and has been known to entirely relieve
the most obstinate cases of rheuma-
tism and blood disorders In very
short time.
Tanlac's Sale Phenomenal.
It 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 a time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize its wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Dallas, Texas, where Tanlac was
placed on sale about eight months ago,
over 10000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists of that
city, has 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
90 days. The demand for Tenlac in
Denver, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Hous-
ton, San Antonio, Oklahoma City,
Memphis, Little Rock, Birmingham,
Chattanooga and Nashville, in fact ev-
erywhere 1t has been introduced has
likewise been phenomenal and the de-
mand 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 1t possesses extraor-
binary curative power"
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they have been re-
lieved Of disease by its use after years
Of suffering.

When Hubby Fooled Her.

Mrs. Scatterbrain was constantly
bemoaning her lot. Her husband. who
was entitled to place half the letters
of the alphabet after his name. had
the most treacherous memory in the
world. He could remember nothing
his wife told him, in spite of bits Of
string round his finger and knots in
his handkerchief. Only once did Mr..
Scatterbrain remember to do his wife's
bidding.
Said a friend to Mrs. Scatterbrain !:
81 think you are getting as bad as
your hubby. / got note from you
yesterday dated whole week ahead"
Heavens! gasped Mrs. Scatter
brain, trembling with the shock. "My
husband must have posted 1t the very
day gave 1t to him!"

Mr.. Cooper Is firm believer In prac-
teal philanthropy and his relief work
is familiar to charity workers over the
country. His Southern representa-
tive while in Houston, Texas, few
weeks ago distributed, under the per-
sonal direction of leading charity
workers, one thousand dresses Of excel
lent quality to the poor women and
children. In San Antonio the fol-
lowing week, he donated another thou
sand dresses to the poor Of that city
and a few days later four hundred Of
the garments were provided by him
for the poor women and children OF
Galveston. Ladies prominent in social
life and many prominent citizens Of
these places assisted and co-operated
with Mr.. Cooper's representatives in
this worthy cause.
Gives $4,000 Loaves Of Bread.
Similar service was also performed
by Mr.. Cooper in Cincinnati, Memphis,
Birmingham, Atlanta, Little Rock,
Shreveport, Vicksburg, Jackson, Nash
vile, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Macon,
Savannah, Montgomery, Mobile and
Augusta, and his establishment of the
famous free bread line at Louisville,
where he distributed fifty thousand
loaves Of bread absolutely free and
without question to those in want,
proved revelation to charity workers
there. In fact, in practically every city
Mr.. Cooper has visited he has always
shown his great sympathy for the poor
and unfortunate by performing some
unique act of charity.
Mr.. Cooper contends that nine-tenths
of the diseases and i'll 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.
It has been said that Tanlac, his
celebrated medicine which is now ac-
complishing such remarkable results
throughout the country, not only quick
ly overcomes all catarrhal inflamma-
tons of the mucous membrane, but
acts directly in the correction of stom-
ach, liver, kidney and intestinal dis
orders.
Tanlac as has been so convincingly
proven by the thousands upon thou
sands who have Endorsed 1t, is also a
reconstructive tonic of great power,

The rate of seeding ranges from three
to five pecks, either drilled or seeded
broadcast, and narrowed in.
Soy Beans.
Soy beans can safely be put in as
late as July. They may be planted in
rows % inches apart, at the rate of
one-half bushel per acre for grain, or
drilled and broadcasted at the rate Of
one bushel per acre for hay purposes.
The crop furnishes a valuable legum-
nous hay which serves excellent as a
substitute for clover.
MilIet.
Millet is dependable crop to plant
as late as July Is. 1t furnishes large
yield Of useful hay. Common. German
and Hungarian millet give largest
yields of best quality. One-half BUSH

cattle. The Dwarf Essex variety
should be demanded, and for best re-
suits should be drilled in rows % to

pounds per acre, and cultivated. Good
results can, however, be secured by
drilling or broadcasting at the rate of
four pounds per acre.
Flat turnips may be seeded broad

THE SOLDIERS DREAM


Our bugles sang truce; for the night
clouds had lowered,
And the sentinel stars set Their
watch in the sky;
And thousands had sunk on the
ground overpowered,
The weary to sleep and the wounded
to die.
When reposing that night on my pal
let Of straw,
By the wolf-scaring fagot that
guarded the slain;
At the dead Of the nigth a sweet
vision | saw,
And thrice ere the morning |
dreampt it again.
Methought from the battlefeld's
dreadful array,
Far, far had / roamed on desolate
track;
Twas autumn, and sunshine arose on
the way
To the home of my fathers, that
welcomed me back.
I flew to the pleasant fields traversed
so oft
In life's morning march, when my
bosom was young;
heard my own mountain goats bleat-
ing aloft,
And knew the sweet strain that the
corn reapers sung,
Then pledged we the wine-cup, and
fondly | swore
From my home and my weeping
friends never to part;
My little ones kissed me a thousand
times Ger,
And my wife sobbed aloud in her
fullness of heart.
"Stay, stay with us, rest, thou art
weary and worm;
And fain was their war-broken sol
der to stay;
But sorrow returned with the dawning
of morn,
And the voice in my dreaming ear
melted away.

TENNESSEE THIRD STATE IN
STRAWBERRY PRODUCTION

A special, under date of July IL,
from Washington, D. c., to the Nash
vile Banner says:
1.-THE strawberry season is so fleet
ing and the sections devoted to its
culture so segregated that it is doubt
full if the import of its Importance
and culture are fully realized by the
people of Tennessee. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, announcement has just
been made by the Department of Ag-
riculture for the year 1915 that Ten
nessee is the third state in the union
in the production of Strawberries. The
report shows Maryland first, with
1912 cars; Delaware second, with
1,496 cars, and Tennessee a close
third, with 1859 cars. 1t is not at
all certain that Tennessee would not
make better showing if the figures,
as compiled, covered the same period.
AS shown by the reports the ship
ments from Maryland cover the per-
iod from May Is to June 80, and the
shipments from Delaware from May
Is to June 30, while the available re-
ports from Tennessee only deal with
the period from May l to June 5.
Whether these reports are full and
the dates furnish full information con-
corning the entire season is not shown,
but if this is not the case it may read
lily be understood that Tennessee is
entitled to better rating.
"The entire crop of berries for this
season amounted to 13,409 cars. The
best showing for Tennessee was made
at Humboldt, in Gibson county,
whence 252 cars were shipped. For
a number Of years this industry has
been a source Of much profit to the
farmers of Gibson, Dyer and adjoin-
ing counties.
Zone Of the unsatisfactory condi-
lions found by the department has to
do with the transportation question.
AS is usually the case, the department
found that where there was competi-
ton for tonnage the roads provided
splendid facilities for handling the
berries, icing the cars and insuring
rapid movements to destination.
"At other points, where the ship
pers were served exclusively by one
road, no facilities were provided ex-
cept the right to load the cars on the
team tracks near the station. At COM
petitive points the railroads took over
the loading and bracing of the cars
and assumed responsibility for the
condition of the shipment on arrival
at destination. At some of the nom
competitive points, however, the ship
per did all Of the loading, stripping
and bracing of cars and paid all of
the costs in connection with these
onerations.n
