WOULD NOT TAKE FARM
FOR TANLAC'S BENEFIT
JOE NJ yINSON DECLARES HE
HAS GAINED FIFTEEN
POUNDS
Prosperous Farmer Says He Car
Now Do as Big Days Work
As Ever

81 had rather lose my whole farm,
stock and everything on it than to be
in the fix l was before Tanlac re-
stored my health" said Joe NJ. Vim
son, a we'll known and prosperous
farmer living on Route 2 out Of Love,
Miss.
"Three years ago my stomach got
out of shape and l have been going
down hill ever since" he continued.
81 could not digest my food, and for
eight months l had to live on the
whites of eggs and buttermilk. Twas
so nervous could not sleep. and suf-
fered so, much misery from indiges-
ton that 1 felt good for nothing all
the time. Gas would form on my
stomach and swell me up so l could
not button my clothes, my headach-
ed like it would pop open, and l
would get so dizzy and blind Iwould
nearly drop. I would have awful
smothering spells and would almost
choke to death.
81 sure am a different man now
since I took Tanlac. I can eat any
thing want and never have any
trouble from it. l have gained fifteen
pounds in weight and my strength
has come back so l can do as big
days work as l ever did. All the
misery and swelling has gone from
nv stomach and the headaches are
a thing of the past. l have got such
wonderful relief from Tanlac l feel
it my duty to let the world know
about it."

Why DOCTORS
PRESCRIBE THE
new CALOMEL
Medicinal Virtues Retained And I'M
proved-Unpleasant and Salivat-
ing Qualities Removed-New
Variety Called "Cal-
otabs"

Of all the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomel most often
and depend upon it most universally.
There must be a good and sufficient
reason-what is it?
If you will study the doctors
books you will find that the medical
authorities prescribe calomel for al
most every disease. The reason is
that calomel is the greatest and only
through system-purifer. 1t makes
the liver active, drives out the pois-
on from the stomach, bowels and
kidneys and thereby purifies the
blood. Calomel puts the entire sys-
tenn in the most favorable condition
for Nature to exercise her recupera-
tive power. That is why he pre-
scribes calomel so often.
The new kind of calomel, called
"Calotabs," is refined and purlhed
from all OF the nauseating and dan
gerous qualities of the old style cal
omel and is rapidly taking its place,
for it is more effective than the old
style calomel as a livercleanser and
system-purifer. One Calotab at bed
time, with a swallow Of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor
the slightest unpleasantness. Next
morning you awake feeling fine
with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please. No restrictions
of habit or diet.
Calotabs are sold in original, seal
ed packages, price thirty-five cents.
Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists everywhere. Your money
back if you are not delighted. -

Just because woman smells of gas- oline is no sign that she runs a motor car. Maybe she has been running a bedbug.
 We can't understand why other peo- pie are not satisfied with what they have. But we all want moro ourselves.
 This would be a nicer world if men didn't want to talk about themselves when you want to talk about yourself.
 smart man accepts the advice other men give him. It makes other men feel good to hand it out, and a man doesn't have to use it.
 Every woman fears her neighbors. That is the reason why the expensive curtains are in the front windows and the raggedy curtains are in the rear windows
 The moment a wife discovers that she can boss her husband she starts in working overtime at it.
 A man wants something just like other men are wearing. But it is diff ferent with a woman. A woman expects to find genuine cut glass in the ten-cent store. But a man knowb better We never saw a horse laugh But when a horse sees 4-year-old flitver staggering up the street, he has a right to laugh.

Bright Outlook for
 Birmingham in 1920

TN ESPITE the dull period that fol- @O lowed cessation of hostilities in Europe little over a year ago, Birmingham made a very creditable record, both in commerce and indus tries during the year 1919.
 Reports of the clearing house as- |sociation show that clearances during the year went far ahead of those of 1918; while deposits in the Birrning- ham banks increased by something like six million dollars, the total in December being estimated at around sixty million dollars.
 New buildings for which permits were taken out in December were valued at over five hundred thousand dollars, which is in excess of the total of any other month since the war be- gan.
 For the new year several large buildings are contemplated, among them one or two department stores, a theatre, several apartment build ings, a two hundred thousand dollar addition to the Tutwiler hotel, two or three school buildings and an audi torium.
 | Birmingham has been very busy the greater part of 1919, but the indica- Itions are that 1920 will surpass any, thing known here in recent years in the way of new construction work.
 Not only in the matter of new buildings, business houses and indus trial buildings, but in road and street construction, Birmingham and Jef- ferson county will keep abreast of the most progressive communities in the country. The present indications are that 1920 will be one of the busi- est years in the history of Birming- ham.

plays a tremendous part in the re- suit. It is probable that Bairns- father did more for the allied cause than regiments of men, because the work of his pencil went every where and sent a laugh literally around the world.
 America will be glad to welcome Bairnsfather and will rejoice in the opportunity to learn what manner of man he is. That he has all the en- gazing qualities one would expect of the creator of his immortal cartoon characters, cannot be doubted. Such men are humanity's benefactors, whether their genius flowers in peace or war.

LACLEDE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 America may feel proprietorship in John J. Pershing, the allied world may imagine it has a claim on him, but Laclede dissents. Pershing be- longs to Laclede and Laclede knows it. If there were any doubts before, Laclede's title was perfected when the town threw wide it's gates and well comed "Johnny" with true Missourian fervor.
 Most big men come from small towns. Small towns seeme to breed in boys the qualities that make bigness in men. When little Jack Pershing was running bare-legged and patch kneed around I.aclede he was, un- known to himself and to his neigh bors, staring up something in his character that was to qualify him later to lead missions ofs American sol diers against the bulwarks of Ger many's autocratic power.
 Laclede is entitled to her glory. Something worth while would go out
 
 grow indifferent to their distinguished sons and daughters; if Americans were ever to abandon the habit of welcoming back their famous Johnnys, their Jacks and Bills and Marys Worldly honors count for nothing against the memories of childhood. Lacledes welcome was not General Pershing, but to Johnny, boy grown up but boy still.
 Americans and Europeans will con- tinue to pay honors to the general who led our troops to victory. But Laclede will honor him most For La- clede, having fathered and mothered him in youth, refuses now to be de- ceived by titles, by gold medals and distinguished service insignia. Be- heath them all, Laclede halls John Pershing who used to go barefooted and doubtless would like to now.

ON READING SHAKESPEARE
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star
 1N0RoBABLY there is not today in I any library a volume of Shakes
 peare that does not contain al- most as much editorial matter in the way of notes and criticism as text>by the author. Shakespeare. who was really one of the simplest writers, comes to readers of these times in a fog of controversy and interpretation that all but obscures him.
 The schoolmen have all but obliter- ated the poet. We cannot read "The Tempest" without being dinned at to side either with the school which says it was Shakespeare's last play or the school which says it wasn't We can not read Henry Iv' or King John" without being interrupted by the warn ing that Shakespeare reconstructed these plays from earlier ones. In out for the hand of the collaborator. There are passages in The Tanning of the Shrew." in "The Merry Wives" in .The Merchant of Venice" that could not possibly have been written by Shakespeare. and the plots of all were old when he adapted them. Greene, Kyd, Lodge, Marlowe and a dozen others had hand in them. And after Shakespeare's time in the preparation Of the stage versions of the plays, Colley cibber and another dozen turned them over again.
 All of which may be true, and for all of which we care nothing at all. It is immaterial how much has been added to Shakespeare so long as we can be sure nothing has been taken away. It does not detract from him because edi- tors cannot tell us where he got his law. Julius Caesar" does not lose anything because some scholars are agreed Shakespeare followed Plutarch closer than he should have done. King Lear, does not suffer because critics tells us the storm and Lears raging mind pEcvide coincidence too pat for reason to accept We should like to have the same critics opinion of the storm that raged over Longwood while Napoleon lay dying.
 Shakespeare. we must remember. was an actor, manager and producer as we'll as . playwright and poet He produced much hurriedly and careless- \ ly. as he had to.

 Oddly named, and quite accidentally, the tank was the most conspicuously successful novelty that the war pro- duced, It's appearance has probably marked an epoch, as the invention of artillery did. As war engine it had no primitive predecessor. It was not merely development from the ar mored motor car--the suggestion was there only as the machine gun might be said to have been suggested by the infantry rifle. The "landshipn was highly original in n'conception and struc- ture
 It's triumph was accentuated by the fact that 1t was the only machine or implement which at the end of the war was still unchalienged. Soon or late every invention brought to the aid of one side is matched by the other side Every new weapon of offense is par ried with a defensive one, every de- vice of defense is successfully attack ed Had the war gone on, that would have been the story of the tank But Lu- dendorff scoffed at it upon its first appearance, and by the time the allies were stampeding his infantry with fleets of tanks it was too late for the Germans to build opposing fleets They

H F F Great Holiday Business Is Done in Berlin

M PICTURE of amazing cheerful 6A ness and prosperity in "war- torn" Germany is given by Cyril Brown in special correspondence to the New York World.
 Berlin had an "orgy" of holiday buying such as is seldom witnessed even in America, where money is more plentiful than ever before and spending recklessly is a national characteristic. MT. Brown writes that the big department stores were liter ally stormed by shoppers, not war profiteers alone, but the rank and file of the people, who were evidently determined to get what they wanted, regardless of unprecedented prices. Guards were employed to keep shop pers at bay while those who had already reached the counters were be- ing waited on, and stores frequently closed their doors to check the rush.
 Christmas food was sold at prices unknown even in America, where the high cost of living is soaring. AL monds and walnuts sold for about forty marks pound ($5.20 in nor nal exchange rates); apples were 92 cents to $2.30 apiece; raisins were S3.45 pound; goose was $3.45; carp S2.76 per pound and other commodi. ties in proportion.
 In the famous .Postdam Platz, Alex. ander Platz and other "publie squares" of Berlin dealers in Christ. mas trees were subjected to an on. slaught of buyers. In fact, through out the capital of Germany, which shows scarcely trace of the world war, there was nothing in the be. havior of the holiday throngs to in. dicate that an impoverished nation was about to pass through the most melancholy Yuletide of its history.
