Rolls of Rice.

The most important of the agri-
cultural industries of India is the
cultivation of rice, of which a num-
Der of varieties are produced, differ
ing in size, shape and color of grain
as well as in suitability for culinary
purposes. More than 7O,0OO,OOO
acres are annually put under rice in
India. One of the varieties grown
is peculiar in that it is too glutinous
to be boiled in the ordinary way.
This difficulty is avoided by boiling
it in bamboo tubes, and after being
thus prepared it is left in the tubes
to be eaten cold, especially by trav-
elers. When the rice is to be eaten
the bamboo is peeled of, and a long
roll of rice appears, which forms an
excellent substitute for bread.

I'VE THOUGHT MOTHER
WOULD never RECOVER. "
SpaTanburg Woman Tells Of Mothers Suffer-
ing from Awful Malady,
REMARKABLE RECITAL.
Daughter Says the Unexpected
Happened and Tells of Wonder
s.ful Change Brought About.

SIsHow Tanlac hada driven away:all
signs Of peIlagra, which herlmother
had so badly that thee bones of her
hands showed through the sores,
and how the same medicine had
given her great relief, for different
troubles, was described in a very re-
markable endorsement of Tanlac,
given by Mrs Belle Hopper Of No 6
Drayton Ave, DraytOn, 5 G, sub
urb of Spartanburg.
Il suffered from headaches and
felt very badly" declared Mrs Hop
per, in her statement. My system
was in badly run down condition
and l was very weak. Tanlac had
helped my mother so much that |
decided to take it, and the Tanlac
gave me a great appetite and | be-
gan to want to work all the time, al
though had been too weak to work.
The medicine put me in good shape
in every way.
MY mother, whose home is at
Chesnee, S C, suffered from a very
bad case of pellagra and she had
been in bed for two years before she
began taking Tanlac, and she had
been almost helpless for year or
two before she had to stay in bed all
the time. Her system was in very
much run down condition, and her
hands, face feet were a solid mass OF
sores. She had no appetite at all
and had lost a lot of weight.
Really, my mother was in a ter
rible condition. The doctors told her
! she had the worst case they ever saw,
and the bones of her hands showed
through the sores. She had taken a
lot of medicine-almost every kind
of tonic she ever heard of-and had
several doctors, but she says Tanlac
did her more good than all Of the
other medicines she took.
"The Tanlac really gave my mo-
ther wonderful relief. The sores left
her and have not come back though
before she took Tanlac we thought
she would never get over this dis
ease. She was in an awful condition
really, but she looks like another
woman now and it is all due to
Tanlac.
''She has a good appetite now
and has gained a lot of weight. She
gained three pounds on the first
bottle. We have never seen any
thing like it. 1t is hard to believe
any medicine could do as much, but
Tanlac sure did give her the most
wonderful relief.
Il am glad to recommend Tanlac
because it just broke up the case OF
pellagra my mother had-at least,
the sores were driven awayand have
not come back - and because it
proved in my case a remarkably
good medicine. My mother has not
single symptom of pellagra now
so far as | can tell. "
