I'm taking n forty-mlle trip to get

statement made by j. ID. Hawkins. a

"Yes, sir" he continued. II live ut

enough Of what l think about IL.
II declare I never saw or heard Of n
medicine doing as much good as this
Tanlnc has done my wife. She has ac-
tually gained fifteen pounds on three
bottles Of II and besides IL has re-
lieved her OF troubles that have been
weakening her DOM for nearly twenty
yenrs. She suffered with indigestion
and everything she would eat made
gas and gave her severe pains In the
stomach. She had no appetite nj oil
and suffered with nervous headaches
until she couldn't sleep ut night. She
was so tired all the time that she
couldn't do any Of her housework ut
oil. ! was just about to give up In
despair, for we had tried everything
we could get hold Of, when ! read
about Tanlac and got n bottle for her.
WELL, sir, she has taken three bot.
ties so far and her improvement has
Just been wonderful and that's the rem
o am making this trip, because l
don't want her To be without Tanlac.
She can do all her own Homework now
and Is relieved Of the indigestion and
has n good appetite. Her nerves are
quiet and the headaches are all gone
and she can sleep well at night. She
is gaining In health and strength all
the time and the neighbors are all
talking about how much better she
looks.
~ certainly do indorse Tnnlnc, for
after what II has done for my wife, I
believe II Is the best medicine in the
world"

Forerunner of Christmas.

The spirit of merrymaking that marks our Christmas holidays had it's origin with the Roman feast called the Saturnalia. This was a festival in honor of Saturn, father of the gods. It lasted for a week or two, beginning about the 10th of December, and was the occasion for great revelry among all classes. No business was transact ed during this period, war was sus- pended, private feuds were forgotten or forgiven, and general good fellow ship reigned supreme. Friends ex- changed presents with one another. and the slaves were waited upon by their masters and mistresses.

SACRED MlSTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies of great solemnity used to collect mistletoe with a golden sickle against the festival of winter solstice." Only the oaks bear ing mistletoe were sacred to this an eient order of men.
 It is recorded that the peoples rev. erence for the priests proceeded in great measure from the cures which the priests effected by means of this curious green plant of the pear-like berries. It was collected thus eere- moniously by the druids because it was supposed to drive away evil spirits.
 The reason among the druids for bringing in bits of evergreen from the woods and adorning the house is a most charming and loyable one: 'The houses were decked with evergreen in December that the Sylvan spirits might repair to them and remain un. nipped with frost and cold winds until a milder season had renewed the foli- age of their darling abodes. man.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Dec. 20th.-Last year great deal of stress was laid upon raising plenty of vege tables. fruits, food and feed for home consumption, and the farm CTS responded nobly, with the re suit that Arkansas farmers raised enough of most of these products for home needs. and in addition thousands of bushels of corn have been sold and shipped into Texas. Louisiana and other States.
 The great trouble has been that the corn was sold too cheap. The most of it was sold for from dollar to a dollar and quarter bushel, when as a matter of fact it could have been sold for a dollar and half or two dollars if the growers had not been in such a hurry to sell.
 Thousands of bushels of corn will be shipped into Arkansas during the coming year at around two dollars or better. Corn is now quoted at S175 on the St. Louis market Good alfalfa, tim : othy and pea hay Is now selling at S35 a ton. These things show the wisdom of growing these and other feed and food crops for home needs. Those who did not make their own hay are go- ing to find it difficult to buy hay at any price.
 Next year it will be more nec> essary than ever to grow these things on the farm. Consider this matter now and consider it seriously. If you raise more than

In the spring we will have mil lion or more men in the army to feed. They must be fed and the army horses must be fed regard less of the needs for local use. The only security will be to raise what you need.
 Now is the time to plan. Land. lords should insist on tenants raising plenty of food and feed, and farm owners should make ample provisions for home needs. Look well to the garden and truck patches and take good care of the live stock. Increase the poultry supply. Plenty of chick ems and eggs will go a long ways towards supplying meat.
 Christmas is almost here and extend you hearty good wishes for the full enjoyment of the hol idays. May kind Providence
