THIS IITTLE WOMAN GAINS 35 POUNDS “Honestly I am getting so fat I am really ashamed to tell you how much I have gained,” said Mrs, Nettie McGarr, who lives at 1806 Eighteenth Avenue, North, Nashville, Tenn,, several days ago. “Actually it has gotten to be a regular joke, for I have gotten so stout that my clothes are too small for me, and every dress I wore last winter will have to be made over again, ” she continued, “and ♦he change in my general appear ance is so wonderful that my friends and neighbors are all won dering what I have been doing with myself. When they ask me I just say I have been taking Tan lac, and it is a fact, for I have just finished my third bottle, and have gained 35 pounds. “When I began taking the medicine I only weighed 105 pounds and now I weigh 140 and never felt better in my life. “I always enjoyed good health up to about two years ago, when I began having indigestion, which gradually developed into a bad form of stomach trouble. This trouble began pulling me down and I finally got so 1 could noteat anything at all scarcely, and had to diet myself continually. I had to avoid sweets of all kinds and always after eating I would suffer for hours. “I was also very nervous and dizzy and was easy tired. I fin ally got so weak I could not walk any distance without resting. My kidneys must have been af fected also, fori had severe pains in my sides and back. “My sister, Mrs. Minnie Hall, came to see me one day and she looked so well I asked her what she had been taking. She told me Tan lac, and I made up my mind right then and there to give it a trial. “Acting on her advice, I bought a bottle and have been taking it regularly since. Of course I ex pected it to help me, but if any one had told me that there was a medicine on earth that would have helped me like Tanlac I would not have believed them. “The medicine seemed to be just the one thing I needed, for it just filled me with new life and energy from the very first dose.

JOHNSON COMPANY OFFICERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOTED CRIMINAL In George Hightower alias George Wilkinson, half breed In dian-negro, arrested here last week, officers believe they have a criminal who is badly wanted in some of the southern states.

Sixth Grade-Herbert Williams, What’s Your Answer? Take a year’s crop of cotton. The spinners spin it and the world con sumes it in twelve months. Yet the farmers have had to sell that crop in four. \ Who wins? The speculator. Who loses? The farmer. Put the cotton grower m position to sell his cotton when he wants to,, and he gets his full snare under “supply and demand. That’s the natural law that regulates the price of wheat. The size of the grain crop, divided by the appetite of mankind, gives the value in dollars. Doesn t matter that wheat in storage must be guarded against bugs and bacteria, as well as against fire and weather. That’s done. The wheat grower gets what he’s earned. Why isn’t that true of cotton? The bale hasn’t an enemy except weather and fire. It isn’t perishable. It won’t spoil in good storage. Yet every year the price of cotton has gone down in the fall—and gone up in the spring AFTER IT WAS OUT OF THE GROWL ER’S HANDS. Why can’t the price of cotton be stabilized like wheat’s? IT CAN. The only necessity is to fix things so you can borrow on your cotton and not have to throw it on the market for whatever you can get. That’s where the wheat farmer has the advantage. In order for you to be equally independent, you must have storage facilities like the wheat elevators in the grain country. That storage must be safe, cheap, respon sible. It must be covered by a rece'pt that tells the vital facts. Because in that receipt you get a NEGOTIABLE PAPER good for security ANYWHERE on the low interest loan you ask. Then you can carry your cotton. Then a year’s crop, destined to be used in twelve months, can be marketed as it’s called for. We’ve got that kind of storage giving that kind of receipt, right here in Atlanta. Our warehouses are proof against fire and weather, our rates are low, we are responsible; and the receipt we give you is negotiable. Atlanta Warehouse Cos. ASA a CANDLER, PricW P. O.
