\. ". ST. JOHN.

Ten years ago today. January 23, i907. lhe word was flashed to Mena that just at the close of an address to the state llortieul- tural Society at clarkesyille, \, W. st. Johns heart had ceased to beat. The end of his earthly existence had come to him ac- cording to his oft expressed wish, while he was vet busy engaged in the work that he loved
 Energetic, strong of mind, ihc life of A. W. St. John was guided most by his heart To love was his strongest impulse, and in tha; love his own family. his personal friends and humanity were equally important, and, looking back, we are sure today that, as his spirit is never more joyous because. of any kind thing said of him on earth than of the fine sentiment expressed by a friend of many years:

NEW POLK coUTY SALARY BILL

The announcement that a bill in- tr0giaeed by Senator Ben Johnston, increasing the salaries Of the coun- iy clerk, circuit clerk and sherin of Polls county to 5000 a year, had passed the senate. created liltle special interest locally in the doings If the legislaiors in Little Rock. and from the general expressions on the streets the measure promised to be very unpopular.
 The next phase of the situation was the arrival of word that Repre- sentative Burnett had practically killed the bill by a motion that ac- ton on it be indefinitely postponed.
 The Sunday mails brought to The Star new salary bill for this coun- | ty, offered by MT. Burnett, which in effect modified the Johnston bill and added thereto a provision increas- ing the duties of the county judge and increasing his salary from si ,00O per year to si,50o. This bill is printed in full in this issue.
 In a letter Mir. Burnett requests that, in his behalf, the bill be print ed, in order that any criticism might be offered in time.

 Mir. Burnett asks The Star to say for him that he turned down Sem ator Johnston's bill becouse it was
 too great raise in salaries, and was discriminating in it's nature" He
 says, further, that his (Burnett's) bill is endorsed by Mir. Johnston aud will be put thru the Senate by him. 1 The columns of The Star are Eopen for any discussion of this quos- ! tion, or, more particularly, the new plii now ptIvre the peupic.

ARKANSAS WOMAN GAINED 20 POUNDS
Her Health Is Restored hy Tanlae After Three Years of Suffering
 Could Hardly Walk.

One of the strongest and most convincing evidences of the wonder fu results being accomplished throughout the south is the large number of letters that are being re- ceiyed daily from scores Of well known men and women who have been benefited by it's use.
 Among the large number that have been received in the past few days, none are more interesting than the following letter from Mr. L. c. Alderman of the Rison Drug Company, Rison, Ark, which is self explanatory:
 "Rison. Ark, Dec. 6, 1916. Mr. c. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
 Dear Sir: l am enclosing hero with statement that l obtained from one of my good Tanlac GUS toners this morning. The case that Mr. Frank Cuthbertson of Clio, Ark, reports of his mother, is a very re- markable one, as she had not been able Co do anything Co speak of for several years, while now she can walk g mile with little inconyen- ience There are a number of re marAable eases in my locality One or my hest friends has used seven bottles of FanIae and shows gain of twenty-two pounds and has q very extravagant appetite.
 Yours truly,
 Signed1 I.. C. ACkERMAN.
 AIr Cuihberson's statement re- eaFding his mothers experience with Tanlae is as follows Ny mother has taken five bottles of TanIac and has actually gained fif- teen OF twenty pounds, never saw such a change in anybody in all my life as Tanlac has made in her. About three years ago she happened to hard fall which left her all run down and very weak. She suffered with rheumtism most of the time and her feet would swell and hurt her so she wasn't able to get about not even to walk around in the house. think her troubles were all caused by the fall and she just suf- fered nearly all the time and kept losing weight until she got to talk ing Tanlac.
 Why, mother commenced to show improvement almost as soon as she started on Tanlac. Her appe- tlte got better and she began io pick up in weight and get stronger. She IS sixty-fiVe years old now and it certainly is wonderful what Tanlac has done for her. She can walk any reasonable distance by herself now and she's in better health than have seen her in six years. I simply can't tell you how proud we all are .of Tanlac and how we appreciate what it has done for mother"
