1USHEL MEASURE MORE
STANDARD THAN SACK

Many growers, particularly in the
territory where fields seeds and crops
are sold commonly by the sack ask
Why the United States department of
agriculture estimates crop production
by bushel measure instead of by sack
or hundred weight. The reason is
t&at 9O.00O,OOO people in 40 states of
the union think, talk and measure by
bushels, the bushel being the stand
ard unit of measure throughout this
aXea. The bushel measure is definite,
and congress and the states have
stabilized it and specified the number
Of pounds of different commodities
legally constituting a bushel. The
census figures Of crop production
nave all been reduced to bushels for
all commodities for which legal
weights have been used and doubt
less will be used until a different unit
Of measure has been adopted.
A sack--the unit of measure in
some sections-is' not definite and can
not be made so, except by legal en-
actment, standardizing the weight per
volume for the different commodities.
Oranges and apples are thought about
Ind talked about in boxes, dried fruits
in pounds or tons, and it is doubtful
il custom will permit Of a material
change. In handling green fruits in
large quantities the ton is the most
practical unit of measure, but for
small quantities the lug box varies in
size from 80 to 40 and SO to 60 pounds,
there is more or less confusion unless
Market quotations are made on the
basis Of lug boxes Of specified sizes.
The GENITAL or hundrded weight ap-
pears to be the most practical unit of
measure and is coming into general
use in the purchase and sale OF grains
and vegetables. If the bulk handling
of grain becomes general, as now
seems likely, the sack will disappear,
and the Genital or bushel will take its
place. jE ,.'
= The following weights per bushel
are used by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in all estimates of
crop production:
Z Apples, 4S pounds; beans (dried),
60; clover seed, 60; corn (shelled),

 COmpany's Store

There is aAplace where Santa's foot prints are plainly visible. You can see them from the window of the Wilcox Electric company. located at s1S North Nineteenth street.
 He left big Christmas tree, all loaded down with electrical gifts on a bed of glistening snow, and he was careful not to forget any member of the family. There are electric toasters percolator for mother, heater for dads office. or an electric vibrator to rub dads tired head when he calls it a day and comes home to rest. For big sis there are electric irons and curling tongs made in one or separate, for the girl or boy off at school there are electric chafing dishes, and for the bride there are lots of brand-new style boudoir lamps, and for the kfddies are the string of Christmas tree langs For grandmother there are the heating pads that make the bed so comfortable and never burn or get too hot.
 Santa Claus displayed wonderful taste in arranging this tree. It is one of the prettiest. that he has fixed this year.

ENABLES HER ID
 TAKE LONG TRIP
Henkle Says Wife Improved So Much on Taking Tanlac She Boasts of Her
 Health

After years of suffering Tanlac sure and she often. boasts of how well she is feeling," said George H. Henkle of 1902 Eastlands avenue, Nashville, Tenn.
 For years," he continued. she was almost d confirmed dyspeptic and she suffered also from nervous affection. Right after meals gas would form on her stomach, which kept her in distress most all the time. She always had to be most careful about her eating and was troubled at times with diZzRess and swimming of the head. For aTong time she had wanted to take trip north, but couldn't do so on account of her condition.
 When she saw Tanlac advertised and so many people indorsing it, she decided to try it and found almost im- mediate relief. Tanlac gave her a fine appetite and put her stomach in fine shape so she could eat and enjoy her meals without having any trouble aft erwards. She hasn t complained of dizziness or swimming of the head since starting on it. and that nervous condition has also quite disappeared. Tanlac built her up so she was enabled to take trip north, where she was gone four months, and she wasn't sick a minute of the whole time she was away. She is delighted with what Tan lac has done for her and thinks there is no other medicine like it."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton Pope Drug Co.-Adv.
