Wants To Pass The
"Good:Things Along

What Tanlac Did for Me-" Declares
Mrs. J. M. Mays, of Augusta, Ga.

i've always believed in passing a
good thing along and that's just why

las has done for me-" said Mrs. ]. M.
Mays, wife of a we'll known coal and
wood dealer, residing at 1913
Twelfth street, Augusta, Ca, some
time ago.
"For fourteen long miserable
Eonths I suffered with disordered
kidneys, severe headaches and other
serious complications until my life
was just one day of torture after
another" she continued "My appe-
tite failed me entirely and food
seemed to poison my system. My ex-

Grafton, however. and after reading
what Tanlac had done for friend Of
mine, I tried 1t as a last resort.
"I honestly believe that Tanlac Is
the best medicine in the world:
Right after taking the first few doses
I began to improve and have picked
up in weight until 1 am now fifteen
pounds heavier than when I started
taking Tanlac. I haven't had head
ache since I began using 1t and my
kidneys have stopped troubling me
entirely. I am relieved Of all that
dreadful suffering and am in better
condition than I have been for four

The growth of the game of golf in
the United States during the last
twenty-three years has far surpassed
the most optimistic prediction Of the
handful of enthusiasts who organized
the United State Golf Association on
December %, 1894. Its popularity
and benefits soon become apparent,
however and some idea of the expan-
sion of the game may be gained by
looking over the report of the "Liber-
ty Tournament" held under the aus
pices of the United States Golf Asso-
citation on July 4, 1917, from which it
will be interesting to note that the
association communicated with no
less than 1,497 golf clubs.
Every state in the union was rep.
resented in this event excepting Ida
no, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon,
and the amount received at the time
the report was issued in October was
over $4,000. Since that time, how.
ever, the total has been increased to
more than $4,000, due to late returns
from clubs that held the event The
undertaking was decided success

ted that the golfers of the United
States exerted themselves to make

When he learned the price the Ital-

down hard. He did not propose to
see the United States, France and

After another delay the disappoint-

Mission had meanwhile attempted to
place contract directly with another
concern and was unable to do so until
the bond had been annulled, thus re-

MOSQUITOES

The mosquito is a small.
pernicious insect of the winged
variety which goes around
punching holes in summer
boarders and singing about it.
1t is more subtle and insinu-
ating and somewhat less abrupt
than a humble bee but no less
effective. Having been punctur-
ed on various spots and occa-
sions by both, we are in a posi-
ton to speak authoritatvely.
Last summer we met a large,
pot-bellied he-mosquito which
serenaded our left leg fifteen
times with the same song with
out changing his needle once.
Experience teaches that a
mosquito can survive ANYTHING
but oil of citronella or a hearty
slap on the back.
