Doable Her Sale This Year.
SUte Board of Health Bulletin.
The number of Red Cross
Christmas 8eals sold in North Caro
lina last year amounted to 674,522,
or the sum of $6,745.22. This a
mount placed North Carolina fiftn
In her class which embraces seven
teen States. The number sold per
capita was .3 or less than one stamp
to every three persons. Her aim
this year Is to sell at least one stamp
per capita or over three times as
many as she sold last year, whicn
will place her not only first In her
class but in a class now held by only
six other States In the Union. Three
stamps per capita, however, is the
required number for the honor roll.
The American Red Cross and the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis will
again this year award banners or
pennants for the largest sales of
Christmas Seals per capita of popu
lation. One banner will be given to
each of the three State groups and
one each to the ten groups of coun
ties, cities and towns, each classed
according to population. Rhode
Island, Minnesota and Wisconsin
were the State winners last year.
Of the cities and towns. Garden City,
N. Y., led with the sale of 20.49 per
capita.
The sales for last year amounted
to over 55,000,000 seals, which,
when all expenses were deducted, a
mounted to nearly $500,000. This
sum is now being spent entirely for
tuberculosis work in this country.
This year the campaign Is endeavor
ing to sell 200,000,000 seals, the pro
ceeds of which will go for the fight
against tuberculosis in the communi
ties where the seals are sold.

Was Still Following.
The conversation at a recent din
ner turned to the subject of roman
tic marriages, when this little anec
dote was volunteered by H. M. Aa
ker, a North Dakota politician:
One afternoon Brown was stand
ing on the corner looking at the Jit
neys when he was suddenly confront
ed by an acquaintance of other years.
Soon they were compalrlng notes and
recalling happy hours.
"So you were married ten years
ago," said the acquaintance In re
sponse to a statement made by
Brown. "Took place in the church
I suppose, with bridesmaids, flowers,
cake and the brass band."
"No," answered Brown, with a re
flective expression; "It was an elope
ment." "An elopement, ehT" returned the
acquaintance. "Did the girl's fath
er follow youT"
"Yes," answered Brown with some
thing akin to a sigh, "and he has
been with us ever since."

WELL KNOWN AND POPULUB PiEOXT
& NORTHERN RAILROAD CASHIER CUT
WITH FACTS RAPID CHAXSE N
TANLAC
Among the endorsers of Tanlac,
the remarkable new remedy that la
now being introduced In Charlotte
with such signal results, is Mr. Da
vid Hearst, cashier of the Piedmont
& Northern Railroad, one of the best
known and most highly respected
railroad men In Charlotte. Mr.
Hearst, when interviewed recently,
had the following interesting state
ment to make. He said: "For
years I have suffered from kidney
trouble and rheumatism until I was
almost distracted. At times the pain
was so severe that it was almost un
endurable, I had no appetite and did
not sleep as well as I should hare
and became just a little alarmed over
my condition. Recently I decided to
try Tanlac, but right now must con
fess that I did so with great misgiv
ings, as I had tried so many medi
cines without being benefitted. I am
happy to say that after taking two
bottles, much to my surprise I feel
greatly relieved, my appetite has Im
proved and I am able to eat almost
any kind of food with the greatest
relish. Tanlac seemed to be exactly
what I needed. It Is a very fine med
icine and I most willingly recom
mend it."
Tanlac, the "Master Medicine ' na
tures new assistant, Is the most ra
tional weapon against stomach, kid
ney and liver troubles, as it toon
brings about an astonishing Improve
ment in your spirits and general
condition the same as It did for Mr.
Hearst. . -
Tanlac Is sold In Gastonia exclus

and may also be obtained from the
following dealers: Cherryville Drue
