IRISH CROP REPORT
All Counties Show Increase of Prod.
ucts-Sir Thomas Russell's Analysis
Of Grain Yield in the Several Coun-
ties.

| Sir Thomas Russell has made a
critical survey of the crop reports for
October. He says:
| The crop reports at the present
time are Of enormous Importance. 1
think the following facts are worth
understanding:
| ID In each Of the four provinces
the following is recorded as to labor:
NO shortage reported in any county"
After all that we have heard in by
gone days of the shortage of labor be-
ing the cause of a hundred and one
things not done in the agricultural
world, l think it is worth while to
emphasize this fact. The fact speaks
for itself.
Suggestive Notes.
| CD There are several very sugges-
tive notes as to potatoes. Here are
samples:

Cavan-"Potatoes turning out we'll

The Corn Crop.
: ~ AS to corn the reports are all
favorable, and the farmers to a. very
large extent have taken the advice of

IN some quarters was considered an
innovation. They have stacked and

TanIac's Sale Phenomenal.
1t is, indeed, doubtful If anything
ever placed on the market in the way
of a medicine has sprung into such
popular favor in so short time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize its wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Houston, Texas, where Tanlac
was placed on sale seven months ago,
over 5000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists of that
city, mas established new record and
is unprecedented in the history of the
drug business. In Atlanta, over 10000
bottles were sold in twelve months
time; in Knoxville, the Kuhlman-
Chambliss Co. sold and distributed
4S,326 bottles in nine months; in Louis
Vile, KY, the Taylor-Isaacs Co, who
operate eight retail stores in that
city, sold $4,000 bottles in less than
80 days. The demand for Tanlac in
San Antonio, oklahoma City, Memphis,
Little Rock. Birmingham, Chattanooga
and Nashville, in fact everywhere 1t
has been introduced has likewise been
phenomenal and the demand for it is
continually increasing. A total of more
than a million and half bottles of the
medicine has been sold through the
Atlanta office alone during the past
twelve months, and it is without doubt
the most widely talked of medicine In
the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr.. G. F. Willis,
Southern and Western distributor of
Tanlac, said: "There can be only one
possible explanation, and 1t can be told
in one word, merit That tells the
whole story. No preparation, no mat
ter how extensively advertised, can
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success unless it possesses extraor-
dinary curative power"
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they have been re-
lieved of disease after years of suf-
fering by Its use.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. II. wArsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action OF
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed so as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than ithia and that it dissoives uric
acid as hot water does sugar

weeks ago distributed, under the per-
sonaI direction of leading charity
workers, one thousand dresses of excel

children. In San Antonio the fol-

and few days later four hundred of

Similar service was also performed
by Mr.. Cooper in Memphis. Birming-

Vile, Chattanooga, Macon, Savannah
Montgomery, Mobile and Augusta. and
his establishment of the famous free
bread line at Louisville. where he dis
tributed fifty thousand loaves of bread
absolutely free and without question to
those in want, proved revelation to
charity workers there. In fact, in prac-
tically every city Mr.. Cooper has visit
ed he has always shown his great SYM
pathy for the poor and unfortunate by
performing some unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and Ill health of the
present day American is due to faulty
digestion and improper assimilation of
the food, which finally produces a
stuffed up condition of the vital organs.
1t has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine which is now ac-
complishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only quick

tions of the mucous membrane, but
acts directly in the correction of stom-
