WORTH WEIGHT IN
GOLD" SAYS YOUNG
HAD TAKEN so MUCH MEDICINE
HIS HOUSE LOOKED LIKE
DRUG STORE-GAINS RAPID
LY AFTER TAKING TANLAC

IF forty men had sworn to me
until they were black in the face
that any medicine on earth would
have helped me as much as Tanlac
has in only ten days time, l would
have laughed at them" said Robert
Young, who lives at 512 Baxter av.
enue, Knoxville, Tenn.
This medicine is worth it's
weight in gold, and if the price was
$50 bottle instead of 81, | would
buy it just the same if l had the
money to pay for it,
IF the next bottle helps me as
much as the last, l am going to
throw these crutches away. | feel
like different man, and if it were
not for my back and legs, which
were operated on, l would be able
to walk again.
Il have been suffering for years
with tuberculosis of the bone, and
if it had not been for a prominent
surgeon here in Knoxville-whose
name | will be glad to give to any
one on request guess l would
have died long before this.
ut was a wonderful operation,
and there was a whole lot of talk
about my case here in Knoxville. ]
| don't believe there has ever been
another case as bad as mine. He
sawed nine inches out of the bone
in my leg and grated it to my
spinal column So far as the oper-
alton was concerned, it was a COM
plete success, and saved my life,
but my constitution was so weak
ened at the time | had never fully
recovered from the effects of it, and
have been very weak and gradually
losing strength ever since. l fin
ally got so l could hardly eat or
sleep, and was gradually going
T%wn hill.
IF you remember the day l
came after The first bottle of Tan
lac, | was SO weak | could hardly
get about. l now feel like a new
man. | can eat better and sleep
better, and have gained several
pounds in weight
"Of course, / do not mean to saw
this medicine will cure tubercu-
losis in any form, and | know you
do not recommend it for that. but
it seems to have built me up and
strengthened me in every way.
Before taking this Tanlac, | had
tried so many different kinds of
medicine that my house looked like
a drug store. l will be glad to tell
anybody what it has done for me,
but l won't have to tell item, for
the difference in my looks will show
for itself"

The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. T. Cato sympathize with
them in the loss of their little
daughter, Florence, age six years.
She had only been i'll a few days
with pneumonia, which turned to
meningitis. Florence was an I'M
usually bright little girl and su, Il
kind, sweet disposition, she had
ried to Adairsyille for interment
wnere only a few days before she
had gone with her parents to see
her grandmother buried.
We extend to the family and low
ed ones our love and sympathy.
Mrs. George Doss, after a severe
attack of grippe, is much better.
Mrs. Jennie Perkerson does not
seem to improve very fast. Mrs.
Perkerson has been confined to bed
for some time. We hope she may
improve as the warm weather opens
up.

Champion Potato Grower.

F. B. Rucker, of the Bethel neigh
borhood is the champion potato raiser
and saver of Calhoun county. He
sent us some this week that were
grown in 1915, which he had banked
through 1915, and to all appearance
they were nearly as sound as last
years crop.
Mr.. Rucker had one bank of 1915
crop that he did not use last year,
and during the summer the potatoes
sprouted and came through and COW
cred the entire bank with vines. He
has not dug those yet, and if he
makes as many from those he plant
ed, we presume he has potatoes to
spare in the neighborhood of that
bank. We suppose it will take long
while to dig those, or better still, he
will just have all of them banked
around that one bank and use them
as he needs them. Who can beat that
for growing and saving potatoes in
this county? Don't all speak at
once.-St. Matthews Calhoun Ad-
vance,

SEVEN ECLIPSES THIS YEAR.
Watch Superstition Lift Its Heed.
Writes Garrett P. Serviss.

In connection with the psychology
of war, which was considered by the
American scientists at their recent
meeting in New York, special dis
cussion might have been devoted to
the superstitions that are let loose
like flocks of night-birds whenever
the human spirit is deeply perturbed.
The tendency to superstition is
strong in all of us. 1t is our inward
confession that we do not know
everything.
AS knowledge widens, supersti-
tions retreat, but it always remains
in the background, towering, or
standing over" (the root meaning
of the word), because there is al
ways a region of mystery surround
ing the frontiers of science, no mat
ter how far they may have been
pushed. But one may have driven
the area of superstition so far away
that it's clouds are hardly noticed on
the remote horizon of ones mind,
while another is closely enveloped in
their shadows.
Take, for instance, the matter of
eclipses. This is going to be re-
markable year for those awe-inspir-
ing phenomena. There will be seven
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-01

eclipses, the greatest number that can
possibly occur in any one year, and
three of these will be of the moon,
the greatest number of lunar eclipses
that can occur in one year. One OF
these. the first total eclipse of the
moon that has been seen since 1913,
has already happened, having taken
place just one week after new year
eve. The next lunar eclipse will oc-
cur in the middle of the year, and
the third in December. Then there
are the four solar eclipses which the
year is to witness, although none of
them will be total, so that they will
lack spectacular features.
A precisely similar combination
has not occurred since the year 1857,
and will not recur before 1892. In
extraordinary eclipse years, when
there are seven eclipses in ali, it
is more usual for five to be solar and
only two lunar.
1t is hardly necessary to point out
what magnificent opportunity this
sublime play of celestial shadows,
the moon and the earth exchanging
thrust and riposte with their fulig-
nous swords like gigantic fencers,
while below them humanity is blow
ing itself up with dynamite, affords
for the superstition-mongers, who
seize every such chance to bring back
the clouds that science has partly eX-
PEELED. For hundred persons who
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-01

credulously listen to astrological
Vaccinations based on aspects and
occurrences in the sky, is there one
who reflects that all of these phe-
nomena have long since been proved
to obey laws as simple and as un-
connected with human fates as the
rotations of the wheels of a watch?
The Man Who is Superstitious is
Himself to Blame for His Ignorance.
There are persons who believe that
it is unlucky to pass under a ladder
leaning over a sidewalk, because
somebody has told them so; there
are others who for a similar non-rea-
son will not cross street ahead of a
funeral procession; others who carry
a horse chesnut to keep off rheuma-
tism; others who are thrown into a
shudder if a cross-eyed man happens
to look them in the face, or if a
snake glides across the road ahead
of them The man who is afraid
of the shadow of an eclipse or thinks
that it portends either good or evil
is on the same intellectual level. Ig-
norance puts him there; soothsayers
would keep him there, but it is his
own fault if he remains in that hu-
initiating position.
The moon does not come between
the earth and the sun except in the
regular performance of her duty,
which duty is simply to hold the path
that gravitation prescribes for her.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-01

ing swallows are the intangible
sticks with which the touches are
made in the game of eclipses. The
sun masterfully rushes on through
the field of space, dragging the 9TH
ers after him.
They swing and oscillate at the
end of their ropes, threatening at
times to become hopelessly entan-
gled, but always, nevertheless, keep
ing at proper average distances.
And now the moon reaches the earth
with the point of her slender shadow
stick, and the sun, if he could speak,
might call out: "a hit"
But a moment later Gan astron-
omicai moment) the earth swings in
to line and returns the hit with a
sweep that seems to have annihilated
the little player, until her smiling
face reappears out of the shadow,
eager for another round.
These sky players will tirelessly
continue their shadow frolic as long
as the sun shines, spinning on to-
gether through the illimitable arena
fenced by the starry gonfalons of the
Milky Way, and you can imagine the
guffaw of Olympian laughter with
which they would greet the oracular
announcement of some horoscopist
that they were the slaves of an as
trologer's lamp, condemned to fore
shadow the little terrestrial fates and
fortunes of ephemeral man.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-01

She does not pass into the shadow
of the earth as token that wrath
and misfortune are about to descend
upon any man or nation, but merely
because she cannot avoid the shadow
which lies across her way.
If eclipses sometimes occur with
unusual frequency, it is because the
positions of the moon in space with
reference to the sun and the earth
periodically changes in obedience to
laws that are we'll understood by as
tronomers, as is proved by their
ability to predict all eclipses long in
advance of their occurrence.
There is nothing mysterious or oc-
cult about it. But there is some
thing about it that is immensely in
teresting. 1t has all the fascination
of a great game, played according to
fixed principles, but with certain va
riations allowed which introduce
complications requiring the exercise
of sharp attention, close observation,
knowledge of the rules, and acute
reasoning on the part of the spec
tators who follow it's developments.
We are the spectators, instructed
in the rules; the sun, the moon and
the earth are the players, bound by
regulations that they cannot trans
gress, but permitted to pull and haul
a little for position. Gravitation
furnishes the system of ropes by
which they hold one another. Sway
