TO DO HoUSEWORK
SPARTANBURG WOMAN SAYS
SHE NO LONGER NEEDS
HIRED GIRL
EXPLAINS REASONS
Mrs. Cannon Declares 1t was Surpris-
ing the Way Tanlac Restored
Her.

Though it had been necessary, be-
cause of her i'll health, to have nurse
to assist in caring for the baby and
help with the housework, Mrs. C. C.
Cannon, of 375 Vernon St., Spartan
burg, S. c., who took dozen bottles
of Tanlac, declared that "the Tanlac
made me feel well and strong, and
really l am stronger and healthier
than l have been in years"
Discussing her bad health, Mrs
Cannon said: 81 suffered from
general weakness. ! felt badly lot
also of the time, and never was able
to do my housework. l had to keep
nurse, as l could not lift the baby
much, and also had to have help in
my housework. l always have been
week and frail. Before 1 began TAX
ing Tanlac l had been almost COM
pletely broken down, had lost my ap-
petite and was somewhat subject TO
indigestion. l suffered lot with my
back, which ached and panied me.
Il had heard so much about Tan
lac finall began taking it, and
have taken dozen bottles. The Tan
lac, increased my appetite great deal
and built up my system. 1t was sur
prising the way l gained health and
energy, and my appetite was restored.
l haN" not been troubled with my
back since / took Tanlac, and | am
able to do my housework and care for
the baby without the help of a hired
girl am glad to recommend Tan
lac, for it did so much for me-"

Spy System, Originated by italian.

Secret service organizations and
spy systems, as well as detective bu-
reaus as part Of municipal police
forces, were originated by the Mar
quis D'Argenson, a native Of Venice
who went to France in 1857 and be-
came head of the police department.
D'Argenson first achieved fame as
a state secret agent in Venice. In
Paris he organized a municipal secret
agency hat would now be called a de-
tective bureau. After he had trans
formed the Paris police force from a
dlsorderly band into a highly efficient
body of gendarmes, he turned his at
tention to international affairs and in
augurated a system Of espionage in
foreign nations likely to be at war
with France.
Carl Stieher organized the Prussian
spy system on the model furnished by
D'ArgensOn's force and sent thousands
Of men into Austria and France be-
fore the against those countries.

WORK OF OLD MEN IN WAR

"Old men for counsel" is the saying;
''young men for war" But this war

mains so energetic that he still de-
erv his cognomen of the tiger"
Joffre was an old a when he won

sOn is past sixty. But o of them
seems to require the Osler method of

says the Spokane Spokesman Review.
These veterans do not flag superfluous
on the stage" Cato learned Greek at
eighty. Chaucer composed his Can

to the end and his Faust was not
completed till he had overlived eighty.

State Schools Remain
Open During Jure

Pierre, April l2.-Some of the
schools Of the state will need be kept
open to the last day of June this year
to get their share Of the state appor-
tionment fund, according to the, opin-
ion of Attorney General Payne, given
at the request Of State Superintendent
Shaw, in his query covering the eff
fects Of the epidemic which raised sc
much trouble with the schools as well
as all other affairs of the state last
fall and winter The holding in effect
is that that even months school is re-
CURED to secure the state apportion-
ment, unless it is impossible to get in
that amount of time prior to the last
day of June, which is the last day of
the school year. In case of legally
discontinued schools for a period
which would make It impossible to
put in that time prior to the last day
Of June, the impossibility is held to
be considered in the matter or appOr-
tionment. If the schools were open
early enough last call to allow seven
months of schooling within the year
the requirements will be met when
eve that time has expired. But if
they were not so opened then it will
be necessary to continue school to the
last day of June to make good on the
requirements If a teachers contract
has expired, that is no excuse for fail
ing to continue the school. as a new
contract will be required to make
good. Either sever months of school,
or open school to the last day of June
is held to be the requirements to Sc
cure the apportionment fund from the
state.
In another opinion it is held that
women having the qualifications of
voters under the equal suffrage
amendment adopted by the people at
the FAST election, may vote at all city
O'0Ss'oho' pio'iuou Ihot thSS 4 1870
tered, and that such rights of suffrage
have existed ever since the adoption
of the amendment last fall, and that
every provision of statute which limits
the qualifications of electors to males.
is repealed by the constitutional
amendment which gives the right of
suffrage to women.

TURK FIGHTS WITH FISTS
Story Of a GaIIlpoli "Scrap" That
Speaks Well for the "Un.
speakabie."

There is a tale of Gallipoli that
deals with a fight in the open and ex-
hibits the "unspeakable" Turk as a
fair and worthy enemy. This is the
story
A young English officer, doing OBJ
servation work alone, was suddenly
confronted by a Turkish officer. SINH
larry engaged. The Turk was as sur
prised as the Briton, but came forward
revolver In hand. The Englishman
had no revolvers. He stood his ground,
his hands in the large pockets Of his
tunic.
Seeing that his adversary was un-
armed, the Turk, much to the surprise
of the Briton, threw down his gun and
put up his fists in approved prize ring
style. The Englishman put himself
on guard, and the next moment the
Turk flung himself on him, and the
pair began to fight desperately.
The men were about the same age,
the same weight and had adequate
knowledge of the art Of boxing. They
fought without stopping for about ten
minutes. By that time each was ex-
hausted, and then paused for a brief
rest, only to continue their little private
accounting when they had found their
breath.
Round after round the fight went on,
while out in the Gulf Of Saros the
ships fired automatically, and back
Of each of them the field artillery
Numbered. Neither seemed to be able
to get any decisive advantage over the
other, and at last Turk and English
man rolled over on the ground and
laughed and laughed.
Just then the Englishman's hand
touched something. 1t was the Turks
pistol. He picked IT up and handed 1t
to his enemy. Then the two young
men shook hands and each returned
to his W lines.
