THousANps OF THIN. FRAlL
I PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO
a HEALTH by TAKING
TANLAc.
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People Of Prominence and Unques-
toned Integrity Tell What cele-
brated Medicine Has Done
for Them.


~ lures In connection with Tanlac
and the one that stands out more prom
inently than any other, perhaps, Is the
very large number of well-known men
and women from all parts Of the South
who have recently reported astonishing
and rapid increases in weight as re-
suit of Its use.
When so many well-known people
Of unquestioned integrity make state
ment after statement, each corroborat-
ing the other, the truth of such state
ments can no longer be doubted.
, Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have
failed.
One Of the most remarkable cases on
record is that of Mrs. Viola Ives, of 315
Cross street, Little Rock, Ark, whose
statement appears below.
'In May of 1913" said Mrs. Ives, Il
suffered a complete breakdown Of my
nerves and my entire system gave
way. About six weeks afterwards l
was carried to the hospital. / became
perfectly helpless-couldn't move any
part Of my body and just lay there in
bed for five months, not knowing any
thing or anybody. was brought home
in October, 1913, and tried all kinds of
medicine and everything I was told
about.
II read about SO many people get
ting relief by taking Tanlac and my
husband got me bottle. After TAX
ing three bottles I began to feel bet
ter. have taken several bottles OF
Tanlac now and I can walk anywhere
and sleep like a child. When I took
my first dose of Tanlac weighed only
one hundred and twenty-five pounds.
! now weigh one hundred and sixty
two-an actual gain Of forty pounds
since I started on Tanlac."
Texas Man Testifies.
Another remarkable case was that
Of John NJ. Crabtree, general mer-
chant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas,
Tex.
II have actually gained thirty-four
pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and
I now know what it is to enjoy good
health after suffering for twenty
years." said Mr.. Crabtree.
II suffered with catarrh Of the stom-
ach and Indigestion for twenty years
and for eighteen months, before start
ed taking Tanlac, I had to live almost
entirely on cereals. / spent nearly all
of one whole year in bed and was un-
able to do anything at all and I fell
Ir
after using my third bottle Of Tan
lac found I had increased in weight
from 11s pounds to 152 pounds, max
ing an actual gain Of thirty-four
pounds-all my troubles were gone,
and I was feeling like another man."
Captain JEFF D. Riggs, popular Y. &
M. v. engineer, running between Vicks-
burg and New Orleans and residing at
2O2O Pearl Street, Vicksburg, in speak
ing Of his experience with Tanlac.

SHIPMENT OF TOBACCO FOR U. S
TROOPS LOST.

The Young Mems Christian Associ-
atoms shipment of tobacco for the
American troops in France has been
lost. Word came from Paris from
the Red Cross Commission in France,
saying no suitable tobacco to replace
the lost shipments was obtained
there, and urged that ten tons of
tobacco be shipped at once.
The Red Cross War Council imme-
diately accepted an offer of the Lig.
gett & Myers Tobacco Company to
donate 100000 cigarettes, 10000
packages of smoking tobacco and TO-
600 cuts of chewing tobacco, which
will be forwarded to the American
troops at once. France has agreed to
admit the tobacco free Of duty as we'll
as all other articles for the American
soldiers.

CRABS WITH HUMAN FACE.

A crab with a human face is one
of the oddities to be found in Papa
nese waters. Not only that, but the
face is surprisingly like that of a jap
anese warrior in the "old, unhappy,
far off days Of the past" This, face
is formed by the strange f1guration
of the crabs neck. To see one of
the creatures crawling on the sand is
to see what apparently is human
face moving across the beach.
According to japanese history the
nation was beset by plague Of pi-
racy few centuries ago. The coasts
were ravaged, vessels sunk and ter
ror spread generally by marauding
sea rovers. Then the people organ
lied a fleet and set out to extermi-
nate the pirates. A great battle fol-
lowed, in which all of the freebooters
were slain.
At this point legend steps in. 1t is
said that not long after the battle the
first of the crabs appeared. With ad-
vancing years the crabs increased in
numbers until they are quite COM
mon. And not only do they bear the
face of fierce old warrior, but it is
strangely like that of a dead man
who had been drowned. The super
stitious among the natives say that
the souls of the pirates entered into
the forms of the crabs.

CHAMBERLAIN SAYS OPPOSITION
TO DRAFT WORK OF GERMANS

Much of the opposition to the draft

clared Senator Chamberlain, chair

PAINTING BRIDGES WHITE.

This interesting item recently ap-
peared in Service Bulletin of Iowa:
"A Tama county bridge on the Lin
coin Highway in the Indian Reserva-
ton and over the Iowa River is
painted white. People who cross this
bridge at night who are accustomed
to the black or red bridges of the
majority of Iowa counties, are struck
with the ease with which the outlines
of the bridge are noted. AS matter
of highway safety it would seem to
be good thing to paint bridges
white. The same color should prevail
on guard rails erected on fills and at
dangerous turns where such safe
guards are erected. In South Dakota
it is becoming a customary practice
in some sections to paint all bridges
white"

Eye of Varying Degrees of Bright

Gently, DR.. James Kerr, of the public
health department of the London
County Council, referred to some ef-
fects which may be surprising. Hav-
ing to examine long lists of figures
in blick type, he tried to facilitate his
task by drawing vertical and hori-
zontal lines in red ink, but the diff
ferent focusing of the black and red
strained his eye and gave him a
headache, which did not trouble him
when all the figures and lines were
either black or red. DR.. Kerr ques-
lions whether a target is more dis
tinct when brilliantly illuminated
white disk appears on a dead black
background than when the surround
ings were diffusely illuminated.

WHEAT THRESHING ABOUT COM.
PLETED.

Farmers report that the threshing
OF wheat is practically completed in
Bourbon county, and that the yield
is very satisfactory. Millers and far
mers say the quality of the grain this
year is good and that it weighs heav-
Ter than last year.
The acreage was trif1e smaller
this year, but the production is larg.
er. The yield ranged from ten to
forty bushels per acre, the average
being from from ten to twenty-five
bushels per acre.
Paris millers are still offering $2.35
per bushel for wheat, but the amount
sold on the market continues to be
small. Much brought in is stored
and only a comparatively small
amount is placed on the market for
sale.

THE SIXTH SENSE.

Human beings have a real sixth
sense, says science, in the shape of
sense of equilibrium. This sense
is coming in for much intensive study
to-day, because it is probably the
most important qualification for a
successful aviator. 1t has been found
to reside in the three tiny canals in
the inner ear. These three canals
are located in the bone Of the skull,
and are filled with liquid in which
nerve filaments from the auditory
nerve terminate. In some way not
yet clearly understood, through
these canals and nerves, the individ-
ual can tell, without being able to
see or feel, just how nearly upright
his position is. The sense is much
more keenly developed in some peo-
pie than in others.

FIENDISH WORK OF DEVILS IN
HUMAN FORM.

British medical officers are trying
to determine the nature of the new
poison used, it is believed, for the
first time by the Germans on the
French town of Armentieres, near
the Belgian frontier. The poison bore
certain resemblance to the gas
which temporarily blinded a large
number of British troops fortnight
ago, but it's effects are infinitely more
serious.
A number of persons taken from
Armentieres are in grave condition.
Many have died in hospitals at
Hazebrouck, Aire-on-the-Lye, and
particularly at st. Pol-on-the-Teroniz
where more of the victims were
taken.
The first time the new poison was
observed it conceded with the firing
into the town of hail of small
shells of a caliber insufficient to
break the paving. These contain
neither powder nor gas, but color
less liquid which spreads over the
soil. In the streets and in court
yards and gardens, where the shells
burst, traces of the noxious liquids
may be found hours afterward.
AS the liquid evaporates it pro-
duces a heavy gas, which penetrates
from room to room and descends
into cellars. 1t is tenacious in char
acter and seems to make more vic
Tins among women than men, clos
ing about their hair. The fumes of
tobacco seem to act as an antidote
in the case of men.
The odor is variously described as
resembling that of acetylene, mig
nonette or pungent mustard. It's eff
fects are not imminent. Some in
habitants of Armentieres who in
hailed the emanations in the fore
noon returned home without expert
encing any ill effects and took
luncheon, but five or six hours later
they were obliged to take to bed,
and their condition became rapidly
worse.
The victims at first were affected
in the bronchial tubes, then their
eyes swelled and eventually they lost
their sight. These symptoms were
accompanied by feeling of burn
ing inside and an incessant cough
and fever. The skin turned an
earthly color and in several cases
death followed rapidly. Occasion
ally, in addition to the symptoms
mentioned, the victims were af-
fected by terrible Authorizations and
delirious laughter.

and prizes from $50 down for tobacco

other farm and kitchen products will

LINES BEING TIGHTENED ON
MARRIED MEN.

The district draft boards have re-
ceived instructions regarding marri-
ed men who are filing claims for
draft exemption. 1t is indicated that
the rules are being frightened to pre-
vent married men, with only fiimsy
excuses, from being exempted.
The rules show that If the wife is
not entirely dependent upon his men
tai or physical labor; if she has rel
atives who will support her, If he has
an independent income, the married
man must not be exempted. IL a wire
can live on rentals from property
owned by the husband, he must serve.
If his employer offers to pay his sal
airy or enough of it to support the
wife, during the husbands absence,
that husband must serve his country.

NEAR PERPETUAL MOTION

A German inventor has perfected a
clock which seems to be the nearest
thing to perpetual motion that has sc
far been devised. The clock gets its
power from revolving shaft which
is impelled by wheel, whose spokes
are capped with hollow glass balls.
Each ball is covered with cloth and
contains little ether. AS the wheels
revolve, the lower balls are dipped
in water. The balls that are out of
water are cooled by evaporation
from the damp cloth. This cooling
condenses the ether, which runs down
in such a way as to disturb the
equilibrium of the system and turn
the wheel over.

different from that governing the con-

Germany or other nations in forcing
men into ranks of the army. In the
regulations governing the mobiliza-
ton Of selected men in their home
districts for transportation to the
environments, the President has urg-
ed every precaution>to dispel the no
ton of enforced or unwilling service.
These regulations, approved by the
President, were announced Friday

HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH

The imperative need for an album
dant food supply this year demands
an increase in pork production. All
the agricultural authorities unite in
declaring that the livestock holdings
of farmers already are too low and
that they mus: not be reduced further
in order to obtain greater yields OF
staple crops. Fortunately this is not
necessary. HOG raising can be OK
tended in many sections of the coun-
try where 1t is now of little impor-
tance. and the total supply OF human
food increased accordingly.
-, At the present time large part of
our pork comes from the few States
in the corn belt. where ii is the COM
mon belief that hog raiSerS possess
advantages that farmers in other sec
tions lack. This, however, is not al
together true. The South. the east.
and the extreme west possess advan-
tages OF their own and there is no
reason why the industry should not
be developed extensively in those re-
gions.
The South has an abundance of vegc-
taton. Cowpcas. soy beans. velvet
beans, and peanuts are leguminous
crops which do we'll there and have
great value in pig raising. Corn
grows rapidly in all parts OF the South
and in the subtropical sections the
experience OF feeders with casSara in
dicates that IL has considerable value
for pork production. In addition, there
is generally an abundant water sup
