If you had seen me before l De- gan taking Taulac you would not be- lieve 1t was the same person talk ing to you now. said Mrs Emma E, Hamilton, one of the best known residents of Ensley, Ala, in telling of the remarkable results she had obtained from the use of Tanlac, the medicine that is accomplishing such wonderful results in the South.
 Just think of itr' continued Mrs. Hamilton, q have gained eighteen pounds since I began taking the medicine, and have taken only two bottles.
 q suffered from a nervous break down, and for nineteen months have been in wretched health, had no appetite and the little Tate did more harm than good, and my sleep was very poor was so weak and felt so miserable that it would some times take me from breakfast until supper to get my housework fin- ished, for l would have to stop ev- cry few minutes and rest was too played-out to keep on the go. took all kinds of treatment, but nothing did me any good, and l just kept getting worse all the time. It seemed like I was losing strength every day, and lost weight until was almost a living skeleton
 My husband begged me to try Tanlac, and just to please him bought bottle. I have just finished my second bottle, and 1 tell you wouldn't take five hkldred dollars for the good it has done me. It strengthened me up right from the start, gave me a good appetite, and everything 1 eat agrees with me per fectly, and l sleep fine. As have already said, 1 have gained eighteen pounds, and I believe I am the hap piest woman in town, and l believe l have a right 10 be. l feel simply fine in every way.
 My friends are asking me what l have been doing to myself to look so much better. and, of course, l tell them that Tanlac is responsible. 1 ! believe it is the best medicine ever sold over a drug store counter.
 Yes, sir, you are perfectly well come to use my statement in the papers, and am only too glad to be able to let the people know what this wonderful medicine will do for the sick. believe anyone in the shape I was in will find entire re- lief with Tanlae."

pAPER PRICEs REMAIN nGH.

The Star has just received the largest single shipment of print pa per that ever came Co Mena, 2i,50i pounds.
 This paper was bought from ihe Graham Paper Company of St Louis, and at a price only obtain able on large orders. and yet the price was practically double that prevailing before the war, and therefore adds very material bur- den to the publishers.
 The tendency all over the country is to advance subscription prices generally to Si.50 per year for weekly issues. and in many instances to S2. There is no question but this is as much justified by conditions as IS the increased selling price on any product handled by merchants who. like the publishers must pay more for their supplies
 The Star has held out against this course, except for a slight increase in daily rates, tho it's expenses have been increased in almost every de- pertinent, but if there is no re- version to normal conditions and prices of print paper. inks and other materials, it is only a question oi time until it must follow the lead of other papers. and other business institutions.
 II cannot pay higher prices than normal for everything it buys and not take some step to make receipts meet expenditures.
 The Star sees in good roads and our proposed highway a great force for the upbuilding of our eommun- ity: it believes they will be helpful in making better living, better citi- zens, better neighbors, more pros perity: that they will be worth all they cost and more. On this broad belief it bases it's efforts seeking the greatest good to the greates number. IL also has so much pride in Polk county that it does not want the world to point finger of scorn and say That community. by failing to build it's link, broke in two a great national highway"

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or callus SO it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says thisCincinnati authority, because
few drops of freezone applied de-
rectly on tender, aching corn or cal
lus, stops soreness at once and soon
the corn or hardened callus loosens so
it can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of Freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like charm
every tnme. ------ 1-Adv.

Range: Breeds throughout the
United States and most of Canada;
winters generally in the United States.
Habits and economic status: The
general habits Of the crow are uni.
versally known. Its ability to COM
NIT such misdeeds as pulling corn
and stealing eggs and fruit and to get
away unscathed is little short of mar.
velous. Much Of the crows success
In life ts due to cooperation, and
the social instinct of the species has
it's highest expression in the winter
roosts. which are sometimes frequent
ed by hundreds Of thousands OF crows.
From these roosts daily flights of
many miles are made in search OF
food. Injury to sprouting corn Is the
most frequent complaint against this
species. but by coating the seed grain
with coal tar most Of this damage may
be prevented. Losses OF poultry and
eggs may be averted by proper housing
and the judicious use OF wire netting.
The insect food of the crow includes
wireworms. cutworms, white grubs,
and grasshoppers. and during out.
breaks OF these insects the crow rem
ders good service. The bird is also
an efficient scavenger. But chiefly
because OF its destruction Of beneficial
Wild birds and their eggs the crow
must be cIassed as criminal, and a
reduction in its numbers in localities
where It is seriously destructive is
iustihabIe.
