Cantelou in De cember. The Surplus be Large. When we remember that our pop ulation has had a marvelous growth in recent years and that manufac turing and transportation have a large number of farra laborers we need not wonder that the war has contributed its intiuence so soon for higher prices of foods. Our urban population has grown rapidly and at thc expense of rural communities. According to statistics about two-thirds of our people lived in the country 50 years ago and one third in cities and towns. Now there are almost two-thirds of the people in cities and towns and but about-one-third on farms producing food for the people. This means that whereas one family on the farm half century ago produced a very small surplus now one family must produce surplus sufficient to feed two families in cities and towns. It is said the farmer's obli gation now is nearly four times what it was 50 years ago. How will it be with farmers at the close of the war? No one can answer that question for no one knows when the war will end or the condition of the people when peace is made. But it does not seem that the demand for food will be much less at least for many years after peace is declared. One thing we should remember, that is farmers now have the greatest opportunity of any other people. Farm and Ranch believes they will make good use of their opportunities. While they may have temptations to re taliate for the manner in which speculators and unfair middlemen have treated them Farm and Ranch expects that farmers will be just, honorable and fair as the majority of them have always been.-Farm and Ranch.

In Atlanta, Sunday morning, Billy Sunda} preached on ''The Home" and paid his respects to the various members of the family from the busy fathers and fashionable idle mothers to the wine drinking young women and disobedient boys. His remarks on the modern neglect of home life are sadly true, and worth considering: We are neglecting the home life today for the club, for the lodge, for the literary, for so ciety, and a thousand one thinprs, sir. Fit yourself to be the in tellectual companion of your children. The learning at the school and college will soon fade from their minds, but what they learn at your knee will stick after they have to hobble on the crutches cf decrepitude. There are mighty few things more important than conver sation. Oh! the good you can do with your tongues or the evil and pain you can give. A lov ing conversation is a great panacea. Many homes have none. No affectionate greeting when they return from school and the store, no regretful good bye when they go away, no fire side chatter. M^als are eaten in silence and the old man never speaks unless he grunts for somebody to pass him the grub and you'd think you were in a deaf and dumb asylum. The perpetual scolding, don't, don't, DON'T. A child should never be told that they were to be seen and not heard. Of all sentences that crawled out of hell, I think that is the rotten est. Forget it! This picture drawn by the evangel ist is true of many homes, which are little more than sleeping and eating houses for members of the family. Meals are eaten in a hurry to "catch the car" and get back to work for some, and to fill engagements for others, and little time is given to pleasant conversation. As a result, the art of conversation is being lost in large measure, and the happiness of home life is sacrificed in the daily grind of earning a living, or the quest of pleasure everywhere else but at the family fireside. Bjlly Sunday's indictment is both true and timely.-Augusta Chronicle. Head of Great Firm Doubles His Work. GARLICK AMONG NEW YORK ERS DOING GREAT THINGS WAS !"ALL RUN DOWN." WIDELY KNOWN BUSINESS MAX TELLS STORY THAT WILL ENC O U R AG K II D S I) REDS. In the list of the men of New York who have done big things is that name of Morris Garlick. This man is Secretary of the Down Town Taxpayers' Association of Brooklyn, representing $10,000,000 in realty holding* aloi e in the heart of the great business district. He was largely responsible for Brooklyn's noted Flatbush exten sion, the great ^traffic artery from the new Manhattan Bridge. He is bead of M. Garlick & Company of 181 Gold Street. Prominent in the real uplift work of the world's greatest city, he hold3 the deep respect of thousands with whom he comes in contact in busi ness, political, church and fraternal affairs. Since boyhood, and for 45 years, he has labored. He is now 57 years old. It is only natural that, with all his activities, the strain should begin to tell. "Maybe I have overworked," said Mr. Garlick, "but, at any rate, I began to suffer from broken rest, loss of appetite, failure to assimilate the nourishment I needed, and nerv ousness," he explained. ' It is what the average man calls all run down,' and there are a lot of us in every city. I felt as if I needed something to build me up-some thing that would bring back the strength I was losing; something that would help take away the wor ries, give me a real appetite, tone up my stomach and whole system and quiet my nerves. Through friends I heard of a new medicine, Tanlac, aad decided that if it could help others it ought to help me, too, so I tried Tanlac. And now he continued-for work is his big thought in life-"I can do twice as much work as I could before. My nerves are cjuiet, I rest well, I enjoy meals because my stomach digests my food, I am stronger and feel wonderfully better." When men like Morris Garlick endorse a medicine, ther? can be no further proof asked. He felt it was his duty to tell of Tanlac to help others. No other medicine ever has won such ?upport. Because Tanlac is the reconstructive, system purifier and stomach tonic, supreme for weak, nervous ailing men and women who need more strength, better digestion and revitalization of the nervous system, it re ceives endorsements like this.
