MAY START LATER

This year the Alma plant of the
Michigan Sugar company may start
its fall campaign little later than in
previous years, and in this case Of
course the run will probably last until
Christmas or after this of course de-
pending upon the amount of beets
which the local plant will receive.
There are two reasons for the run
starting later than is usually the
case. One of these is the fact that
the extensive repairs that have been
in progress during the summer are
still far from being completed, and the
chances are that they will not be en-
tirely completed before the usual
time of the run. The second is de-
pendable to a great extent upon the
weather conditions from now on. At
present the growth of the beets is very
slight owing to the continued dry
weather, but should any great amount
of rain fall during the coming month,
ard other conditions continue favor
able, this will also be factor in max
ing the run start later than usual, as
with rain and fairly warm weather,
the beets will grow considerable yet,
as well as to greatly improve the
sugar percentage.

for their spherical shape and are used

industries, particularly In the manu-
facture of cement and in copper mines,
being employed in the interior OF large
cylinders. In the cement industry the
slow turning OF the pebbles produces
powder which becomes an ingredient
Of the cement, while in the copper in

relief, and | don't hesitate to recon-
mend Tanlac for troubles such as

When this important case was re-
ported to Mr.. G. F. Willis, Southern
Distributor of Tanlac, at his Atlanta
office, he said:
Endorsements like this leave
nothing further to be done in estab-
fishing the merits of this great medi-
cine; for the best evidence of a med
icine's merit is what people who have
taken it have to say about it, and
especially is this true when these
statements are made by men of high
character whom the people have hon
ored with public Office.
Hundreds of such endorsements,
however, have come unsolicited to
Tanlac, and among the most promi-
