Sam Oliver, for eight years
foreman of the bridge gang for

ago:
Since ! began taking Tanlac l
have picked up fifteen pounds in
weight and I now feel as strong as
a mule. For three or four years
| suffered from stomach trouble
and Indigestion, couldn't eat
much of anything and what | did
eat disagreed with me. l was
constantly suffering from gas on
my stomach and often felt nausea

leep at all well. Ihad very little
energy and felt SO tired and wor n
out all the time that it was a hard
ship for me to look after my work
properly. None Oh the many med
icines tried did me any good and
| was getting in bad fix,
One day while talking to a
friend about my condition he told
me about Tanlac and advised me
to try it. Well, after few DAYS
| began to feel better and ] got so
| could eat and enjoy my meals.
| have now taken FIVE bottles and
without describing how | improy-
ed with each bottle. I'll just say
that my stomach is now in fine
condition and | can eat anything
| want and as much as please
and every sign of my indigestion
is gone. feel as active and full
OF energy as | ever did and hardly
know my strength. Tanlac is
great and has fixed me up so I
can eat anything, sleep like a log
and work all day and still feel fine
when night comes.'

First Of All, Feed Yourself.

These are good times, they say.
So they are for the man who has
things to sell, especially things to
eat. The man who ha buy his
living. especially If he is buying
out ofa Fixed wage or salary may
be pardoned for wondering a little
at times whether or not it is just
the sort of prosperity he would
prefer.
No farmer should be in thu
food. buying class. He will have
to buy some things, Of course, but
he should have more to sell THAI
he has to buy. The farmer who
has to make his living at home is
not prohting by the high price of
farm products.
In fact it is worth saying one
time more that permanent agri-
cultural prosperity comes only to
the community-usually only to
the man-that produces surplus
of food products. No farming
section has yet known an endur-
ing prosperity based on single
crop farming and the purchase
from its proceeds of the other
necessities of life.
1t is the same way with live
stock. The farmers who make
most out of live stock are the far
mers who grow most of their feeds
at home. The farm flocks of
poultry pay big dividends. but
few commercial poultry plants last
more than few years. The ldif.
ference between cheap homegrown
feeds and feeds purchased at retail
market prices makes the difference
in profits. The dairyman in the
Northeast -and some nearer home
who depend on buying nearly
all their feeds for their cattle find
it hard struggle to keep ahead.
Dairymen who feed their own
feeds find the COW a money maker.
The farm is primarily place to
raise things to eat, and the farmer
who fails to raise food for himself
and feed for his stock is running
. risk. -Fayette Falcon.

A great deal of careful Thought was

that would prove economical aud at

Of this investigation, the counties and

tractive proposition for a participation
that permanent and economical,
While the Exposition will run for a
period of six months and attract hun
dreds OF thousands OF visitors, 1t Is
contemplated to keep the exhibit halls

high grade chautauqua will be pro
noted and people from all sections of
the South brought here for a few days

this event always attracts many thou
sand visitors. The park will be kept
open for enjoyment by the great
throngs CT visitors to the coast sec
ton In summer.
Counties and municipalities will hs
invited to participate on the basis of
permanency. That Is. they will make
exhibits to be enclosed In beautifully
designed glass cases to be placed Inn
the Mississippi building. BY this
means an exhibit will last for yeara,
being protected from damage by dust
or insects. Substitution and additions
can be made at any time desired and
the exhibit kept up to the standard.
After the initial investment the
county will be ct no added expense
to keep its showing In fine shape for

bound to be far more economical and
