J. L Bradley Tells How Tanlac
Helped Daughter When All
Else Failed.
“I believe in givinj? credit where
credit is due and in justice to Tan-
lac I give it full credit for the good
conditioD my daughter is in today,”
declared J. L. Bradley, Yard Fore
man for the Southern Eailroad, at
Charlotte.
“My daughter Grace suffered
from a peculiar form of stomach
trouble. Doctors’ treatments, a
stay in a sanitorium and f rials with
various medicines failed to help
her. We were uneasy about her
condition and, as a last resort,
tried Tanlac. From the first few
bottles my girl gained ten pounds.
Her complexion is clear, she is
much stronger and has gained won
derful relief from those awful at
tacks which would come from eat
ing different foods. She would
become very sick at her stomach,
suffered intense pains, especially
around her heart and her whole
body would be drawn up and she
would break out in cold prespira-
tloD. It^s all different now and 1
gladly praise Tanlac for it did the
work.”
Tanlac is sold m Marion exclu
sively by J. W. Streetman.

Best Time to Seed Wheat in filorth
Carolina.
[Based upon results secured at
the Iredell Test Farm.]
For a number of years the Di
vision of Agronomy has been con
ducting field experiments at the
Iredell Test Farm, in the center of
the wheat-growing region of the
State, to determine the best date
for seeding wheat. During this
time much valuable data has been
collected of practical value to North
Carolina growers of this crop.
The seedings were made at inter
vals of 15 days between the latter
part of September and on Decem
ber 21st. The seedings made be
tween October 10th and 25th have
given the best yields. The seed
ings made between these two dates
have yielded from 3 to 8 bushels
more per acre than the seedings
made during the first part of No
vember. The seedings made dur
ing the latter part of November
and December are yielding from 9
to 14 bushels per acre less than the
seedings made early in Octobei*.
Good Varieties of Wheat for North
Carolina.
[Based upon results secured at
the Buncombe and Iredell Test
Farms.]
During the past six years the
Division of Agronomy has made
careful tests of the best varieties
of wheat. These varieties have
been compared in the mountains
at the Buncombe Farm and in the
Piedmont section of the State at
the Iredell Farm. Among the va
rieties tested were most of the
standard varieties and a few of the
best local strains. In a series of
four tests, Leap’s Prolific, Dietz-
Mediterranean, Fultz, and Fulcas-
ter have yielded best at the Bun
combe Farm. Leap’s Prolific and
Fultz are smooth wheats, while
Dietz - Mediterranean is bearded.
In a series of five years testing at
the Iredell Farm, Lean’s Prolific,
Purple Straw, Lancaster, and Ful-
castar have yielded best. Of these
four wheats, the first two are
smooth and the second two beard
ed.

Getting Ready for School.
state Board of Health Bulletin.
“There’s something in the Sep
tember air,” says the State Board
of Health, “that puts one in mind
of school and books, of getting to
gether booksacks and lunch bas
kets and starting out on another
six, eight or ten months’ school.
But books and the lunch basket are
not all of the preparations needed
today toward getting ready for
school. The school is no loblcer
considered a mere brain factory
working independently of other
conditions and relations, but is
rather a plant that works both the
mind and the body. Children
bring with them to school both
brains and bodies, and one is not
normally developed independent of
the other.
“The real and most imoortant
preparation for school,” says the
Board, “is on the part of parents
in behalf of their childrens’ health.
Every parent wants his child to
have the best possible training of
its intellect, but rarely does he ap
preciate the fact that the develop
ment of his child’s mind is often
handicapped by some disease, de
fect or minor ailment. Sometimes
it is a child’s teeth, weak eyes or
slightly deaf ears, or probably an
unhealed sore that saps the founda
tion of its health and education.
In other words, it is often the
‘little foxes that spoil the vines.’
These ‘little foxes’ or trivial ail
ments are not to be overlooked in
getting a child ready for school.”
Big Elephant Hanged for Killing
Trainer.
Erwin, Tenn., Sept. 14.-“Mary”
the big elephant which Tuesday
killed her trainer at Kingsport,
Tenn., after a circus performance,
was hanged here today in the pres
ence of over 1,600 people. A der
rick car of the Carolina, Clinch
field and Ohio railroad was used in
the execution. The animal was
forced to the tracks by the aid of
other elephants and there heavy
chains tied around her neck and
suspended in the air. According
to her owners, she was valued at
$20,000.
The hanging, it is said, is the
culmination of many crimes, and
as no quick poisons were at hand,
the showmen decided on the hang
ing.
Are You Looking Old?
Old age comes quick enough without
inviting it. Some look old at forty.
That is because they neglect the liver
and bowels. Keep your bowels regular
and your liver healthy and you will not
only feel younger but look younger.
When troubled- with constipation or
biliousness take Chamberlain’s Tablets
They are intended especially for these
ailments and are excellent. Easy to
take and most agreeable in effect. Ob
tainable everywhere.
Rural Carriers to Get Back Pay.
Postmaster General Burleson has
just announced that salary increas
es for rural mail carriers provided
for under the last postoffice bill,
will be applied to the year 1915.
This will be agreeable news to the
carriers, we take it.
Clear Bad Skin From Within.
Pimply, muddy complexions are due
to impurities in the blood. Clear up
the skin by taking Dr. King’s New Life
Pills. Their mild laxative qualities re
move the poisons from the system and
brighten the eye. A full, free, non-
griping bowel movement in the morn
ing is the reward of a dose of Dr. King’s
New Life Pills the night before. At
your Druggist, 25c.
Since the flood changed things
around, the Southern railroad has
decided to re-locate the Saluda
road, changing the grade from 4i
to twq per cent, abolishing the
safety switches and cutting out
curves.
One million two hundred thous
and Americans die each year, it is
estimated.
