CHIEF ENGINEER GAINS 40 POUNDS 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. ♦- Timely Hint on Over Eating. Christmas, New Year's and other feast days cause many disturbed diges tions. The stomach and bowels should not he permitted to remain clogged up. for indigestion and constipation are often followed by serious disease, re sulting from undigested poisonous waste matter. Foley Cathartic Tablets should be in every home, ready for use. No griping; no unpleasant after-effect. Relieve distress after eating, regulate bowels, sweeten stomach and tone up the liver J. F. Lee Drug Co. 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. Young.—Adv. 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 was an invalid due to stomach trouble. 1 took three bottles of these tablets and have since been in the best of health.” Obtainable everywhere. 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 “ Maternity!

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.

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."

"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. MRS. SLACK’S LETTER To Mothers of Delicate Children Palmyra, Pa.—“My little girl had a chronic cough and was so thin you could count her ribs and she had no appetite. Nothing we gave her seemed to help her, until one day Mrs. Neibert asked me to try Vinol, and now she is hungry all the time, her cough is gone, she is stouter and has a more healthy color. I wish every mother who has a delicate child would try Vinol. "—Mrs. Alfred Slack. We guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, to make delicate children healthy and strong. JOHN R. CATES DRUG CO.. Newnan. Ga. COULD SCARCELY WALK ABOUT And For Three Summer* Mrs. Vin cent Was Unable to Attend to Any of Her Housework. Pleasant Hill, N. C—“I suffered for Ihree summers,” writes Mrs. Walter Vincent, of this town, “and the third and last time, was my worst. I had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, ainking spells would come on me, 1 would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when 1 finally decided to try Cardui. the woman’s tonic, and I firmly WE SELL THE BEST GLASS TRADE THE MAJESTIC RANGE believe I would have died if I hadn’t taken it.
