"I was pretty near knocked out
last summer by an attack of malaria
and even after 1 got out of bed I
kept losing weight nd strength. For
two months I was not able to hit a
lick of work on my laee and I was
beginning to think that I was down
and out fpr good.
"I began to take Tanlac just in
the nick of time for I could not even
have held out much longer without
help of some sort. 1 was down to
140 pounds, but, this medicine took
hold of me in such a way that in for
ty days exactly I had gone upto 188
pounds which is just my right weight
and I quit taking Tanlac because it
had done everything needed.
"I hadnt been taking the medicine
a week before I was able to go to
work and now I can plow all day.
I eat anything I want, sleep like a
log and in the morning roll out of
bed feeling as (It and flne ax I ever
did in my life. I don't need any

PEANUT GROWERS
TO MEET DEC 21
Will Consider Some Steps for
Better Marketing of Crop
and Other Plans.
Suffolk, Dee. 18.?The peanut gro
wen of Virginia and North Carolina
?rill hold a most important meeting
it Suffolk, Tuesdsy, December 81, at
11 o'clock, for the purpose of consid
Bring steps for the better marketing
of the present crop of peanuts, and
also for the perfection of their Ex
change.
Clarence Moomaw, for a number
of years connected with the Bureau
of Markets in Washington, and now
associated with s brokerage firm in
New York, with important European
connections, will be on hand to discuss
with the growers the great possibili
ties of the working out of their mar
keting problems through their own
efforts.
The formation of an immediate ad
vertising fund for peanuts of not less
than $80,000 will be duly considered.
This fund will be for the purpose of
advertising peanuts parcel post. As
the result of a small 5-ineh advertise
ment placed only one time in two
national magazines, the Virginia-Ca
tolina Co-Operative Exchange, Inc.,
of Suffolk, Va., has sold over $8,500
worth of peanuts. This experminet
has gone so far beyond the expecta
tions of the exchange that steps will
be taken at once to interest growers
and the business men in making it
possible to carry on this parcel post
business on a much larger scale. It
is figured that the marketing of pea
nut* by parcel post would easily be
self-sustaining from the start.
A printed proepectus of the propos
ed plans has been prepared and will
be submitted to the business men of
this section without delay. Among
other things, this prospectus contains
the testimonials of many purchasers,
who have been ao well pleased with
their purchases of peanuts, that they
have ordered again, clearly indicating
that there is a market for peanuts, if
only the growers were qrganlied in a
way to go after it.
More than S,700 growers have now
signed the growers' contract, and it
is proposed at this meeting on Decem
ber 21 to work out plans that will
greatly hasten the perfection of the
exchange. .AH growers who have not
yet sold their peanuts are especially
urged to attend this meeting, as are
also all business men who are ready
to help work for better prices on pea
nuts.
