Poultry Should Be Cheap.

A present congestion in the frozen poultry market, shown by figures of the United States Department of Agriculture, can be relieved if the retail dealers will handle the goods at reasonable advance over whole sale prices. This action would make poultry available at prices compar- ing favOrably with other meats ac- cording to the findings of a con ference recently held between whole sale poultry distributors and off cials of the Department of Agri- culture. Both parties to the con ference say that more poultry should be eaten when the facts are understood by the consumer, and increased use of poultry now, in the opinion of the department, will tend to conserve other meats which
The weekly soliphone., 1917-08-02

agreed that the storage supplies of
 poultry in the summer of 1916 were unusually low because of small or iginal holdings and large export demands. This resulted in unusual ly high prices to producers during the fall and winter of 1916. The supply was unexpectedly heavy and large stocks were stored at high costs. Then export demands fell off, the wave of economy affected the home demand, and the storage stocks moved slowly. The net re- suit, according to the department. is that almost everybody ought to enjoy chicken dinners now at de- cidedly reduced prices and without a feeling that they are using up needed meat supplies. In short. it is said to depend on the retailers
 whether chickens will be cheaper.

BAPTIST MINISTER
 GAINS 10 POUNDS
Thought Most Patent Medi-
 cines Fakes, But Is Now! Convinced That Tanlac Is
 An Exception.

'I am an ordained Baptist min ister, and have always been great ly opposed to patent medicines of any kind" said Rev. Jno. M. Sims. of Atlanta, recently. "In fact, 1 have always regarded the great majority of them as nothing more or less than fakes, but I want to say to you that I believe Tanlac is an ex ception to the rule. because l have never taken anything that helped me as much as this medicine.
 "Mrs. Sims had not been very we'll and on the recommendation of friends I bought the first bottle for her, but when I took it home she refused to take it. I was also very badly run down myself and in need of a medicine of some kind and as my friends had spoken so highly of Tanlac I decided to try it myself I have only taken two bot ties and have gained ten pounds in feight. When I weighed with my overcoat on I weighed two hun dred and fifteen pounds. When I weighed a few weeks later on the scales up the street without my overcoat, I weighed two hundred and ten pounds, which is ten pounds more than I weighed be- fore I began taking it.
 "1 suffered pricipally from ner- vous indigestion and inactive liver. My kidneys also gave me a great deal of trouble. I would lay awake for hours at night as I was so nervous I could get no rest or sleep-in fact, I was so run down I was almost nervous wreck. l was not myself at all and was los ing weight and strength rapidly. My digestion was so badly impaired I had to avoid sweets of all kinds, as much as I loved them. Frequent ly after eating I would suffer for hours with heartburn and other forms of indigestion.
 "Tanlac seems to have corrected these troubles entirely. I have been entirely relieved of indigestion and can now eat anything with inn punity. I can even eat money with out suffering any i'll effects what soever
 "As I told you before, used to suffer g great deal with my kidneys and would have to get up at all hours of the night. I can now go to bed and get a good nights rest, and never wake up until morning. get up feeling rested and refresh ed and ready for my work.
 "Yes. indeed, Tanlac is won derful medicine There is no doubt about it. I heartily recommend it for what it has done for me-" Rev. Sims son was also present at the time he made this remark able statement, and was so favor ably impressed with what his fath- CT had to~say regarding Tanlac that he at once decided to get it for his. wife.
 Tanlac is sold in Para gould by Hardesty & Lackey;- Mar maduke Pharmacy, Marmaduke, Ark: R. l.. Hutcherson. Peach Or chard, Ark. and Walcott Drug Store, Walcott, Ark. (advt. )
