1t is nothing unusual for men Of
prominence to endorse Tanlac, as over
twenty-five thousand endorsements
have been given Tanlac within the
past year alone. These endorsements
have come from people representing
practically every walk of life, includ-

County officials, prominent men of af-
fairs, etc, but it is a noteworthy fact
that in this particular instance two
well-known bankers of the South have
on the same day voluntarily written
an expression of their gratitude for
publication, telling what Tanlac has
done for them.
In this connection one Of the best
known newspaper publishers of the
South recently said:
II know that there are at least a
thousand people in this city who
would be glad to endorse Tanlac," and
what is true of that city is true of
practically every other city of the
South and West; in fact, throughout
the entire country wherever this med.

BILL IS PASSED
JuNkETiNG COMMITTEES DURING
THE RECESS COSTS STATE
MORE THAN $4,000.
REGULATE HUNTING IN STATE
Bill Passes Prohibiting Use Of Dyna.
mite, Poison and Other Devices
BY Fishermen In ReeIfoot
Lake-20 Ducks a Day.

Nashville.-The senate, in approx
ing the miscellaneous appropriation
bill, voted an increase in legislative
expense of approximately $4,000 over
the expense of two years ago. One OF
the reasons is that there was an enor-
nous junketing committee expense
this year. This item alone amounts
to more than $4,000.
Before the RECESS joint resolution,
was adopted that the expense should
not be more than $3.50 day-that is.
the per diem of "a and $3.50 for ex-
penses. However, the senate voted to
allow SO day. This meant an in
crease of more than 100000.
The per diem and mileage of the 80
representatives amounts to $4,000,
and of the senators $4,000. Each
speaker is given an extra $500. The
senate spent $500 for engrossing
clerks and the house about the same,
a total of more than $4,000 for this
item. For clerks and doorkeepers and
sergeant-at-arms the expense is S.
900, since the chief clerks are allowed
$4,000 extra for handing the journal
over to the printer, as Gov. Rye says.
An interesting item is that the house
pays out $4,000 for porters, while the
senate pays $1,000. There are about
% engrossing clerks in each house.
Each of the junketing committees
sat Is days, and there were IL of the
committees. Some of them did valu-
able work for the state. For instance,
Senator Rocks education committee
and the finance committee.
Regulating of hunting and fishing
on Reelfoot lake, which is now the
property of the state, is fixed in the
act which passed the senate.
Among It's provisions we find that
hunters and fishermen may not dyna-
mite, poison or catch fish in the lake
except by pole and line, trotline or in
certain kinds of baskets; that April
l to June / shall be a closed season;
that all hunting and fishing must be
done between O'Clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon; that
game fish may be caught only with a
hook and line, and that hunters may
not kill more than 20 ducks in one
day. The bill also fixes the tax for
hunters and amateur and professional
fishermen,
