GEORGIA FARMER
HAS GAINED 15 LBS
SINCE TAKING IT.
“ Tanlac Mas Made a Real
Fa rme r of Me Once
More,” Me Says. Lived
on Milk and Eggs But
Now Eats Anything.
“I suffered with stomach trouble
for twenty years, but I tell you,
joting man, this Tanlac medicine has
«.uout ended rny troubles and What’s
snore than that, I’ve gained fifteen
. Hinds since 1 began taking it,” said
11. McCauley, a well-known and
i.ighly respected farmer of Dade
v ounty, Georgia, in talking io the
ianlac representative at the Live and
iet Live Drug Company, Chatta
i uoga, a few days ago.
Just think of a farmer having
Ct live on raw eggs and the like!
a rnLng is bard work, and a man
<- :ght to have plenty of good sub
. ..ntial food to keep going. But
. >v eggs was just about all 1 could
< l, for roy stomach was in such a
v,d shape it couldn’t stand much
v. anything. If I did eat much I
• ould have to pay for it afterwards,
x ne pit of my stomach was as sore
x. : a boil and at times 1 would al
most choke with gas on my stom-
ix. 1 got so weak 1 could hardly
..and on my feet, much less work,
i was constipated most of the time
. (1 had dreadful dizzy spells. I've
x. sa>d farm life was the hap
, est life of all, but I tell you a man
a the shape I was in couldn’t get
much enjoyment out of it.
“1 tried one kind of medicine after
another, but none of it did me good
until 1 got hold of Tanlac. I began
taking it and felt better from the
mst three or four doses. My ap-
• etite picked up and I began to eat
things 1 hadn’t touched in months
«.;d everything tasted good and
agreed with me.
‘•When 1 began taking Tanlac I
weighed 137 pounds, but I’ve been
gaining steadily ever since and now
1 weigh 152 pounds, which is a gain
of 15 pounds. 1 am not bothered
with pains in my stomach any longer
•nd I feel good in every way—just
like 1 had been made all over again.
I’m not constipated like I was, am
no longer nervous and feel stronger
than 1 have in years. I am now
able to work in the field from sun-
Tise to sunset. 1 go to bed early
and sleep good all night, and wake
up next morning feeling like a six
teen-year-old. I’ve taken four bot
tles of the medicine.
“Tanlac has made a real farmer
of me again, and you don’t know
how happy I am. I just feel like
telling everyone I see what a won
derful tiling it is.”
Tanlac is sold by leading drug
gists in all principal towns of the
South. ' »

THE JEFFERSONIAN
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
SENATOR McCRORY CORRECTS
BOOK-TRUST BRITTAIN.
Dear Sir: Will you allow me
space to answer Hon. M. L. Brittain’s
address at the State Teachers’ Con
vention in Macon?
Prof. Brittain is quoted in the*
Telegraph as saying:
“The teachers and school officials
of the State last year and the year
before, in their annual conventions
without a dissenting vote, declared
; t the part of wisdom for Georgia
to continue with the forty-six States
and the 95,000,000 people pur
chasing texts in the open market
rather than follow’ the lead of two,
containing one-twentieth of that
number, printing their own home
made books.”
If Prof. Brittain means to convey
the idea that the texts of the books
taught are “home-made” then he is
•in error. The school books in Cali
fornia and Kansas are printed on
their own printing presses but the
texts of the books are selected in
the open market and a royalty paid
to the author by the State; the same
as if paid by a school book publisher.
Let us keep the record straight and
not muddy the water.
I quote from the report of the
State Printer of California July 1,
1914, to June 30, 1915. During
this time twenty-three different
school books were printed and in
every instance a royalty was paid to
the author or to the school book
publishing houses for the use of the
text. The cost is as follows. Print
ing Primer .102, royalty .048; First
Reader, printing .102; royalty .048,
and all though the list of books, and
the total of the twenty-three books
is as follows: Manufacturing cost,
$3.0865; royaltv, $1.5135. Total,
$4.60.
The Eastern book companies
charge’s9.9o for these books. Kan
sas is paying a royalty also and print
ing her own school books much
cheaper than California because of
more modern equipment: and it
sounds strange for one occupying the
position of Prof. Brittain saying that
because all except two States are
paying tribute to the book trust that
we ought to do it. Would it make
any difference in the value of the
text of the school book if- Sears &
Roebuck printed it instead of the
book companies? Both Kansas and
California are using texts bought in
the open market and printing their
own books at a saving to the pur
chasers of at least 4 0 per cent, if
bought from the book companies in
the open market.
Will Prof. Brittain please tell who
wrote that resolution and who in
troduced it. and who moved its adop
tion. Give us the names and the
relation they sustain towards the
publishing houses. Year before last
two of the speakers were interested
directly in the sale of school books
in Georgia, to-wit, Hon. Lawton B.
Evans, of Ashmore.
It may be best to continue to pay
tribute to the book trust, but some
people cannot see it and many peo
ple question the wisdom of that
policy.
If the State Teachers’ Association
.will cut loose from those directly
.interested in the sale of school books
in Georgia, their number will be
.greatly diminished but their influ
ence greatly increased.
If Prof. Brittain in his sarcastic
statement of “home-made books”
means that these States print them,
then he is correct with a big “K.”
Let us see what it means in Kan
sas. I quote from the report of the
State Printer, Hon| W. R. Smith.
(I guess he is good authority.)
“In Kansas we are working one
Jiundred employees and saving
$75,0'4)0 a year on State printing
alone. (This does not include school
books.)
“We have the most modern equip
ped printing plant in the United
States.
T.We are producing school books
at 60 per cent, of the former prices
charged by Eastern book companies.
(Does Brittain object to this?)
“We are paying SIOO,OOO a year
to Kansas workmen instead of send
ing it to school-book publishers.
This despite a bitter and never
ending fight waged against State
publication by the book concerns.
(Does Brittain object to this?)
“During the first five months of
the present administration State pub
lication of school books has saved
tax-payers $30,601.55.”
Prof. Brittain is not alone in his
criticism of these States. He is
joined by every school book agent
in the United States. No doubt that
his “home-made” reference tickled
Evans & Co. much, but who pays the
cost?
If Ford automobiles sold for $1
each and gasoline 1 cent per gallon,
every one would ride. Let us see if
we can not produce cheaper school
books and thereby decrease illiteracy,
and then we can furnish them free.
The book trust does not object to
free school books, provided you buy
them in the open market, from them,
at their price. If Prof. Brittain ob
jects to home-made books by printing
them at home, let him say so. This
is what California and Kansas are
doing. Sincerelv,
Ga. C. R. McCRORY.

ROME’S SYSTEM OF PAGAN
WORSHIP.
(From “The Good Citizen,” pub
lished at Zarephath, N. J.)
It is not difficult to prove that
Roman Catholicism is a gigantic sys
tem of pagan worship; and that so
juany people in this enlightened age
are blind and cannot see it, is as
tonishing. There is really no sem
blance of Christianity in it. It is
true much is made of the crucifix,
but it is merely a means to better

affect Rome’s idolatrous worship
There is no real God in all their
heathen propaganda. This may be
demonstrated any day or hour should
one attempt to antagonize in the
slightest degree the devotees of the
Roman system. Threats of violenpe
will be heard immediately. It is
not an uncommon thing for those
who are thoroughly imbued with Ro
mish superstition to threaten to beat,
scald, or kill, those who venture to
enlighten them. There is scarcely 1
a day that we do not hear reports
of Rome’s activities on this line.
Mobs are the only answer Rome can
make and she has always replied in
this way.
The fact is, the Catholics have no
Bible. They are as ignorant of the
New Testament teachings as if they
had never seen a copy of the Scrip
tures. To do personal violence to
those who disagree with them is the
ruling passion of most of them.
