Alabama Woman Says Her Case Had Been Given Up As Hopeless
 Gains 23 Pounds on Tanlac.

"I went On visit to my old home not long ago and, honest, my own sister didn't know me at first, I'd improved so much" was the aston ishing statement made by Mrs. J. D. Morrison, of 1403 Avenue F, Ensley, Alabama, "and all my neighbors are asking what I have found to put me on my feet again, for my case had been given up as hopeless months ago.
 q had chronic stomach trouble the last three years that got worse and worse. in spite of all the medi- cine l took, till l was a nervous wreck. l lived on raw eggs and i quid foods and was feverish and bill icus and restless most of the time. l was operated on at the hospital and came out living skeleton and the operation didn't do me any good, so far as restoring my health was con cerned.
 ''I started in taking Tanlac and af ter the first bottle I began to notice my appetite increasing so when l had finished the third bottle I was eating right along whatever I wanted and could sleep good at night. l have gained 23 pounds and am now doing my housework, as well as the wash ing, and nothing seems to hurt me. Tanlac beats everything l ever tried and I wouldn't give one bottle of it for all the other medicines in the country"

saddlebags. His name was Hammond, and said he was taking this corn to his brother-in-law in the Indian Ter ritory. The corn he had was So hard and firm that the idea occurred to me that it was perhaps imperious to the corn weevil. So I persuaded him to let me have this corn, and l planted it in alternate rows with the Iowa Dent variety.
 I confessed I was amazed at the wonderful production of this blending of the two varieties. l made enough from one peck of this blend to plant 15o acres in the following year, be- sides giving my neighbor some for planting.
 I have distributed this improved Hammond corn among my neighbors up and down White river for the last eight or ten years, and it is not amiss to say that all those in my neighbor- hood who planted the Hammond have their cribs full, while those who planted other varieties are already .6uyine corn for feed and seed. The tenants on my place, 14 families, have from 500 to 1,20O bushels each | in excess of their next years need.
 The drouth resisting quality of my corn. I believe, is abundantly proven in our 1916 yield, for in this section of the state, excepting two light showers, we had no rain from June 4 to October 2, a period covering prac- tically the whole growing season. Yet for all this, we made on the whole place the high average of 80 bushels per acre So I feel well justified in laying claim to it's great drouth-re- sisting qualities.
 Sam Greene, widely known levee builder of Columbus, Kansas, saw this crop growing in August last and stated to me he had never seer such corn growth in all his experi- ence in the states of Kansas, Missour and Iowa.
 The cultivation of this corn is nc secret nor does it differ from th' methods pursued by any up-to-dat' corn grower I break land for corr early in December, blowing deep, an' blowing under all stalks, weeds, etc for humus.

KEEL'S METHOD OF
 GROWING CORN.

During the last 15 years l have been asked by many inquiring indi- viduals how I succeed in raising so much corn per acre, and for the in- formation of the public l am writing this in explanation.
 For many years of my farming life I bought seed corn from Northern seed houses, and the best yield l could get was from 20 to 30 bushels, One day a Methodist preacher came along with some flint seed corn in his

No More Men Will Be- Accepted
Until After Draft Bill
Becomes Law.
TO PROTECT INDUSTRY
Civilians Are Also Excluded From
Appointment to Officers Train
ing Camps Until Further
Notice Is Given.

Washington, Aug. spending dis
position of the bill to extend draft
ages to include all men between Is
and As years, voluntary enlistments
in the army and navy have been sus-
pended completely to prevent disrup-
ton of industry.
Orders were issued by Secretaries
Baker and Daniels directing no volun-
tary enlistments be accepted until
further orders.
The orders also exclude civilians
from appointments to officers training
camps until further notice.
The orders were issued after con-
ference between Secretaries Baker
and Daniels and were made public
after President Wilson had visited the
Offices of both. It is not known
whether his visit had to do with the
enlistment situation, but just before
he conferred with the. cabinet officers
there, was no indication that step
of such drastic nature was contem-
plated.
It was explained that the view of
the government is that many of the
older men are indispensable in their
present occupation, but the natural re-
suit of the debate on the draft age
question is certain to lead to rush
to the recruiting Offices. 1t is regard
ed as essential that men greatly need
ed at home should be prevented from
rushing into the army under a mis-
taken. idea that they are certain to be
drafted anyhow and prefer to join the
service voluntarily.
Liberal Exemption Probable.
1t was evident that plans for ap-
plying 9the new draft limitations to
the older men include very careful
classification of each individual to de-
termine his position at home and prob
ably far more liberal construction
of industrial exemption rules than has
heretofore been the case.
