ENDORSES TANLAC
"YOU Will Hardly Know Me When

One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with their I'M
qualified endorsements of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans,
former mayor of Birmingham, Ala,
ex-State Examiner of Public Ac-
counts Of Alabama, and one time edi-
tor of one of the Souths leading
newspapers--The Birmingham Age
Herald.
Writing to personal friend in At
lanta, Mr.. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb, 2, 1916.
".....-....-..... BY the way, you will
hardly know me when we meet again
because am getting well and strong
again. AS | told you while in Atlanta
last month, have been suffering n
long time with gastritis, as the doc
tors call it--really a disordered stom-
ach with consequent constipation,
pains in the shoulders. headache,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep and fainting spells For
weeks | could not sleep on my back
zone week ago, upon recommended
ton of friends, who had tried the me-
dicine, purchased one bottle of Tan
lac and began taking it. Since my
second dose | have suffered none of
these troubles to which | refer, and

ENSILAGE CORN
Plant Early to Insure Maximum
Growth Before Frost Late
Planting a Mistake.

Seed corn not home grown, which
is to be used in growing silage crops,
should be planted early this year,
corn specialist of the United States
Department of Agriculture advise 1t
is an expensive mistake very gen
orally to plant the ensilage corn last,
it is explained. For ensilage crops it
will be necessary this year to supple
ment the small supply of home grown
seed in the Northern States with seed
of good termination from farther
south. This seed should be planted
two or three weeks earlier than the
homegrown seed.
After several years of testing, the
Bureau of Plant Industry, Office of
Corn Investigations, has established a
fact which should be utilized by dali
rymen and growers of ensilage corn
in the NORTHERN States. When vari-
cites of large corn to be used for en-
silage--commonly called ensilage var
ieties-from Virginia or Missouri, for
example, are planted in the Northern
States late in May they make a rapid
long jointed, tender, succulent growth.
They are so green when fall frosts oc-
cur that they make silage which is
too sloppy and sour But the same
varieties planted early in May make
slower, harder growth, withstand
spring frosts and summer drought
better, produce more grain, and reach
more advanced condition of matur-
ity. Fall frosts, not spring frosts, are
most to be feared, the specialists say.
Home Grown Varieties.
Homegrown varieties do not need
and are not benefited by unusually
early planting as are the ensilage va
rieties. Although dwarfed and rip
ened by early planting, the large
growing varieties will make ample
stock growth and the silage made
from them will be richer and sweeter
because of the early planting.
Although by the 4th of July corn
planted in June may be as large as
corn planted in May, it will be soft
and watery when fall frosts come
and not in good condition for SLIDING
as the early May corn. Corn planted
early needs frequent and early cult.
vations to dry and warm the soils
surface. If the soil surface in the
Northern States in May is wet it is
also cold, and the corn can not grow
Stirring the soil causes the surfac,
to dry rapidly. 1t will then Absorb
heat and feel warm to the hand, Will,
uncultivated soil few feet away will
feel colder.

Main street home, on Tuesday after
noon, as a compliment to Miss Wayne
d. Robertson, a bride of this week.
The house was beautifully decorated
with holly and Christmas bells. As
the guests arrived they were invited
into the living room, where the show
Ell gifts were gracefully arranged
on a line across one corner. Hot
chocolate and waters were dispensed
in the dining room throughout the
afternoon. The honoree was becom-

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE WINS
IN THE LOWER HOUSE

Washington, January TO- Woman
suffrage by federal constitutional
amendment won in the House tonight
with exactly the required number of
affirmative votes.
While members in their seats and
throngs in the galleries waited with
eager interest the House adopted by
a vote Of 274 to 1876 a resolution pro-
viding for submission to the States
of the so-called Susan B. Anthony
amendment for national e1fvaachise-
ment of women.
But for the promise of Speaker
Clark to cast his vote rom he chair
for the resolution if i We re dc |.
the change of a SINCE vote to the
opposition would have meant defeat.
Republican Leader M IN who came
from Baltimore hos ital, where he
has been under treatment ever since
Congress convened, a1d Representa-
tive Sims, of Tennessee, just out of a
sick bed as result Of a fall, and
hardly able to walk to his seat,
brought votes that set led the issue.
The House hardly had adjourned
before the suffrage champions began
their fight for favorable action on
the Senate side of the capitol. Recent
polls there have indicated that the
necessary two-thirds could not be
mustered, but, encouraged by the
House victory and counting upon the
influence Of President Wilson who
came to their support last night, the
suffragists hope to bring the Senate
into line, SO as to have the amend
ment before the State legislatures
during the coming year. They feel
sure, at least, of forcing vote in
the Senate before the present session
ends.

LIQUOR FLOWS IN STREETS

The death sentence has been de-
clared against John Barleycorn many
a time and oft, but yesterday began
the cruelest sentence of all against
the elusive law offender. By order
of Judge D. B. Puryear of the first
division of the criminal court. Sheriff
Tate was directed to pour all liquors
seized by the sheriff's office during
the past year down the sewers at
the county Jail. The only exceptions
made were liquors still held to be
used as evidence against various al
legged violators of the liquor laws
who are under indictment and await
ing trial
To be sure that the job was well
done, George w. Persons, foreman
Of the grand jury, and several mem
bers of the jury attended the obse-
duies. A dozen negro TRUSTEES opened
the cases of liquor, opened the bot
ties and sorrowfully poured out the
odoriferous contents, while the unfor-
tunate inmates of the jail, who were
in no position to taste or handle, al
most wept when they smelled the
pungent odor of Shorty" Three
hundred and fifty cases of whiskev
were in the lot to be destroyed, worth
at bone dry prices about $4,000. The
liquor was not all poured out yester-
day, and it may be nightfall today
before the job is completed.-Mem-

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
THE LANDLESS MAN

A Texas banker has outlined a plan
by which the man with no land can
buy a farm by the aid of the new
farm loan act. 1t is simply thar
landowners who wish to sell accept
the money that can be borrowed on
the land as their first payment, and
allow the purchaser to give series
of longtime, second mortgage notes
for the balance of the purchase mon
ey. He is urging bankers to join in
campaign to induce landowners to
sell on these terms.
The thing can be done. Doubtless
it will be done in many cases. But
it can be done only when the seller
of the land can afford to wait a long
time for part of his money, and when
the purchaser has the sort of reputa-
ton that can be added to the second
mortgage as an asset.
The new law should be of some SER
vice in enabling the man without
land to get home, and possibly in
helping to bring about a better dis
tribution Of the big bodies of land
held by men lacking the capital to
work them, or simply holding on for
possible advance in prices. But
it will not solve either the tenant
problem or the problem of injurious
speculation in land. Only shifting
of taxes from the improvements put
on the land to the site or social val
ue of the land itself can do that

YOUNG MEN TO BE DRAFTED
AS THEY ATTAIN MAJORITY

Washington, January 15.-4The gov
eminent has decided on draft regis
tration Of all young men as fast as
they become q years old, as the
means of keeping filled the ranks
of the war army 1t was decided
against raising the draft age limit
above 81 years.
An administration bill was intro
duced today at the request Of the
War Department by Chairman Cham
berlain, of the Senate Military Com
mittee, to register for draft service
all men who reached II since June
5, 1917, when the draft law became
effective. The administration sup
port seems to assure its prompt pas
sage. The bill agrees with the recent
recommendation of Provost Marshal
General Crowder.
Other administration bills intro
duced today by Chairman Chamber
lain at the request of the War De-
partment will supplement the draft
law to make it workable under con-
ditions that have developed One
would permit furloughing of national
army troops for harvesting of crops
army troops for harvest work or 9th
er civilian duty, another would elm
mate enemy alien population from
basis of calculations for draft quotas
by making the basis for each state
the number of men available in Glass
one.
The bill to permit troops to 60 to
agricultural work merely would au-
thorize the secretary of war to fur
Tough men for civilian duty. 1t is
known however, that the War De-
partment intends to use the authority
principally to provide men for har-
vest time and other agricultural work
vital to the food supply.
To facilitate collection of private
insurance policies held by troops an
other bill would require private in
surance companies to accept the Of
fetal army record as proof of death
of men among the army insured. 1t
is designed to meet the cases of men
reported missing to which there. is no
actual proof of death. In cases Of
payment by insurance companies upon
poncies of men reported missing and
who later should appear, the bill
provides for reimbursement to the in
surance companies by the govern
ment.
Exemption Of the government from
payment of the new war tax on auto
mobiles is the purpose of another
bill introduced by Senator Chamber
lain to deal principally with the large
government purchase of motor trucks.

FROM THE BUREAU OF
INTERNAL REVENUE

"What deductions are allowed a
farmer for business expenses in
making out his income tax return 2"
This is one of the many questions
which revenue officials who will visit
every county in the United States dur
ing January and February, will an
swer in detail. Briefly, they include
the amount expended for labor in the
preparation Of land for crops, and in
the cultivation harvesting and mar
keting of the crop. Deductions may
be made for the cost of seed and
fertilizer, the amount expended for
labor in caring for live stock, cost
of feed, repairs to barn and other
farm buildings, but not the cost of
repairs to the dwelling. The cost Of
repairs to farm fences and machinery
is. deductible, as we'll as the cost Of
small tools and material which is used
up in the course of year or two,
such as binding Irvine, pitchforks,
spades. etc.
The cost of machinery, such as
tractors and thrashing machines, can
not be deducted, but the cost Of their
operation is a deductible item.
The value of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced in 1916 and sold
in 1917, the amount received there
for is to be included in the farmers
tax return for the calendar year 1917.
Crops produced in 1917 and on hand
December 81 need not be considered.
Persons in doubt as to any Of the pro
visions of the income-tax section Of
the war-revenue act are advised by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue to
see the revenue officer who will visit
their county to assist taxpayers in
making out their returns, which must
be filed on or before February II,
1918.
The income tax officer will be in
Covington on February II, and will
remain here until February 20.

TENNESSEE COMMISSION
FOR THE BLIND

The Tennessee Commission for the
Blind, which was created at the last
session of the legislature, has opened
its office with an executive secretary
in charge, for the initial work Of
registering the blind of Tennessee. The
Commission is composed of J. G.
Creveling, Jr., of Nashville, Milton
J. Anderson, of Memphis, and G. H.
Myers, of Chattanooga. The main
purpose Of its work is to provide en-
ployment for the blind of the State,
by which they may become self-sup-
porting members Of society. One or
more schools for industrial training
and work shops for the adult blind
viii eventually be established, equip
ped and maintained.
The immediate work before the COM
mission is the preparing of a registry
Of the blind, describing their condi-
ton, cause of blindness, and capacity
for education and industrial training.
Upon this registry or survey future
work will be based.
Another department that will fol-
low will be a bureau of information
and industrial aid to help the blind
find employment and develop home
industry. 1t will also facilitate the
circulation of books and help to pro-
mote visits among the aged or help
less blind in their homes.
This is work that appeals to all
people, and in which the State should
have the hearty cooperation of the
citizens and agencies already organ
lied. Many other states already have
such commissions with departments
well organized, and work shops and
schools in actual operation. Tonnes
see, it is hoped, will soon take her
place along with them.
One thing about such work is that
at this time its importance is empha-
sized by the demands that are fore
seen on account of the war. The
members of the Tennessee Commits
sion are keeping this in mind, and
hope to be ready for whatever de-
mands are made.

LIFE ON A SUBMARINE

Speaking of life on a submarine,
one of Uncle Sans naval officers,
stationed on one Of these under-sea
terrors, says:
Every minute the men are in the
submarine means the risk of pneu-
monia and tuberculosis.
"The entire inside of the boat
sweats like a pitcher of ice water
on a hot day. Before we are on it
for three hours our clothes are soak
ed, and they stay that way. We have
absolutely no heat. which means
that the boat is in the temperature
of the outside air. Sometimes we
nearly freeze. The doctors say that
the men on a submarine never sleep;
they merely become unconscious for
brief intervals. The air, the odors
from the machinery, the constant vi
bration and the intense strain under
which you labor makes sleep an i'm
possibility.
'In a storm, when we have to seal
up, the air gets worse than anything
you can imagine.
There are eighteen men and two
officers in one of our boats, and at
any moment, any one of the twenty
may cause the death Of all the rest.
"There is no room for mistakes.
"The space in which the men live is
80 feet long and about 10 feet wide.
