The contribution of the United States to a pooling of war resources was agreed upon.

HELPED HE IN EVERY WAY I NEEDED AID. SAYS TANI^AO. PROVED A GOOD STOMACH REMEDY. BROUGHT GREAT CHANGE. "In Short Timo Tonino Und Mo Feel ing So Much Rotter," She Says. "Tanlac proved to be a good sto mach remedy and tonic for me, and lt helped me In every way I needed relief," declared Mrs. J. J. Worthey, of 68 Railroad streot, Arkwright, Spattanburg, In a statement she gave June 7. "I was troubled a great deal with Indigestion and my whole system was run down badly. My uppetite was bad and I was both ered awfully with nervousness and headaches When I had one of these bad nervous headaches, I could not rest at night. "The Tan lac quieted and strength ened my nerves, though, and I soon was eating heartily. The indigestion soon left me, those headaches were relieved, and In a short time I was feeling a great deal better in every way."

Miller passed to her reward. She was a faithful and active member of Return Baptist church. She was sick for only a short time, lt was my privilege to be her pastor for about a year, and I can confidently say that she still lives In many hearts as a monument of strength and a bea con light for Christ., Her home was one full of sunshine because of her gentle and sweet disposition. She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn her departure; but they need not mourn, for her soul ls resting in the blest "haven of rest." The record of her life stands as a great monument of God's redeeming love. So we can only say with the majestic hymn: "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I will not, desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should en deavor to shake, - I'll never, no never, no never\ for sake." -Her Pastor. Miss Anna .Vissage Dead. On December 16, about 6 o'clock in the .norning, the spirit of Miss Anna Vissage took Its flight. Anna had been In declining health for some months. About three months ago she went to a hospital in Atlan ta for treatment, undergoing an ope ration which gave some relief, but no material ho neil t. She was Indeed a patient sufferer, a kind and loving daughter, a tender sister, a" loyal friend, and a devoted Christian. In her early years she united with the Methodist church, and her life had since been one of consecration jmd service. The pearly snow which waa broken to inter her body, was a beautiful emblem of the soul which had winged its way back to God. "God moves In a mysterious way His wonders to perform," and while wo cannot understand why Ho should remove one so useful hero, we know Ile had need of her above. She has gone to meet a father, gone before. She loaves an Invalid mother, a helpless aunt, five sisters, Misses Dora, Selina, L?eona, Florence, and Mrs. Ida Rochester, ?of near Cashier's, N. C., and two brothers, R. L. and J. D. Vissage, besides num erous other relatives and many friends to mourn her death. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor. Rev. W. T.
