WIFE SAYS HUSBAND
WAS ABOUT TO GIVE
UP HIS BUSINESS
Local Woman Says Her Hus
band Had Been in Bad Health
For 4 Year3—She Also Suf
fered For a Yoar—Health Re
stored By Tanlac.
'‘l got no bad off I coition t do tiny
housework at all and had to stay in
bed the greater port of the time, but
after taking ray first bottle of Tanlac,
I was relieved of all my suffering and
I can now do any amount of work,"
said Mrs. James G. Vaulos, 1412 Glover
street, wife of the well-known dry
cleaning man, while talking to the
Tanlac representative at Howard’s
Brug Store, a few days ago.
"For over a year," continued Mrs.
Faulos, “I had steadily been going
down hill and up until 1 started taking
Tanlac I was in wretched health. My
back was my worse trouble and it
would hurt me 30 bud at times the pain
would be almost unbearable and espe
cially around my kidneys. It’s an actual
fact; I couldn’t stoop over at times, the
pain would be so great. I dreaded to
see night come for sleep was simply
out of the question. I would .fust toss'
and tumble ail night long and get up in
the morning and start my suffering
over again.
"My husband had suffered for four
year* with stomach trouble and indi
gestion and he would be in such misery
some days be would have to stay home.
It was almost impossible for him to eat
anything and Ijfe became almost a
burden to him on account of his bad
health. At one time he thought he
would have to give up his business for
ho was In awfully poor health.
“Wo had been reading a good deal
about Tanlac and I made up my mind
we should take some of it and the re
sults have been surprisingly wonder
ful. We have taken six bottles to
gether and my husband is like a dif
ferent man. His stomach never bothers
him now and he can eat Just anything
he wants and everything agrees with
him splendidly. He has gained in
weight and can work without any trou
ble whatsoever. He sleeps ever-so
well and it’s the first time in four
years he has really been in good
health.
"The medicine worked on me like a
charm, I never have that wretched
feeling any more and my back doesn’t
hurt me in the slightest. I sleep like
a child now and wake up in the morn
ing feeling Just dandy. I have a good
appetite and everything agrees with
me. I think Tanlac is the grandest
medicine in the world for it certainly
has made my husband and myself feel
like new people.”
Tanlac is sold in Augusta exclusively
by Howard's Drug Stores.—Adv.
EDITORIAL INCIDENCE
AND REFLECTION.
By Theo. H. Price.
A Locomotive Fireman's Hours.
We don't know anything about the
writer of the subjoined letter which is
clipped from The Sun but we print it
to show that there are two sides to
a much discussed question. We rath
er think that the well fed men who sit
in parlor cars and become apoplectic
over the "menace of the labor unions”
would change their views if for just
half an hour they had to fire the lo
comotive that is pulling them. We
wish they could all read Philip Gilbert
Hamerton’s classic book on “Human
Intercourse.” It was written long be
fore trade unions had any political
power but in the chapter fin "Confus
ions” it deals with one’s inability to
appreciate another’s feelings in a way
that reveals the cause of most mis
understandings and teaches a lesson
that would prevent many quarrels if
it were heeded. But we are forget
ting the letter that led us to remem
ber Hamerton’s book. Here It is:
I have been reading your editorial
articles on the threatened railroad
railroad strike. Why is it that most
of them blame the employes? I am
the wife of a locomotive fireman and
I know what kind of a life they have
about as well as any one.
It is not more money that is the
main thing they are fighting for, but
shorter hours. Do you think 2. r i to 30
cents an hour is such a very high rate
of wages for a man who stands and
shovels tons of coal and rakes and
fixes up raging fires, tends to steam,
watrhes signals and tries not to make
black smoke, especlaly on some of
those very warm days we have had?
My husband has come home fairly
fainting many a night. He leaves the
house every morning at 5 o’clock and
gets home any time from 7 to 11
o'clock at night. He has worked all
summer every Sunday and asked to be
relieved last Sunday, the first one all
summer, and was refused.
Tell me what other employment has
such hours day in and day out, Sun
days, holidays, every day Just the
same? Most lines of employment give

EGIHT HOURS FOR MINE MULES,
Is the day’s work in the Colorado Fuel
and Irin Company's mines. Mules are
well treated in these mines and any
employe who is found abusing an ani
mal is liable to discharge. Under the
old regime a mule’s life in a mine was
a bad Insurance risk. Many were beat
en to death by workers who only
wanted to run up their duy's pay. The
animals went for hours without food
or water. Many were run over by the
cars they hauled on down grades be
cause the drivers refused to put suf
ficient braking on the wheels.
Now there is a special hospital for
mine mules at the plant. Veterinary
surgeons are at hand to dress up any
injuries and the mule has every
chance to get well. The company keeps
a reserve of 10 per cent of its mules
on hand so that any injuries or sick
ness will not tie up the force.
Mine mules are particularly faithful
animals In helping man to bring out
the treasures of the earth. Many of
them live for years without seeing
daylight. They are fed and quartered
under ground, passing their seven ages
of life in one continuous night lighted
only by the flaring lamp of the miner
or the electric lamp of the passage
way. They have been displaced In
some mines by the electric locomotive
but probably will be used in many
mines for years to come.

Calomel is poison—it’s mercury—it attacks the

DORA AND THE DWARF.
Little Dora had a hard time. Her
mother was dead, her sister, who was
selfish and lazy, made her do all the
work and sleep In the garret. The
father went away so early in the morn
ing that he knew nothing about what
went on at home, so poor Dora had
to keep her sorrows to herself.
"I am going to a party tonight,
Dora,” said the sister one cold eve
ning after supper. "You set the bread
to rise for breakfast, bring the water
and till the wood box, then milk and
keep up the fire.”
Then Sadie, for that was the girl’s
name, put on her best clothes and
went out banging the door behind her.

She brought the wood, milked the row,
swept the room clean and then started
to the spring for wuter. When Hhe
reaehed It, she *mw a dw.'irf struggling
to get hie elouk from a thorn bush, on
which It had blown.
Dora gently undid the garment and
gave It to the dwurf. "I will mend
It for you," she said kindly.
"All right,” refilled the dwarf
"Hang It on the chair by the fire and
I will come for It at midnight.” With
the coat on her arm and the bucket
of water on her head, Dora wont home
and finished the rest of her tasks,
■nien, seated by the fire, she sewed
up the torn coat so neatly that the rip
hardly showed at all.
It grew late. The wind blew and
the sounds of people passing the road
were stilled. Hanging the coat on a
chair, Dora threw more wood on the
fire, then curled up on n cot for a nap.
I’,ut before she got to sleep she heard
the creak of an opening door. Pre
tending she was snoring, she lay still,
looking out of her half-closed eyes.
In came the dwarf. Ho saw the
nearly mended coat and the girl watch
ing him from the cot. Ihittlng the
coat on. ho walked over to the window
and stood looking out Into the night,
then he began to sing:
Under the white stone down at the
spring
T.les a treasure golden of a ruby ring,
Wear It If your heart he true;
It will good luck bring.
If your heart he wicked
You will feel the sting.
Kissing his hand to Drrn, the dwarf
opened the door and disappeared In
the woods.

kled a great ruby aH big as a pigeon’s
egg. She put it on her hand and went
home to got breakfast. Strange to
say, now everything seemed easy. It
was as If a dozen fairy hands aided
hor in her work. The fire burned
brightly, the eggs seemed to whip
themselves, the cakes were fine and
everything went on beautiful^.
When the sister saw the ruby she
wanted to take It, but Dora for once
refused. But she told Sadie how she
got it.
“That’s easy,” laughed the older girl.
"I can turn up a stone as well us
you.”
So off she ran to the spring, where
she saw the dwarf drinking.
"Get out of my way, you lazy little
fellow," she said. "1 urn In a hurry."
So she pushed the dwarf, who fell
tumbling to the ground. Without tak
ing any notice of him, she kicked over
the stone and instead of a ring being
there, a hlg, ugly toad leaped up at
her. Frightened, she ran screaming,
while the dwarf broke out into a laugh.
She stumbled and fell, then lay still
crying with pain. Presently Dora,
missing her sister, came to search and
found her 111 with a deep cut In her
leg.
Dora gently helped Sadie home, put
her on the eot, brought her a cup of
hot milk and bathed the wounded leg.
This kindness made the older girl
ashamed of her long months of mean
conduct.
The leg got well and Sadie was a
different girl. Dora found that the
ring brought her every kind of good
fortune. Her father became a fore-
