The commencement of the high school began with the recital of the music class on Friday evening and this was in every way a most de-1 lightful affair and the choruses,] piano, sextettes, du ?ts and quar tettes, and other numbers of the : program received hearty applause. Prof. John Waters is director and this large class in his charge has done excellent work as was evidenc ed on this occasion.

'HOT AIR WILL PUT UP A BALLOON, BUT IT WONT KEEP IT UP," SAYS A NOTED ADVERTISER. TANLAC'S RECORD SUPREME. Should Value Be Lacking, The General Public Long Ago Would Have Lost Faith in Tanlac. This ia an age of advertising, and everyone is familiar with the popu lar saying, "lt pays to advertise." i Advertising is a business force. ! So potent is the charm cast hy its I spell it has been known to perform 1 marvelous feats and to accomplish I phenominal results. [ It cannot be truly said however, that everyone who advertises suc ceeds for unless full value underlays the article advertised the advertising would ultimately fall of its own weight. In this connection we mus! not forget the words of the immor tal Lincoln who said: "You can fool some of the people all the time, you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool al! ,of the people all of the time" so if there is not behind every adver tisement a dollars and a cents value to the article advertised, no amount of advertising will stimulate the sale on such an article beyond a certain point. This applies to every line of business and the mod ern business man or firm can uni}' succeed through honest advertising atfd fair dealing. One of the most successful adver tisers in Amerca to-day is L. T. ? Cooper, the manufacturer of the 1 new medicine, Tanlac. On one oc casion Mr. Cooper said: "Hot air ' will put a balloon up, but it won't ( keep it there." When I offered I Tanlac to the world something over I a year ago, I did so with the firm 1 conviction that I was offering to the * people the best and purest product < of its kind on the American market < today and I did not hesitate to ex- t pend vast sums for advertising be cause I knew the more the people ? knew about it the more they would ? buy it. i The success of the preparation ' was immediate, and the people everywhere were quick to recognize, its genuine merit and wonderful curative powers. I never. claimed claimed Tanlac to be a "cure all" or that it would perform unheard of wonders but I sta*ed facts. I stated them in a straightforward and business-like way and in a man ner that has commanded confi dence in the conservative bairns set forth. Underlying these claims has been real value not from a dollars an d', cents point alone, but from health as well. The phenomenal success ihe preparation has now achieved is familiar to everyone. No matter where you go Tanlac is a household! word. It has brought a new ro mance to the modern business world. It is a story of an acceptance and appreciation of merit, never before obtained by a proprietary medicine. Conservative business men, to whom the actual figures of the production of Tanlac have been presented, have scouted them until the proof was shown. The production of Tanlac now stands at the rate of almost 5,000, U?U bottles per year, or to be more correct 4,800,000. The sale of 2.000,000 bottles during thc- first nine months probably exceeded any record ever before made by a pro prietary medicine. Through the Atlanta office alone approximately 400,000 bottles have been sold and distributed since De cember 1st, and the South alone uow requires over 2,000,000 bottles per year. These enormous sales mean but one thing and that is merit. One bottle is sold in a neighborhood through advertising, but ten more are sold after the first bottle pro duces results. Pebplo are always willing to tell about ailments, but they are more than willing to tell Dthers of any medicine that helps mein. It is something they, can't ceep to themselves, because the im mise to sympathise with fellow lufferers and want to help them is me of the strongest as well as one )f t^e biggest things n h imau na-* . nure.
