CAN NOW EAT POP
CORN AND BANANAS
MRS. MYSTERIOUS SAYS HER
LITTLE DAUGHTER WAS AL
WAYS DELICATE UNTIL SHE
BEGAN TAKING TANLAC.

I'm certainly very thankful fol
what Tanlae has done for my little
daughter" said Mrs. j. P. West
brooks, who lives at 26O8 Thirtieth
avenue, North Birmingham. MY
daughter, Ansel, who is eleven years
OF age, has been a sufferer from in
digestion and pains in her shoulders
and in her chest for long, long
time; in fact, all her life. We have
tried many doctors and most every
thing we could hear of, but they did
not bring her any relief.
She was so nervous and unstrung
and so rundown that / don't believe
she could have gone through the win
ter. She couldn't eat hardly any
thing at all, and it was pitiful to see
her IN that condition, and to think,
too, that we had done everything we
could without any benefits from it.
Especially In the summer months she
would get in very rundown condi-
ton, and would lose weight, and you
can see that she hasn't any too much
weight to lose.
Il had read in the papers about
Tanlac, and neighbor who had TAX
en- 1t insisted that l get bottle and
give it to Ansel. After a lot of per-
suasion l bought a bottle put her
right on it, and it looked like from
the first half bottle that it was the
very thing she had needed. She was
taken three bottles now, and l am
certainly thankful for what it has
done for her. She sleeps just as well
as could be at night, and eats every
thing she wants. She was eating pop
corn and bananas yesterday, and
they did not seem to have any bad
effect on her at all. She has gained
a little in weight, and l believe that
now she is eating and the food seems
to thoroughly agree with her that
she will gain steadily.
'She does not seem to be bit ner-
vous, and doesn't object to taking
the Tanlac one bit She is Just as
bright and cheerful as she can be.
and it has made US all mighty happy
about her recovery, and we are glad
to recommend Tanlac as being the
medicine that has done what lots of
other medicines failed to do. l am
glad to say good word for it, and
tell others of it's merits"
Miss Ansel Westbrooks was in the
room at the time, and remarked: eff
| had a thousand dollars l would
spend it all for Tanlac, because feel
so good and eat anything | want and
can sleep so good and sound at
night"

PARTISANS VERY LIKELY

CROP CONDITIONS ARE
BETTER THAN IN YEARS
COTTON is PROMISING DESPITE
THE BOIL WEEVIL. OTHER
CROPS IN GOOD SHAPE.

According to reports all South
Georgia crops this season are in
about the best condition that they
have been in many years. From
every section come reports of an out
look which is better than anything
known in recent years and on every
hand are heard predictions of record
breaking yields.
Every farmer who is growing cot
ton this year is very much encour-
aged over the outlook. The depart
ment of agriculture of Georgia and
of the United States sent experts to
this section and arranged various
meeting of farmers to advise with
them regarding the best way to fight
the weevil. These meetings were we'll
attended and the farmers showed a
desire to learn everything they could
about the most approved methods of
fighting the pest, and after they had
been told they went to their farms
and practiced what had been preach
ed. This, in the opinion of men who
have gone over the situation, is re-
sponsible in large measure for the
splendid cotton crop which now ap-
pears certain for this section.
. Work That Helped Crop.
Rapid cultivation, picking up the
first fallen squares, proper fertiliza-
ton and the selection of early ma
turing seed are the main points which
experts give as reasons for the I'M
usually fine cotton crop.
Farmers who have lived in this
section for many years say that the
outlook this year is as good as they
have ever seen it, despite the weevil
Not only is cotton doing remark.
ably well but the corn crop in this
section is the largest ever known. A
larger acreage has been planted to
corn this season than has ever been
devoted to the crop before and from
indications at this time the yield is
going to be better than usual. 1t is
predicted that this section will have
corn to sell this year.
Peanuts are also very much in evil
dence this season and they are fine
Velvet beans, peas, sorghum anC
other such crops have been planted
in larger acreage than ever before
and every one of the crops is in az
good shape as anyone could wish.

THE GERMAN BIRTHRATE
BEEN GREATLY REDUCED
Last Year Showed a Total Decline
of 114,557.

A"SN ASaT ShoWG0 a Ota1 OecIInG
of 114,557.
A M S T ERDAM, Netherlands
Apart from the inroads made upon
Germany's male population by the
war. the check to the natural renew
al of her people is making itself
very sharply felt. The provisional
birth statistics for 1916 show very
clearly what a shrinkage will be evil
dent in the German army levies for
these years of war, assuming that
the emperor, or at least his military
system, have not disappeared from
the German empire before the time
for their calling up comes round.
The official statistics which re-
late to German towns of $4,000 and
more inhabitants, show that the
number of infants born alive in
such towns decreased by 1906 in
1915 as compared with 1914, and
that in 1916 they again declined by
114,557, making total decrease be-
tween the beginning of 1915 and the
end of 1916 of 245,625, or 39.5 per
SCAC' vi JHS humber OF Ine living
births recorded in the year 1914.
This percentage almost entirely ac-
cords with the decrease percentage
in the absolute number of such births
recorded in the &c largest German
cities, which are separately tabulat-
ed.
1t is clear that such a decline in
the number of births can by no
means be counterbalanced by the
simultaneous decrease shown in the
mortality rate of infants under one
year old, although this is relatively
somewhat greater than the shrink
age shown in the number of births.
The mortality rate of infants under
one year old, measured by COMPARE
son with the number of births, has
continuously declined since the wear
1914. In the 26 largest German
cities the rate Of such infant NOR
tally, as compared with births, fell
from 1873 in the year 1914 to 1870
in 1916, while in all German towns
OF $4,000 or more inhabitants it de-
cllned in the same period from 15.5
to 1873.
AS the German press emphasizes
with legitimate satisfaction, the rate
OF infant mortality in the war year
1916 was lower even than in the
year 1912, when it stood at 14.1,
hitherto a record low rate.

SYSTEM
OF RURAL LIBRARIES
GIVES COUNTRY PEOPLE SAME
ACCESS TO BOOKS AS TO
CITY RESIDENTS.

One of the most important bills be-
fore this session of the general as
sembly, affecting the state as whole,
is the bill providing for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to be spent by the
Georgia state library commission in
establishing and maintaining a system
of circulating or travelling libraries
for the rural communities of the
state. This bill has been endorsed by
the Georgia state federation of wo-
mems clubs of which Mrs. Nellie Pc
tiers Black is president, and by the
Georgia library association of which
Chancellor Barrow of the University
of Georgia is president.
If this bill is passed it will mean
that any rural community in the
state can have the loan of so or more
books on any subjects desired for
period of three to six months, and
at the end of that time can exchange
this collection for another SO books.

purpose of this bill is to give the peo-
pie living in the country the same

list in the towns.

Says Drink Water If You
Wish to Grow Fat and Plump
THIN MEN AND WOMEN.
Do You Want to Get Fat and
Be Strong?

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stutfing it with greasy foods, rub
bling on useless "flesh creams" or
following some foolish physical Gull
ture stunt, while the real cause of
thinness goes untouched. You can
not get fat until your digestive tract
properly assimilates the food you
eat. Drink a glass of cold water
four or five times a day and take the
following preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere,
which seemingly embodies the miss
ing elements needed by the digestive
organs to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This prepare
ton is called Tonoline, and much re-
markable testimony is given as to
its successful use in flesh building.
Tonoline which comes in the form of
a small non-injurious tablet, taken
at meals and mixed with the digest
ing food, tends to prepare fat, flesh
and muscle building elements so that
