itary Commissioner Boyden Bearce
between Governor Milliken. Com
missioner Bearce, representatives of

benefit to the animal industry of this

and Governor Milliken assured those

Willis Tells Why
The Tanlac Sales
Are So Enormous

These enormous sales" says G. r.
Willis, international distributor of
Tanlac. mean but one thing and that
is-merit. Tanlac is we'll advertised.
it is true. but such large and rap
idly growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
it's what the neighbors say that
counts. One bottle is sold in a neigh
borhood through advertising. but ten
more are sold in that community
after the first bottle produces results
and that's right where Tanlac scores.
People are always willing to talk
about their ailments, but they are
more than willing to tell others Of the
medicine that helps them. It's some
thing they couldn't keep to them
selves if they tried, for the impulse
to sympathize with neighbors and
want to help them is one Of the
strongest as we'll as one Of the big
gest things in human nature.
"Tanlac is producing these results"
he continued, land that is why moth
ing on earth can keep it out of the
homes of the people. 1t is not only
the most talked of medicine in the
world today. but. in my opinion. it is
the best and most efficient. And, al
though prominent officials and lead
ers throughout the country have en-
dorsed Tanlac. it's greatest prestige,
is firmly based on the unqualified en-
dorsement Of the masses Of the peo-
pie.
Not a day nor a week passes that
does not bring hundreds of state
ments from the people concerning the
good this medicine is doing and re-
citing the circumstances of remark.
able cases that would convince the
most skeptical. These are alone suf-
ficient for Tanlac but the figures are
more. The figures contained in these
enormous orders speak eloquently
and convincingly of the great good
this medicine is doing"

after a thorough discussion, the

Among the new boards created by
act of the last Legislature is one to
regulate the practice Of Osteopathy.
This is to be known as the State
Board Of Examination and Registra-
ton of Osteopathy. 1t has come into
existence only after a struggle on the
part Of the Osteopaths extending
over several sessions Of the Legisla-
ture. The new law creates a board
of five members who shall hold office
Ior varying terms from one to five
years. The members of the board are
to elect their chairman and secretary.

the new board as announced by Gov

been accomplishing such remarkable
results in all parts Of the country.
The old illustration Of the pebble

swept over the entire nation like a

From coast to coast and from the

The Food Conditions
And School Attendance

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State
superintendent of public schools, has
issued a statement declaring that
the calls for food conservation and
the great shortages in farm labor
undoubtedly have Influenced school
authorities in agricultural sections of
Maine to enforce less rigidly the pro-
visions of the compulsory education
laws.
The influenza epidemic and the
generally poor health conditions have
combined to make attendance records
of the past year lower than usual"
said DR.. Thomas.
AS a result an inspection of school
registers in many sections shows
that the number of marks for alb
sence exceeds the records of previous
years and that serious condition
prevails regarding school attendance.
Few things break down the eff
ficiency of a school or of a school
organization more effectively than
irregularity of attendance. To dwell
on this point is needless.
In making our plans for next year
we must assume that more nearly
i-OAhoA NOuNAtAOhS VIII we
must take a stand that the educa-
tional interests of the boys and girls
stand far above any needs of the
community. We must understand
that many boys and girls have been
allowed to remain out Of school on
the plea Of giving assistance in farm
work when in reality their labor has
rot been required-at least not to
such an extent that their interest in
school should be disturbed and their
futures in education ENDANGERED.
We must know also that in many
cases a fear Of exposure to sickness
has been responsible for attendance
Irregularities more than sickness it.
self. Viewing the situation frankly
we must realize that sometimes ad-
vantage has been taken of the gen.
eral conditions by parents and by
children who seek excuses to remain
cut Of school and who are Influenced
by the fact that others are absenting
themselves. even though the others
may have legitimate excuses.
1t is strongly advised that SUPER
intendents discuss this situation with
their committees and attendance Of
ncers and resolve on some form of
scfion before schools open in the

Memphis Firm Sells
Five Cars in a Month
Memphis, Tenn.

XhSIHPLilSp AShAs
Mr.. G. F. Willis.
11O1 Fourth National Bank Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir-It would be very hard
matter for us to write a letter ex-
pressing just our feelings and exper-
fence in regard to Tanlac. We know
that the day of miracles is past and
fathomable mysteries in the drug
business. and yet this Tanlac propo-
sition. smacks of both. For one firm
to be able to sell at the rate Of one
carload every two weeks and for this
record to keep up until now we have
sold more than 279.so0 bottles is. just
the least you can say. phenomenal
and bewildering. April was our
twelfth month and we sold five car
loads during that month alone.
Tanlac is giving entire satisfac-
ton to our trade and is a constant
and regular repeater from the same
sources and our customers write us
that their demands are persistent in
the way of repeat orders as we'll as
from new users.
The uniform courtesy and con-
sideration-the splendid business
policy displayed by Mr.. Willis with
US as his wholesale distributors and
through us our agents has been ev-
erything that we could ask and we
wish you continued success and hope
that you will realize on your wishes
to In every way stapleize and per-
manently perfect the popularity and
continued sale Of Tanlac.
Yours very truly.

Approximately Twelve
Million Bottles Sold
and Distributed in
Four Years :.

of This Year

More like a tale from the Arabian
Nights Of old than q record OF o
modern business reads the story OF
the marvellous growth and develop.
ment Of Tanlac, which has been the
sensation Of the drug trade through
out America
The first bottle Of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
four years ago in the thriving little
city Of Lexington. KY where 10000
bottles Of medicine were sold In only
a few months time. Since that time
there have been sold throughout the
United States and Canada approx
mateiy 100000 bottles and ro-
nance which has no parallel In the
modern business world was begun.
The instant and phenomenal sue.
cess which Taniac won in Lexington
has been duplicated In practically
every large city small town. village
ana hamlet In North America the
Province Of Ontario, Quebec, Alberta.
Saskatchewan, and British Columbia
have shown due appreciation os Tam
lac. Hawaii. Alaska, Cuba. Porto
Rico and other American possessions
have clamored for Taniac.
Over 1900 Bottles q Day
Sales this year bid fair to smash
ali previous records. as the sale for
the flrst ten weeks amounted to over
one. million bottles. It seems almost
incredible, but these are actual hg-
ures and such is the record estab-
lished by this wonderful medicine.
As a matter Of fact. the greatest

UNFAIRLY come forward and stated in
