THURSDAY. APR.20. 1916. Message of Easter. Easter again proclaims its message to the world. Nature lends her enchantment to the day, and makes all things bright with her unfolding promise of the resurrection. The wooded hills, the mystic canyons, the flowered meadows, the home-building birds, the sparkling dewdrops on grass and flowers awaki xi :? ? en, unuer me warming raj? ?.?i wic rising sun, intu a world beautiful, made sweeter by the presence of Him who is risen from the dead. And man, looking up from his work, rejoices. In city and country; in art-domed cathedral and isolated church; in mansion and cabin is sung in harmonious cadence, sometimes soft and low, and, then again, in accelerated movement, the glad tidings of Eastertide, with its message of the day and to.the day's toilers, "Christ is risen!" So man must ever seek to rise superior to the destructive forces around him. He must measure up to his ideal if he would escape the mrnnrpKf Kv flip flniYII ucufttciucui niuu^uv wj ??v ? nance of his lower self. In no other way can he expect to live the ideal life. Hiq inspiration and ideal are found in Christ. His entrance as an amateur into the Christian life is \ but indicative of his growth into that of an'artist. And in this progressive cumulative ascendancy he is conscious of the leadership of One, who, by one decisive stroke of matchless power, in the resurrection from the death, proved his Sonship, authority, superiority and divinity.

PUBLIC WORKS HERE AT LEAST EXPENSE. f RECORDS KEPT SHOW DODGE BROTHid ERS MACHINES DO MILES AT >p TWO CENTS FLAT. The report of the department of ts public works on the individual mainle tenance cost of 37 automobiles operle ated by the department shows the id Dodge Brothers motor car operated le by Mr John Dunn was the most economically driven car in the department. The statistics include )V every expense incurred by the cars >n from July 1, 1915, to December 1, id 1915, gasoline, oil, repair cost, tire a- expense, etc, and show that Mr i, Dunn's car was operated at the low cost of exactly two cents per mile. The five Dodge Brothers cars :h used in the department also are n- given several records wnicn place ?r them at the top of the low mainteth nance records. Not one of the 37 le used in the department was run for le the six months at a lower cost per mile than any one of the five Dodge Brothers cars. They also showed il- the highest mileage, the lowest exst pense on tires and the greatest milest age per gallon of gasoline of any r. touring car in the departmept. e- Three of the Dodge cars were t- operated for the six months without any expense on tires. On the other two cars of this make the only tire a expense was for the replacement of w spare tires which were stolen from iV the machine. r, The report shows many interestN ing comparisons of the maintenance i- cost of automobiles which range in cost from two cents a mile for the Dodge Brothers car to 27 cents a a- mile for one of the heavy duty 9, trucks. ;s "Such figures are interesting to U mrttAi- Aurnofs onrl fn nrnano/?. ,(J uiv/wv/i vhi vniiwio uiiu w |/4 vu^vv a tive buyers of motor cars," said 0, Thomas J Doyle, local distributor ie for Dodge Brothers cars.

RECOMMENDS TANLAC Declares He Feels 11 His Duty ti Praise Medicine Which Helped Him So Much. "Tanlac has certainly helped 1111 and I recommend it to others foi what it has done in my case," saic Hon C W Mangum, Sheriff of Fulton county, of Atlanta, Ga. Sheriff Mangum needs no introduction to the people of this section, as he is unquestionably not onlj one of the best known but one ol the most popular officials in the State of Georgia. He is also knowc to be, by everyone, a kind, genial gentleman of the old school and has the reputation of l>eing the biggesl hearted man in public life today, His friends are legion?and his extreme popularity as a man and as a I -u! ... u. puunc oinciui is miuiui aticsicu uj the fact that he is now serving his third term as Sheriff of Fultor county. For some years he was a railroad official, but has been in public life since 11)07. He served in the Confederate army from 1862 to I860 in the first Georgia regiment, and latei in the fifth Georgia. ' "Yes," continued the Sheriff ' 'your medicine has done me lots o: good and I have personally recom mended it to a great many people I know of at least 15 or 20 families who have bought it on my say so. "I am seventy years okl and hav< most always been pretty strong anc healthy until here lately. I hav< been in a nervous, worn out, rur down condition. My stomach was upset most of the time and I digest ed my food poorly. Most always after eating I would have a full, uncomfortable feeling that would last for several hours. . "After taking the second bottle of Tanlac the fullness and all the disagreeable symptoms disappeared and my condition is now that of ? well man. I now eat heartily without any bad after effects and I sleej well at night. "Tanlac seemed to l>e just what J needed to put my system in shape and it has toned me right up. Under the circumstances I think it per fectly naturaly for me to say a goot word for it and recommend it U my friends." Commenting 011 the above state ment, T W Galyon, State agent foi South Carolina, said: "It is rarely indeed, that men of prominence especially men holding high public office such ?es that lielu by Sherif Mangum, voluntarily express theii appreciation of the lienefits receivec from a medicine. Thousands o such convincing endersements, how ever, have come to Tanlac. "Among the large number o men in public life in the soutn wnc have recently given Tanlac their unqualified endorsement for specific aic to them are Hon McKenzie Moss, judge of the eighth Kentucky judicial district; Hon Moses R Glenn Kentucky State superintendent oi printing; John B Gaines, editor anc publisher of the Bow ling Green Dailj News; George W Hinton,former sec retary of the Warren county equitj league; Pres Pegg, of Newport business college, and others."
