l.. k. Rowe, one of the best known street car conductors in Memphis, Tennessee, living at 2121 Carr Ave, recently gave one of the strongest indorse- ments for Tanlac yet publish ed in the south. Captain Rowe said:
 'I firmly believe Tanlac saved my life, for I have gained ten pounds and feel like a boy again, after suffering for over a year with stomach trouble and indigestion. got to the place where even milk and eggs hurt me, and l could no more think of eating a substantial meal than 1 would so much scrap iron. Gas would form in my stomach and swell me up un- til could hardly breathe and it was just a task for me to stay on my car. 1 tried everything l could get hold of, and noth- ing relieved me until l started taking Tanlac.
 Everybody who knows me, 4 from the superintendent of the company on down is talking about the remarkable change in me since 1 started taking Tanlac. am full of vim and energy all the time, mystrength has returned and every trouble l had has left me. l am glad to tell people about this great medicine"

QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
To Prevent Dumping and JostIlnu Of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Small calves should not be bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this Is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet in size,
In each Of which a calf may be kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grain and racks for hay. After the
calf Is old enough to run with the
others 1t is placed with them in a
larger pen. Sanctions are fixed on
one side Of this pen to provide for the
separate feeding Of the calves, so as
to insure that each receives its proper
care. Racks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach Of the calves
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity Of having light, dry
quarters for the calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, in order that the
pen always may be dry. Lack Of at
tentiOn to these matters is very likely
to allow the development Of the vari
GUS calf diseases.
After the calf is a few weeks old, it
can stand considerable cold If 1t is
kept dry and has dry quarters. Pro.
vision also should be made to allow
the calves plenty Of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may be let out In the exercise lot for
short period each day when the
weather is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves are kept together in
a large pen 1t is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied
When they are loose the milk often is

THE USUAL STORY.

"You need not talk bone-dry prohibit
ton to me-" says County Commissioner
Charnock Of Sioux Falls, s. D. III
from no other than a strictly business
basis, would be strong for it. The
county charges have dropped one-half
in the past six months. Many Of the
floaters, who were always asking aid
in the winter, have gone and the fell
lows who used to drink up their wages
are now spending their money for ne
cessities. There are only about ten or
twelve county prisoners in the jail
now and our bill for their jail main
tenance will be about $3.50 this winter,
as against $1,000 last winter"

Red-blooded men Of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemIc, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time Of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes ''pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic pe0~
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel thAe
tired, worn or feverish condition In the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers Of good al
terative and blood purifier. Such a one
is extracted from Blood root Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tanned in ready-to-use tablet form in
sixty-cent walls, as druggists have sold
it for fifty years as Doctor Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t Is Q
standard remedy that can be obtained
in tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have .
movement daily, In order to eliminate

Father DUFFY
/: |: /: |:
New York Timesl

There are heroes and heroes;
some who achieve fame in hot
blood, in fine frenzy winning their
laurels; others who have heroism
thrust upon them in the imminent
deadly breach, for life is dear; but
rarer is the hero whose flame of
Valor burns luminously, steadily, in
spiringly, whenever death confronts
men and there is need of the stout
heart and the soul that loves it's
kind. Such a hero is Father Duffy,
chaplain of the One Hundred and
Sixty-fifth Regiment, the old Sixty
ninth, to whom General Pershing
has awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross.
Father Duffy is the hero of reg
iment of which heroism is always
expected. Chaplain and noncom-
batant. he devoted himself, when it
crossed the Ourcq on July 2S in a
hell of fire. to bringing in the
wounded as we'll as to bending to
the last words of the dying, oblivious
of danger, thinking only of those in
danger, tireless in helplessness,
spending his strength in good deeds
tender Father Duffy!
In making the award, which so
many brave soldiers covet, General
Pershing said of the chaplain's work
on the three terrible days from July
% to 81:
Despite constant and severe bonn
bardment, with shells and aerial
bombs, he continued to circulate in
and about the two aid stations and
hospitals, creating an atmosphere of
cheerfulness and confidence by his
courageous and inspiring example"
Long before the decoration was
bestowed upon Father Duffy the
men of the old Sixty-ninth wanted
to have his praises sounded, so that
New York should be as proud of
their hero as they were, but a Wig
liant censor deleted his name from
the dispatches. OF what avail? The
censor may have done his duty as he
saw it, but now. all America, and
England. too. no doubt, is ringing
with the story of how Francis P.
Duffy did his duty. as he loved to
do it, on the stricken field of Villers
Fere.
