They Come Forward and Unhesitat
ingly Tell Suffering Humanity What
Celebrated Medicine Has
Done for Them.
I T Is seldom, indeed, that men of prom
inence, especially men holding high
'public office, willingly express their in
debtedness publicly to a proprietary
medicine. Many prominent men. how
ever, including supreme court judges,
mayors of our leading cities, prominent
state and county officials, bankers, law
yers, doctors, editors, leading educa
tors, government officials and even min
isters of the Gospel have deemed it
their duty to come forward and tell
the people what Taulae has done for
them.
These well-known men of affairs
bave recognized in this medicine a new
discovery and a scientific triumph in
the medical world. It is u well-known
fact that these splendid indorsements
bave been given Tanlac time and time
«gain and they will continue to he
given just as often as new tests of its
powers are made; and it also explains
why numbers of the big drug firms of
the country are ordering it exclusively
in carload lots.

of the medical profession in the state

FORMER MAYOR FRANK V. EVANS,
OF BIRMINGHAM, ALA., MAKES
STRONG STATEMENT.
O NE of the latest additions to the
large and rapidly growing list of
prominent men who have publicly in
dorsed Tanlac for the good it has done
them, is the name of Hon. Frank V.
Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham.
Mr. Evans is one of the best known
men in public lift* in Alabama today,
being at one time editor of one of the
South's greatest newspapers, the Bir
mingham Age-llerald. He was also ex
aminer of public accounts of Alabama.
In telling of ihe benefits he had de
rived from Tanlac. Mr. Evans said:
"For years I suffered with gastritis
and Indigestion In the worst form. I
was habitually constipated and had
Pains in ray shoulders and headache
continually. My appetite left me al
most entirely and everything I would
cat hurt me. Finally I got to having
awful attacks of acute indigestion, pal
pitation of the heart and smothering
spells. For a long tim«* I would have
one or more of these spells every night
and I would wake out of my restless
sleep gasping for breath.
"I bought a bottle of Tanlac and to
my surprise and gratification I began
to feel relief after the first few doses.
I kept taking the medicine and now my
recovery is simply the talk of Birming
ham."
Tanlac lias done me more good than
anything I ever tried. I now wake up
in the mornings feeling fine.
"I'm telling all my friends about
Tanlac and tint recommending it to
them, regardless of their age and
trouble."
Dr. G. W. De LaPerriere, of Wiüder,
Ga., is not only one of the best known
physicians and druggists in the State
of Georgia, but is also a man of exten
sive property and wide influence, rank
ing as one of the leading citizens of
that entire section. He has been in
the drug business in Winder for 25
years.
Recently Dr. y De LaPerriere wrote ;
"Our people are much enthused over
the beneficial effects of Tanlac and I
desire to say that it Is the most won
derful seller I ever had in this store."
Other prominent men who have in
dorsed Tanlac are:
Professor Elmer Morris, of Dover,
Tenn.; Professor W. A. Wood, of the
Central Graded Schools, Winder, Ga. ;
C. C. Cooper, president of the Georgia
Home Cotton Oil Co., Lawrenceville,

City Man—My father did all those
things and died at sixty.
Peasant—Yes, but he didn't do them
long enough.— Fliegende Blaetter (Mu

Annual Flowerin'
Plants
By L. C. CORBETT
Horticulturist, Bureau of Plant Industry
U. S. Department of Agriculture
COBAEA SCANDENS
Cobaea scandons is a rapid-growing
climbing vine which is easily propa
gated from seed. The dark color and
refined character of its foliage, to-j
get her with its bell-shaped flowers,
render it a very satisfactory vine for
covering broad areas. It is a less ram- I
pant grower than the moonflower, hut j
furnishes quite as satisfactory a
screen made up of much fitter leaves.
The flowers are not conspicuous, be
cause of their modest colors and be
cause they tire hidden by tin* foliage.
Their form, however, is pleasftig and
they are open during the day.
For success in the climate of Wash
ington, D. C., seeds of the cobnea scan
dens should be sown about March 15
in a rich compost. When the young
seedlings have developed their first
true leaves, they should be transferred
to ihree-inoh pots or te» tomato cans
and kept growing slowly until danger
of frost is past. In the open a ricit
border should he provided, for as soon
as hot weather comes on the plants

grow very rapidly if ample food is at
their command. A rabbit-netting trel
lis or support is more satisfactory
than cords or smooth wire for this
plant, ns it fastens itself chiefly by
tendrils rather than by twining, as
does the morning-glory.
LOBELIA
The erinus varieties (lobelias) are
charming little plants that bloom very
quickly from the seed and continue
gay with flowers all through the sea
son. For beds, edgings, baskets, and
pots there is nothing prettier; their
clear colors and generous bloom make
them welcome anywhere.
The seeds may be sown outdoors In
early spring where the [»hints are to
grow. As the plants appear they
should be thinned moderately, or trans
planted several inches apart in rich,
open soil. Liquid manure given while
they are in bloom greatly improves
the flowers.. Many sorts are also good

habit. The perennial or tall varieties
are handsome, showy plants, found
quite effective for backgrounds and
grouping.
ASTER
The aster is certainly one of the
most satisfactory of the annual flower
ing plants. The great variety in its
size, color, form, and season of bloom
ing makes it a most satisfactory plant
for supplying cut flowers. In fact,
many of the Improved sorts produce
flowers equal In form and size to some
of the better sorts of chrysanthemums.
The range of color presented in this
group Is one of Its chief merits.
Strange as It may appear, the plunt
world Is not very well supplied with
blue flowers possessing characters
which render them suited to domestic
or commercial uses. In the aster, how
ever, are found many shades of blue
and purple and for this reason, if
for no other, the aster should prove
an attractive decorative plant. The
habit of growth adapts the aster not
only to close planting for cut bloom,
but some forms are robust, tall-grow
ing plants, well adapted for use in an
herbaceous border where late bloom
and careless effects are desired. The
more compact-growing, large-flowered
forms are most desirable for cut
blooms, while the tall-growing, open
types are most useful in wild gardens
or for screens. The wild aster (aster
novae-nngllae) Is one of the most beau
tiful and most satisfactory of this
latter class. The vigor and ease of
culture of the aster are factors which
contribute to Its popularity.
Plants from seed sown in the open
ground It» Muy bloom finely in Septem
ber and October, when the flowers
are seen at their best. For July and
August bloom, seeds should be sown In

The blooming period begins early and

well adapted to mixed borders and are
very satisfactory as cut flowers. The
stems are of good length, carry the
flowers well, and Keep fresh as cut
flowers for a long time when placed In
water.
The annual gaillardias are nil propa
gated readily from seeds sown in the
open, but earlier flowers will be se
cured by sowing seeds In a hotbed
and transplanting the plants to the
open as soon as killing frosts have
passed. In either case the blooming
plants should not stand closer than
10 or 12 inches. They grow and bloom
best when fully exposed to sun and
air, and when planted on a fertile
hut light and well-drained soil.
CALENDULA
or Pot Marigold.
The calendula or pot marigold is a
hardy annual about a foot high. A
moderately rich, light soil is most con
genial to these plants, which should
be placed about 8 or 10 inches apart,
if planted in mass or in borders. The
seed may he sown in the open ground
quite early In spring, and the plants
will be in bloom early in summer and
continue to bloom until late in the au
tumn. The coloring of the flowers

ranges through all shades of yellow
Ivory to deep orange. The plants
hlooin freely and earlier than the
marigold, and are useful In beds, bor
ders. or backgrounds. The dried flow
ers are sometimes used for flavoring
soups and stews. There are both sin
gle and double forms of the pot mari
gold. One of the most satisfactorj
methods of propagating this plant is
from seeds sown about April 1 in the
North in spent hotbeds or cold frames.
After the middle of May, In localities
north of Washington it will be safe
to transfer the young plants to theii
permanent summer quarters.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
Celestials Planned to Trip Up Foes,
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut Off Their Heads.
At the beginning of the Chlno-Japa
nese war, says a contributor to the
Washington Star, one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at a review and go through a
very curious performance.
The soldier carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and witli these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and making very queer gestures
and grimaces.
"What's the game?" asked the Amer
ican.
"That regiment." a Chinese general
answered, "is one of our very oldest.
It is now practicing a form of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
Idea is to trip the enemy up with tiie
long wand, throw water in his face
and, in the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to
cut off his head."—Youth's Compan

A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.
In our climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day. It is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and a few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent a severe ill
ness, a doctor's bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been a very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
throat or lung troubles. It induces a
good night's sleep with easy expec
toration in the morning. For sale by

Do You Neglect

The machinery of the body needs to

just ns the automobile, steam engine or

his own machinery more than that of

the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, if you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of
the May-apple, juice of the leaves of
aloes, root of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
