AFTER p YEARS / SUFFERING HER
 TROUBLES ENDED
Mrs. Owensby Gained IF Pounds on Tanlac and Her Health Has Been Entirely Restored,
 She Declares.

Ever since 1 was eleven years old until | started taking Tanlac, recently. I've suffered misery with my stomach, said Mrs. Katie OWensby, a we'll known Chattanooga, Tennessee, woman, living at l2l Vine St., recently.
 Yes, sir, for twenty-two long years I never knew what 1t was to be able to eat what 1 wanted without terrible suffer ing afterward, she continued. T suffered with pains between my shoulders and my stomach just felt like there was hot brick in it. It would get all bloated up from gas that form ed, and 1 would choke and smother so l could hardly get my breath. l was so nervous that often 1 couldn't lay in bed, but would get up and walk the floor for hours at the time.
 T had heard so much about the wonderful relief Tanlac was bringing suffering people that l decided to try, it. and it's the honest truth, after taking five bottles 1 havn't sign of trouble. I eat anything 1 want and never have any pains or even feel un- comfortable. The nervousness is all gone and 1 sleep sound all night long, and get up in the morning feeling fine and full of energy. I've gained twelve pounds in weight. and my i'm improvement is the talk of the neighborhood. All my friends compliment me on the way l look now. v
 Tanlac is sold in Brinkley ex- clusively by M. B. Converse and by one established agency in every town.

Smith-Hughes Agricultural Work
 Ten years ago the Page bill was introduced in the Congress of the U. S.. which provided for Industri- al Educahion. This bill failed to pass because it looked after only the Industrial interests of the G. S.. Later and largge.y as a war measure the Smith Hughes bill was intro duced in the Congress of our coun- try that was largely like the Page bill but with the addition of the teaching of agriculture. This bill carries with it large appropra- tions for the entire industrial and agricultural United States, for the purpose of teaching in a practical way the subjects mentioned under the above heads.

 Boys taking this work must give half their time to this work. This work will consist of regular text book class work, labratory, class and home project work.
 The parents must sign an agree ment to assist the boys in arang- ing for land for their project work to give time needed for the project work,to see that it is cared for, and to give all needed encourage ment to their children.
