LITTLE GIRL NOW PLAYS LIKE
OTHERS.
Capt. T. M. Harrell Says Tanlac Gave
His Child Health.

1T wouldn't be doing right not to
tell you what your medicine has done
for our little girl" said Captain T. M.
Harrell, of Atlanta, conductor on the
Seaboard Air Line for 25 years and
one of the most popular men in the
service.
She's IL years Old" he continued,
"and she has been little sufferer all
her life-weak, puny, nervous, no ap.
petite, no control over her kidneys and
had headaches almost all the time.
THE child never was strong, even
from the cradle, and when she got a
little older and would try to play with
the older children and was too weak
to romp and keep up with them, it
just didn't seem right, for she seemed
so anxious to be with them and do as
they did 1t made me mighty sad and
brought many big lump into my
throat to see her that way, and some
how | never could get used to it.
There was nothing on earth too
good for her, and we did everything
we could think of to try and rid her of
the pains and weakness and make her
like other children; but nothing seem
ed to do her any gooda
ut has always been a great worry
to get something for her to eat that
would agree with her, and it was a
disheartening job, too, for almost
everything would give her heartburn

first one thing after another, and
when everything would fail we would
feel disheartened and helpless.

was helping so many women and ell

the matter didn't see why it wouldn't t

thing.
II just can't tell you how much good
it has done her for she seems like a
different child, She's picking up
weight and strength right along, has

A GOOD LAW.

The bill providing for a selective
draft for army service Of all men be
tween twenty-one and thirty has be-
come law and registration will be
accomplished June 5. AS some 10,-
100000 men are liable to service,
but only 100000 will at first be con-
scripted, and as it has been emphati.
cally announced that service on the
farm and railroads and in the facto-
ries is just as necessary as in the
army, it is understood that the men
who are properly employed in these
occupations will be encouraged to re-
main and will be regarded with the
same honor as that which is accorded
to soldiers. 1t is to be hoped that the
government will so conduct the draft
as to fulfill the expectation thus awak-
ened. There are many unemployed
men and others in occupations which
do not materially contribute to the
maintenance of the nation on a war
footing. Certainly they should be first
called out. Then the Federal govern
ment, or if it cannot do it, the State
governments should pass and enforce
laws to require all able.bodied men
to be employed. The non-producer,
the profitless consumer, should not
be permitted to live as a parasite on
society. Even in the piping days of
peace such men are handicaps to pro-
gress. They are undesirables, and
should be eliminated In our easy
going past under laissez,faire theory
we have tolerated "slackers;" but new
conditions demand a change. The
ease-loving shirk should be compelled
to support himself or be expatriated.
Let our new law be rigidly and fairly
enforced and it will prove to be the
tonic needed to arouse some men to
sense of duty. Lessons of great value
may be learned through the emergen-
cies of war-Arkansas Methodist.

THE FARM ON A BUSINESS BASIS

Farmers who lament the exodus
from the farms to the cities may be
surprised al being told that they them
selves are largely to blame. yet such
is the case They are at fault. in that
til. have failed to deal with hired
help and renters on a business basis,
Let us illustrate:
Mr.. Thompson, who owns a large
farm, takes John Smith as his hired
help and installs him and his family
in a tenant house on the estate. He
! agrees to give Smith his house rent,
garden, truck patch, fire wood and
COW pasture, with perhaps other "fa-
vors,' together with a very moderate
wage for time actually put in at
work. Generally speaking, this wage
is somewhere around dollar a day in
some sections of the country more.
Smith works for year. He puts in
possibly two hundred and fifty days.
At the end of that time he takes stock
of his earnings, and right at this point
is where the trouble comes. Smith
can see nothing for his years work
but $3.50. He has come to regard the
other items in the contract as free
favOrs," and consequently values them
lightly. He hears of his neighbor,
Tom Jones, who has gone to town or
the city and is making good wages
$500 to $3.50 a day. His own earn.
ings look too puny to suit him, and to
town he goes, only to find that for the
free favOrs" he has valued so lightly
in the country, the best part of his
earnings in town must be paid. How.
ever, he has made the move, and rath.
er than be classed as unstable or un-
reliable, in town he stays.
If Mr.. Thompson, in contracting
with Smith, had said plainly your
house rent is worth so much per
month, your fire wood so much per
cord, your COW pasture so much" and
so on through the list of ''favors," the
whole matter would have worn a very
different aspect, and Smith would
have seen that instead of being hard
his lot was very easy one.
When the employer and help on the
farms learn to place their dealings on
a sensible business basis a big i'm
provement will be the result, and
more men will stay on the farm.
