Mr. J. B. Battle, who is well known

Jacob's Pharmacy to get a bottle of'

C. Cason, who lives some distance out j
of Atlanta, near Acworth. While mak-
ing the purchase, Mr. Battle tolil ot
of the wonderful improvement in Mrs.

He also made the statement thai j
Mrs. Cason felt so grateful for the j
wonderful benefit that she had receiv-1
ed that she wanted to make a publ v
statement, as she felt it her duty to I
tell the whole world about Tanlac. He |
then suggested that Pr. Elder, the
Tanlac representative at Jacobs', call]

vitw.
When Pr. Elder called at Mr. Bat

following morning, it happened that
Mr. Battle himself met him at the
door and very cordially invited him
into his living room. Mrs. Cason, whe
was bright and happy, soop made her
appearance and began with delight te

health, and her statement will ge
down in history as being one of the
most remarkable every given a pro-

CONTINUOUS FIRING FEATURE
OF AMERICAN GUN.
Announcement has been made of
the development of an American ma-
chine gun capable of continuous firing.
Says the August Popular Mc-cliancs
Magizine. Ammunition is carried to its
feed block by an endless belt kept fil-
led by an automatic reloading- mechan-
ilm. Supply hoppers contain from
2,500 to 10,000 cartridges and are re-
plenished or replaced without interfer-
ing with operation. Most machine
guns fire about 500 shots a minute and
are supplied with ammunition with
belts holding about 250 cartridges.
Thus they are able to fire uninterrup-
tedly for only 30 seconds, while the
new instrument spite thousands of
missiles without pausing, and thereby
does the work of two ordinary pieces.
For specific purposes the gun is
built integral with some vehicle, such
as a motorcycle, aeroplane, or motor-
boat. Instead of -being manually oper-
ated, its mechanism is motor driven.
The machine that rushes it into action
also mounts and operates it. No time
is consumed in assembling or disman-
tling the piece when seconds are pre-
cious. An aeroplane pilot can be his
own gunner, for by touching a button, j not coming on very well. May I send
with finger or foot, the instrument is my man over with some fertilizer that
put .into action. For trench use a spec-1 has helped ours ?'
ial mounting with creeper wheels is] "Tte 'fierce is still there—but net
provided with an electric cable control (he barrier. Our boys and our country
used. The arrangement allows the op-
erator to remain in a protected posi-.
tion and dispatch the guns across "No
Man's Land" on its deadly mission.

"Close to me lives a man whose in-

by more than a mere ivy-grown stone
fence—to be exact, by several hundred

" 'Yes.'

Which Child Is Yours?
Children's eyes can.be cured. You do not get
glasses to make children see, you get them to cor-
rect and save their eyes for a lifetime service.
Often a pair of glasses will correct a defect in
your child s eyes and make them strong. Many
children are cross and backward because of defec-
tive eyesight, when their disposition is wrongly
blamed. Help your child to happiness and success
in after life by saving the eyes. Don't wait till
school begins. We scientifically examine the eyes
and fit glasses to cure and strengthen defects as
found.

War lias Made England Prosperous.
Business has been good in England
despite the war.
"The people as a whole, are earning
more, spending more and saving more
than ever before. Wages were never so
high and -work so plentiful. The rich
who are not interested in favored
manufactures are suffering through
heavy taxation, but the working class
^ ■ 1 is prosperous. The leading department'
1!1 store in London has had a record year.
I "That is what comes from England.
I " 'Business conditions continue to
I indicate such industrial and commer-
\ ] I cial activity as the country has not
*1 j hitherto experienced.'
"That is a message a great Cana-
dian banker sends.
" 'Is it time to get scared to death?
I don't believe so at all. I believe firm-
ly that it is f^oing to have an expan-
, sive effect on banking credits and bank
i , ] deposits. I know we are going to see a
J11 vast industrial expansion. It isn't go-
,! j ing to be 100 per cent employment;
{list's going to be 120 per cent employ-
! 11 ment. There will be need not only for
J | every man who worked before; there
will be need for all the men and wo-
men. The unskilled worker-will step in
to the place of the skilled worker, and
women will be railed upon to take a
greater place in industry. It is going
to mean the greatest wage fund that
was ever paid out.'
"That is the verdict of Frank A.
Vanderlip, head of ^America's largest
national bank."—B. C. Forbes says in
the August American Magazine.
, If you want to buy a bargain in a
good'fatal, set P. R. Dial. he-has
home on our farm near Acworth, Ga.,
to come to my sister's home here in
Atlanta, and 1 left with only a shadow
of hope of ever returning alive to my
home and husband.
"I left Acworth" she continued, "in
a comfortable automobile, propped up
on pillows, coming through the coun-
try. I had almost as much medicine as
I had baggage-a big box full of all
kinds of medicines that had been pre-
scribed for me. I reached home very
week and exhausted and with scarce-
ly enough strength to walk to the
door. This trouble, from which I had
suffered so long, had reduced me to
almost a shadow, as I only weighed
sixty pounds.
"Aly brother-in-law, Mr. Battle,
enid: Well you hive tried everything
else with no re.ief, now I went yon to
lay aside your 'drag shop' und take
Tanlac.' Of course I was willing to try
it, for the medicine is the talk of the
whole country. Well he got it for me.
and I started on my first bottle that
day. When I had taken about half
of the first bottle I began to feel
stronger and encouraged. And I con-
tinued to take it and it is nothing
short of marvelous how I improved
day by day. I felt myself further and
further from rhe grave. My appetite
returend and my food reem to nourish
me and agree with me. My skin and
complexion began clearing up and I
improved in every way possible until
now 1 am r. well woman, and when I
say well, I mean absolutely what I
say. I want to tell tin. whole world
that I thank God and Tanlac.
"I weigh ninety pounds now and
feel as well as I ever felt in my life. 1
am going back to my husband and
home on the little farm five miles
from Acworth tomorrow, and won't
it be a joyful meeting, returning re-
turning to my husband and home ab-
solutely well and happy-and won't I
tell every body about what Tanlac has
done for me?"
"Yes it's just like she says," chimed
;n Mr. Bnttle about this time. "Tanlae
has simply robbed the grave, and if
you could have seeen her when she
started on this medicine, you would
say the same thing.
"I didn't know at the time just What
her trouble was, but the doctors saic
she had pellagra. She may have had
it, for all I know, but there is one
thing certain, she hasn't got it now,
or at least you wouldn't thing so if
vou could watch her eat. I told her,
jokingly, th eother day, that she was
eating me out of house and home. I
don't guess there ever was a case like
hers, and there is one thing certain,
you can count on us telling everybody
about it, because I fully believe she
owes her life to this medicine.
Tanlac is sold in Mangum by the
Owl Drug Co., and in Granite by the
Crown Pharmacy, and in Brinkman
by the Brinkman Drug Store, and in
Jester by the Jester Drug Store and
in Willow at the Post Office Drug
Store. adv.
Will this Come True in 1952?
Jack Lait, the well known writer
says it will. He tells in the August
American Magazine what he thinks
will happen the nex$ trirty-five years
and he also tells how it feels to be
thirty-five. He says:
"There will not be a- king, emporor,
czar or kaiser in Europe.
"There will be an independent re-
public; so will Poland.
"Liquor will be taboo the world over
—barred at its source.
"Women will have full suffrage ev-
erywhere.
"Socialism will not have displaced
republican government.
"There will be aerial routes across
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
"All principal cities will have dou-
ble-decked streets, the lower strata for
traffic by vehicles exclusively.
"Emigrants from one country to an-
other will be rare.
"Fire arms of all kinds wil be ob-
solete, forbidden everywhere.
"Hugh artificial lights will make
the word as bright at night as by day.
"Physicians, lawyers, dentists, will
be public officials and will not work for
individual fees.
Love will guide matrimonii select-
ion, but government will refuse to
license the unfit, the mismatod, the im-
mature, the senile, the damaged.
"New York City will have 10,000,-
000 inhabitants and its own legisla-
ture; Chicago will have 7,000,000 and
its own legislature."
