TOOK ALL GRIT
 HE HAD ID STAY
Virginia Fireman Feared His Working Days Were Over,
 In Fine Shape Now

My stomach was in an awful con dition before I got Tanlac, but it' is as sound as a dollar now" said A. $. Evans, well known hoseman, City Fire Station No. 8, residing at 9o6 Church. street, Lynchburg, Va.
 Dyspepsia was the curse of my life and l had almost given up hope Of ever getting rid of it. When began taking Tanlac l was living on diet of milk and mashed potatoes and was getting weaker and thinner every day It certainly took all my grit to hold on to my job, and I had begun to fear my working days were over.
 "Tanlac did for me just what [ needed l can eat anything I want now, my strength is coming back and ] feel like my old self again The fact is I never was in better health in my life. We call Tanlac our family medicine at the station, be- cause I am the fourth man now that has been wonderfully helped by it.. There is not a doubt in my mind that it Is the best medicine in the world.

SOUTHERN FAMINE
 EXISTS ONLY IN A
 SCIENTIFIC SENSE
Continued From Page one)

interest of the assembled health of- ficers centered principally about two points: One, the basis for holding that there existed an increased prevalence ofjpellagra; two, the use of the word Famine" in describing the causative conditions.
 Statistics Not Available
 50 far as the first point is con cerned, all the health officers pres ent, with the exception of the state health officer of Mississippi, stated that no reliable morbidity statistics were available for their states. In Mississippi the only state having trustworthy statistics the incident of the disease in the first six months of the present year was about double that for the corresponding period last year.
 "A number of the state health of- ficers, on receiving the call to the conference, secured reports from physicians in various parts of their states, believing these might serve as an index .oY peilagra Conditions. though they had no comparative sta ustics for previous years. Others submitted statistics showing the number of deaths from pellagra in the first six months of 1921, and in the corresponding period of previous years. These data were admittedy incomplete. A careful review of all the facts elicited by the conference fully confirm, in my opinion. the DO : sition of the public health service with respect to the increase of pellagra in various parts of the south.
 In so far as, the use of the word famine" is concerned. the public health service pointed out that it had used the term in scientific re- stricted sense, referring to diet which lack some essential element or clements.
 Essential Foods Scarce
 Tt was clearly brought out that in various localities in the south con- ditions were such that the essential foods required to prevent the devel- opment of pellagra were obtainable only with difficulty and In some in- stances were were entirely beyond the reach of the poorer working people It was shown that the situation has been brought about largely by the custom of one-crop farming. So long as the one crop paid handsome re- turns as in the case of cotton in re- cent years, less difficulty was ex- perienced. At, the present time, how ever, the food situation, looked at from the standpoint of physiologi- caliy complete diet, is acute in a number of localities.
 The object aimed at by the public health service has undoubtedly been brought much nearer to attainment as a. result of the splendid support given by your letter. In no other way could attention have been fo- cused so quickly or effectively on the many different phrases of tNe problem. The various branches of the federal and state governments will now cooperate to better advan- tage to control not only pellagra but other diseases intimately related to economic dietic adjustments. It is gratifyirG to report that all the states feel able to meet demands for relief without requiring any outside assistance"

FORTUNES IN THE NEAR EAST

From Main Street in Caucasus
 Village" by Elizabeth Anderson.
 in Asia Magazine.
 Dilijan. had once been a village of 5000 inhabitants. In the days before the war it was fashionable summer resort for the elite of Tiflis, and very gay. But, in 1915, large numbers of Turkish Armenians, fled over what was then the Russian border into the province of Transcaucasia to escape the Turks. Four thousand of these refugees sQuatted in Dilijan, and the misery and overcrowding were be- yond description. The villagers did what they could for them, but food was scarce and clothing entirely lacking. The valley was not fertile. The tillable land could not produce a fraction of the wheat needed. Be- fore the American flour came, hun dreds of people starved to death in Dilijan; now. they were being kept alive. but nothing more. There was no work for them. because there was nothing to work with. Some trading went on in the bazars, where the people exchanged few ounces of their precious flour for bit of meat or cheese, a pewter dish or an earth ern bowl. Since the Georgian gov ernment kept a strict guard at the frontier and seized all packages, every day necessaries became rare. I remember seing crowd about shop window one morning. It parted to let the Amerigatzee have look. and l discovered six spools of thread and package of needles. which an enterprising merchant had brought from Tiflis. Later in the winter an Italian firm brought in some cooking utensils, but the prices were so high that only few could afford to buy. The crowds, how ever. never tired of gazing at the shining saucepans, but stood for hours in silent and gloomy contem- plation.

NORMA TALMADGE IN DRAMA,

The two popular stars, Norma Tal- madge and Eugene O'Brien in The Moth" is the entertaining Alcazar at traction. These two are doubtless the best suited stars on the screen. It has been some time since they rave been seen here in one of their inimitable dramas of love and TO- nance, and the movie crowds are going to enjoy once more witnessing their famous love scenes
 The picture is a drama of society and domestic infelicity. The idea Of the moth applies to the beautiful young wife who blinded by grief by the glare of society. seeks the pleas ures of an unconventional life. Her husband is cad who only married her for her fortune and, barely con- ceals the fact, if at all,
 "The Moth" makes about the same general appeal of most of this stars pictures. It is of an emotional na- ture with real romance running through The action moves very swiftly and the interest is absorbing. There are all the thrills that are irseparable with Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien appearance.

"SNOWBLIND" AT RIALTO 7 AN INTERPRETING DRAMA

As story of the frozen north, "Snowblind" belongs in class by it. self It is utterly different and cont pletely original. If there are any points of likeness to other northern dramas it is only the abounding snow and one appearance of some mounted police. Otherwise movie fans are going to find this picture extremely novel for northern locai..
 The ugliness of a man living in the wastes of the north with his handsome younger brother and q druging and pretty nurse makes the subject of the story. A pretty girl lost in the snow becomes snowblind. a blindness that is either permanent or for the time as the case may bc. Hugh Garth. the urgly, and it can be added, wicked man, rescues her and by his musical voice wins her ia her blindness. Then starts a romance with the strangest pair of lovers that ever loved. Most of the action fol- lows this state of affairs which is mainly only the beginning. Tn . strange unwinding the handsome younger brother is principally in volved. and proves the real love. The climax is startling.

ILLINOIS FARMERS SELL
MILLION AND A HALF POUNDS
OF WOOL COMPARATIVELY

The Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton reports that every pound of the
1920 wool crop of the 1913 farmers
who united to sell comparatively has
been disposed of at the best market
prices. The unorganized growers are
still seeking market, or else ac-
copied whatever the wool buyers
were kind enough to offer them. The
Agricultural Association also helped
the farmers to save large sums in
handling their wool by the co-opera-
tive purchase of wool sacks and other
necessary articles at wholesale prices,
and by making single contract for
the storage of the entire million and
half pound clip at cost far less
than the individual farmer would
have to pay.
Similar success has been achieved
by the wool growers 9lof Montana,
Iowa, and several other states, who
have the wisdom to cooperate in the
marketing of their wool and other
products. The American Wooden Trust.
is really to thank for this rapid or
ganization of the wool-producing
farmers. The Wool Trust, not con-.
tent with 400 per cent profits during
the war, decided to continue its
profiteering in time of peace. 1t
therefore created drop" in the
