John Barleycorn is a bad chauf-
feur. His hand shakes his knees
wooble, his eyesight is poor and
his conscience half asleep. And
anyone who permitted this reck-
less to sit at the wheel of a mo-
tor car is a menace to his life.
That is why little sympathy is
felt for the Baltimore man just
sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary because, while intox-
icated, he ran down and killed a
woman. And if this convict fan
cies himself the victim of a great
injustice he should compare his
fate with that of the woman
whose neck his carelessness
broke.
One does not have to be intox.
icated to deserve prison for reck-
less driving. Nor does one have
to be rich. as the Baltimore man
is. Indeed, the plight of this man
should have an equally SOLDERING
effect upon all careless drivers,
tipplers, teetotalers, plutocratic-
ally poor.

Marches Three Miles in
Big Parade--GainS

IF it had not been for that
Tanlac | couldn't have gone to
the Confederate reunion at Mem
phis on the 9th of October and
marched afoot for nearly three
miles in the big parade. said
Frank B. Kendrick, who lives at
1900 Charlotte avenue. Nashville.
Mr.. Kendrick is one of Nash
ville's oldest and best known
citizens.
AS a member of Company l.
Second Kentucky Cavalry, Basil
Dukes regiment, Gen. John B.
Gordon's command, Mr.. Ken
drick saw service throughout the
civil war and was wounded four
different times.
During the winter. said Mr..
Kendrick, | suffered intensely
with rheumatism. and when
springtime came | went all to

up my mind that my end was
not very far off. 1t looked like |
was on the verge of a general
physical decline, and | had about
despaired of ever walking again.
l am 70 years of age, have
fought a good fight and proven
my record, and was ready to 60.
But since | have got hold Of Tan
lac | have set my head to round
out 80 years, and from the way
I feel now | believe | will do it.
Before | began taking the med

little strength and flesh | had,
and was so weak and debilitated
it was all could do to walk from
the bed to the chair, and even
that required great exertion. |

sleep to do any good and was
awfully nervous. My flesh
seemed to dry and | suffered a
great deal with headache.

did not show any sign of i'm
provement. attributed my fail
ure to get relief to my old age
and declining physical Spowers.
But made a bad guess, because
after taking Tanlac two weeks
| felt better and younger than |
had felt in years. am now on
my ninth bottle, and am actually
thirteen pounds heavier than |
was before began taking Tan
lac. My clothes were too large
now they are too small, and |
guess will have to buy clothes
that will fit me comfortably. To

put me right on my feet. | have
a fine appetite now.
LAS told you before, | can
now walk anywhere, and have
thrown my cane aside, because |
don't need 1t any more except for
bad evesight. | spent four days
in Memphis at the reunion, and
just tramped around all over
town with the boys. All around
were men who gave out during
the parade. but at the end | was
right there, and didn't feel the
least bit tired. just got back
a few days ago, and am awfully
glad to tell you what Tanlac has
done for me. III had the money

VAST PREHISTORIC SEA.

the ocean, which eXtenQeQ 1roHl
the Gulf of Mexico far up into
New York State, together with
the early animal life of this sea,
is described in an interesting
manner by the United States
Geological Survey in reporting
to a correspondent on a rock
sample:
"The rock was formed very
long ago, many million years ago,
in what biologists call the De-
vynian period. At that time a
large part of the eastern United
States was occupied by an arm
of the sea which extended north
eastward from the Gulf of Mexico
regoing into New York State.
The eastern shore of the sea was
not far east of the present line
of the Blue Ridge and the High
lands of New JERSEY and south
eastern New York, and still
farther east lay great continent
which extended an unknown
distance into the area now
occupied by the North Atlantic.
The northern shore of the sea
was somewhere near a line drawn
from Albany through Syracuse.
Rochester, n d Buffalo. The
present site Of the Catskills was
thus near the northeast end CT
head of this sea or gulf, with
land not far away on the east
and north.
The sea teemed with life,
almost wholly in7ertebrate
ANNALS and marine plants, and,
the larger part of the life appears!
to have inhabited the sea bottom.
Brachiopods. though rare now,
were very abundant then, and
many other forms Of animals
crawled about or grew upon the
sea floor. As the steams washed
in sand and mud from the
neighboring lands the sea
gradually filled up and the shells
of many brachiopods and other
shell.bearing animals were thus
buried in the sand and their
forms preserved till now. By
slow upward movement of the
earth's crust the sea was drained
from the region and the beds of
sand and muc that had been
hardened into sandstone and
shale, and lifted thousands of
feet above the sea level to form
great new land. The Catskill
Mountains have since been
carved from this uplifted mass
of rock through the cutting of
valleys by streams.
"As rule none of the original
material of the shells ispreserved,
having been dissolved away long
ago. The sand being closely
compaeted about the shells, their
forms were preserved, however,
as molds in the sandstone. Some
of the molds have since been
filled by calcite Calcium car
bonate) which has crystalized
from water that soaked through
the rock, and thus casts were
formed having the same shape
as the original shells and con-
sisting of similar material. The
fact that few. if any, whole
shells were preserved in this
particular rock shows that, after
the death of the animals that
they belonged to, the shells
were washed about by waves
and currents and more or less
broken up before being buried
in the sand"
