Ate a Bushcl OF Applcs.
(Rural New Yorker.

tRural New SOrker.)
The following note has been going
about through the papers:
ROANOKE. Va. Oct. 2s.-"I ate a
bushel apples for my breakfast this
morning said guest at the once
de Leon Hotel today Then he ex-
planned that he had sold 1000 BUSH
els or apples on his orchard in Bed
ford county for 80 cents per bushel
on the trees, and had paid the pro-
ceeds of one bushel for a baked ap-
pie on Norfolk e. Western dining
car. OF course he got a small pitcher
of alleged cream. But the apple was
a small one.
We had the same experience in
Raleigh, n. c. We ordered a baked
apple without looking at the price.
The waiter brought a small apple
with bill for 80 cents. or course
the 'alleged cream" came with it,.
but IT ran true to name We have
frequently been obliged to exchange
a peck OF potatoes for one baked tu-
ber At present prices the cotton
grower must give up about 10
pounds of raw cotton for one pound
OF cotton cloth. What We all want
TO know is. who gets the money?
Why do not the teachers Of political
economy tear themselves away from
abstract principles and get down to
concrete facts about this consumers
dollar?

Large Capital Safest.
(Bennettsville Advocate.)

A bank with small capital. doing
large business, usually pays a
larger per cent. Of profit TO it's stock
holders than a bank with a larger
capital doing the same amount Of
business. But the bank with the
larger capital. while not being so
profitable to its stockholders. is SAFER
for its depositors.
The Mutual Savings Bank had a
capital stock OF only $25.0OO. Since
the failure OF the bank the stock
holders are liable to the depositors
for $4,000 above the capital stock.
If the deposits were $25O.OOO. the
extra liability OF the stockholders to
the depositors Is only ten per cent.

Woll of the American Federation of Labor submitted today to the resolutions committee of the republican national convention. Leg islation which proposes to make strikes unlawful or to compel the wage earners to submit their griev- ances or aspirations to courts or to governmental agencies, is an invasion of the rights of the wage earners and when enforced makes for indus trial serfdom and slavery" The statement said regarding the Kansas law:

The following remarKaDIe enGorse- ment of Tanlac was given recently
 by Mrs. Alice Gresham Dodd, at the Gresham Memorial Home, Gavin Park, Evansville, Ind, which home was presented to her by the patriotic people of Indiana, as evidence of their appreciation of the services rendered to his country by her son, Corporal James B. Gresham, the first Amer ican soldier killed in France. Express ions of sympathy were received by Mrs. Dodd from all parts of the Unit ed States, and the newspapers of the country carried the story of the first
 war mother
 The shock of her sons death re- suited in the serious breakdown of Mrs. Dodds health, but everyone will learn with interest and pleasure that she is now in splendid health again. When seen at her home recently she made the following statement, giving the entire credit for her recovery to tn well-known medicine, Tanlac.
 "After my dear boys death, I had a general breakdown in health," said Mrs. Dodd At first it was just in digestion My food used to upset me and I had to diet myself very care fully, which wasn't much hardship as l lost all desire to eat. Then l had an attack of rheumatism, with severe pains in my shoulders, back and arms. Sometimes 1 used to suf- fer great deal, and my joints would get all swollen up and stiff. l was able to do very little about the house, and at times couldn't even cook a meal. 1 got very nervous and rest less, and at night would lay awake for hours, and lost many nights sleep as a consequence.
 "A friend of mine had received great deal of help from Tanlac, and it was she who advised me to try it. I am so glad I did for it proved the best medicine I have ever taken. It soon gave me good appetite and seemed to settle my stomach so that was no longer troubled with indi- gestion. I don't know what it is to have rheumatic pains now, the swell Ing ana SIlllHeSS Has di1 Soue ouI oI my joints and I am able to. do the work of the house with the greatest east. My nerves are now steady and strong, I sleep fine at night ,and l feel better in health than ever before in my life. I shall always be grate full for what Tanlac has done for me, and shall recommend it every chance I get" -
 Tanlac is sold in Pine Bluff by MT. Brasher, in Altheimer by A. w. Leake, and in Rison by Bogg Drug Com pany. (Advt.)
