COX !S ELATED
OVER B!G GAMS I
Declares Taulac Ended Stomach
Trouble And Built Him Up 25
Pounds. -
M. E. Cox, of HapeviHe, Ga., valued
employee of a large Oakland City
manufacturing concern, is still
another who declares he has found
the Tanlac' treatment a safe and sure
road to health, strength and working
efficiency. In telling his experience
! he said recently:
"For three years I suffered from
stomach trouble and was in an awful
run-down condition. I had indiges
tion so bad I couid not eat anything
but what it caused the worst of pains
in my stomach. My nerves were all
undone, and altogether I got no rest
day or night, and could do no wsork.
"When I started on Tanlac 1]
weighed a hundred and twenty I
pounds, but now I tip the scales at a '
hundred and forty-five, a gain of!
twenty-five pounds. After taking sev
eral bottles of Tanlac I am sound
and well, working steady every day,;
and I am glad to make a statement
for the good it might do others.
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug
gists. Take no substitute. Over 35
million bottles sold.
THE FARMER AXg) THE
TAX tiATHERER
(Utah Educational Review.)
Once upon a time there lived in a
rich and fertile valley a thrifty farm
er. His three children, a girl and
two hoys attended a nearby school
where they were taught daily by a
{splendid woman of much learning and
real worth. Now it so happened that
the tax gatherer became very oppres-,
sive to the farmer, in so much that j
he groaned aloud and called out;
lustily /against those that did thus !
oppress him. But instead of his bur
den being lifted, his tax became
heayier. At last he cried out in his
anguish.^ "This teacher of my chil
dren is robbing me. Imust withhold
one-tenth part oT her salary." So
he Called upon other farmers, and
they did positively decide that the
tenth part of the teacher's wage
should not be paid to her.
Now the total sum of this farm- j
er's taxation amounted to one hun-!
dred dollars in coin of the realm. Itj
so happened that one half part of ]
all this sum was expanded for learn- j
ing of various kinds, and the other j
half part for other matters. Out of j
the fifty dollars expended for learn-j
ing, thirty dollars was the sum paidj
to teacher for their wage. ]
Now this farmer wailed bitterly j
and the wise men of the country did !
reduce the wage of this teacher one-;
! tenth part. In this way the farmer {
was greatly enriched to the extent of j
one-tenth of thirty dollars which he
ha^l paid for teachers' wages and his!
heart was gladdened because of "the
enrichment.
Now it so happened that this good ,
teacher of much learning and real j
worth discovered that she could not
live on the nine-tenths part of her,
wage, for tne total would scarce j
serve to keep her from the public
house for the poor. Therefore, with
much sorrow in her heart, she leftj
the school and* the children she lov- j
ed and journeyed to another city,;
where they received her gladly.
But it followed that a school mush
needs be kept, and the people search
ed the highways and byways and
found a person to keep the school
for the sum of money offered. But!
she was not trained, neither did she
know the art of teaching. The farm
er's two sons became rebellious and
would not go to school and the
daughter failed to learn many things
that she should have learned, and she
leaned mny things she ought not to
have learned.
And when the farmer said bitterly '
in his heart, "O that we had again <
for our children the splendid teacher ]
that.went away from us," the only!
solace he had was that in the days
of oppression he had saved three
whole dollars, although by doing so
he had deprived his three children of

REMEDIES ABOUT
THIS TIME OF YEAR
'' -
(Durham Herald)
t
Along about this time of the year
when the weather begins to take
on a balmness heralding the ap
proach of spriiig, the fiyst thing that
half of us folks do, after finding it
warm enough to leave the old over
coat on the rack in the ofice when
we go to the postoffice, is to walk
by the seed store and take a sneak
ing look at the big posters showing
beautiful red tomatoes, bright green
snap-beans, and peas and other gar
den truck rigged out in such color
that nature never endowed them
with. But they are allurihg, to the
average city dweller. After a few
stealthy looks at the seed advertise
ments, and when the days get a bit
warmer, you are likely to see the
aforesaid citizen drifting home about
the middle of some afternoon bear
ing a package of seed and A shoulder
loaded with tools for garden-making.
It's no use to argue with him. There
is no form of insanity as insurable!
as the annual garden fever, that isj
the only cure is to let it alone and!
it will soon wear itself out when the
hands are 'blistered and warmer
weather arrives. There is nothing
dangerous in gardenphobia, in fact,
it is a most harmless form of insan
ity. It is fortunate that it is harm
less, for there are so many people
afflicted with it that were it sepious
there would be great danger to civ
ilization. These who are hardly
enough to keep it up through the
whole summer usually get nearly
enough garden truck to pay for The
seed they planted. But most ofus
give it up long before the hot weath
er arrives, and the proudly pictured
garden becomes really a fine crop of
wild hay.
"Widow Woman."
(Houston ^ost)
Somebody is jumping on om* Tisr
Heei brother, Joe Taylor, about using
the term "yidow woman." Joe ban
abundant authority for "widow w&
nnE&." Some 900 years before Christ,
the Lord Himseif thus addressed the
Phophet Elij&h: "Arise, get thee tu
Zarephath, Which beiongeth to Zidun .
and dwell there; behold, I have ccca
manded a widow wontan there to .sus
tain thee." !(1 Kings, 17-9.) An
between ,the Lord of Hosts and some
two-bit, shallow-pated, spatted and
surcingled purist of this time, w?
reckon Joe khows where he is and in
sitting pretty.

ANNOUNCEMENT
J. Crawford Overton, Oxford Route No. 6, says:
"I began using Roysters' FSR Brand Guano a few
years ago and have continued its use each year except
one year 1 was induced to use a brand costing less in
price and 1 lost not iess than one thousand dollars by
reason of trying to save a few cents. I returned to Roy
sters' the next year and have continued to use it ^s have
the others in the targe Overton family. Roysters'
guanos have been absolutely satisfactory. We have al
ways gotten the highest averages for our tobaccb and it
has helped us to make money each year. We recco
mend it to all farmers." ^ [
