Purest Meal Obtainable.

What's the use to sift the meal
unless the corn is sifted before it is
ground. The demonstration of the
Meadows mill by Stewart d her-
naghan Monday showed how neces-
sary it is to sift corn before it is
ground. The Meadows mill, by a
modern process, removes all trash,
rotten corn, weevils and other in
sects from the corn before it reaches
the stones that convert it into meal.
See corn ground on a modern mill
and you will lose your taste for
meal ground by one of the old-style
mills that has no attachment or ap,
pliance for removing the impurities
from The corn. Really meal from
a Meadows mill, if finely ground,
needs no sitting. Such meal never
produces pellagra.

DO appetite at all, and would eat
scarcely more than one biscuit for
breakfast. She had twice been OPP
Grated on for tumor and appendi-
citis. The first operation was not
successful, and the second was nee
essary. AS a result, her health was
undermined and her condition be-
came very bad.
She was so weak she could hard
ly walk and she was so restless at
night that she really was very little
refreshed when morning came. She
would wake US at night many times
with her groaning. She lost a great
deal of weight, too. 1t was her side
where the cuts were made, when she
was operated on that caused her so
much pain. And, too, her system
was generally out of order.
"She has already taken three bot
ties of Tanlac, and if l had not seen
the Improvement Tanlac made in
her condition, I don't know wheth-
er I would fully believe it could be
so great, should someone have told
me that. She has gained IL pounds
and now weighs 1872 pounds more
than she has ever weighed before.
She has a very good appetite and it
is steadily improving. Really I
have told her if she continues to in.
crease the amount of food she eats
I will have to make her stop taking
Tanlac. And what she eats is nour:
ishing-her.
"Her health has improved in
every way and she is very much
stl onger. She goes to sleep now
just as soon as she gets in bed, and
she sleeps soundly all. night. Her
nerves are quiet and strong now,
though they troubled her a lot be.
fore she began to take Tanlac. She
used to have bad spells of headache,
too, but Tanlac broke them up and
she has not had an attack since she
began taking it.
Just before she began taking
Tanlac, she decided to 60 on a
visit to Pell City, Ala, but was
told she could not stand the trip.
But she left for that city just two
days ago in fine health, so great was
the benefit three bottles of Tanlac
gave her.
"Tanlac is just a wonderful med
icine, and we can't say too much In
praise of it, and I certainly am glad
to recommend it. The Tanlac did
her more good than any of the many
other medicines she took"

registrar of Cocker college, and Miss

ments. Each girl then began to
guess the names of the advertise

of dealers being removed as far as
possible. Miss Miriam Norris won
first prize consisting of a weekend
box of toilet articles.
After the guests had chatted for
a short time they were delighted to
see another contest to take part in.
Each guest was given a large sheet
of white paper on which was written
the name of some animal. The
animals whoseIname was written on
the different sheets were to be torn
out, each guest having a different
animal.
When the animals were all COM
pleted they were held up for in
spection and the girls voted on the
best ones. Miss Bessie Ford Turner
of Johnston received the first prize
consisting of a box of animal crack
ers. Miss Turner's skill had been
used to make a horse. Miss Mae

ing made the worst representation
possible of a rat.
