Little Miss Leila H'ooks ce’ebrated
her eighth birthday Thursday after
noon at her home on Harrold avenue,
with the gathering of a few friends
together for the occasion.
Games were arranged for the lit

weather proving too inclement out
side for lawn playing. The. most en
joyable feature of the party was the
fish pond from which the guests fish
ed for Valentines, the large and
beautiful one being hooked by Lit

JonquPs were used as decorations
.in the living room, the gift of an
older friend of the little hostess,

Tanlac I am feeling as well now as
I ever felt in my life and I only wish
I had time to go to every home and
tell every sick person about this
grand medicine.
“A year ago last Januarv I had a
severe attack of influenza which left
me in a terribly weakened :ondition
and my appetite was so poor that I
ate little more than enough to keep
body and soul together.
“My heart palpitated so dreadfully
at times that it seemed lik* it had
stopped altogether and I would think
my time had come. I was so weak
that I couldn’t go up the steps .with
out holding to the railing. It was im
possible for me to do any housework.
I was so nervous that I couldn't
drink my tea or coffee without spill
ing it.
“My sleop was restless and broken
and I would have smothering spells
and would just have to get up and go
t > the window so I could breathe.
“I finally started taking Tanlac on
the advice of a friend and before 1
had finished taking the second bottle
my neighbors could tell I was im
proving right along. Well, it has
•only taken five bottles- to restore my
health completely.
■ “My appetite is just splendid now,
my nerves are strong and steady, my
housework is a real pleasure, and I
can sleep like a child at night. In
fact, 1 never felt better in my life
than I do. now.”

Superannuated Preacher
ith Meaner Income,
Aids Starving
ATLANTA, Feb. 4.—From a man
who has never known anything bu’
sacrifice in a monetary sense has
come a second contribution to the
fund for the relief of the starving
chi'dren of Europe.
He is a superannuated Methodist
preacher, wearing threadbare clothes,
struggling to pay drug bills, unab'e
to do any work to supplement his
meager income. All of his produc
jtive years were spent in a service
for which he was paid the bare bones
of a living. Now in old age he di
vides his crust, so to speak, with the
children across the sea who have less
I than he. Here was his letter ac
companying his second contribution:
I “Being a superannuated Methodist
peracher, seventy-five years old,
wearing a threadbare suit, broken
in health and hence have had to quit
all effort to add to my resources,
and with constant drug bills, I sent
you recently only two dollars for the
starving and destitute over yonder.
“Looking at the picture of the
girl in your yesterday’s advertise
ment, I felt that since four of my
six daughters have thrifty husbands
to provide for them, and the others
have good positions, ought as
a thank offering to risk some more,
so I enclose another check for three
dollars."
And alongside of this magnificent
contribution on the honor roll is the
following from a Confederate vet
eran’s wife:
“Please Slcept with God’s bless
ing this dollar as a small contribu
tion to the poor little starving chil
dren in Europe. It is small, but I
am an old veteran's wife and only
have what is given me. I wish I
could send you one hundred dollars.
God bless the cause.’’
These are the sort of contribu
tions that make up the bulk of Geor
gia’s fund to date.
been spent on church repairs. Over
$650 has been sent to evangelize
the uttermost parts of the earth. The
deacons are anxious to have all
pledges for the year paid up as soon
as possible.
During the coming week the Cir
cles will make an effort to get a
I’resbyterian weekly paper in every
home. It will be a step forward if
every home which doesn’t take such
i paper will subscribe now.

IF SKIN BREAKS

APPLYJULPHUR
• Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn
ing or broken out skin, the itching
stops and healing begins, says a
noted skin specialist This sulphur
preparation, made into a pleasant
cold cream, gives such a quick re
lief, even to fiery eczema, that noth
ing has ever been found to take its
place.
Because of its germ destroying pro
perties, it quickly subdues the itch
ing, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving a clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup
tions, rash, pimples or roughness.

Chalmers Explained
LONDON, Feb. 4 Negotiations
relative to the adjustment of Great
Britain’s debt to the United States
are in the hands of Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador in Wash
ington, and the proposed trip to
America of Lord Chalmers, perma
nent secretary of the British treas
ury, was merely to facilitate the con
versations.
This explanation was given here
yesterday for the postponement of
Lord Chalmers’ visit to the United
States during the absence of Am- ■
bassador Geddes. It was declared
that it would be illogical to suppose
that he was in position to offer any
propoals relative to the negotiations,
since the government had deemed it
desirable for him to remain here un
til the return of Ambassador Geddes
to Washington.

■J® Keep The Egg
Basket Full!
The feed elements that
® ma ' <c whites of eggs are en-
Ea tirely different from those that make yolks. When
h ens aren ’t fed both the white and yolk making
La elements, they can’t keep the egg basket full. The
Ci usual method of feeding mostly grain makes yolks
fl but not enough whites to complete the eggs.
EJ Missouri Experiment Station tests prove that 100 lbs. of
fl wheat, corn, oats, barley and kaffir corn make (above bodily main
g|| • tenance) an average of 224 yolks to 154 whites. Based on data
M from the same experiments, Purina formulas produce, (above bodily

Purina Hen Chow 247.49 142 11
Purina Chicken Chowder 182.05 282.55

These Purina chows not only make a practically equal num
