m SHERIFFS OF THE
SOUT H NOW C ONVINCED
Sheriff Mangum of Atlanta, Ga., Sheriff Anderson of
Houston, lex., Sheriff Lewis of Marion, Ark. and
Sheriff Kelley of Odessa,Tex., Come Out With Strong
Statementsand Tell What Tanlac Has Done for Them.
F 01 ^ lading Sheriffs of the South—in widely separated states—have
recently given their unqualified indorsements to Tanlac. The word
of men whose records for honesty and unrightness has won and held for
them the highest county office in the gift of the people of their own com
munities, cannot be doubted, for if there is any office that demands a
man of unimpeachable integrity, it is the office of Sherifi.
"Tanlac has certainly helped and
"Tanlac has certainly helped me and
I recommend it for the good it has
done in my case," said Hon. C. W.
Mangum, ex-sheriff of Fulton County,
Georgia, who resides in Atlanta and
who hus been one of the most popular
officials in the state, having served
three terms as sheriff. "I am seventy
years old," he continued, "and have
most always been n pretty healthy
man until here lately. I have been In
a nervous wornout, rundown condition.
Most always after eating I would have
a full uncomfortable feeling which
would last several hours.
"After taking the second bottle of
Tanlac the fullness and all the dis
agreeable symptoms disappeared and
my condition is now that of a well
man. Tanlac seemed to be just what
I needed to put my system in shape
and it as toned me right up. Natural
ly I would recommend it to my friends
and I know of fifteen or twenty fam
ilies that are taking it now on my
say-so."
Arkansas Official Testifies.
Hon. Chas. I. Lewis, ex-sheriff of
Crittenden County, a merchant and a
large plantation owner of Marion, Ar
kansas, said : "I am convinced from
the benefits that my wife and myself
and many of our friends have received
from Tanlac, that it is without an
equal. Mrs. Lewis suffered for ten
years. She couldn't digest anything
and gas forming in her stomach caused
severe pains and shortness of breath.
We both started taking Tanlac at the
same time and have had the most grati
fying results. Mrs. Lewis can now eat
and enjoy her food for the first time
In many a day. She is not nervous
and her sleep is sound and refresh
ing and she is like a different woman.
"I suffered with biliousness and
malaria and the two bottles of Tanlac
have fixed me up in fine shape."

An ancestor of Count von Bernstorff,

fought against America in our war for
freedom. The fact is brought out by
a passage in the "Souvenirs du Che
valier de Cussy." Among the acquain
tances made by the chevalier in 1820,
when he joined the staff of the French
embassy in Berlin, was the court
chamberlain, Count von Bernstorff,
grandfather of the former ambassa

in my case," said Hon. Archie It. An
derson, ex-sheriff of Harris County,
Texas, who was re-elected to this high
office seven times and served the peo
ple of his country for fifteen years as
sheriff. Mr. Anderson was chief of
police of the city of Houston, where
he resides, for several years, and there
is not a better known man in Harris
County.
"I was continually belching up un
digested food," he continued, "and I
would bloat and swell up like I was
poisoned and suffered from neuralgic
pains of the worst sort and nothing re
lieved me. I began to feel better after
taking the first bottle of Tanlac and
have just started on my third and feel
like a different man already. I sleep
like a log now and can eat any and
everything I want without the slight
est discomfort afterwards."
Texas Sheriff's Indorsement.
"I needed a general all around build

Tanlac has done that very thing for
me," said Hon. S. A. Kelley, sheriff of
Ector County, Texas, who resides at
Odessa, Texas, and who is one of the
most popular officials in that section of
the state. "I'm mighty glad now that
I took Tanlac, for I had been in a bad
ly rundown condition for several
months. I had no appetite and didn't
enjoy what I did eat and at times 1
suffered terribly with rheumatic pains.
My back ached all the time and my
liver was so sluggish and out of shape
that I had a dull headache continually.
"I have taken only two bottles, but
I feel like a different man already.
My appetite is fine and what I eat
gives me nourishment and strength.
The rheumatism is much better and
my liver is in good condition. I am
relieved of the headaches and feel more
active and energetic than I have in
months."

Matches Illuminated Town.
In a Midland town a number of
persons were fined for striking
matches in the streets on the
night of an air raid. The offense
may appear to be a trivial one on the
face of it, but it is really not so, says
a writer in Flight. In a recent series
of visibility tests with certain kinds of
light it was noted that on a dark night
the light of an ordinary match was
easily visible at a distance of a mile.
Hostile aircraft do not, as a rule, fly
at as low an altitude as a mile, and on
the basis of the test just noted the
striking of a single match would be
without import. But, according to
the evidence of a police superin
tendent, although the street lamps
were all extinguished during the raid,
there was almost as much light as
thougli they had been lit, owing to peo
ple striking.matches to light pipes and
cigarettes.

FLY TACKLE FOR BEGINNER.
My Dear Buck:
You want to get into the fly-casting
game, but you feel that the price of
an outfit is high. That all depends,
old man, on how you go about it. You
have heard so much about rods at $25
to $50 and so on. that it makes you
feel sick when you think of practicing
on such high priced tackle. Y'ou ex
pect to give the tackle some hard
knocks before you get the hang of the
sport and you see your bankroll with
a healthy case of shrinkage during the
operation.
For a starter there is no need of
going deeper into the mint for an out
fit than say $15 to $18 and if you do
feel like playing her a little higher.
$25 makes a limit, and at that you can
get a good serviceable outfit that will
take you through the season and give
you a working practice that will make
you a "stay-for-sure" fly-caster.
Select Rod With Care.
Of course every fellow wants as fine
an outfit as he can select after he's in
the game and has the rough edges
worn off. A rod for instance should
have the same consideration that one
gives to the selection of a shotgun
or rifle. It takes the same place in the
fishing kit that the gun does in the
hunting layout. A fellow pays a good
price for a gun, he selects the best
he can get and is mighty particular
about the drop—the bore and all de
tails, because he depends on his gun
to stand him well at the right mo
ment. Therefore as the rod holds the
same value to the fisherman, the care
in selection and the money put into
the rod covers a big vital point in the
outfit.
However, for a starter we can select
a well made and serviceable line of
tackle at a very moderate cost. Here
is an outfit, from which a selection
can be made at either end, as to
price, and it will cover tackle good
enough for any beginner. You can
buy the $5 rod or the $10 one or go
anywhere between, and you will get
good value as far as service goe3.
Outfit for the Beginner.
Fly rod of split bamboo or steel, $5
to $10.
Reel, single action, click. $1 to $5.
Enameled waterproof silk line, $1.50.
Half dozen 6 foot gut leaders, $1.25.
Two dozen artificial flie3, about
eight patterns, $3.
Fly book, $1.50.
Wicker creel or basket, $2.
Landing net (folding), $1.25.
Leader box, 25c.
In selecting your rod, make it a 9 to
9% foot in length, 5 ounce weight,
three piece with extra tip, snake guides,
German silver ferrules and solid metal
reel seat. The rod when together
should turn around in the hand with
exactly the same droop all around. It
should show an even curve without
lopping over to one side and have
plenty of action when you whip or
bend it.
The line should be enameled water
proof silk, level braided size E. Here
you can go a little deeper if you wish
and get a double tapered line, which
being lighter at the ends makes less
friction in going through the guides
and enables you to shoot out the line
for greater distance in your casts;
however a level braided line will an
swer the purpose.
The reel is not as important in fiy
casting as in bait-casting, as it is
merely used to store surplus line. The
featherweight, 60-yard size, weighing
3 ounces, makes a good all round reel,
while the automatics are coming into
use to a greater extent each season.
Flies You Swear By.
Whip a stream for a fov- hoars I rying
every fly in your kit without a rise,
when the fish are "off," and then pick
a fly at the windup when they happen
to he "on" and get. a well-filled creel
and you will play that fly clean across
the board, until the same thing hap
pens over again with another fly. One
well-known fisherman who carries in
his kit an assortment of about a dozen
flies, admits that in the past five years
he has seldom used other than three
flies and he ia some fisherman at that,
not the porch variety.
For the eight patterns to go with
the above outfit let it go at Coachman,
Professor, Queen of Waters, Cow
Dung, Brown Hackle, Silver Doctor,
McGlnty and Emerson Hough Buck
tail. This last named fly is a new one
to most, trout fisherman, hut it sure is
a killer. It Isn't a very fancy looking
cuss, just an ordinary sort of a fly
that don't shine up alongside of the
dainty looking feathery affairs, but to
those who have used it, it holds the
first place in their fly book, because
ft is certainly some creel filler.
With the above tackle, ?uck, you
can have many pleasant day3 on the
trout streams and feel that you are
learning a game that has added at
tractions every time you play it.

3N VALUE OF SAVING MONEY
Words of a Number of Famous Men
Regarding the Habit of Thrift
Are Recalled.
In days of prosperity, when there
is plenty of money in circulation, it is
well to consider the words of some fa
mous men regarding the value of sav

Here is what they say ou saving
money :

Importance of Bagdad.
The importance of Bagdad lies in
tin* fact that it is tin* key to what is
potentially perhaps the richest terri*
tory in the world, from an agricultin'al
standpoint. Ju-ff as tin* Nib* waters
the sands of Egypt and makes them
wonderfully productive, so the Tigris
and tin* Euphrates scatter their al
iuvial deposits over Mesopotamia and
fertilize the now almost uninhabited
plain. It was here that Babylonia at
tained a comparatively high degree of
civilization fully 4.000 years ago, long
before Greece and Rome were even
dreamed of. The fertilizing waters
were controlled by innumerable canals
and irrigating ditches and were re
sponsible for crops that supported a
population of millions. All this civili
zation disappeared under successive
Assyrian. Persian and Turkish inva
sions, but these did not diminish the
great possibilities of the soil under
proper cultivation. It is only neces
sary that the floods of tin* Tigris and
the Euphrates shall be properly con
trolled by dams and canals and the
land will again blossom like a rose.
How He Knew.
A certain country schoolteacher, in
endeavoring to explain to His class
what compressed air was, brought his
bicycle into the room and leaned it up
against the wall.
"Now," he remarked, "under the
outer covering of that back wheel there
is a hidden force. What is it?"
"Injy rubber'" said one smart youth.
"No ; try again."
The boy tried again, as did nearly ev
ery member of the class, but without
success.
At last one of the youngsters, who
had been making a close inspection of
the machine, turned on the teacher
with a beaming face.
"I have it !" he exclaimed. "It's
wind—Just wind !"
After commending the youngster, tiic
teacher asked how he discovered the
"hidden force."
"Why," was the astounding reply.
"I've just stuck my knife in to see!"

Dragon's Bones Found in China,
Tin* earth, under the probes of ex
plorers, is still yielding up prehistoric
secrets and strange revelations of past
ages.
In China, the bones cf what it is
thought to have been a species of
"dragon" have been unearthed. One
large specimen measured GO feet, and
near it were the fossilized remains of
a number of smaller ones. Interest in
this discovery was very widespread
nnd keen, as all trup Chinamen like to
say that they have "seen a dragon,"
even if only a fossil.
Getting the News.
"Why do you encourage that inces
sant talker, Mrs. Gaddy, to come
here?"
"Well, I save that much on subscrip

Strong Hint.
"Have you an extensive plant In
your town to interest an enterprising
stranger?"
"Yes, we have. There's the town
