Rural Credit and Rural Thrift.
The South and the West and the
Northern agricultural states have
much to learn in the way of rural
thrift from the New England rural
communities. The constant cry is eas
ier credit for the farmer, but what
the farmer most needs is more thrift.
Some of the Southern states are
cursed with crop lien laws which are
holding back the rural communities
by allowing a man to mortgage his
future work and hopes and keeps him
continually in debt instead of allow
ing him to lay something aside* ’ it
is an astonishing fact that Ha rsaehu
®atts has five thwe* Moire savings
bank deposits, thail have twelve south
em states, In Massachusetts there
are 3,3W,000 people and 2,250,000 of
them have savings deposits. In three
years the savings banks in connec
tion with the public schools showed
1,400,000 deposits. Every school in
the rural communities ought to have
a course of “thrift talks,” whereby
the teacher could lay before the pu
pils the necessity of saving a portion
of whatever money they might -earn.
Th s money could be deposited m sav
ings banks, and, later when it has
grown, could be used to purchase
gw>d, safe bonds paying three and
one half to five per cent interest. The
child mind, as well as the mind of
those who are older, should be im
pregnated with the fact that it is not
what o-ne earns that makes a compe
tency fox oUI age, but what one lays

COOPER WILL PROVE
FAMOUS THEORIES.
Celebrated Medicine Accomplishing
Remarkable Results in Lead
ing Cities.
“As previously stated, Mr. Cbopei?
lanta of L. T. Cooper, the man who
electrified the larger cities of the
country with his philanthropy, health
theories and ce’eb rated' medicine.
TSanlac, C. F. Willis, his southern
representative, said:
“Thousands of the n£)st prominent
people in Atlanta, Birmingham, Nash
ville and other cities where his cel
ebrated medicine has been accom
plishing such remarkable results, are
e.'en more enthusiastic over Tanlac
than .Mr. Cooper himself.
Referring to the recent visit tjo At
cuntends that nine-tenths of the dis
eases and ill-health of the average
person is due to a catarrhal condi
tion Which produces faulty digestion
and imp rope • assimilation of the food
“In a recent interview Mr. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve
kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheu
matism and a dozen other ailments,
and in this''connect ion said:
“ ‘As I have repeatedly said, my
medicine ac f s directly on the mucus
mem’ ra> ie, stomach and blood, expel
-leg from them the impurities and
tox’c poisons, and rendering to them
a strong, healthy condition. I am
convinced that the stomach regulates
the condition of the blood, and is the
founta'n head of heap h or disease, as
the case may be. My medicine is in
tended primarily for the regulation of
the stomach and catarrhal inflamation
but it is mo uncommon thing for per
sons who have used it to come to
me and explain that it has relieved
them of Rheumatism and many other
ailments not genera’ly recognized as
having their origin in stromach
trouble.’
“The ingredients or medicnal ele
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections of the earth—
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia,
West Indies, Mountain states, near
the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and
Peru are among the points from
which the principa l parts of the prep
aration are obtained. In the prin
cipal laboratory of the Cooper
.Medicine Company. Incorporated, Un
der the efficient direction of Herf Jos
Von Trimbach, a native German
cloniist of note, these medicinal herb
roots and barks are assembled in the
rough and painstakingly developed so
as to attain that high standard of'ef
ficiency shown by the uniform prep
aration of Tanlac.”
ln referring to the unprecedented
demand for Tanlac in Atlanta, Mr.
Chas. A. Smith, Manager of the Ja
cobs Pharmacy 00., said:
“I have been in the drug business
in Atlanta 25 years, and nojt in my
expedience have we handld anything
that even approaches Tanlac as a
seller. In less than five weeks’
time we have sold and distributed
through our eleven stores over 9,000
bottles, and on last Saturday alone
over 400 people called at our stores
to obtain the medicine. Judging from
the repeated sales and the many ex
pressions of satisfaction from those
who have actually tested Tanlac, the
preparation must be something of ex
traorJjnary m c rit.” Tanlac is sold
exclusively in Winder by Dr. G. ,W,
De La Perriere & Son; attd in 'Beth
lehem by Leslie & Hendrix. Advt.
