ITS WORTH MORE

sI Haven't Been Entirely Well Be- fore in 15 YearS," She Says
 -Tanlac Restored Health,

s"I wouldn't take thousand dollars cash for the good Tanlac has done me-" said Mrs. Lula Reese, who re- sides at 1859 Hicks street, Augusta, Georgia.
 Ut may sound strange, but I had suffered with stomach trouble, rheu- matism and neuralgia until l got to the place where I felt like I didn't care whether I lived or died. Everything I ate soured on my stomach and made trouble for me, and in addition to the rheumatism, fell and broke my arm and it seemed like my other troubles kept it from healing up like it ought to. I just lived in misery all the time and couldn't get any relief.
 T have just finished my second bot tie of Tanlac, and it's surprising tho way I have improved, considering that I haven't been entirely we'll before in fifteen years. The rheumatism and soreness is gone from my arm, my stomach is all right and can eat any thing I want and digest it. I have gained some in weight, am able to do my work and feel good all the time. I want everybody to know what Tan lac did for me-"

FUEL Is SERIOUS NATTER
Every Piece of Wood should be Savet

Secretary Redield has written the

TO the Employees Of the Department

"A friendly talk about coal. This

heating apparatus under their control.

appliances.
May not each OF us lie his own fuel
administrator? None of us want to
be cold next winter, but what are we
ourselves doing to prevent it?
suppose we ask ourselves a few
simple questions. DO we so understan,
the furnace in our house that we
KNOW it is giving the most heat for
'he least fuel? Have we made a study
ol the art Uor it is an art) of firing
Il furnace? Is the furnace kept clean
from beginning to end of the season.

'ec'ed In Il furnace reduces its heating
power and uses more coal to do IRIS
work: II the heating apparatus is a
S'eam or not water, are the pipes COW
ered near the furnace, where the steam
or water is hottest? Sometimes fo-
lack of care to these points the COLLAR

mouse last ana least. DO we LET tbo
mouse get hot and then open windows
TO cool it? That wastes coal which
would be saved by closing some of
IN" radiators. a study of your heat
ing system will reward yoa in com.
tort and money.
wood can be used to tide over an
emergency. Are YOU saving the wood

or another way, and are you taking
steps to obtain wood? This. YOU know.

public foe or a public friend. 1t is
the latter if it is made available for

After all the fuel problem is large

use every kind of it that we can make

Shall we not try together as a pa

BOARD FOR FREE TUITION.
Clemson Scholarships Have Served
PurpOsc-ENvOrs Loan Fund.

Clemson College, July 1S.-The
board of visitors, which made a close
inspection of Clemson College early
In May, has made it's report to the
board of trustees, II summary Of
which follows:
, 1T is matter Of great regret that
some plan can not be devised more
fully to acquaint the people Of South
Carolina with the size of the college
and the extent of the work which is
being so efficiently done i'm the inter
est Of the entire state and especially
farmers. We feel sure, if the people
could only know the facts that every
true Carollnian would take every
possible opportunity to point with
pride to this great institution and
that those who have charged the ad-
ministration with extravaganza and
wastefulness would be effectively
silcnced."
Much pleasure is expressed ut the
attractive and healthy appearance o.
the student body" and the splendid
spirit OF the entire corps. Favorable
comment is also made upon the quail
ity, variety and good preparation OF
the meals served students and the very
low cost.
Regarding State scholarships, for
which the college has expended since
1907 about $22O,O00, the report says
in part: Undoubtedly these scholar
ships served good purpose many
years ago when opportunities for ag-
ricultural graduates were not pronis-
ing. .uncer existing conditions, how,
ever, there appears to be less reason
for scholarships i'm agriculture than
III any other course -. We would
recommend that the present method
CT giving scholarships be abolished
ana that a system be adopted in lieu
thereof that will enable the college to
lend those boys who need it enough
funds to complete the course. This
viii not only accomplish the present
most laudable purpose Of giving proper
ana adequate assistance i'm meritOr-
ious cases, but at the same time will
save approximately $4,000 "a year to
the college for much needed improve
ments. This will benefit all rather
than a few favored students"
The board also recommends the fol-
lowing:
That every reasonable effort be
made TO stimulate interest i'm the tex
tile industry work, as 20 per cent. OF
the whit3e people of tho state arc en-
Gagod i'm textile purpsuits. That Il
modern and adequate system of wa
ter he installed for the entire campus
That the new hospital be completed
aG soon as possible. That there be
free tuition for all or none. The re-
port concludes with favorable com
Mcnt upon the system used i'm tho
presidents and trcasurer's Office.

members -. r. McKeithan. III. Il
