HAS NOMORE NEED
FOR WALKING MNE
Retired Merchant Kept Going
Down Hill for Six Long
Years He Declares.
GAINS FIFTEEN POUNDS
Nothing Ever Helped Him Until Ho
Started Taking Tanlac—Declares
His Health Has Been
Restored.
William Ludwig, a retired merchant
and prominent citizen of Port Arthur,
Texas, made the following statement
recently.
•‘For six years I had suffered from
Indigestion and painful disordered kid¬
neys and fell off until I was little
more than a skeleton. I had no appe¬
tite and what little I did eat felt like
a lump of lead in my stomach. I was
so bloated tip that I could hardly get
my breath and I couldn’t button my
clothes. My kidneys disturbed me so
I could scarcely sleep at all. I was
so weak I had to walk .with a stick
and I couldn't go up the steps at all.
I had a nervous cough, my limbs ached
and I hurt all over.
"I bought Tanlac because I was a
sick man and now I’m praising it be¬
cause it has restored my health. I
have gained fifteen pounds in weight,
can eat anything I want and sleep as
well as I ever could. My cough has
disappeared, the gas has stopped
forming on my stomach and my kid¬
neys are in good shape. Nothing both¬
ers me now and I have no more use
for my walking stick. I have taken
many different kinds of medicine and
have been coming to San Antonio
every year for my health, hut nothing
seemed to do me much good until I
took Tanlac.”

UNCLE JOE'S TRUE VERSION
Veteran Congressman Retells Green
Corn Story Which He Declares
Is Thirty Years Old.
‘‘Uncle Joe,” said n new member of
Hie house of Representative Cannon of
Illinois, ‘‘I heard a good story about
you and green corn.”
“Great guns, man, that story is
thirty years old,” said Mr. Cannon.
“Weil. I am a new congressman and
I fell for it.”
“If you are going to tejl it again,”
went on Mr. Cannon, “let me tell it
to you right. I have seen more ver¬
sions of it than there are silk threads
in a corn tassel. It’s true, all right.
"It happened at the old Willard ho¬
tel when it used 1 o be run on the
American plan, with three meals a
day. 1 am a light eater, but I am pow¬
erfully fond of green corn. One day
I had a neighbor on from Danville,
who took dinner with me. I had
three orders of green corn.
“ ‘.Toe,’ says he to me, ‘how much
board do yon pay at ibis tavern?’ I
told him. He looked at the stack of
corncobs, ruminated a moment, and
then remarked: ‘Don’t you think it
would be cheaper for you to board at
a livery stable?’ ”
Something Lacking.
For the first time Louis was hearing
the cherry tree-and-liatchet story. It
was very dramatically related by a
patriotic aunt, but Louis was not so
deeply impressed as he might have
been. When the climax was reached
and George Washington said, “I can¬
not tell a lie,” Loins displayed his first
glimmer of enthusiasm.
“Couldn’t he?” be asked. “What was
the matter with him?”—Philadelphia

“There’s a Reason"
THE CLEVELAND COURIER. CLEVELAND. GEORGIA
Officials of Food Administration
Give Advice.
Unusual Facilities for Financing Stor¬
age Have Been Arranged and a
Comprehensive Plan of Action
Is Recommended.
Washington.—Officials of the food
administration gave out the following
statement concerning the steadying of
potato prices, especially important just
now:
Unusual facilities for financing stor¬
age are offered American potato grow¬
ers ns a result of war conditions. The
federal reserve system is at their dis¬
posal, and farmers who store their 1917
potato crop in approved local ware¬
houses. may obtain, upon their storage
receipts, 90-day loans from member
banks of the reserve system at a rate
not to exceed 6 per cent. Mr. Lou I).
Sweet, potato expert with the food ad¬
ministration, was instrumental In
bringing this matter to the reserve
board’s attention.
New England growers hare started
a movement to take advantage of this
ruling to help them solve Ihoir market¬
ing problem. The prospect which the
growers of this group of states face
is that of handling 45,000,000 bushels
of potatoes—one-tenth of the entire
United States crop—without causing
an overstocked market and ihe result¬
ing loss of all profit on the crop.
The growers communicated with lo¬
cal authorities in their respective
states, who in turn laid the situation
before the food administration. A con¬
ference between the growers, local au¬
thorities and experts from the food
administration was held recently at
Boston. Mass. A plan of action was
mapped out at this meeting which in¬
cludes the following:
1. Marketing of only one-third of the
crop at harvest time; another third in
90 days, or placing in storage and later
distributed as demand affords oppor¬
tunity; the remaining third to he
stored by the grower and marketed
throughout the year.
2. All potatoes to be graded with
care, taking out culls, cuts, cracks and
any that arc bruised. It was recom¬
mended that a wire screen grader be
used—one and seven-eighths-inch mesh
for oblong tubers and two-inch mesh
for round ones. Graded stock then to
be placed in good two-bushel sacks-—
one hundred and fifteen pounds to the
sack—and the sacks sewed tightly so
as to prevent shucking and bruising.
3. Increasing the load in each rail¬
road car from the normal 30,000
pounds. That these ears can be un¬
loaded within 24 to 30 hours of their
arrival at destination.
4. That municipalities and other
bodies provide storage for as large
quantities as possible at the peak of
the harvest.
“A storage house,” said Lou D.
Sweet, who attended this meeting,
“such as will conform to the require¬
ments laid down by the Federal Reserve
board, does not call for a specially con¬
structed house. There are innumer¬
able buildings, which, if properly
cleaned, ventilation provided, and man¬
aged so as to maintain a temperature
of about 35 degrees, will answer ad¬
mirably for this purpose.
“This year the United States planted
its potato crop from the poorest qual¬
ity of seed that ever went into the
ground, and naturally the harvest will
be potatoes of poor quality. Strict
grading, careful packing, common
sense storage, and careful shipping are
necessary to insure just returns to the
growers who have responded to the
president’s call for increased produc¬
tion of potatoes.”
SHE HAD WAYWARD DAUGHTER
Neighbor Was Surprised When She
Found Cause of Severe Rebuke
Administered by Mother.
A lady living in a large apartment
house relates the following:
“I had occasion one day to visit the
apartment of a neighbor. Such grave
and earnest tones of remonstrance
reached my ears, as I approached my
friend's room, that I hesitated about
intruding. I found her winsome young
daughter with her, and the mother had
evidently been rebuking her, for the
girl’s face was flushed, and there were
tears in her eyes.
“Gome in.” said my friend. "I have
finished what I was saying to Jenny,
and T hope she will remember my
wishes.”
“Ah. these children — these chil¬
dren thought I to myself. How way¬
ward they are. even gentle things like
Jenny, and how tremendous are a par
ent’s responsibilities!
“I have just been telling her,” con
tinned my friend, “that she musf not
wear her evening gloves when she goes
shopping in the morning, in the first
place, it is not genteel; and In the
second place, it is extravagant.”
Her evening gloves! And yet, I as
sure you. her tone and expression, and
the impression made on the child,
would have befitted a serious wrong
doing—one that had issues in time
and eternity.
A Dilemma.
“I couldn't get out of marrying her.
When she proposed she said : ‘Will you
marry me? Have you any objection?’
Ton see, whether I said ‘Yps’ or ‘No,’
she had me.”
“Why didn't you just keep silent
then?”
“I did and she said. ‘Silence gives
consent,’ and that ended it.”
