WIFE OF GEORGIA RY. EN-
CNEER GAINED TWENTY
FIVE POUNDS.
G. C. Ceiger Says His Wife
Suffered With Rheumatism for
Years-Tanlac Entirely Over
comes Trouble.

Tanlac has not only relieved
my wife of a very severe attack OF
rheumatism, but she has actually
gained twenty five pounds (25)
pounds since she began taking the
medicine said Mr. G 6 Geiger,
residing at 1873 East Linden
Street, Atlanta, Ga, for a num-
Der of years employed as engineer
by the Georgia railroad.
/ don't believe l ever saw any
one suffer with rheumatism as
much as she did, continued Mr.
Geiger in his statement to the
Tanlac representative. Some
times her feet would swell SO she
couldn't get her shoes on. The
pains in her arms were so great at
times she would remark that they
felt like they were about to drop
off. She had severe headaches,
and was dizzy and nervous all the
time and unable to sleep we'll at
night. Her appetite failed her
and she lost a great deal in weight
and strength. She sometimes got
so bad off she would have to go to
bed and stay for weeks at time.
When she wasn't in bed she felt
so tired and played-out she was
never able to look after her house
work.
She tried all kinds of medicine,
but nothing seemed to do her
much good, and when | began to
hear so much talk about Tanlac, ]
just made up my mind to lay all
the other medicines aside and put
her on Tanlac.
She has now finished her
fourth bottle and she is like diff
ferent woman. The rheumatism
has been entirely relieved; she
doesn't have the headache any
more, is no longer nervous like
she used to be, and she sleeps like
a baby. She has a splendid ap
petite and has been gaining
strength and weight right along,
and, as l have already told you,
she has gained twenty-five pounds,
She is full of life and energy now,
and is looking after the housework
like she hadn't ever been sick.
Il tell you, it's just wonderful
the way this medicine has helped
her, for she was almost a nervous
wreck when she started taking it.
I'll never be able to tell you how
thankful | am for what it has done
for her, and Pm recommending it
to all my friends. Many of them
have already begun taking it on
my recommendation"

DON'T NEGLECT THE
GARDEN THIS SUMMER

All feed and food products are ex-
ceptionally high this season. This
makes it important for each farmer
to produce everything possible that
his family and his animals eat, on
on his own farm. Nearly all farmers
put out a small garden in the spring.
As soon as the cotton, corn and 9th
er crops need attention the garden
is forgotten, so that by the middle
of the summer it has grown up in
weeds or has dried out. Instead of
having green things from the gar
den all summer, fall and into the
winter, many farmers depend upon
getting their supply from the local
store. No spot on the farm will
yield as great returns as the garden
and ii should be worked during the
season of the year so that the mois-
ture will be maintained. Late plant
ing of onions, radishes, turnips, po-
tdbOCS, e1iiu manly
should be made. One farmer at
Danville last year had twenty var
tiles of green vegetables growing
in his garden as late as October.
This garden saved the farmer many
dollars during the season, and he
and his family of five had the salts,
faction of having fresh vegetables
whenever they wanted. A surplus
should be produced and canned for
winter use. A big supply of green
vegetables during the summer and
fall, and canned vegetables during
the fall and winter, all produced at
home will go lone way toward
solving the hard times of the farm
err and will enable him and his fam
lily to have much better health.

ABANDON FOOD PREJuDlcEs.

Don't Be Finicky. Be willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-
joyed in one section are practically
unknown in other sections of the
country. Learn to know all the good
things; not a few only.
People too easily get into food ruts
insist on eating only the food tf-ay
are used to and refuse to give fair
trial to others This causes undue
demand for certain staples, with re-
sulting scarcity or high prices when
crops are short At the same time
other valuable foods may be relative
ly cheap and available.
Cook Food Properly: Learn how
to cook all kinds of staple foods and
to serve them in variety of ways
Simple dishes we'll prepared are bet
ter than expensive foods badly cook
ed. Many persons are prejudiced
against certain good foods because,
when first tried, the foods were i'm
properly cooked or prepared. Remove
from your vocabulary don't like" or
cant eat" Most individual preiu-
dices against widely popular foods are
either imaginary or baseless. Try 20
like every simple food give it TAR

LIBERTY BONDS
GO UP IN SMOKE

While campaigns are being put on
in all parts of the United States to
raise money for the war by selling
liberty bonds, the public-meaning
you and me and our neighbors, arc
burning up millions of dollars every
year through the curse of careless
ness. IL there was ever period in
American History when our resources
should be conserved it is now. Fire
is the greatest ally of extravaganza
and waste. Now is the time to think
and act to protect ourselves and our
community against preventable fires.
The money lost in needless and pre-
ventable fires in the United States
annually would pay the interest on
the Liberty Bond Issue of $2,000,O0O
dina then furnish $100,000,000 TO the
amount the President has asked for

TOO MANY FEMALE
ANIMALS BEING SOLD

During the last year there were
1,570,021 cattle slaughtered at the
Armour Packing plant in Chicago
and their eight branch houses.
Among this number were 530,86l
heifers and cows and 127 $40 heifer
calves. This number, of course, in
dicates the animals slaughtered by
only one of our large packing COM
panies but it points out very clearly
that the female ANNA 81 are
being Unfortunately sold and slau-
entered. This may be due largely
to the high prices of feed and the
exceptional prices offered fer beef,
but if the slaughtering continues the
shortage now prevailing will, UNI
doubtedly, be increased greatly.
We must conserve the mothers
among all classes of livestock. Save
the cows, heifer calves, brood sows,
gifts and ewes. Remember if you
sell, it will be difficult eto replace
them and one of your greatest means
of growing into money" will De
eliminated. Farmers in every coun-
ty should discourage the sale of such
animals. What the present practice
means to the future of Arkansas
can only be estimated but Arkansas
is typieallly livestock state in many
parts and for every heller calf sold
and killed we have lost one cow and
the possibility of ten offsprings.

Citizen of Hardy Has lust Learned
of Sons Death on Battlefield
In France

Hardy, June 12.-In addition to the

received a letter from Lieut.. l.. j.
Bertrand of Company A, Seventh

death and burial of his son, Ira Phil

in France, in which he says:
"You have no doubt been informed
by this time of the death in action of
your son, and / am writing you these
few lines to convey my deep SYM
pathy for you in your loss. Your
son was in my platoon and was very
much liked by me and all his COM
rades. He was of fearless character
and devoted in duty and his loss is
keenly felt by all with whom he
came in contact. His death came by
machine gun bullet and was in
staneous. 1t may be some consola-
ton to you to know that he died for
the great cause that is now yours as
we'll as ours.

some officers and men, in a small

JEALOUSY LEADS TO
KILLING AT NEWPORT
Herman Harmon Killed by Slim Kel-
ley and Newark Boy Impli-
Gated in Affair

Herman Harmon, young me-
chanie in the employ of of P. II.
Van Dyke Auto Co., of Newport,
was shot and killed about 100
o'clock last Saturday morning while
with young woman at house
near the river front in Newport.
"Slim' Kelley, said to be from
Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Zephy Minis,
formerly of Newark, and Mabel Sher-
man were arrested and placed N
jail at Newport, charged with first
degree murder, and are being held
without bail.
1t is said that Kelley fired the
shot that killed young Harmon.
Jealousy probably was the cause
of the shooting. 1t is said that the
three now in jail went to the house
and broke in the door, and that the
shooting followed almost immediate
ly. 1t is said that Kelley obtained
the revolver from Minis, and that he
shot when Harmon grappled with
him. H. C. Gallagher, night engin-
eer at the light plant, near the
scene of the killing, says that he
saw the three enter the house and
heard the shots. H armon was shot
four times, and died about O'Clock
Saturday morning.
When the killing became known
there was much excitement and talk
of lynching by friends of Harmon
1t is said that the young women
have been maintaining a disorder1y
house and that Kelley has been as.
sociated with them. The young wo.
man with Harmon when Kelley shet
him is said to have been Kelley's
mistress and his infatuation for the
woman caused him to shoot Harmon
when he found Harmon with her
Harmon was member of the
Newport company of the Arkansas
National Guard. His body was Sent
to his home at Little Rock for bur.
ial.

REGISTRATION RESULTS
BEAT ELECTION RETURNS

The results of the recent registra-
ton for the entire State were known
within 3S hours after the booths
closed, although the registration card
was almost as complicated as the
ordinary election ticket. 1t is evil
denee of efficient organization and
should be an example to election Of
ficials.
Army officials say that had it not
been for the delay in three of the
counties, Phillips, Stone and Mississi-
ppi, it would have been possible to
have complete returns in &c hours,
or twelve hours earlier. As it was,
Arkansas was one of the first seven
states to make its report to the de-
partment, Delaware having been first.
Pulaski county, the largest in the
State was one of the first to report,
with a complete statement of regis
trations, and most of the counties
did the work without a cent of cost
to the Seate or government, all of
the work having been done purely
voluntarily.
1t was the biggest achievement of
the kind in the history of the eoun-
try, and June will go down in his
tory as proof of what American gen
Jus and patriotism can do when en-
Urgency demands it.
