ON EIGHT BOTTLSE.
A Danger to Be Averted.
Atlanta .lournul.
While congratulating the South on
its present prosperity, which is due in
largo measure to an abundant produc
tion of foodstuffs, Home observers fear
thot the advance in cotton prices may
tempt many farmers to return to the
hazards of the one-crop system. That
is a danger to lie considered now and
to he guarded against with all the vigor
and foresight of which our thoughtful
planters and business men are capable.
If the cotton tyranny is re-established,
the agricullulal improvement and the
economic progress of the past twelve
months will he sacrificed, and the
South will he exposed again to the un
certain fortunes of a single crop.
This is a matter that now engages
the attention of the South's well
wishers, not only intheCotton Belt, hut
throughout the country. The New
York Commercial, one of the foremost
business journals of America and an
over-friendly student id' Southern con
ditions, remarks in a leading editorinl
on the subject: “Some inveterate cot-
ton-growerH are foolish enough to wish
that they had planted more cotton last
spring. If all of them had done so and
the crop had execeeded fifteen million
hales, as would have been tho case had
the acreage of 1911 been planted, cot
ton would he worth little if any more
to-day than it was a year ago.” Con
tinuing its well-reasoned argument, The
Commercial suya:
“The reduced acreage, the smaller
crop and the revival of business, wilh a
larger consumption of cotton than was
expected, coupled with the display of
an inclination to turn to other things
and become independent of cotton, all
contributed to advance the price of cot
ton. Cotton may go higher, hut the
farmers should regnrd the improve
ment as a reward for their good judg
ment in reducing the output. Having
succeeded ho well, they should adhere
to the new policy instead of slipping
hack into the old rut. Any farmer in
the South can raise all the corn, pota
toes, vegetables, fruit, pork, eggs,
milk, butter and poultry that his house
hold needs. The climutu is in his
favor and he c in produce more of the
necessarits of life on his farm than can
tho farmi rsof lie 1 West and Northwest.
Having provided most of llie food re
quired, it is easy to buy sugar, Hour,
clothing, ele., with cotton, and buy
and sol! for cash. For two yenrs corn
has hern a more profitable crop than
cotton, anil tho South has raised more
of it this year than ever before.”
This diversity of crops makes for the
upbuil'i’gof every field of Southern
interests, commercial, industrial and
financial no less than agricultural. In
Slates like Georgia, whose population
is mainly rural, business is peculiarly
dept ndent on farm conditions. If the
farmers nr* saddled with debt, con
tracted in buying food supplies at high
prices from distant quarters, wide
spread mi I substantial prosperity is
impossihl». If the farmers raise their
own fo al neerssa ies and thus are able
to retain u considerable portion of their
prod’s from the “money" crop, busi
ness invariably is stimulated. Obliga
tions are met promptly, credit is elas
tic. trade is lively, from the largest
manufacturers and wholesalers to the
smallest shops.
The South's best thought and energy
should organize now for the encourage
ment of diversified crops in the seasons
ahead. The farmers should prepare
now for the greatest grain crops and
other food harvests they ever produced.
For this purpose the agricultural and
business leadership in every county of
Georgia should inaugurate an intensive
campaign. If this is done the autumn
of 1916 will he more prosperous than
that which now blesses us. Any other
course would be perilous and foolish.

Almost Lost Hope of Getting Well
—Takes Tanlac and Now Feels
Better Than He Has in Twenty-
Five Years.
“Tanlac, to my mind, is the greatest
and grandest medicine in the world,”
said f). H. Mahaffey, Chief Engineer
of the Life & Casualty Building, Nash
ville, Tenn., a few days ago.
“I have taken eight bottles," he con
tinued, “and have actually gained forty
pounds in weight, and feel stronger and
better than I have in twenty-five yeurs.
"For two years I have suffered with
the worst kind of stomach trouble and
indigestion, and fell off in weight from
210 pounds to 162. I am now hack at
202, which is almost as much as I
weighed before I was taken sick.
About six months ago I got awful bad
off, and called in the doctor, and he
told me I had an ulcer of the stomach,
and if I was not careful it might turn
into cancer. He gave me some medi
cine. I didn’t seem to get any better,
and was afraid to eat anything except
a little oatmeal and sweet milk, but in
spile of everything 1 could do, I just
kept’going down hill, and got weaker
and weaker every day. I got so dis
heartened one day I told my employer
it looked like I would have to throw up
my job. I was trying to hold on though
as long as I could, for I had a family to
support, and I made up my mind that
just as long as 1 could drag myself
around I would stick it out.
“One day my wife told me what she
had read in the papers, and what the
neighbors were saying about Tanlac,
and hogged me to try it. She had rend
about a man who had taken it, who de
scribed my case exactly, and he was
getting lots better, hut I had tried all
kinds of medicines, so 1 didn’t have
much hope of it doing me any good.
Resides, my doctor had already told me
1 would have to he operated on in order
to get relief. Something just told me,
though, it might help me, and I decid
ed to try it.
“After 1 had taken it a day or two I
got so hungry I just simply had to eat,
and I did oat, and you can believe me
or not, nothing seemed to hurt me a
particle. My wife said to me, 'Tunlac
must be helping you,’ and I said: ‘i
guess it is from the way I am eating."
'It wasn't long before those awful
pains in tny stomach and the small of
my back began to loave me. Then I
noticed I began to sleep better, and I
would get up in the mornings full of
life and ready to work. The medicine
seemed to take hold quicker than any
thing I ever saw, and braced me right
up. I am tolling all my friends about
Tanlac, und 1 hope everybody will hear
about it.”
Tunlac is sold exclusively in Newnan
by Odom Drug Co. Tanlac is sold ex
clusively in Moreland by L. S. & A. Q.

Owes Her Good Health to Chamber
lain's Tablets.
“1 owe my good health to Chamber
lain’s Tablets,’’ writes Mrs. R. G. Neff,
Crookston, Ohio. “Two years ago 1

1 took three bottles of these tablets and
have since been in the best of health.”

Christmas
Early.”
J. A. Coleman.
The above slogan in the hands of an
astute business man. changed the whole
practice of Christmas shopping and
stimulated holiday business as nothing
else could have done. This man, with
the nerve of a Rarnum and the judg
ment of a Wanamaker, grabbed the
thought from the public mind and put
it into big black type where “He who
runs may read’’—in the newspaper! He
backed a popular conviction with his
coin and advertised the universal belief
that it would be better for everyone
concerned if the inevitable Christmas
purchases wee made at once, while
stocks wore fresh and new and the
choice was wide and ample.
The result not only paid the adverti
ser, as it always does—but tho whole
country profited besides.
This slogan has since slipped into
practical use in every corner of commer
cial America. Except perhaps its fel
low slogan, “Safety First,” which re
duced the accident death rate enor
mously, it has done more good in the
world than any business phrase ever
coined. It has been the means of dis
continuing the time-honored practice
umong large metropolitan department
and specialty stores of keeping open in
the evenings a week or two preceding
Christmas Eve. It has enabled manu
facturers to prepare their goods and
(ill orders far enough in advance to in
sure clear store-rooms long before the
Yuletide candles were lighted. It pre
vented the disappointment of millions
of Christmas shoppers who were wont
in times past to wait for the more at
tractive novelties which turned up at
the last moment. And not the least im
portant, ic saved the heartaches of neg
lected ones who leant upon the broken
reed of mere man's thoughtlessness.
That phrase, "Do Your Christmas
Shopping Early,’’ was instantly taken
up and Hashed before the eyes of the

The Sweet-minded Woman.
So great is the influence of a sweet-
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. It is to
her that folks come in seasons of sor
row and sickness for help and comfort.
One soothing touch of her kindly hand
works wonders in the feverish child. A
few words let fall from her lips in the
ear of a sorrowing sister do much to
raise the load of a grief that is bowing
its victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure of business, and feeling
world through the medium of its news- irritable with the world in general; but
papers. Just as every other worthwhile
thing is told this nation of readers by
the ever present, constant, reliable,
all-knowing morning, evening, weekly,
or Sunday newspaper. Nothing the
world does is done without its knowl
edge, nothing you want the world to
know can be made known without its
aid. Almost any national manufacturer
will tell you that most of his fame and
profit were the product of newspaper
advertising. No newspaper advertiser
who kept it up wisely ever lost money.
The newspaper pays the advertiser.
The latter merely invests in business
publicity. The cost of advertising is
like a phantom Zeppelin—it never lights
anywhere. It is a bugaboo made of thin
air and a yellow streak. The common
supposition that advertising expense is
levied upon the consumer is likewise a
fallacy. The fact of the matter is that
the non-advertiser pays for it in the
amount of business he loses to competi
tors who do advertise.
Advertising doubles output, halves
overhead, divides selling cost, and, by
making two customers buy where only
one bought before, it creates a hundred
per cent, increase in profit—out of
which any business man can well afford
to pay for his own advertising.
Moral for merchants: Advertise in
The Herald and do your Christmas bus
inesB early.
when he enters the cozy sitting-room
and sees the blaze of the bright fire,
and meets his wife’s smiling face, he
succumbs in a moment to the soothing
influences which act as the balm of
Gilead to his wounded! spirits, that are
wearied with combatting with thestern
realities of life. The rough school boy
flies ill a rage from the taunts of his
companions to find solace in his moth
er’s smile. The little one, full of
grief with its own large troubles, finds
a haven of rest on its mother’s breast.
And so one might go on with instances
of the influence that a sweet-minded
woman has on the social life with which
she is connected. Beauty is an insig
nificant power compared with hers.

Nothing Modern.
Just how few of our boasted "mod
ern” conveniences and luxuries date
from a period later than the beginning
of the Christian era is told by the Rev.
Camden M. Cobern, archaeologist, of
Allegheny College, Indiana.
Here are some of the things described
by I)r. Cobern as known in the year 1,
or thereabouts:
Shorthand was as common then as it
is now.
Elevators were run in certain pala
tial homes.
Pipe organs driven by waterpower
were in use.
Flats were for rent.
Roads were built on concrete from
three to five feet deep, excelling the
best automobile drives.
Commuters nourished in the suburbs
of the cities.
Surgical instruments were in use
similar to those wjiieh a certain Amer
ican physician invented, not having
hoard of the ancient instrument.
Ephesus had a library unequalled by
any Carnegie has erected.
There were seventy trades unions in
Rome and many disputes on wages.
One ancient tpicure gave n dinner at
which the fish course cost $40 a plate.
Another spent $35,000 for roses. An
other $200,00(1 for rugs.
Dr. Cobern asserted St. Paul had
bowlegs and was married. Dr. Cobern
also asserted his belief in evolution.
“The church,” he said, “ought not to
be expected to believe literally in the
story of man’s creation by a surgical
operation from the rib of man. Adam
means humanity, not simply a single
man."
Strong aud Well as Ever.
Fred Smith, 325 Main St., Green Bay.
Wis.. says: "1 suffered a long time
with a very weak back. Foley Kidney
Pills quickly relieved tne of all soreness
and pain and 1 now am strong and well
as ever." Winter aggravates symp
toms of kidnev trouble; cold weather
makes aching j tints, sore muscles and
irregular bladder action more unbear
able. Foley Kidney Pills help the kid
neys eliminate pain-causing poisons.

"What were you and Mr. Smith talk
ing about in the parlor?" demanded
Miss Blushes’ mother.
"Oh, we were discussing our kith and
kin,” replied the young lady.
"Yeth you wath,” interposed her lit
tle brother who was standing near
“Mr. Thimth asked you for a kith and
you thais ‘You kin.’ ”
It’s r,ot until he begins peddling horse
radish from dour to door that a man is
willing to acknowledge that he is a
financial failure.
The difference between ignorance
and innocence in a woman is that one
or the other is genuine.

Palmyra, Pa.—“My little girl had a
chronic cough and was so thin you could

Nothing we gave her seemed to help her,
until one day Mrs. Neibert asked me to

Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle
acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic
effect, on the womanly constitution.
Cardui makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to make pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
