A Free Prescription You Can Ha
 Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain and other eye weaknesses, and those who wear glasses, will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope and help for them. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription end many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says, after using it. T was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully. Now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me- A lady who used it says "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this pre- scription for 15 days everything seems clear. can read even fine print with out glasses" Another who used it says tI was bothered with eye strain caused by oyerworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work, and without them l could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. I can do both now and have discarded my leng distance glasses altogether. l can count the huttering leaves on the trees across the street now. which for several years have looked like dim green blur to me. cannot express my joy at what it has done for me-"
 It is believed that thousands who wear glarses can now discard them iI' reason

THIS WOMAN HAD ID BE LIFTED FROM
 TRAIN ID CARRIAGE
But, After Taking Tanlac Mrs. McFather Can Walk Miles Without Firing.
 Gains 15 Pounds

When my mother who is 64 years old, came to my home 30 days ago, she was so weak I had to carry her in my arms from the train to the carriage. but she now walk two miles without get ting tired, and this Tanlac has been worth all of $100 a bottle to her." was the remarkable statement made by A. L. McFather, well known farmer living on R. F. D. No. f. Mount Calm, Tex, recently.
 For more than 14 years,' he continued, mother suffered from stomach trouble, and during all that time she had to live On the very lightest things she could get. She couldn't even drink sweet milk or eat meat of any kind, and the fiimsy things she did eat often caused her ter rible suffering. She was badly consti- pated and was all the time taking sorne- thing for that trouble. She was tired all the time, the least exercise would wear her completely out, and all during the day she had to lay down and rest. She suffered agony with pains in her sides and was so nervous and miserable she could hardly sleep at all. She took all kinds of medicines for years but she kept losing weight and getting worse all the time.
 T was ala r7Trcu about her when met her at the train and found her so feeble. had read and heard so much about Tanlac I decided for her to try it, and the day she took her first dose she weighed only 96 pounds and was almost as weak as a kitten. Well, Tanlac has simply made a new woman of her. She now weighs Ill pounds and has actually gained 15 pounds in the last 30 days. Some folks may doubt it, but it's the plain truth, she can walk two miles with out getting tired. I have never seen or heard of anything to equal Tanlac. Moth sr can eat anything she wants now and as much as she pleases without the least trouble afterwards, and she sleeps as sound as a healthy baby every night. She is not the least bit constipated now and her nerves are as calm as a lamb. The pains have entirely left her sides and her strength and vitality Is remarkable. Tanlac has restored her health In every way and want everybody to know what it is that has relieved her of all those years of suffering and made a well wom- an of her"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. W. Morris Drug company; in Bes- semer by Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company. and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company-Adv.

HOW MORTGAGES GRADUALLY
RETIRE UNDER FARM LOAN ACT
By FRANK r.. WILSON
or the Federal Farm Loan Bureau.
fWritten for the United Press.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.--One OF
the features Of the Federal Farm
Loan Act which makes g strong APP
peal to farmers Is that 1t compels
them gradually to retire their in
debtedness through long or short
period OF years.
This process is ealled amortiza-
ton. Under it tic interest and prin-
eipal are paid off In equal annual or
scIni-annuai insfalImants throughout
the period OF the loan so that at tire
end of the term Of the mortgage the
borrower Is oEt Of debt.
All loans under the Farm Loan
Act are made under the amortfza-
ton or iastallrment plan. Since the
borrower begins paying off his debt
the first year after he gets it, and
{ because d long time loan Is best suit
ed to farmers, borrowers under this
act are permitted TO execute mort
CAGES TO ran from fire to forty years
al their option. ss8ks
Permission is given TO pay all of
the loan or any part OF It on any in
terest paying date after the mortgage
has run five years. Borrowers are
not permitted to pay off within the
first five years, because the money
which they have borrowed has been
procured by the bank through the
sale of its bonds, and bonds cannot
be sold for shorter period than
five years.
ITO give the prospective borrower
an exact idea of the size of annual
payments required to wipe out a
mortgage in a given period, tables
have been prepared. The following
table shows the amount OF the an
nual payments required to extinguish
in the period indicated Q $1,000 loan
bearing interest at 5, s II and 6 per
cent.
