"Tanlac has certainly helped me and

 been one of the most popular officials
 in the state, having served three terms
 as sheriff. "I am 70 years old,'' he con tinued, land have most always been pretty healthy man until here lately, I have been in a nervous. wornout rundown condition. Most always after eating I would have full uncomfort- able feeling which would last severe1 hours.
 After taking the second bottle of Tanlac the fullness and all the disa- greeable symptoms disappeared, and my condition is now that of a well man. Tanlac seemed to be just what needed to put my system in shape, and 1t has toned me right up. Natural ly would recommend it to my friends, and I know of 15 or 20 families that are taking 1t now on my say so" ArI<ansas official Testifies Hon. Charles l. Lewis, ex-sheriff ot
 Crittenden county merchant and a large plantation owner of Marion, Ar kansas, said: "I am convinced from the benefits that my wife and myself and many of our friends have received from Tanlac that 1t is without an equal. Mrs. Lewis suffered for 10 years. She couldn't digest anything and gas forming in her stomach caused severe pains and shortness of breath. We both started taking Tanlac at the same time and have had the most gratifying results. Mrs. Lewis can now eat and enjoy her food for the first time in
 many days. She is not nervous and
 her sleep is sound and refreshing and she is like different woman "I suffered with biliousness and ma-

THE LEGEND OF MUSCLE SHOALS
 AND THE STORY OF FLORENCE

There sometimes turk strange flashes of prophecy beneath the myths of primitive races. their simple faith giving them clairvoyant vision lack ing in peoples to whom the evolution of reason has brought the cure of doubt. Thus, may we not attribute tho Indian legend of Muscle Shoals to the intuition of an untutored race cloth ing in poetic guise prophecy that modern science tells us will surely some day be fulfilled?
 All ye who doubt. listen to the leg sad of Muscle Shoals:
 The Cherokees believed that be- heath the rushing waves of Muscle Shoals in the infancy of the world the great spirit imprisoned a beau tiful water sprite, the Goddess of the Tennessee. while above her hovered her lover, the Prince of the Power of the Air. But alas, although through out the ages he had whispered his love upon the perfumed evening breeze, or vented his despair in storm and tempest while in return she hao flashed back her sparkling smiles through a thousand summers and murmured tender secrets beneath a myriad southern moons yet it was deoreed that the affinities should never be united until there should ap- pear in human form a mighty magi- clan, who. with a wave of his wand. would bring together these spirits CT water and air. Then would follow, such reign of peace and plenty as had been never before known on earth.
 It was not the Indian alone who felt the promise of this region The white man also fell under it's spell, for in 1918 to three Tennesseans travelinp through what is now Lauderdale coun- ty Alabama. came an idea that at the loot of Muscle Shoals. on the hills where Florence now stands, overlook Ing the waters of the magnificent tennessee. would some day arise a great city.
 So obsessed were they with this convictlon that they proceeded to buy the land for miles around from inc

 q was continually belching up un- digested food" he continued, "and would bIoat and swell up like I was poisoned and suffered from neuralgia pains of the worst sort and nothing relieved me. I begun to feel better after taking the first bottle of Tan lac and have just started on my third and feel like different man already. I sleep like a log now and can eat any and everything I want without the slightest discomfort afterwards"
 Texas sheriffs Endorsement
 'I needed 8 general all round build ing up for the last seven months and Tanlac has done that very thing for me-" said Hon. s. A. Kelley. sheriff of Ector county, Texas. who resides at Odessa, Texas. and who is one of the most popular officials in that section of the state. I'm mighty glad now that took Tanlac. for I had been in a badly un-down condition for sew eral months. I had no appetite and didn't enjoy what I did eat and at times I suffered terribly with rheu. matic pains. My back ached all tho time and my liver was so sluggish and out of shape that I had 8 dull headache continually.
 T have taken only two bottles, but feel like a different man already. My appetite Is fine and what l eat gives me nourishment and strength. Tfe rheumatism is much better and my liver is in good condition. I am re- lieved of the headaches and feel mora active and energetic than I have jn months"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham ex- cIusively by Eugene Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug conn pany; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birming ham by Walker Drug company.-Adv

 PRESIDENTS INVESTED
 These three men. the fathers of Florence were General Coffee of tue battle of New Orleans fame; Judge Mckinley, afterward on the bench of the supreme court of the United States, and James Jackson. a wealthy turfman. They seem to have had some influential friends. for when they held the sale among the prominent men who showed their faith in Florence by investing were three Presidents of the United States Ex-President Mad ison. President De Facto Munroe and future President. Andrew Jackson, and the distinguished trio paid a fancy price for corner lots in the forest pri- meval, as anyone who cares to investi- gate the records at Florence may see for themselves.
 Although the enormous value of water power was not dreamed of at this early date. yet the river was all ways regarded as a prime factor in F1orences promise of future great ness

The manners. customs and ideals of that period were so different from ours that to us it seems like another world, with it's labor system, it's code duello for settling disputes among gentlemen, It's lavish hospitality and, above all. the thoroughbred horse in dustry. No account of Florence would be complete that left out her cele- brated daughter, Peytona. known in racing circles the world over as one of the fastest horses on record; nor Leviathan, nor Glencoe and the other beautiful animals that grazed upon the meadows and waded in the clear waters of the Forks of the Cypress, as James Jackson called his famous stock farm five miles from Florence. Here in 1920 he built on a magnifi- cent site where once the chief, Dou- blehead. had erected his wigwam. 2

 HORSES IN OTHER DAYS
 We of today, with railroads, and auto- mobiles and airplanes, can scarcely real ize what the thoroughbred horse meant to our forefathers. A thoroughbred is a horse whose pedigree is recorded in the stud book of the Jockey Club of England for six generations The superior speed and endurance of these animals proved of inestimable value in the early days of American life, and the men who imported them from England at enormous expense and under great difficulty showed as much enterprise and business ability as any of our modern captains of industry have done in other fields, with this diff ference: to the turfmen money was of secondary importance to the pride and pleasure of breeding and racing these fine animals.
 In his interesting book, "The Making of the American Thoroughbred" Douglas Anderson tells that in 1886 James Jack son ordered his agent in England to se- cure for him the finest stallion in the market regardless of cost; and Glencoe, considered one of the finest horses that had ever lived, was chosen from the famous stud of the Duke of Grafton, who had bought him from King George ". IL took 52 days to bring him over to New York and then after rest in Virginia he made the long journey across the mountains to Alabama Racing, the sport of kings" was in the air in those days While in Virginia every town had it's race course, necessary in order to test the merits of different strains of blood, there were also many tracks in Tennessee and Alabama. Peytona, daugh- ter of Glencoe, with the blood of Le- viathan in her veins, was of herself suf- ficient to put Florence on the map of the world, winning among other brilliant vic- tories the Peyton stakes, and also the last great match between the north and south, run in 1S45 over the Long Island race course, when she defeated the east err champion, Fashion, who had beaten Boston

HOME GARDEN r1Nrs For JUNE

|
/ BY E. r. Lloyd, Director Cooperative Extn
w,rxA q NJ colIefel
Hard work and lots OF IL IS neces-
sary for the garden in June The
gardens have seen some rough go
! ing during the past month, and
practically all of them are showing
the effects Of dry Weather, disease,
aud insect pests.
Frequent paintings and thorough
cultivation may well be called the Sc
crets of success IN the garden.
These two things cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
Do not neglect cultivation after a
rain until the ground becomes baked
and dry, and then decide that it is
necessary to wait for another
rain.
1t is a poor policy to wait for a
rain to cultivate, plant seeds set
plants, or do anything else in the
garden. When the time comes to do
thing, do it well and good results
will usually follow.
While the cultivation needs to be
shallow, one oil the common mis-
takes in the garden is cultivating on
y about ] to inch deep, falling to
stir. the middles. and discontinuing
cultivation too quickly when every
thing does not go just right.
A large part of the garden cultiva-
tion can be done with a horse and
any of the farm cultivators with
small shoveIs or teeth. Cultivate
the sol from 2 to 3 inches deep at
least once everv ten days to prevent
it from settling together and allow
ing the moisture to escape. Some
hoeing in the row is necessa-
nv.
Continue the cultivation of all
garden crops as long as there
are growing or producing.
Leaf eating insects can be controH-
ed by dusting the plants whi the
dew is on with a mixture of powdered
arsenate of lead and air-slacked lime,
half and haH
Cutworms can be controlled with
a poison bait prepared as follows:
Mix 20 pounds wheat bran, | 10.
paris green, and enough molasses to
make a stiff dough. Distribute 10
small Jumps during the late after
noon around the plant to be protect
ed.
To prevent the ravages of plant
lice spray with the following solu
ton; One-half teaspoon of Blackleai
40" to one quart OF water n which
piece OF soap the size of a marble
has been dissolved. Be careful to
spray the under side of the leaves. II
