenland are similar to those brought back by that great explorer Norden- skiold from regions to the westward, and comparison showed that these specimens were of the same type as the diatoms brought from Cape Wan darum, in Asia.
 The finding of these diatoms proved that a passage existed from the Pacific to the Atlantic, but did not indicate the time it took to pass through from sea to sea. Later an American har- poon was found by an English whaler in the Atlantic Arctic sea. which proved also that there was a passage by which whale could go through.
 Then later on wreckage of the Jeannette and some part of the cloth ing of two members of the Jeannette's crew came ashore on the west coast of Greenland at Julianehaab. This proved to me that If the Jeanette had not been lost she would have drifted into the Atlantic ocean in about four years and a half It also proved that there is a passage from ocean to ocean.

Problem of Pumpernickel.
Is pumperntekel bread or cake?

Is pumpernfckel bread or cake?
 This question Is agitating legal and commercial circles in Frankfort-on-the- Main. If this delicaey is a bread, its sale is limited under the card system. whereas If it is cake it may be sold ad lib.
 The police of Frankfort had been trying to stop the sale of pumpernickel without the necessary bread card" ," but when case was taken to court the decision was to the effect that it was delicacy and could be sold ac- cordingly But this didn't settle the matter, as the authorities appealed the case and declared they would keep on arresting violators of the card rule.
 The Frankforter Zeitung of Noyem- Der 30 says an exception is made in the case of pumpernickel made from flour sold at the government distribu- tion stations especially for that pur- pose.
