REMARKABLE RECITL Daughter Says The Unexpected Happened And Tols of Won derful Change Brought About How Tanlac had driven away all signs of pellagra. which her raother had so badiv that the bones of her hands showed through the sores, and how the same medicine had given her great relief for the different troubles, was described in a very remarkable en dorsement of Tanlac, given by MNr. Belle Hopper, of No 9 Drayton Ate., Drayton, S. C.. a suburb of Spartan burg. "I suffared from headaches and felt very badly," declare'l Mrs. Hopper, in her statement. "My system was in a badly run down condition and I was very weak Taolac had helped my mother so much that I decided to take it, and the Tanlac gave me a great ap petite and I began to want to work all the time, though I had been too weak to work. The medicine got me in good shape in every way. My mother, whose home is at Chec nee, S. C , sutfored from a very b.td case of pellagra and she had been in bed for two years before she begau tak ing Tanlac and she had been almost helpless for a year or two before she had to stay in bed all the time. Her system was in a very much ruu down condition, and her hands and face and feet were a solid mass of sores. She had no appetite at all and she h ul lost a lot of weight. "Really, my mother was in a terrible condition. The doctors told her she had the worst case they ever say, and the bones of her hands showed through the sores. She haa taken a lot of med icine-almost every kind of tonic sh ever heard of and had several doctors but she says Tanlac did her more good than all of the other medicines she took. '-The Tanlac really cave my mother wonderful relief. The -sores left her and have not come back, though be fore she took Tanlac we thought she would never get over this disease. She was in an rwful conditio:2, really, but she looks like another woman now and it is all due to Tanlac. "She has a good appetite now and has gained a lot of weight. She gain ed three pounds on the first bottle We have never seen anything like it It is hard to believe any medicine could do as much, but Tanlac sure did give her the most wonderful relief. "I am glad to recommend Taalac be cause it just broke up the case of pel lagra my mother had-at least., th sores were driven away and have not come back - and because it proved ii my case a rema:kably good medicine. M v mother has not a single sympton of pellagra now. so far as 1 can tell." "Tanlac," the Master Medicine, is exclusively sold in Manning by .the Dickson Drug Store; in Summerton by D. 0.

The parcel post has made its useful iess felt in many ways, unexpected as well as foreseen. But the English par ,el pest does one surprising thing that has not yet been introduced into our S awn system. C An Englishman wished to reach a customer living in a remote part of Balham, one of the suburbs of London, and it was very necessary that he find y him quickly. Knowing nothing of the n district, he called at the general post office at St. Martins-le-Grand to con suit a directory. On explaining his u case to a clerk he was amazed to d learn that he could be sent to the ad dress by parcel post by paying a fee of six cents a mile. The gentleman had never heard of such a thing, and it is said that very few persons in England know that it V can be done. He was placed in charge of a messenger who was familiar with all parts of the city, and was soon on his way. The boy carried a printed slip on which was written a descrip tion of the "parcel" in charge, under the heading, "Article required to be delivered," and before leaving the cus tomer's house both the customer and the gentleman had to put their signa tures on the paper. The limit in weight for anything delivered by par cel post in England is generally under stood to be eleven pounds, but there S is one clause that reads: "A person may be conducted by express messen ger to any address on payment of the mileage fee."-Youth's Companion. STOP MARCH FOR DEVOTIONS Soldiers Halted to Light Candles at Wayside Shrine in Stricken Coun try of Montenegro. War is not all horror and death, as the following little story illustrates: On Christm'as eve as a division of Hungarian Honveds marching through the Tara district in Montenegro was descending the serpentine road lead ing down steeply from the mountains the first regiment passed by a little wayside shrine of the Virgin and child. Two men stepped suddenly out of the ranks lighted two small candles and placed them before the ( images. Many others followed their examples and the number grew to probably a 1,000 altogether. It was dusk and E the spectacle of the tiny flames flick ering clear in the still wintry air was I a dramatic spectacle to behold. So numerous were the gray worship ers that as the space immediately around the shrine gave out hundreds of Honveds dug their tapers into the ground around it. The whole snow-covered meadow on which the shrine stood had been con verted into a mass of flickering flames. Silently the men stood, send ing their Christmas prayers to the "Christkind." Then the snow and the dark and the slush of the road once more swal lowed up the long column of the Black mountain's - invaders. - New York Sun. New Bullet Extractor. An ingenious instrumnent has been invented to aid surgeons in extracting bullets fromn wounds. The bullet is lo cated by means of X-rays and a pair of forceps. A very powerful pair of for ceps is necessary to grip and extract a bullet, and a great deal of .damage might be done if something that was not seen, perhaps an artery or a nerve, was picked up along with the bullet. Accordingly, the blades of the forceps are attached to an electric bell which only rings when both the blades are touching the bullet. Therefore,.if the bell is made to ring while the blades are being opened to grasp the bullet, and ifthe bell continues to ring when1 the bullet is seized, nothing else can1 have been picked up beside the bullet, and there is no danger in pulling It The surgeon using this instrument can therefore not only see what lhe is doing, but, by means of the bell, lheI has a very accurate sense of touch for any piece of metal that he is watching the points of his forceps attempting to pick up from among the structures deep down below the skin. - Egg Not Good "Pudding." One egg misplaced caused more than the average amount of trouble for a young schoolboy who happened to find It while the teacher had the pupils out for a walk in the woods. The boy found the egg, was proud of having found it, and put it in his hip pocket. In the course of the afternoon, how ever, he strolled too far from the other children, and the teacher spent a long time hunting him. When she found him the punishment was to paddle But how was the teacher -to know about the egg? She did not. The egg broke, the boy cried and the teacher laughed. A second cry followed the boy's first one, though, for his mother inflicted more severe punishment than the teacher attempted, because his clot13es were solled.--Indianapolis News. Prudent Silence. "D you intend to take any steps to contradict the people who misrep resent you?' "No," replied Senator Sorghum. "When you contradict something you run the risk of bringing thle matter to the attention of a whole lot of people who never would have heard about it If you kept still."
