!" You Will Hardly Know Me
When We Meet Again, for
I Am Getting Well,' He
Writes to Atlanta Friend.

One of the latest additions to the
list Of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their
unqualified Endorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank v. Evans,
former Mayor of Birmingham, Ala,
ex-State Examiner of Public Ac-
counts of Alabama, and one-time
editor of one Of the South's greatest
hewspapers-The Birmingham Age
Herald.
Writing to personal friend in At
lanta, Mr.. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2, 1915.
BY the way, you will hardly
know me when we meet again be-
cause / am getting well and strong
again. AS I told you while in At
lanta last month, / have been suffer-
ing long time with gastritis, as the
doctors call it-really a disordered
stomach with consequent constipa-
ton, pains in the shoulders, head
ache, belching, heartburn, loss of
appetite, loss of sleep and fainting-
spells. For weeks I could not sleeep
on my back.
lone week ago upon recommends
ton OF friends, who had tried the
medicine, purchased one bottle of
Tanlac and began taking it. Since
my second dose / have suffered none
of these troubles to which I refer,
and really believe I am going to get
perfectly well and strong again.
Won't that be wonderful at my age?
Well, certain it is that Tanlac is a
wonderful medicine, and you know
that I am not given to putting
mere experiments and am rather
orthodox as to materia medica.
81 shall continue the treatment
with perfect confidence in the fina:

CITY MANAGEMENT
WORKS WONDERS.
What New Methods Have Accomplish
ed In Certain Municipalities.

The mlsrule OF American cities is no.
torious at home and abroad, writes
Charles b. Strayer in Leslie's Weekly.
Graft is rampant. Political spoilsmen
mulct our cities and the taxpayers foot
the bills. German municipalities, on
the other hand, are famous throughout
the world for the absence Of graft and
the efficiency Of their administration.
There the administration of cities is
a distinct profession to which men de-
vote their lives. The administrator
who has made a good record in one
city Is called from a small municipal
lty to a larger one.
"Great Industrial corporations, such
as the Standard Oil company and the
United States Steel corporation, are
conducted with an efficiency nowhere
excelled. The taxpayers can have the
same results in municipal administra-
ton whenever they get thoroughly tir-
ed of being robbed by the politicians
and grafters and demand municipal re-
form.
"An increasing number of American
cities are reaping the benefits of ad-
ministration by managers chosen. be-
cause Of proved ability to conduct
great enterprises. Gaylord c. Cum
min, as manager of Jackson, Mich,
worked wonders i'm that city OF $4,000
people in one year. Municipal en-
plOyees were taken out Of politics.
Property to the value Of $3S3,0OO, for
merly exempted from taxation with
out legal reason, was restored to the
tax rolls. The poor department was
consolidated with the organized chart
ties, with a trained social worker at
the head. Rigid milk inspection was
inaugurated and sanitary inspection
made efficient for the first time. With
out raising the tax rate these and nu-
merous other reforms were inaugural
ed a floating deficit Of $4,000 wiped
out, the citys net Indebtedness reduc-
ed $4,000 aud a cash balance left Of
$4,000 exclusive Of the sinking fund ."

SQUEEZING BLOOD
OUT OF A TURNIP
A Lot of People Apparently
Think It Can Be Done

"You" can't squeeze blood out
of a turnip." This is absolutely
true, but a lot of people evidently
don't believe if.
You can't expect nervous, run
down men and women to be
CHEEKY, normal beings. They
don't get one-half out of life that
they deserve. But a lot of peo-
pie expect it of them.
In every community there are
a legion of these men and wo
men. Not really sick, perhaps
but affected condition so that
they imagine countless things are
wrong with them. They have
frequent headaches, are sluggish
In mind and in body and they
haven't enough real energy to
make them self-reliaut in even
the little things Of life. They
haven't enough rich, red blood
to nourlsh their bodies.
Their vital organs are congested.
They need something to speed up
their assimilation TO a normal
state, something to bring back
old vitality, self-reliance and a
CHEEKY view of life.
They need something that con-
tains the right nerve food, tonic,
invigorator and appetizer which
will awake their sleeping ener-
gies.
Tanlac is designed especially to
meet these conditions. For the
relief of stomache, kidney and
liver ailments and catarrhal af-
fections of the mucous mem
branes it Is believed to be with
out an equal. 1t fortifies one to
better encounter fatigue, ex
posure and the daily grand of
life.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
ORGANIZED TREE PLANTING
BEAUTlFIES A SMALL TOWN
How the Marvin Is. D.) Commercial
Club Inaueurated q Movement.

Marvin, S. D., Is a small town Of
some 300 people located in a prosper.
GUS portion of the northeastern part
Of the state, about 200 miles directly
west Of Minneapolis, writes Herbert
]. Poppelman, secretary Of the Marvin
Commercial club, In the American City.
The town is not organized Cfor local
reasons) and is governed by the town
ship organization, which has two mem
bers in the county and one in the
town.
The town obviously could not under
take to carry out such a proposition as
tree planting at the public expense,
but the Marvin Commercial club could.
This is a live organization which de-
rives from club dues and the manage
ment Of local dances and other public
entertainments a small annual sum
which is used in public betterment.
Last winter some Of the members pre-
scented the idea of planting trees on
the streets Of the village. The matter
was thoroughly discussed and plans
were laid, and long before spring ar.
rived the club had bargained for 200
ash, 200 elm and 200 box elder trees
from six to eight feet tall Exception
ally low terms were quoted by the
nurseries, which were strongly in sym
patty with our good intentions.
Planting COO trees Of that size is no
small matter. Many members volun-
teered to plant twenty trees each, and
tothers made larger offers; but, feeling
assured that such plan would not
work out wei, we hired two able men
to dig the holes, which were about
four feet I'm diameter and tweuty-four
inches deep Then we secured volun-
teers among the men who had had ex-
perlence In planting trees, each 20 give
n day Of his time Other volunteer as
| sistance was also accepted.
When the trees arrived local Arbor
day was proclaimed. Organized squala

ed. The ladies Of the town gave the
workers good lunches in the middle Of
the morning and the middle Of the
afternoon, so that the hard work was
made pleasant, and all enjoyed the III.
version.
The summer was very favorable-a
little too wet for crops, but just right
for the new trees-and almost every
tree grew and Hourished. Many OF
them now measure eleven feet in
height The topography Of the town
site is rolling, and we placed the ash
and elms on the upper streets and the
box elders in the lower parts Of the
town. In the fall the trees were prop
erly mulched with old straw, etc, and
there is every reason to anticipate
vigorous growth in the coming sum-
mer.
OF course I'm every community there
are a few who will not assist in any
undertaking. Such people are known
the world over as local knockers.
There were a few Of that kind in Mar
win, and they almost succeeded in dis
couraging the lukewarm workers, but
the leaders went right ahead until
even the knockers were delighted to
see that their knocks availed nothing.
We are now making plans to lay out a
park and plant It this spring with
shade trees This is a still larger I'M
dertaking, but we believe we are big
enough for the job.

CHILD WELFARE PRIZES.

Best For Children.


To interest the residents Of Kansas
in child welfare work prizes have
been offered to third class towns
which are the best for child rearing
The contest was arranged only re-
Gently, and already more than 800
towns have entered.
The contest is being conducted by
Professor w. A. McKeever, head Of

University Of Kansas. He had charge
Of a similar contest last year, when
w. r. Stubs, former governor, Of
fered a prize Of 81, 900 to the city Of
the second class which showed the
most improvement in child welfare
work and was found by competent
judges to be the best town of that
class in Kansas in which to rear chill
dren. Winfield won that prize, and
Independence received second honors.
The state is furnishing each city
with q copy of the findings Of the
commission that picked that winner
in the former contest, so that the
towns will know the points upon
which the scoring will be based.
The six chief points are: Oppor-
tunity for play and athletics, school
work and Industrial training, social
and recreational activities. physical
and moral safeguards, activities Of
child fostering clubs and societies, at
