,e Conservative elaine

the Conservative claims set
forth.
Underlying these claims has
been real value not from dol
lars and cents point alone, but
from health as well. The phe-
nominal success the preparation
has now achieved is familiar TO
everyone. No mater where y,u
go Tanlac is q household word.
1t has brought y new romance to
the modern business world. It.
is a story of an acceptance and
appreciation of merit, never
before obtained by proprietary
medicine. Conservative busi-
ness men, to whom the actual
figures of the production Gf Tan
lac have been presented, have
secuted them until the proof ives
shown.
The production of Tanlac tow
stands at the rate Of almost
5000, 900 bottle per year, or to
be more correct, 4 100000. The
sale OF 100000 ootules during
the first nine months pcoba bly,
exceeds any record ever before
made by q proprietary medicine.
Through the Atlanta utiice
alone approximately 400, 900 bot
ties have been soll and dlstribu-
ted since December 1st, and the
South alone now requires over
100000 bottles per year.
These enormous sales means
but one thing and that is merit.
One bottle is sold in a neigh
borhood through advertising, but
ten more are sold after the
first bottle produces results.
People are always willing t, tell
about their ailments, but they
are more than wiling TO tell
others of any medicine that
helps them. 1t is some thing
they can't Keep to themselves,
because the impulse TO sympa-
thiZe will follow sufferer. and

This is an age of advertising,
and everyone is familiar with
the popular saying, 1T pays to

Advertising is a. business force.
So potent is the charm cast by

Used, the advertising would ul
timately fall of its own weight.
In This connection we must not
forget the words of the Immortal
Lincoln, who SAID: You can

Chesterfield boasts of three
f1ourishing Sunday schools with
surprisingly large attendance.
The Presby terian school. which
has heretofore been held in the
afternoon, has, for the summer,
at least, changed it's hours Of
meeting to the forenoon. In
this connection it has been sug-
gested that there are usually
enough men on Main Street
down town on Sunday morning
to make about two more good
sized Bible classes. 1t has been
further suggested that a cordial
invitation is held out to all men
not better engaged, to attend
one Of these Sunday schools.

RELIANCE ONLY ON MEMORY
Zulus, Having No Written Language
Have Been Compelled to Cultivate
That Quality.

It is said that the memory in savage
or uncultivated peoples is often trained
to degree very surprising to those
civilized men and women who have
grown used to depending upon the
written much more than on the re-
membered word. The transmission Of
whole epics. like the "Iliad," by word
Of mouth mo longer seems so incred-
ible when one reads Of the feats Of
memory Of which presents day zulus
are capable. /. ,.ae, II, I.
These people have no writing, and
ore accustomed to transmit messages
and record events by memory alone.
This they can do because their mental
Impressions are made especially dis
tinct by reason OF their acquired or
inherited habit Of giving undivided at
tention to the subject in hand.
Communications between the Brit
ish authorities and the Zulu kings are
almost invariably conducted by means
of oral messages carried by natives.
A certain ultimatum addressed by the
British to Cetyway0 was conveyed to
him, not upon PAPER but in the brain
cells Of the messengers whom he had
sent 80 miles to receive 1t from the
British commissioners.
Although the document contained
some 1000 words, and was accompa.
MED by some comment on the state Of
things 1t was desired to remedy, the
whole was repeated to Cetywayo
%ith perfect accuracy.

clared that the cost Of the dyes In

Anyway, II 10 Useless to Try to
Stop Him.

As to the office boys, messenger
boys, grocery boys and boys Of many
other merchandises that are delivered
at our houses every day-well OF
course, they all whistle. The man
who never whistles is not unknown,
but no possible reward could bring to
light specimen Of the genus boy who
doesn't. It's an inalienable right Of
boyhood, to whistle +; 1t Is handed down
to him with his disposition, his
freckles. his pugnacity and all those
things that so, remind unkind people,
on occasions, OF his father. When Ia
ther was a boy he whistled; !, and, now
that the boy has taken the old mans
place, why, the boy whistles. It's per-
fectly logical that the boy should
whistle and, of course, boy never
is anything but logical
So let us all figure the same way
the poet did when he requested the
boy who whistled at his work. For
otherwise no boy would be there to do
the work. And let's spread that man
tie of charity along the years SO as
to take In, the men who whistle, too.
Don't sneer at them; don't strangle the

"don't try to stop themT 1t can't be
done, anyway. ~.
