TWO YEARS IN BED AND ROLLING CHAIR Mrs. Wilson Said She Had Given Up Ail Hope—Gains 25 Pounds on Tanlac and Is Now a Well Woman. “For two years I spent all my time either in the hospital, in bed, or in a rolling chair, and during that time I was given up to die, and I don’t guess I would be here now if it hadn’t been for Tanlac,” said Mrs. E. 0. Wilson. Mrs. Wil son is well known in Atlanta, her husband having been employed by The Constitution for a number of years. “1 was a great sufferer from chronic iudigestion,” continued Mrs. Wiison, “and don’t guess anybody ever had to go through with what 1 did. I was very weak and nervous, and at times had those dreadful smothering sensa tions to the point of fainting. 1 had dreadful headaches, severe pains in my back and over my kidneys, and my joints ached ail the time. For two years I had to live entirely on boiled milk, toast and soft boiled eggs, and even that time didn’t digest well, and would sour on my stomach. 1 didn’t know what it was to get a good night’s sleep. 1 took one kind of medicine after another until our house was almost filled with empty bottles, but instead of improving 1 was getting worse all the time. Finally they took me to the hospital for treatment, and 1, lay there for five long months, but ewn that didn’t make me well. !t was taking nearly every cent of my husband’s wages to pay my doctor and drug bills —our drug bill alone unounted to sl4 or sls a month, and one doctor bill amounted to SIOB. "It looked like everything had failed to help me, and I had about given up all hope when one day my husband brought a bottle of Tanlac home with him and asked me to take it. He said he had been reading and hearing a lot of good things about it, and didn’t see any reason why it shouldn’t help me. 1 was confined to my rolling chair when 1 began taking it, “Do 1 look like an invalid now ? 1 certainly don’t feel like one, and 1 have actually gained twenty-five 25 pounds on eleven bottles of Ttnlac, and feel as well as 1 ever did in my life. 1 can eat anything l want —such things as meats, tur nips, hard-boiled eggs don’t hurt me a par ticle, and 1 sleep as good as 1 did when 1 was a girl in my teens. I can get about as well as anybody and just the other day I walked down town, and I am run ning around the neighborhood calling on my friends all the time now. I haven’t a pain aoout me. I beiieve I am the happiest woman in Atlanta, and I think I have a right to be. I think my recovery is almost a miracle, and everybody in our neighborhood thinks the seme.” Tanlac is scld exclusively in Mc- Donough by the McDonough Drug Co; in Hampton, Ga., by H. A.

IM SEED SELECTiGi'j CF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO GOOD PRODUCTION Right Variety And Good Seed Necesaary In Fight Against 801 l Weevil, Says Board of Entomology Atlanta, August, (Special)—There Is a big difference between improved cotton seed and just “cotton seed.” Experiments conducted by the Geor gia State Hoard of Entomology have proven beyond question that the dif ference in value is as great as that between pure bred hogs, such as the Durocs and Berkshires, and the piney woods “razor-back.” Many fanners have learned the Im portance of this difference. They have found from actual experience, involv ing losses, that it is not safe to plant the ordinary varieties of cotton seed. So important is this problem of seed selection, that the board feels it must strongly urge every fanner to make effort this year to improve his cotton seed by mass selection at least. In mass selection the best stalks are selected, and picked togeth er. This cotton is carefully ginned ajid the seed planted next year for the seed patch. Enough stalks should be selected to plant for a bale or at least half a bale. Pedigreed Breeding Then, a few farmers in each coun ty should take up the work of pedi greed breeding or individual selection. Under this plan a number of the best and most resistant plants are chosen and the seed of each plant saved to itself. The next season a short row Is planted from each stalk. Planted side by side, the opportunity is given for easy comparison, and ascertain ing which i 5 the most resistant and has the strongest transmitting power. This is important to determine, for plants, like animals, transmit their good as well as their bad qualities to their progeny. The seed from the row showing the greatest resisiance to disease and the greatest yield, is saved and planted next season in a multiplying patch. The seei’ from this in turn is saved, and the following season as many acres as possible should be planted with it. Thus, from one stalk, in three years, a very large quantity of seed may be secured. In individual selection great care must be used in securing the best plants. It is often noticed that plants vary greatly in the same field. 11l making selections study the follow ing characteristics: Resistance to For Croup Mothers— Always Keep this Kandy The de.y of tho Croup scare is over for those parents who wisely ic-ep Toley'a Honey a_d Tar Compound In the homo ready for instant use. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., writes: “I have raised a family of four children. : nd have used l-’cley’a Honey aad Tar Compound with all of them. 1 find it the best croup aad cough medicine I have ever u. d and I have used it for eight or ton ycary, and can recommend it for croup.” If toward nightfall the little ones grow hoarse or croupy, if their breath ing becomes wheezy ar.d stuffy, give them Foley’;? Honey and Tar Compound promptly a id it will ward off an attack of croup. If you are awakened by the hoarse brassy cough that means croup, give Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound at once. It will ease the little sufferers quickly, cut the thick choking phlegm, and soon they will have easy breathing and peaceful quiet sleep. if k Every user is a friend.

Watch The Type Of Plant Stalks of the predominating type in the row or held, should be chosen, if equally resistant and well fruited as others. Get the form of the ideal stalk well fixed in your mind, and look for it. Remember the type from year to year, a.iul don’t change unless you should change to a different strain or seed variety. Select from stalks having long fruit ing limbs close to the ground, and with joints close together. Get those with fewer large stalked branches, but with the fruiting branches most nu merous. As a rule it is best to select the plants that have most of the fruit on the lower part of the stalk, for these begin fruiting early. Maintain the fruiting and resistant qua’.i ies by "rogi ing.” Do this both in the progeny rows and in the field. This mean* cu M »g out the diseased and stunted sta.ks -bout July 1 and August 1, so a.-> to crossing with the fruitful and resistant plants. Get The Right Variety Every farmer should begin by get ting the variety of cotton that he wishes to grow, the variety best adapted to his locality, and then stick to it. Write for Bulletin No. 46 of the Georgia Slate Board of Entomolo gy on “Cotton Variety Tests;” this will assist you in selecting your va riety. Selection and planting of the right variety for your locality, is half the fight against the boll weevil. The board of en omology has gins both in Atlanta and at Thomasville. (Send your individual seed selections to the board at either place, properly numbered and sacked, and they will be ginned and returned to you free of charge. The per cent of lint each stalk makes will be determined and marked on each sack. Send your seed in as soon as possible after the cot ton is picked, so that it may be gin ned without delay. Address it to the Georgia State Board of Entomology, either Atlanta or Thomasville, which ever place is nearest you. Write also, for any other information you may wish.
