do NOT BUTCHER THE
YOUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, in Spite Of the Present
High Prices.

The prices obtainable for cattle and
hogs at the present time offer a great
temptation to sell, even the female
stock, that is hard to overcome. And
yet IL we give a little thought to the
future, ones better judgment would
certainly suggest the retention of
sufficient number of the younger fe-
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet the demand for next year
at least, IL not for longer.
The writer is led to make this sug
gestion from information received
that great numbers of cattle and hogs
are being sent out of the state, ire
spective of sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them. There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is it going to count" il oul
stockmen dispose of their female
foundation and afterwards find out
when too late that they have deprived
themselves Of the necessary females
TO breed from and are short of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be Just as high. if not higher?
II this practice is persisted in it Is
going to result in shortage of meal
animals when they may be needed
even more than at the present time
In other words, it is not going to con
serve the meat supply nor is it ulti
mately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
II may be all right to get rid Of q
reasonable number of the old and un
profitable female stuff, but there
should be rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock If we hope tc
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the future demands for meat
animals viii h seems not only the
common sense proposition, but pa
triotic and profitable one.-W. Fl

Science, Louisiana State University.

Long Struggle Now
.NearS End, She Says
I'm Thousand Times Better Than
I've Been In IA Years After taking
Tanlac."


1--WE had long, hard struggle
with ill health, but by the help of
Tanlac | have found relief at
LAST, said Mrs. Benito Ramos,
residing at 514 South Cambell
street, Ell Paso, Texes, recently.
u had rheumatism and stom-
ach trouble so bad for fourteen
years that my life was misera-
ble", she continued, "but I'm a
thousand times better since | be-
gan taking Tanlac, and med
icine that is doing so much for
suffering people can't be praised
too much. I've spent lots of
money trying to get some ease,
ard it certainly seems remark
able, but it's the truth. a few
bottles of Tanlac has done me
more real good than everything
else | ever took combined.
when l first began taking it
| couldn't eat anything without
it hurting me. Any of the heavy
Or more nourishing foods would
lay like a rock in my stomach,
and even liquid diets, at times
would sour on my stomach and
fill me with pain. Every Joint
I'm my body ached with rheuma-
tism, and besides this, the small
of my back hurt me dreafully and
my kidneys worried me constant
ly. l was fearfully nevous and
when | fell asleep at night the
least noise would wake me in a
fright and cause me to almost
jump cut of bed, was a very
sick woman and was almost in
despir.
What caused me to take Tan
lac was the advice of a friend
and now I'm talking Tanlac every
chance l get. can eat just any
thing / want and enjoy it and
never feel the slightest bad eff
fects from it. / sleep fine every
night, and as to my rheumatism,
it is so much better that / hard
ly notice it any more. My hus-
band says he can tell from my
locks that have gained several
pounds in weight. / don't know
whether have or not, as / hav-
emit weighed, but do know my
increase in health and strength
has been wonderful. Pm still
improving every day and it's a
pleasure to tell others about the
medicine that has done so much
so much for me"
Tanlac is sold in Colfax, ex-
clusively by Dixie Pharmacy, in
Selma by Selma Drug Co.. in
Pollock by Pollock Drug Co.. and
in Packton by E. M. Melton and

Do You Ever Eat Crabs?
Would You Like to Buy Them Two for Cent? Cut This
Out and Mail 1t to Hoover.

Here's short story told by one of The Washington
Times printers
BE went fishing for crabs and other things yesterday at
Rock Point Md professional fisherman in short time
caught and half barrels of crabs and pulled for the
shore Why don't you fill your boat?" asked the printer.
You could easily get barrels of these crabs in day.
couldn't you?"
The fisherman said he might get twenty barrels but
vealed these interesting facts:
The crabs there and is easy enough to catch them
But on the shore gentlemen interested IN KEEP
ING UP CRAB PRICES.
By gentlemens agreement-worthy OF Washington
Street Car fisherman matter how many crabs
he catches sell than two barrels to the dealers in
one day. This keeps DOWN THE SUPPLY OF CRABS
AND KEEPS UP THE PRICE.
Figures also may interest you. The who catches
these crabs is paid dollar and half for barrel holding
three hundred crabs.
How much do you pay for crabs when you buy them?
Can you get them fresh and in good condition two for
cent for cent? One crab for cent would allow
hundred per cent profit for the taking the crab from
the fisherman and handing it to you.
We hope the Board of Food Control will suggest
"Crabess Day. without investigating the possibility Of
having plenty of crabs every day Incidentally we learn
that distinguished State legislator is interested in this crab
gentlemsns agreement He should go to the Senate and
shake hands with of the statesmen that cannot bear to
