Ihe United States army re-
Icruiting officers are now here
for the purpose of giving the
volunteers, and any others who
wish to join the army, the first
examination. All those who have
signed please report to the re-
lcruiting office, in the old; Reed
grocery building, on the corner
lof Sixth and Erie streets. The
Iofficers will be ready to examine
you at any time of the day and up,
until ten o'clock at night. After
the company has been examined,
these officers will report to the
war department the names of
those who are acceptable and
then they will ask for special
permission from the war depart
ment to assign them all to the
same company. 1t is therefore
VERY important that all enlist
NOW, because it will be impos-
sible to enlist after the company
leaves, and therefore you will be.
unable to soldier with your own
| friends.
Remember that if the war de-
partment does not grant our re-
quest for all to be assigned to
The same company, we are in no
way held to any responsibility,
and the examination will not be
considered.
The members of the Company
will meet at the old high school
building at seven O'Clock this eve
ming. and from there will go to
the recruiting office to be ex-
lamined. FRANK G. BURKE,

The Real Searet of
 Rejuvenating the Face

She holds true secret of facial re- juvenation who has learned how to re- move the dead skin particles as fast as they appear. It's a secret anyone may ; possess. The aged, faded or discolored surface skin may be gradually absorb. ed, in an entirely safe and rational manner, by the nightly application of ordinary mercolized wax. Within a week or two the underlying skin, youthful and beautiful to behold, has taken the nlace of the discarded cuti- cle. So little of the old skin is ab- sorbed each day there's no inconven- fence at all. and no one suspects you are putting anything on yeur face. The mereolized wax, procurable at any drugstore tan ounce is sufficiently, is applied like cold cream. In the morn ing it is erased with soap and water. It's the hest thing known for free kles. blaekheads, pimples, moth patch es, liver spots and fine surface wrin- kles.
 For the deeper wrinkles and crow feet an excellent and harmless recipe is: Powdered saxolite, one ounce, dis solved in one-half pint witchhazel. Bathing the face in the solution pro- duces quick and wonderful results. It is fine for saggy cheeks or chin.--Adv.

COTTON ACREAGE
 IN SOME SMALLER,
 CONDITION LOWER
Commercial Appeal First Statement on Crop Shows
 Effects of Weather.

The Memphis Commercial Appeals first cotton condition report of the year was issued yesterday morning the report showing decrease of 3.2 per cent in acerage and condition of 72.7 of normal.
 The summary of the report, and the summaries of the condition in each of the cotton states are as follows:
 Owing to 9 variety of causes, there has been falling eff in the acreage planted to cotton compared to last year. This decrease is estimated by The Commercial Appeal at 3.2 per cent.
 The conditions compared to normal is 72.7 per cent, according to reports of average date of May 23. This compares with 77.5 on May 25, last year. and 2 low record for this date of 70.5, made in 1907
 The government campaign for in- creased food production has been a considerable factor in the decreased acreage. Other influences are, fear of boil weevil damage scarcity of labor and lack of financial backing in sec tions of Mississippi, Alabama and Southern Georgia, damaged by weevil and storm last year, and the rcplsnt- ing made necessary by cold weather early in May, when much of the acre age originally planted to cotton was reseeded to food crops.
 The crop received a very severe blow from the cold weather of May l to 15. Up until that time progress was about normal and the outlook ex- cellcnt. The cold weather caused seed to rot in the ground and plants where up, to die, necessitating heavy replant- ing from North Carolina to Texas. Much of this replanting has not come up and there is left an element of doubt concerning the stands. Any further replanting would be imprac- ticable, owing to scarcity of seed and the lateness of the season. However, rains at the end of the period under review placed more hopeful aspect on the situation.
 Where cotton is up from the first planting stands are not good as rule, and the plant is small ard sickly. Texas and Oklahoma suffered somewhat less than other sections of the belt, and the outlook in those states may be called good. A few boil weevil have been seen in some sections of infected areas.
 Complaints of labor shortage are not general, but there are many of them. and in some cases the shortage is said to be severe. Georgia and the Caro- linas have used slightly more ferti- lizers than last year, but it's value to cotton is said to be inferior.
 Warmer weather is the chief dcsi- deratum for the proper progress of the crop.

TWO YEARS IN BED
 AND ROLLING CHAIR
Mrs. Wilson Says She Had Given Up All Hope Gains 25 Pounds on Tan lac and Is Now a Well Woman.

"For two years 1 spert all my time either in the hospital, in bed CT in a rollino chair, and during that time was given up to die, and l don't guess I would behere now if it hadn't been for Tanlac," said Mrs. E. o. Will son. Mrs. Wilson is well known in Atlanta, her husband having been eln. ployed by The Constitution for num- br of years.
 "I was great sufferer from chronic indigestion" continued Mrs. Wilson "and don't guess anybody ever had to go through with what l did 1 was very weak and nervous, and at times had those dreadful smohthering sen- sations to the point of fainting. I had dreadful headaches, severe pains in my back and over my kidneys, and my joints ached all the time. For two years I had to live entirely on boiled milk, toast and soft boiled eggs, and even that didn't digest well, and would sour on my stomach. l didn't know what it was to get a good nights sleep. l took ore kind of medicine after an other until our house was almost filled with empty bottles, but insteal of inn proving l was getting worse all the time. Finally they took me to the hos pital for treatment, and lay there fo" five long months, but even that didn't make mo we'll. It was taking nearly every cent of my husbands wages to pay my doctor and drug .bills-our drug bill alone amounted to $14 or S15 month, and one doctor bill amounted to $108.
 "It looked like everything had fail ed to help me, and had about given up all hope when ono day my hus- band brought bottle of Tanlac home with him and asked me to takcit. He said he had been reading and hearing a lot of good things about it, and did not see any reason why it shouldn' t help me. was confined to my rolling chair when I began taking i5.
 Do l look like an invalid now? certainly don't feel like one. and I have actually gained twenty-five (23) pounds on eleven bottles of Tanlac and feel as we'll as I ever did in my life. I can eat anything I want-such things as meat, turnips, hard boiled eggs don't hurt me particle, and sleep as good as did when I was q girl in my teens. can get about as well as anybody and Just the 0 .iler day I walked down town. and I anl running around the neighborhood call ing on my friends nearly all the time now. I haven't pain about me. I believe I am thchappiest woman in Atlanta. and think have right to be. think my recovery is almost a miracle. and everybody in our neigh borhood thinks the same"
