BEFORE SHE STARTED TAK.
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."

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

BROWN CREEPER I
(Garth hi fmn-'Jaria aroericana)
Length, Ave and one-half inches.
Range: Breeds from Nebraska, In- '
dlana, North Carolina (mountains), |
and Massachusetts north to southern
Canada, also in the mountains of the
western United States, north to
Alaska, south to Nicaragua; winters
over most of its range.
Habits and economic status: Rare- .
ly indeed is the creeper seen at rest. |
It appears to spend its'life in an incessant
scramble over the trunks and 1
branches of trees, from which it gets i
all its food. It is protectively colored
so as to be practically Invisible to its
enemies and, though delicately built, I
possesses amazingly strong claws and
feet. Its tiny eyes are sharp enough
to detect Insects so small that moat 1
other species pass them by, and alto-1
gether the creeper Alls a unique place
in the ranks of our Insect destroyers.
The food consists of minute insects 1
and insects' eggs, also cocoons of <
tlneld moths, small wasps, ants, and
bugs, especially scales and plant lice, I
with some small caterpillars. As the ]
creeper remains In tbe United States
throughout the year, it naturally se-1
cures hibernating Insects and Insects' !
eggs, as well as spiders and spiders'
eggs missed by the summer birds. On
its hill of fare we And no product ot
husbandry nor any useful insects.
j BARN OWL I.
I (Aluco pratincole) '
Length, about seventeen Inches.
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.

UmKLCOMEPLANT
ARRIVALS BARRED
Uncle Sam Spends Thousands of
Dollars to Keep Out One
Little Moth Egg.
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 ?

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

Supplies of potatoes on hnnd January

of crop estlmutes to bo about 44
per cent smaller than a year ago, 65

59,038,000 bushels on Jnnunrv 1. 1017.

Awful Thought.
Favorite foods that mother URod to
make were the topic of conversation at
the boarding house table. After numerous
Interchanges came a lull. Then
n callow youth whom bashfulness usually

bombshell: _
"D-d-d-dld any of you ever eat sauerkraut
with whipped cream on It?"
YES I LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
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. ^
