Il was in all awful condition

the emphatic statement of MRS.
D. J. BURG1N, of Greer, S. c.,
in a statement she gave May 10th
in endorsement of Tanlac. Il was
suffering from the after effects Of
malaria. My system was out of
order, I was weak and run down
and my face was as yellow as a
pumpkin. My feet and legs felt
like they were dead or sleep and
tingled all the time. Really l had
begun to wonder if ever / would re-
gain my health and I didn't think l
had a chance, for so much smedi-
cine had failed to help me-. In
fact, | felt so badly that l often
told my family at night I hoped
there would be 20 stove in the house
in the morning 80 | would not have
to cook breakfast. l had stomach
trouble very badly, too.
"Tanlac is the grandest thing in
the world for a condition like |
was in, and it soon got my stomach
in good shape, my face cleared up
and regained the right color and
my appetite soon came back. No
matter how bad a headache l had,
one dose of Tanlac relieved it.
Soon the Tanlac had me feeling
fine and strong, and after I had
taken two bottles / was well and
strong. 1 took some of the Tanlac
Tablets and they helped Tanlac ever
80 much to get me well. Those
tablets are the best | ever took.
l am glad to recommend Tanlac,
for it the first and, of course, the
only medicine that ever helped

 The Quality of Stock
 Yes. The test IS in the contest Thousands of poultrymen do not know the fine points of thoroughbred stock Most of them care little for such points. They therefore mongreize their fowls. There is no incentive to work toward a standard type. They therefore drift. Their ideals are left to drag along on low gear. There is no compe tition, and therefore there is no life in their business.
 The man who has decided to exhibit at the next show is different. He has sighted game. He has race to win. He is to face an antagonist. There is to be competition for high stakes and he has entered.

Arthur Hunt Chute, in Leslies
 Life on the firing line is not, as some suppose round of endless fighting. Trench warfare, the same as open war fare is a series of battles interspersed with periods of calm.
 Often the calm is deepest just before the storm. The darkness of the night may enfold the battle front with no sound but the whispering winds and no sight but the twinkling stars. The mind of the sentry from the mood of the hour may be lost in thoughts of home and love. Suddenly, without any warning, the profound peace of the night is broken. There is muffled rumbiing, followed by a reverberating roar. and where mo- ment before there was peaceful trench a ghastly crater now yawns out of which come fire and smoke and the groans of dying men.
 The enemy has sprung a mine, the most deadly and nsidious form of attack in modern warfare. There Is wide open gap in our defense. The men on the right and left Hanks of the crater are dazed from the concussion. In a mo- ment the foe will be at hand with bombs and bayonets to occupy the crater

 We have passed beyond the play period in poultry exhibits It is serious business today. Not that the freaks and the pets are neglected. But the sweeping and central purpose of the modern poultry show Is to place in comparison and com petition hundreds of the finest specimens of thoroughbred utility stock. The rest is largely on the side.
 We have to thank the showroom Tor those powerful waves of interest in the breeding of better poultry that have swept over the land during the last decade and more. As a quickener of interest there is nothing that can con- pare with the public exhibit Like the horse show and the cattle show, the poultry show is an annual roundup of the best we have in order that we may have better next year.

 As table fowl the Rouen duck Is highly esteemed. The meat is fine fla vored, surpassing that of most other breeds, but because the Rouen does not grow so fast as the Pelin, the latter breed is preferred by those who grow ducks for market
