Scott Ferris headquarters has been

opponent in the race for United States
senator.
Volunteer workers have been asked

Local friends Of Mr.. Ferris are
greatly encouraged by reports from
various sections Of the county which
indicate that the work of Senator
Gore, few days ago, has decided
reaction effective in favor Of Ferris.
Local Observers who have always
kept in close touch with county poll

this county will be much greater
than first estimated, this change has
been brought about since the visit
of Mr.. Ferris here and the past week
where he made two speeches, and
proved that the charges made against
him by his opponent are not true.
The total vote cast for Gore in
this county will be small although
all republicans and socialists are pre-

This thought is fathered by the wish
that he might do SO In order that
they can give him the double cross
in the general election by voting for
the republican nominee.

JUST A FEW WORDS
TO THE VOTERS OF CARTER COUNTY.

The campaign is drawing to close and |
lake this method of expressing my apprecia-
ton OF the courteses and favors that I have
received at the hands of the citizenship of the
county in my campaign for representative, and
to assure you that if am chosen as the stand
ard bearer of Carter county democracy as
their candidate for representative in the COM
ing campaign l will devote all of my ability
for the success of the democratic ticket in
this county. l have made the campaign on
well defined issues, confining my discussions
to the public record of my opponent and to
the measures introduced and supported by
him as your representative. I have indulged
in no attacks on the private character of any
man, and in the event of my defeat will have
the satisfaction of knowing that have not
wantonly brought any pain to the hearts of
innocent people in my efforts to win
My worst enemy has never questioned my
ability to carry out my promises to the people.
> feel that the boys and girls of Carter county
are Of more value than all the sheep that will
ever be here, and laws for the protection of
these boys and girls are of vastly more i'm
portance than a dog tax law for the protec-
ton of sheep. Such laws it is my purpose
to have written into the statutes of our state
l have made host of loyal friends
throughout the county. The campaign has
given me the opportunity to visit every part
of Carter county to learn something of her
vast and varied resources, and of her magnif-
cent citizenship. / realize more than ever
that to represent Carter county and her people
in the legislature is an honor that any man
might covet and carries with it response
bility that cannot be regarded with indffer-
ence. If elected to the legislature will enter
upon the duties Of the office with deep sense
of the responsibility and a high appreciation
Of the honor and will give you the service you
so richly deserve.

Much of the difficulty experienced
by health authorities in checking the
spread of influenza lies in the fact
that it spreads with almost lightning
rapidity Although state and city
authorities have succeeded in keeping
it under control in some sections, the
disease has gotten entirely beyond
control in others.
1t is universally agreed by all we'll

ventive is to get the system into the
best possible physical condition, in
order to be able to throw off the in
lection. 1t has been stated that it is
possible to perfect the powers of hui
man resistance so that it can throw
off almost any infection, not except
ing Spanish Influenza. which is gem
orally supposed to be one of the most
contagious diseases known.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are weak and rundown are
the earliest victims of the Influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself weak
and LOSING flesh, or if you are in a
generally rundown condition you are
really in danger if you should come

by recognized authorities. Accord
ing to all accepted reference works,
including the U. S. Dispensatory, En-
cyclopedia Britannica, and the leading
textbooks used in the schools of
medicine, the principal ingredients of
Tanlac possess the most powerful re-
constructive properties know to
science. This statement is further
proven by the fact that millions of
persons who. have actually taken
Tanlac have Testified to it's extraore
binary powers as a medicine.
Tanlac restores health and strength
to the weak and rundown system by
enabling every organ of the body to
perform it's proper functions in the
way nature intended. 1t creates a
good, healthy appetite for whole
some, nourishing food. and is an ideal
Strengthening tonic for persons who
are in a rundown condition and who
are suffering from the after-effects
of hard winter colds, grippe, or bron-
chial troubles.
Irrefutable evidence of the recon-
structive powers of Tanlac is shown
ny lie 1act IhaC IL was USED Dy tens
of thousands during last years cpl

well-known Texas physician stated
that he had never found anything to
equal Tanlac for building up his

that he had treated fourteen hundred
