HIGH VALUE STOCK.

The honor of being the highest
priced mining stock in the world goes
to the Union Sulphur Company, pro-
Queer of 80 per cent of the worlds
sulphur. The stock of the company
has an appraised value of $12,003 per
share, or a total value at this rate
of $24, COG, 900, but the purchase of
a share at this price is an impossible
ity. Several years ago a few shares
of stock brought $19,400 per share.
On January l, 1916, the company
had undivided profits of $6,360,688,
equal to $3.50 per share on its out
standing stock. At the same time
the company carried a stock of
1,127,596 tons of sulphur. Assum-
ing an average of $22 a ton, this
would be worth $24,9O7,1 12; but it is
understood that sulphur has since ad-
vanced to about $2S a ton, giving
this tonnage a total value of $751;
572,688.
Assuming an average cost of $40
per ton and an average profit of $18,
there was a stockholders equity of
close to $10,148 per share, or a total
including undivided profits, of over
$4,000 per share. Dividends are
now being paid at the rate of $3.50
per cent annually.-Mining and En-

CHARACTER IN WALKING.

Quick steps are indicative of en-
ergy and agitation.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes sur
prise, curiosity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-in-toes are often found
with preoccupied, absent-minded per-
sons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING and noiseless, with short,
nervous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the casc may be.
Where a revengeful purpose is
hidden under a feigned smile, the
step will be Sinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the toes are conspicuously
turned out, the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps, waver-
ing, and following every changeable
impulse of the mind, inevitably be-
trays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision.
Obstinate people, who in argu-
ment rely more on muscularity than
on intellectual power, rest the feet
fatty and firmly on the ground, walk
hevaily and slowly, and stand with
the legs firmly planted and far apart.

WHAT 1000, DOC, 900 COULD DO.

1t would buy 274 of the most mod
ern of super-dreadnoughts and have
enough left for torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
1t is more than three times the to-
tai investment of the telephone com
panies of the world.
1t is a little less than a third of the
entire manufacturing capital of the
United States, given in the 1914
census.
1t would pay the public debt of all
the states, cities and counties in the
United States more than twice over.
1t is more than four times the to-
tai value of the school property of
the United States, eight times the val
ue of the wheat crop for 1916 and
triple the value of the cor crop.
1t is approximately fourteen times
the value of the production of either
of the automobile or the boot and
shoe industry, and four times that of
the packing industry.
1t is more than eleven times the
total of last years express cahrges
of all the companies of the United
States.
1t would buy over $4,000 of the
most modern all-steel Pullman cars.

wished to distribute it you could give

THE SCARLET THREAD.

With scarlet threads she hung her house,
That Israers hosts might know,
Where welt the harlot. Rahab, on
The walls of Jericho.
The foeman came with sword and spear,
The rams horn blew a blast,
And DER the fallen parapets
The tribes exultant passed.
Their red fires laid the city low,
Their red swords drank its blood:
But when they passed the harlot's house
They looked and understood.
For she had shared with ~Israel's spies
Her roof and flaxen bed,
And fire and sword passed by the house
Where hung the scarlet thread.
Poor Rahabl Up and down the world
Your outcast daughters go,
With lives to sell like yours upon
The walls of Jericho.
And though the world shall know them no
As mother, maid or wife.
Their scarlet threads shall cling for aye
Unto the House Of Life.

THE GOOD JOB.

If you can work and keep your smile
And not be grumbling all the while.
II you are glad to do your share
And sometimes more. and still not care.
And take the gain or take the loss,
And still be loyal to your boss,
You need not fear the frowning fates,
For you a good job surely waits.
n you put into all you do
The very heart and soul OF you
And give unto the simplest test
That spirit which is called your best,
And use your brain along the way
II makes no difference what today
You're being called upon to do.
4 good job surely waits for you.
Men do not rise by handsome looks.
Or from the htinPs They've read in books,
Or even from the facts they know,
But from the knowledge that they show,
II you are patient and will work
And do the tasks that fret and irk
Without complaining, in good time
The ladder of success you'll climb.
If you will think about your task
And of yourself this question ask:
'With this would | be satisfied
1t 7 were on the buyers side?'
And never let it pass until
IL marks the summit of your skill.
Re not dismayed nor live in dread.
A better job is just ahead.
Today is but a stepping stone
To glories that are still unknown.
The sunbeams of tomorrow raise
The seed Of all our yesterdays;
IN what we are men near us see
What in the future we shall be,
The good job blossoms on the soil
That has been titled with honest toll .

PROF. ELMER MORRIS GAINED
"a LBS. AND QUIT TAKING 1T.


Of the thousands of letters that
have recently been received at the
Tanlac office from ~well-known men
and women. who have been benefited
by this medicine, nom are more in
teresting than the one received from
S. r. Luton at Bumpus Mills, Tenn.
This letter. which was addressed to
C. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ga, reads as
follows:
Dear Sir: You will find enclosed
a testimonial from Professor Elmer
Morris, who is one of my customers.
Professor Norris had a delicacy in
expressing himself and granted me
the right to give you the particulars
in his case.
He tells me that he has been a great
sufferer from chronic stomach and
bowel trouble, and v had been
able to get anything to give him any
relief. He fell off in weight from
s25 pounds to 10 pounds. He went
to Dawson Springs, KY, and when he
came back he said he was no better.
persuaded him to try Tanlac.
He weighed on my scales at the time
he began taking it and only weighed
40 pounds. After taking three bot
ties of Tanlac he had gained 20
pounds. When he brought this tes-
timonial to me he had gained 4
pounds more and weighed 1914. He
did not want to get back to 225
pounds and decided to quit taking
Tanlac.
This mar is a teacher in the public
schools in Stewart county, Tenn. He
lives here in one miles of my store
and bought the Tanlac from me. His
true postofice is Dover, Tenn, R. F.
d. No. /. Professor Morris state
meut is as follows:
81 have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have gained 20
pounds. l just weighed 40 pounds
and now | weigh 1870, and never felt
better in my life.
81 have been a great sufferer from
stomach trouble for about n year.
I tried every doctor | could get to,
and went to a health resort at Daw-
son Springs, but nothing did me any
good. | decided to take Tanlac and
found it to be the best medicine /
sver tried.
Yours very truly,

CONTROL OF
THE GREEDY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. II.
Food prices will be held In
check by the sweeping govern
mental control OF staples an
nounced in President Wilson s
proclamation today.
Herbert Hoover, who will put
the presidents order into force
Nov. 1, is not certain it will re-
dnce prices to the average con
sumner. He Is determined, how
ever, to control 'the sickening in
dividual, sectional and class
avarice," backed by demand and
threat Of which ne said he re-
ceives daily evidence.
Stimulation Of production is
Hoover's dominant thought.
