ING HAVE DISAPPEARED, HE
SAYS.
“Yes, sir; it’s a fact, this time last
month I was one of the sickest men
you ever saw,” said Frank Jinks, who
lives on the Martin Mill pike, South
Knoxville, Tenn., “and today I feel as
well and strong as I ever felt in my
life.
“I have been suffering from kidney
troubles for the past eight years, and
the pains in my back at times would
almost kill me. When I had these
spells I would have to quit work. I
have lost as high as three weeks at a
time. I also suffered a great deal
with rheumatism. About six weeks ago
I had it so bad I couldn’t walk with
out crutches. My feet were so swollen
I couldn’t even put on my shoes. My
suffering was terrible, and once or
twice it got so bad I cried.
The doctor seemed unable to give
me any relief and his medicine seemed
to tear my stomach all to pieces. You
do not have to take my word for what
I am telling you—there are 20 people
who knew of my condition who will
tell you the same thing. My case has
been the talk of the neighborhood, an J
everybody is praising the medicine.
“Tanlac has done me so much good
I hardly know how to praise it. Only
two weeks after I began taking it I
was able to lay my crutches aside and
I can now walk as good as anybody.
Only a few days ago I walked from
the race track to the South Knoxville
company, a distance of about
four miles. I am now back at work
again and can go about as good as any
body. It has not cured my back and
rbeumatim, but I feel absolutely well
in every way. I simply can’t get
enough to .eat and eevrything seems to
agree with me. My strength has re
turned also, and I have gained ten
pounds in weight. When I go to bed
at night I sleep like a child-some
thing I haven't done for months.
“If anyone doubts what you tell them
about my case, just tell them to call
nef phone 1923-B and I will be more
than glad to tell them about the won
derful benefit I have received from it.
Tanlac is worth its weight in gold and
I will always feel grateful for what it
has done for me.

AGTIOAIS_BY BULL
DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 11. —Ireland
ibas just passed through a vigorous and
successful agitation against govern
ment methods of retrenchment. It is
a tradition of Irish Government that
some of its services are extremely
costly in proportion to the needs of
the people, while others are starved.
The Treasury, in determining to ef
fect war economics, proceeded to at
tack one after the other the “starved
cervices,” leaving mostly untouched
the larger and less useful items. They
thus irritated the largest possible num
ber of people and interests for the
smaller return in cash.
One of the starved services is edu
cation. The National Library in Dub
lin, the Royal Irish Academy of Music,
the teaching of science is secondary
schools and agricultural education all
suffered, or were threatened. Among
the grants to be discontinued was the
small sum for the College of Irish.
This brought the Gaelic League into
the fray, and throughout every part of
Ireland, resolutions of public bodies
and public meetings, culminating n a
I meeting in the Dublin mansion house,
conveyed to the government the popu
lar indignation. The Irish Catholic
bishops also passed a series of resolu
tions of protest.
It was not only the educational
giants that suffered. Ireland has been
receiving a grant of 10,000 pounds a
year for the encouragement of horse
breeding. The country is a great breed
ing ground for army horse and its
merits in this respect were recognized
before the war not only by the British
government but by foreign bpyers. It
was announced that the horse-breeding
grant was to be stopped through a sim
liar grant of larger amount given to
Great Britain was not only to be con
tinued but increased. Protest in par
liament led to the .explanation that ar
my horses could be more convenient
ly bred in England because it was
nearer to the seat of war, and be
cause the provision of army horses
plight be an urgent matter of hours,
i?,steads of days. As an argument
azainst a grant for breeding horses in
Ireland this was not regarded as con
vincing. Meanwhile no serious attack
was made on the swollen items of
Irish expenditure. The police cost
over a million and a half pounds sterl
ing, though for some years past the
record of the country is almost crime
less, and the judges of assize are con
stantly presented with white gloves by
the sheriff, because there are no cases
to try.
Ireland’s taxation since the war has
increased from about eleven millions
to about seventeen and a half millions,
and the treasury methods of retrench
ment would be ineffective for any real
contribution towards war . economics.
They are said to have been due to the
blunder of some minor officials in Dub
lin Castle, or in Whitehall, unacquaint
ed with the country. At first they were
defended in the house of commons by
the treasury chiefs. But after the rep
resentations made by Mr. Redmond
and other Irish parliamentary leaders,
it has been decided that these small
economics detrimental to national effi
ciency will not be further persisted in.
The matter has caused a great deal of
irritation among people of all classes
and sections of Irish opinion, who
have shown. great sympathy with the
v. ar, and admit the necessity of wise
public economics.

Era of Flying Machines Is
Made Truly Great By The
Teutons and Enemies in War
Feb. 11. —French aviation
authorities agree that Germany has
been able to entirely transform its
aviation service since the war began,
making improvements of a most im
portant character, while it possessed
certain advantages over the French
flying corps at the outset.
The reason for the superiority of the
Germans is what was considered be
fore the war a French specialty will
perhaps become public in the parlia
mentary debate that is imminent. One
aviator attributes the difference to the
fact that while the French followed
aviation as a sport, the. Germans took
it up seriously for practical applica
tion to the requirements of the army.
He points out that the Germans were
flying at night long before the war
began, while the French began their
boctupnal trips only after the was was
several months old.
The same authority warns against
the assumption that the results obtain
ed by the French flying corps are neg
ligible. Whatever may be the founda
tion for criticism of this branch of
Ihe service, he says, the results obtain
ed in some ways have been done far
more appreciable than what the Ger
mans have done. He recalls that dur
ing the battle of the Marne. September
8 1914, aviators destroyed half of the
artillery of the 16th German army
ccrps in the region of Trioucourt.
This .exploit was all the more re
markable since the French had never
appeared to arrive at any results la
experiments made with the combined
manoeuvres of artillery and flying ma
chines before the war. One of the last
notable attempts made in 1912 during
the manoeuvres resulted in the theor
etic capture by the opposite army of
an entire flying corps. During the
French manoeuvres of 1913, the flying
corps, used under modified conditions,
acquitted itself more creditably, but
tie experiments gave no hint of the
utility of the corps in actual warfare.
Consequently, as compared with Ger
many where it seems the experiments
were more significant, aviation as a
service in the army was apparently
neglected. The idea of protecting fly
ing corps with steel armor, at one
time considered, was abandoned and
was only taken up again after German
armored flying machiness had been
captured.
The French also stuck to the mono
plane until they had captured enough
ci the German biplanes to give them
.demonstrative proof that they were
superior for most different kinds of
work. The French also learned from
the Germans that security at great
height is fallacious. Fragments of
shells reach them even at a height of
3,500 yards, while at 1,800 yards it is
often more difficult for the gunners to
get the range. The fire at that point is
generally too high.
Again, at the beginning, the French
aviation service used the same type of
machines for all kinds of missions. All
at once they discovered that the Ger
man! machine that made a raid on a
metropolitan oenter or military point
was not the same as the machine that
regulated the fire of the artillery. The
result of this was the beginning of a
classification of aircraft with reference
to special adaptibility.
Theer was also at the beginning a
marked difference in the tactics em
ployed by the German and Freeh air
men. The former appeared to avoid
contact with the latter, either with a
view of concentrating their efforts up
on other objects than individual com
bats or with the idea that the encount
er might not be equal. The explana
tion now given by a competent auth
ority is the Germans lost their best
aviators at the very outset of the war.
This fact was disclosed by the note
book of a German aviator killed near
Verdun, Feburary 4, this year. As
early as September 12, 1914, the Ger
mans had lost Furstenair, Neumann,
Dallurg, Beaulieu, Gresch, Jahnow,
Koch, Blutgen .Heyden and Baurissin.
This is further confirmed by a German
aviator, made prisoner, who said that
they had found the greatest difficutly
in replacing these men killed or can
tuned.
This seems to explain the French
claim that with less efficient material
French aviators accomplished more
tangible results, such as the destruc
ticn of Zeppelins, and Zeppelin sheds,
and damage to the enemy’s field works.
The French army is said to have ample
proofs to this effect in orders of the
day issued from the German general
headquarters, impressing upon the
officers and men carefully studied ways
of avoiding dangerous arms of the
French flying corps.
There seems to be more esprit de
ccrps among the airmen than in any
other branch of the service and gerater
mutual courtesy between officers or
tie different armies. The most recent
manifestation if it was the dropping by
Corporal Kandulski, of the German
flyin gcorps, of a wreath upon the spot
w here he had brought the celebrated
Pegoud to .earth, bearing this inscrip
tion: “To Pegoud, our enemy, who
died like a hero. Signed his advers
aries.”
In September 191114 a German pilot
established this precedent by dropping
ir. the French lines a courteous notice
to the effect that Lieutenant Fouret
had been made a prisoner at the camp
of Chalons. Later on a German avia
tor dropped behind the French lines a
letter from the pilot Senouque, who
had been captured by the Germans. In
May of last year when Thauron and
Blancpain were brought down by the
German artillery, a German aviator
flew’ over the lines and dropped a paper
giving the circumstances ,and termin
ating with these words: “Thauron
and Blancpain died the death of the
brave. Military honors were accorded
to them.” When the well known artist
Daniel de Losques was killed in an
aerial combat during the return of his
squadron from the attack upon Sarre
bruck, one of the enemy’s flotilla drop
ped a notice tearing “De Ixisques and
his pilot fought bravely. They ars
burled at Harburg near Blamont. The’r
papers will be sent back to France by
way of Switzerland.”
The present crisis in French aviation
is said in some quarters to be a simple
conflict of Individual preferences on

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 11.—That fully
fifty per cent, of Atlanta’s girls are
either bow-legged or slightly knock
kneed is declared by style experts and
modistes here, who announce that the
spring skirts will continue to be short
and that some of them will be real
hoopskirts. They say that short
skirts, particularly of the hooped and
flaring variety should not be worn
by bow-legged girls.
Another type of deviation from the
straight line which they say is ra
ther frequent in Atlanta, is the girl
w hose nether limbs are straight at the
knees, but whose ankles are slightly
“sprung” outward, giving an impress
ion when her dresses are at her shoe
tops that she is bow-legged, whereas
in reality she is not.
The modistes offer the consoling
further comment, however, that there
is nothing peculiar to Atlanta alone
about the situation, and that in manv
ol.er cities as well the young lady
whose lomer limbs are perfectly sym
metrical is the exception rather tha.i
the rule.
