WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HIM Tanlac Restored Health After 20 Years Suffering.
 Gained II Pounds

It's worth thousands of dollars to feel like I do now, since Tanlac has taker away the trouble that kept me in mis- cry for the last 20 years" said M B Daniel, a well known farmer living on Route ? out of Abbeville, Ga.
 Whenever a man suffers as long as I did, he gets to the place where he feels like he's no more good in this world and that's just the way I'd begur to feel. Long ago I got so weak couldn't carry on my work, for spells of stomach trouble and nervousness just made it torture for me to eat, and the trouble I had wouldn't let me sleep at all. My heart acted queer until I was afraid it would stop and 1 felt like I didn't much care if it did.
 ts.Td been we'll enough satisfied to have had my troubles relieved, but that's not all Tanlac did for me--Ive gained | pounds in weight besides. I can eat as heartily as if I had never had stomach trouble and I can do as much in a day
 yer could. I just feel like new man."

 Within ten minutes after an s.ppli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch. but what vii. please you most will be after a few weeks use. when you see new .aair, fine and downy at first--yes-lut really new hair-growing all over the scalp. little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No differ ence how dull, faded, brittle and scrag- gy, just moisten cloth with Dandcrine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light. fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incompar- able lustre. softness and luxuriance.
 Get small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine for few cents at any drug store or toilet counter. and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all--you surely can have beautiful hair and lots Of 1t if you wiu just try little Dand- orine

99,9Ol WINS AUTO IN
RAT KILLING CAMPAIGN

ATLANTA, Dec. 16.-The purchaser
Of the particular membership card to
Georgia's "Kill-The-Ra club which
bears the number 99,9O1 is now the
sole and undisputed owner of the Han
son Six Automobile which was offered
in connection with the enrolment of
10000 supporters to the Government
crusade.
Public announcement of this termi
nation of the drive was made by the
state headquarters of the campaign,
1927 Gambler Building, Atlanta, and
the holder of card No. 99,9O1 is served
notice that he or she may immediate
ly take possession of the splendid
machine by presenting the proper
credentials.
On every membership card issued
was printed a serial number. The Sc
ries had been designated by Secretary
OF State Henry B. Strange and includ-
ed the number which this official had
selected unknown to anyone, for the
1919 license tag of the car.
The hundreds of school children who
participated in the offensive against
the rodents completed their work on
Thursday and reports are now being
received at headquarters from the
committees in charge of the various
counties. The fifteen "baby bond"
prizes, offered for the largest bags"
of rats, will be awarded just as soon as
the figures can be checked.
To insure permanency of the bene-
fits the campaign has brought to the
state in the saving of thousands of
dollars worth of food and property
that make up the toll Georgia annually
pays its rodent population, the pres

EPIGRAM THAT HAS FORCE
'Terse Statement as to Value Of Man
in the Worlds Commercial
Operations.

There is a moral for all who will
seek it in the story of a Minnesota
banker, who has made O success Of
life Notwithstanding the handicap that
both legs, his left arm and the fingers
Of his right hand are missing. His
career was appropriately reviewed in
Garry On, magazine published in the
interest Of the reconstruction Of dis
abled soldiers and sailors.
The essence of this mans success
is contained In his whimsical state
ment of his philosophy. ''From his
neck down." he says, "a man is worth
about a dollar and half a day; from
his neck up he may be worth hun
dred thousand dollars a year." The
facts Of this statement apply as fore
IDLY to a man with all his limbs as
to a cripple. They constitute the
chief reason why vocational education
is increasing in popularity and why
child labor and compulsory education
laws are being made increasingly Sc
we're.
1t is fortunate epigram which has
been made by this cripple of peace
for the benefit of the cripples Of
war. The part of the man "frOm the
neck up" knows no limitations except
seIf-imposed ones.-Portland Ore
gonian.

Emotions and the Eve.

The thing we look at straightest and
most steadily is the eye Of the man or
woman who talks to US. And no emo
ton changes the glistening Of that eye.
Yet, so unobservant are we all, espe-
cially descriptive novelists, that eyes,
in fiction, always flash, and no doubt
will always flash, under the stress of
any kind of rage. The assassin of the
surgeon in Paris the other day went
to his deed, as we read in the ficti-
tious part of the report of witness,
with eyes that flashed according to
custom. Now the human eye has two
places for f1ashing-One in the clear
pupil, showing one point Of light or
more according to the light or lights
reflected; the other in the white.
Neither Of these brightnesses depends
upon the mind.

new STANDARDS FOR
COTTON FIBER COMING

WASHINGTON, December 16-New
official standards of the United States
for length of staple of cotton soon will
be described by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in a service and reg
ulatory announcement of the Bureau
of Markets.
Nine lengths specified in the stand
aids are represented by physical types
as follows: ga, rs, 1, 1-S, 1 IA,
/ 3-S, IL, l. SIS, and 1 ga inches.
Reproductions by the photogravure
process samples of cotton having
these lengths (made from the original
Official length standards) will be
shown. These photographers show
the actual measurements as nearly as
possible by any present day COM
mercial method of illustration and for
all practical purposes are the exact
lengths of the original samples.
Realizing that differences in methods
of pulling staple may be the cause
of variations in results obtained by
different classes, the Bureau of Mar
;kets has made study of the methods
used by those who are acknowledged
to be experts in this particular work.
AS result method has been de-
vised which meets with the approval
Of the Bureau and its general adpot-
ion in determining length of staple ac-
cording to these standards is recon-
mended. Photographs have been
taken of the successive motions involv-
ed in this method, which will be re-
produced in the service and regula-
tory announcement.
Material is on hand for the making
of copies of these lengths standards
and the price will be 81 for each
length standard of SO for a full set.
Anyone desiring to purchase one or
more will receive an application blank
by writing to Charles J. Brand, Chief,
Bureau of Markets, Washington, D. C.

pharaoh,s serpent,s Eaa trick.

One of the most amusing tricks In
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick,
where a little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many, many
times the size of the pellet. How awe
inspiring it is to the youngsters Most
people have no idea what in the world
causes the snake to appear. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with a voluminous ash.
The little pellet is nothing more than
some mercury sulphOcyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move OF so quickly
from the burning pellet that 1t writhes
and dlstorts itself into the shape of a
miniature snake.

MADE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
British Army Deserter Showed Daring
and Originality in Making His
Escape From Prisons.

Three daring escapes made by a
British army deserter with ten convic-
tons against hlm-all for crimes of
violeace-were described at Oldstreet
few days ago. relates London
Chronicle. The man, George Mullins,
was sentenced to six months impris-
onment in January, 1917, and was sent
to Wandsworth. There he was trained
for the army and taken to France in
handouts. In a few weeks he con-
trived to get leave and, returning to
England, deserted. He was arrested
last April, but, although handcuffed,
ne escaped from his escort. After a
brief spell of liberty Mullins was
again captured, and with FIVE others
was put in the guardroom at Wands-
worth prison. While the others danced
and sang at the top of their voices
Mullins cut hole in the wall and all
the six escaped. In the following May
the man was again arrested, and
taken this time to Bethnal Green pO-
lice station, where he was placed in
newly uuLIL ScII' ASdlu nS mdudSSO
to escape by loosening a number of
bricks, climbing through ventilator
and dropping down water pipe into
the street. The other night Mullins
was arrested by Detective Sharp in
Stepney. A big and violent crowd,
the officer said, gathered and pelted
the detective and his colleagues with
stones, weights, coal, bottles and "any-
thing they could lay their hands on.
The police, however, got away. Null
Inns is now sentenced to two months
hard labor as deserter and for dam
aging Bethnal Green police station.

Radium in Sea Salt.

Samples of sea salt collected dur
ing a recent voyage In the Pacific and
gubantarctic regions have been exam
med for their radium content. The
amount of radium was found to be
negligibly small compared with VAL
ues that have been found in others col
lected near land, and this result is in
accordance with the prevailing view
that the radium content Of sea salt
diminishes with increase Of distance
