 SAYS MRS. O'CONNER
Her Improvement After Taking
 Tanlac, Was Simply Wonderful.

"It was certainly lucky day for me when got my first bottle of Tan lac," said Mrs. John O'Conner of 338 East Oldham street, Knoxville, Tenn.
 For five or six years,' she con- tinued, q had been in dreadfully rundown and nervous condition, was awfully weak and suffered with spells of dizziness. had terrible nervous headaches and my stomach was so weak l couldn't digest even the light est kind of food. I could sleep very little and became so Respondent that was afraid nothing could help me regain my health.
 'I wouldn't have believed it if any body had told me any medicine would cause me to gain eight pounds in ten days, but that is exactly what Tanlac has done for me. Soon after I start ed taking it | began to eat better, sleep like baby and feel just fine and my steady improvement has sim ply been wonderful. I have thrown away all my other medicines and will stick to Tanlac, for I think 1t is the finest medicine on earth

ls CERTIFICATES ISSUED.
Many New Teachers Receive Licenses
 From Supt. Wilbanks.

Supt. T. J. Wilbanks last week con- cluded the task of grading the papers of applicants for teachers license at the March examination, and reports that certificates were issued to the following: Annie Billue, Belle Billue, Zula Burk, Regina Barnes, Lillian Callahan, Bertha Arnold, Pearl Comp ton, Blanche Hamby, Myrtle Sullivan, Lillle Mae Watt, Cordelia Smallwood, Bertie Mansell, Dora Keller. Ida Kel- Ter, Florence George, Irma Nichols, Myrtle Daniels, Jennie Noakes and Dudley Forsee.
 Superintendent Wilbanks states that the average grades of all appli- cants in the eleven second-gra sub Jects IS highest in agriculture, and the order of the other subjects is as fol- lows: physiology, reading, Arkansas history, United States history, geography, penmanship, arithmetic, spelling, theory and practice of teach ing and English grammar. He points out that the lowest general average Tn grades occurs in arithmetic, spell ing, theory and practice and grammar, in the order given, suggesting that with the exception of reading these are the most important branches taught in the schools.
 While statistics for comparison are not available, it is the opinion of Su- perintendent Wilbanks that this order of grades in the given subjects has been about the same in previous com- ty examinations, which leads him to suggest to prospective teachers that an effort be made to gain greater efficiency in the fundamental branches and especially does he urge upon all young teachers the necessity of study ing some standard text on theory and practice.

INDUSTRIOUS CALO- MEL BEST MEDICINE
 FOR ALAN LIVER
Calotabs, the New Kind of Calomel, Does the Work Without the Slight est Unpleasantness or Danger.

You have always thought of calomel as the best and surest medicine in the world, but too nauseating for you to take. That was the old-style calomel. Now science has taken the sting out of calomel by removing its unpleas- ant and dangerous qualities, and has kept all its good liver cleansing and system purifying effects.
 The next time you are bilious or constipated ask for Calotabs, the new nausealess calomel. Sold only in ori- einal sealed packages, price thirty five cents. One tablet at bedtime, with q swallow of water-that's all. No taste, no griping, no nausea, no salts. You wake up in the morning feeling fine, your liver active, your system purified, and with a hearty appetite tor breakfast. Eat what you please mo danger of salivation. Your money back at any drug store if you are not perfectly delighted with Calo- tabs.-Adv.

Interesting Com mnarison.

An interesting comparison in fig ures relative to highway improvement has been made by County Clerk Will Alexander. He examined the tax rec ords for 1916 and found where one ef the principal objectors to the high way project paid only $10.19 in taxes on more than 100 acres of land, while in Mena, one lot in the business dis trict paid $41.07 The owner of the city lot will have almost four times as much to pay for the highway in- provement as the objector, but he's for the highway just the same.

That would mean 5000 sheep in the
county. With such a winter as we
have had that would mean 10000
lambs and these lambs at $40 would
go on the market at around SIS a
head, on the average. That would
make our lambs alone worth two and
a quarter millions of dollars and this
is not at all extravagant, At the end
Of such a winter as we have had, the
good farmer, who sowes winter past
ure crops would find himself with a
profit of $40 per lamb. Then there
would be two or three dollars head
from the wool. His lamb would be
richer.
1t paseth my understanding that
any one should hesitate to deal death
and destruction to the dogs who dis
courage our sheep industry. The
Maury county lamb crop in single
year would be worth more than all
the dogs since time began"

ty next week. Most of the eight
months term schools will end their
sessions during the present mouth
and the pupils who complete tho
eighth grade will be promoted and
eligible for entry into tho county
High schools.
Under exceptional and almost I'M
precedented conditions the elemen.
tary schools of the county will close
remarkably successful term all
things considered. Some OF the
schools were delayed in getting down
to work last fall because OF the un-
usual scarcity of teachers. There
was bit of trouble at more than
one place in getting board for the
teacher, but finally the vacancies
were all filled and matters wore rapid
ly getting into shape for the term
when the terrible epidemic OF in
fluenza struck the county.
This epidemic completely democrat
lied the schools. They were closed
in all sections. Many Of the pupils
were sick and some Of the teachers
in the county were victims. 1t took
weeks after the ban was lifted to
get the schools back into running or
der. There has never been time
since the epidemic struck the county
that there has not been some section
where the schools have been seriously
hampered in their activities.
Owing to these unusual conditions
the attendance record is not expected
to be up to normal. However, there
has been one advantage and that has
been the mild winter. The attend
ance did not fall off In December
