ING TANLAC IMPROVEMENT WONDERFUL Could Not Evan Koop Cold Water On Hor Stomach At Cm? Time? Strong And Hearty Now. Though she declared that her condition at one time was so bad that she could not keep even cold water on her stomach, Mrs. J. G. Johnson, of 687 North Church St., Spartanburg, decided. Tanlac made such a rapid improvement in her condition that it got her out of bed and enabled her to do light housework in three days. Mrs Johnson's remarkable statement and endorsement of Tanlac follows: "I had catarrhal fever and what I think was a slight case of the grippe. * 1 was very much sick at my stomach tfld I vomited so much I could not keep even cold water on my stomach, much less my food. I had dizzy, fainty spells a lot, too. I had become so weak and sick that I had to stay in bed. I stayed in bed three weeks and could not even sit up, and I was under treatment all the time, but I did not seem to be getting any relief, except that nausea ws helped. I did not gain any strength at all, W though, and finally lost heart in that way of trying to regain my health, and I threw away all medicines and began taking Tanlac. "A friend whose husband had been helped ever so much by it kept after ^ me until I began taking this medicine, and she certainly did me a great kindness by doing so ,too. "My relief by using Tanlac was as follows: I was able to be up and going to the table and eating a regular meal and doing light housework in three days, and in a week I dis charged the cook and began doing my housework myself. I was able to go to church in five days after I started taking Tanlac. The Tanlac gave me back my appetite right at the start, and soon drove away that nausea that I then had at times, and I could just feel myself getting stronger right along. "I never have known any medicine that would make a sick person get well so quickly?especially one who was as sick as I was. I just took two bottles and I am feeling fine now and am still getting stronger and heartier, even if it has been a month since I took the last dose of Tanlac. I am a great deal stronger now than I was before I got sick, and I am in far better health than I have been in a year or so. The Tanlac sure did make me well quickly. It was wonderful. "Tanlac is due all the praise for Wr getting me well, too, and I certainly do praise Tanlac." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by The Chesterfield Drug Co., ChesI terfield, S. C.; T. E.

Smoked dogfish may be a hew dell* HB cacy on the up-to-the-minute menu In |H the future. If Uncle Sam's designs are carried out. Experiments In smoking various species of fresh-water ttsh, beB gun at the Fairport (Mich.) station of the United States bureau <>f fisheries about two years ago, have yielded lnterestlng results. The bowfln, or RrlnBB ' die, which usually Is regarded as prucB tlcally worthless, has been lound to yield a very superior product when smoked. All who have eaten samples have spoken of the axcellent ^Bp? texture and flavor of the meat, and some have pronounced It the best of 1 smoked fish, Uncle Sam asserts. Further experiments are being made with a view of obtaining a product which will appeal to the trade In appearance and quality. The bowfln fs generally known through the Mississippi basin as dogfish, and has beep regarded as practically worthless. It Is abundant In the Great Lakes and In sluggish waters from Minnesota and New York to FloriJi^aad Texas. The proper utilisation , ap?cles will not only add anJ otner commercial product to the market, but also will tend to reduce the I relative abundance of a species which la most predacious upon the other fishes that are more highly valued In the fresh state, iv i i Wl I ASHCRAFTS I Condition Powders ^B A high-class remedy for horses B find mules in poor condition and HL. in need of a tonic.

Unci* 8am'i Expert* Undertake Big Tack of Eliminating Plant From the National Forest*. Uncle Sam's forest service, In line t with Its general policy to better the conditions of the national forest ranges, Is now undertaking the eradication of various poisonous plants which each year. It Is stated, cause the loss of some $300,000 worth of live stock using the ranges as pasture. Forest rangers and others have made an Investigation of this condition, and It has been ascertained that, while other plants are known to poison live stock, larkspur Is the one which Is responsible for the greatest losses of Cflttlo on mniintiiln ~ consequently the one plant which the service Is determined It must dispose of In some way or other. Thlj? plant occurs, It hns been found, both scattered plants and in patches, varying In size up to as much as 100 acres. The bulk of the losses from cattle are confined to those areas where the plant Is more plentiful and where, therefore, it is possible for the cattle to obtain larger quantities of It. In an effort to conquer this evil many of .the ranges containing the largest patches of larkspur have been fenced by the stockmen, but this ir d is not only expensive, but it a1' usually Involves the loss of a large quantity of valuable forage which is Included In the Infested range. It has been known, it Is said, In a general wny for years that larkspur Is poisonous to live stock, but there has been, up to recently, very little definite knowledge on the subject. Therefore, it was necessary to carry out a number of experiments to find out what effect the plant had on varl ous Kinds or animals; whether all the arietles of the plant are poisonous, and last, whether the cases of poisoning are caused by the eating of the roots of the plant, or eating the leaves and stalks. Extended experiments have been conducted along these lines which have shown that some animals are poisoned by the plant, while others are not. With the results of these experiments the forest service has been able to make Its plans for handling the ranges on which the larkspur occurs and for the eradication of the plant. It was found that the most satisfactory method of solving the larkspur problem would be to grub up the plants by the roots. Considering the wide areas that must be covered, thlu sounds like a man-sized Job, and It is; but the results which have been obtained, It Is said, hove proved that the expense Involved has been more than Justified.

CORROBORATION Of Interest to Chesterfield Readers. For months Chesterfield citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by residents of this locality. I Would these prominent people re- ' commend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Chesterfield reader: W. A. McCormac, Dillon, S. C., says: "I suffered from backache almost constantly. The kidney secretions were discolored and filled with sediment. Nothing gave me relief until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They stopped the backache, strengthened my kidneys and cleared up the kidney secretions." (Statement given March 6th, 1908). Over Six Years Later, Mr. McCormac said: "I still take Doan's Kidney Pills accasionally when my back aches or I have any other signs of kidney trouble and they never fail to relieve me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy? get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. McCormac has twice publicly recommended. Foster - Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Facial disk not circular as in our other owls; plumage above, pale yellow; beneath, varying from silky white to pale bright tawny. Range: Resident In Mexico, In the southern United States, and north to New York, Ohio, Nobraaka, and Call- I fomla. < Habits and economic status: The 1 barn owl, often called monkey-faced i owl, is one of the most beneficial of ] the birds of prey, since ' feeds almost 1 exclusively on small mammals that < Injure farm produce, nursery, and orchard stock. It hunts principally in t the open and consequently secures ( auch mammals as pocket gophers, < field mice, common rats, house mice, i harvest mice, kangaroo rats, and cot- t ton rats. It occasionally captures a i few birds and insects. At least a half \ bushel of the remains of pocket go- ] phers have boon found In the nesting i cavity of a pair of these birds. Remembering that a gopher has been known in a short time to girdle seven apricot trees worth $100 it Is bard to overestimate the value of the service of a pair of barn owls. One thousand two hundred and forty-seven pellets of the barn owl collected from the Smithsonian towers contained 3,100 skulls, of which 3,004, or 97 per cent, were mammals; 92, or 3 per cent, of birds; and 4 were of frogs. The bulk consisted of 1,987 field mlco, 656 bouse mice, and 210 common rats. The birds eaten were mainly sparrows and blackbirds. This valuable owl should be rigidly protected throughout the entire range.

QUARANTINE IS MAINTAINED Ban Are Put Up Against Infested Cotton From Egypt, Diseased Potatoes! T ?? OU...W. ? ?, .??, ? uua ana Other Plant*. Although It may seem ridiculous to spend thousands of dollurs unnuully to prevent one little moth egg thut could puss through the eyo of a cambric needle from entering the country, Uncle Sam Is employing the machinery of the department of agriculture, state, treasury and post oflice to keep out that little pest, the pink cotton bollworm. The same agencies are united to exclude by quarantine diseased potatoes, trees, shrubs and plants, and In so doing are accomplishing fur more thun one would think toward holding down the cost of living. , The "general staff" which conducts j the defense ngulnst plant disease Is known us the federul horticultural board and is composed of five high ofllclals of appropriate bureaus of the department of agriculture. All along the fertile valley of the Nile, where the luxuriant Egyptlun cotton grows, planters are more worried over the ruinous work of the pink bollworm in their cotton fields than they are over the greater devastation of the uuropeun war. The pink boll-worm was taken to Egypt from India, where Its wretched family billions are still leaving their baleful Impress. While the annual yield of American Sen Island cotton, the best In the world, Is by no means enough to make all the spool cotton, automobile tires and other textiles requiring a grade better than that of ordinary upland cotton, It Is somewhat surprising to learn that 300,000 bales of Egyptian cotton contaminated by the pink boll-worm are Imported with impunity to the United States. Every Bale Disinfected. This wus made possible by a system of fumigation originated by the l>oard and worked out on a commercial scale by Its experts, by which every bale Is disinfected before distribution. The cotton?a couple of hundred bales at a time?is placed In a great horizontal cylinder of heavy structural steel, hermetically sealed and then the ixlr Is pumped out until there If almost a vacuum within. Hydrocyanic acid gas is then admitted, and although the bales are compressed before shipment I until they are almost as hard as blocks of wood, It penetrates the cotton so that all animal life, Including bollivorms In every stage, becomes extinct In less than an hour and the cotton can be sent without possibility of spreadlug Infection to uny mill for munufucture. There are only fiour of these fumigating tanks In the country, one at ^ach of the four ports of entry for cotton?New York, Newark, N. J.; Boston ind San Frunclsco. Althomrh nrlvnlolw nnomin/i ? v|/?iuicu, mcau tanks are under the closest of government Inspection. The bales must je left In the receiving chambers a certain time; the poisonous gas must je of a positive strength; the appllinces und chemicals tested und every precaution must be taken to evacuate :lie gas without risk of life to the men iperatlng the plant. One shipment of tho Infested cotton leed?and it Is believed to be the only )ne?is known to have entered this :ountry, and that was before the quarlntlne was established. This lot was :aken to Arizona, where a state quartntlne was In force; the infestation vus detected and the wholo lot burned, [t Is believed that the pink pest has tot succeeded In running the blockade. Guard Potato Crop. One of the most pressing matters low under the board's attention Is the >verslght of potatoes coming Into the rountry to make up the CO.OOO.OOOlushel shortage in the Americun crop. Nuturully, our Canadlun neighbor visiles to share In the high prices, und lis crop Is wunted here; but the bourd luys: "No diseased stock may be mtered." Accordingly, this working plan has ieen ugreed upon between the two countries; Canada may send potatoes 'ree from injurious disease and Insert jests to ports of entry deslgnuted by ;hls country. On arrival the tubers ire examined by federal Inspectors, and f found to be Infected ure returned to the consignors ut their expense. Potatoes are coming Into the country In iUCh quantities thai. although In the maia they are ull dit, carloads are ?ent back almost every duy. Another thing which the board Is lighting Is the Importation of any lursery stock which carries the white [>lne blister rust, a tree disease deitructlve of both ornamental and forest pines. Cotton seed, except from some parts If Mexico; the seed of alligator pears from Mexico and Central America, llvng canes of sugar, all citrus nursery itock, all Indian corn or maize from >riental countries and some less Important plant products may not be Imported at all, because each Is likely to ?arry some disease which thus far has lot broken out In our native plants.

STOCK OF POTATOES SHORT Unci* 8am Find* That Supply oh Hand for Market la Far Below That of Previous Years. Supplies of potatoes on hnnd January 1, 1917, for market In 19 Important northern potato-growing states, were estimated by Uncle Sam's bureau of crop estlmutes to bo about 44 per cent smaller than a year ago, 65 per cent smaller than two years ago, and 54 per cent smaller than the average holdings on January 1 of the preceding five years. If, for tho .purpose of comparison, the estimates yn percentages of marketable ste'eks of potatoes on hnnd Junuarv4 be applied to the estimates of total production, It shows, In the Upstates Included (which produced 61 j^er cent of the total 1916 crop, and 00 per cent of the 1915 crop), a total of 59,038,000 bushels on Jnnunrv 1. 1017. compared with 100,225,000 a year ago, | 169,554,000 two years ago, and 129,941,000 bushels the average holdings of the preceding five years on January 1.

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says thisCincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied derectly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so ^ it can be lifted out, root and all, with- ^ out pain. A small bottle of Freezone costs verylittle at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irri- 3 tate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any free- ^ zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time. 1-Adv. ^ f|" ' ;[ ."Subscribe Now To South Oarollna'a j' Greatest Newspaper The Columbia Record's " n a m mm. - | bargain Period Kates | Now In Effect ; | Daily&Sunday $4.00 18 Month* | Dafly Only - $3.00 12 Month* Save $2.00 by Send- > ing in Your SubV scriptionNow You should keep In constant touoh with all the Important I new* events of the world.
