NOW BE TO BE
FOR FIRbT TIME IN
FOORTEEN YEARS
“I am 70 years old and hadn’t been
able to strike a lick of work for over
1-1 years until I got to taking this
Tanlac medicine,” said Mr. H. W.
Miller, at Jacobs’ Pharmacy, Sat
urday.
“Fourteen years ago I had a terrible
spell of typhoid fever, and since that
time I hadn’t been able to use my right
arm to do any good. It felt weak and
numb and I had no strength in it,
but I didnt' get Tanlac for this trou
ble. as I had no idea I would ever be
able to use it again.
“I bought it for kidney trouble, rheu
matism and pains in my back. Well,
it relieved me of these troubles al
right, but strange to say it helped my
,arm, too. Yes, sfr, it has actually made
my arm so much better that I can now
do a lot of work—something I hadn’t
been able to do in all these years. 1
don't know how to account for it, but
that’s what actually happened, and
al! my neighbors who have known me
for years will tell you the same
thing.
“Going back to my other trouble, 1
suffered a great deal from my back and
joints and was so nervous all the time
1 couldn’t sleep much.- Sometimes I
would get so nervous and strung-up
that the least noise would almost maky
me jump out of bed before I could con
trol myself.
“My stomach was all out of shape,
too, and I couldn’t eat to do any good.
Nothing seemed to taste right, and I
got so finally I would have vomiting
spells after trying to eat. To tell you
the truth, I was in a mighty bad fix
and was just getting weaker and
weaker all the time. I don’t feel that
way now, and after taking only three
bottles of this Tanlac, I have gained
13 pounds in weight, besides my stom
ach feels just like I had had a new one
put in, and I eat and sleep just like
a school boy. The rheumatic pains are
all gone, and I am feeling better and
stronger in every way.
“It helped my wife, too. She is
now on her second bottle, and it is do
ing her more good? than anything she
has tried in years. She was in al
most as bad a fix as I was and it has
relieved her of ailments she has had
ioi a long time. Both of us think
there is nothing too good to say about
Tanlac, and I can understand why ev
erybody is talking about it.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
in all principal cities of the South.
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ameri •
cus by Allen’s Drug & Seed Store; in
Leslie by L-eslie Drug Company, and
in Plains, Ga., by Plains Pharmacy,
and in Sumter, Ga., by Persons Merc.

European War Has Favorably
Affected Conditions in Korea
SEOUL, Korea, Jan. 24—The Euro
pean war has so far favorably affect
ed the industry and commerce of Ko
rea, according to Mr. Komatzu, com
missioner of foreign affairs for the
government general. It is true, Mr.
Komatzu pointed out, that the foreign
trade in graphite, soya beans, cot
ton and some other articles, was dis
advantageously influenced at the out
set of the war, but this tendency has
changed much for the better. The
I export in cereals, ox-hides, live cat
i tie and other articles has had an ac
tive demand, especially from Russia,
which has also placed large orders for
boots and ammunition pouches with
Korean companies.
The total figures for .exports during
the year ending July, 1915, stand about
42 million yen, or $21,000,000| This
shows an increase of 5 1-2 million yen
as compared with figures for the pre
ceding and corresponding periods. As
for imports, prices in wheat flour,
matches, drugs and medicines and a
few other articles rose somewhat at
the beginning of the war but fell af
terwards to the usual standard. Some
fluctuation in the prices have since
been experienced, but it appears that
this cannot be charged necessarily to
the war. The total figures for im
ports during the twelve months above
mentioned were about 65 million yen,
which shows a decrease of 16 million
from th epreceeding year. This means
that the .excess of imports over ex
perts has decreased by about 19 mil
lion yen during the period, as against
the preceding year.
Mr. Komatzu said that difficulty was
experienced in manufactures to some
extent owing to the scarcity of chem
icals, but this seems to have been
overcome at present. Among other
things, tobacco has found a new mar
ket in China and there is a good pros
pect in store for tobacco manufac
ture in Korea. He emphasized that
transportation by sea has been affect
ed by the war only to a very slight
degree, and that even new lines of
regular service have been opened be
tween diffrent ports of Kora and
Vladivostock, ports in Shantung pro
vince and other places.
There is one thing, however, which
is causing a great deal of inconven
ience to the extensive mining industry
in Korea and that is the scarcity of
dynamite. This is interfering serious
ly with the engineering and minig
work. Before the outbreak of the
war the greater part of the explos
ives used Jn Korea was imported from
Glasgow, but the quantity imported
has steadily decreased until at the end
of last month it ceased altogether, nl
Japan proper dynamite is manufac
tured by military authorities, but on
account of large orders for Russia it
is text to impossible to buy the ex
plosive either from the government
factories or private concerns.
In vie wof the danger that the sup
ply of dynamite will be completely cut
off and all engineering work stopped
efforts are being made to buy explos
ives in Japan, regardless of price, and
at the same time orderfe have been
placed in the United States. The
American consignments are expected
to arrive in Korea by February.

Licenses For
Marriage Free
Like Water
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 24. —A surpris
ing condition relating to the unre
stricted! issuance of marriage licenses
in Atlanta has beSn brought to light,
which, it is believed, may indirectly
account for the excessive number of
divorces applied for in the local courts.
It is stated that practically any
oody in Atlanta can get a marriage li
cense to marry anybody else, simply
by applying for it. The ordinary only
asks two questions: “Is the girl over
eighteen,” and "Is she a resident of
the county?”
Both of these questions can be an
swered untruthfully, and often are. No
in vsetigation is made, and no one is
the wiser. Further inquiry is outside
the provisions of the law. It is not
the fault ow the officials, it is said, but
of the law on the subject.
It has been said within the past
few days that more divorce cases are
now tried annually in Atlanta than at
Reno. Six times a year Fulton county

Superior court devotes itself to the
hearing of divorce petitions. The
number is between 120 and 150 each
time, or over 700 divorce hearings a
year.
Under the Georgia law mental an
guish, mere nothings “cruelty” that is
simply foolish misunderstandings, are
all grounds for annulling marriage.
BOARD OF TRADE TO
MOO DECATUR
BAINBRIDGE, Ga., Jan. 24.—The
Bainbridge and Decatur Board of
Trade will move from its present quar
ters in the city hall to a larger office
in the Callahan block. The move will
be made next week, as soon as certain
changes can be made in the new of
fice.
This will give the booster organiza
tion a downstairs office on one of the
principal business streets of the city.
The Retail Merchants’ association,
the Tri-State Fair association and the
Boosters’ club will also have offices in

THE PINK LADY
The international musical comedy
de luxe, “The Pink Lady,” will be at
the Opera House, Jan. 25th.
This is the only engagement of the
biggest musical hit of the decade in
this vicinity. That it will be appre
ciated is already evidenced by the
mail orders.
“The Pink Lady” comes here with
an established reputation and it is
promised that it will live up to every
expectation. The piece, after a brief
try-out en tour, was originally pre
sented in New York, and ran at the
New Amsterdam Theatre there for 400
performances without a break, and la
ter was presented at the Globe Thea
tre, London, where our foreign cous
ins’ .enthusiasm was marked.
Its record bespeaks a wonderful
vogue for “The Pink Lady,” and when
you, see it the reasons are apparent.
It is the happiest combination of book
and music yet devised for stage enter
tainment of the light opera sort, and
to this has been added a production
which, for breadth, class and harmony
is a standard work, within its happj’
limitations.
The book and lyrics are by C. M. S.
McLellan, who adapted them from the
French farce, “Le Satrye,” by Georges
Bcrr and Marcel Guillemaud. Ivan
Caryll composed the accompanying
score. In this he reached the acme of
popularity with his tuneful and catchy
“My Beautiful Lady” waltz, which has
served to establish the fame of the
piece. But in all there are 18 othe*
numbers and each is a delight of its
kind. A large company will be seen
in the production, including th.e “Pink
of Perfection” chorus.
GOVERNOR HARRIS
ISJJEARS DID
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 24. —Governor
Nathaniel E. Harris celebrated his
seventieth birthday Friday and was
the recipient of numerous congrat
ulatory tedegrams, birthday cards,
and personal greetings from callers
who droppeed in to shake bands and
wish him many more years of health
and happiness.
When asked how he felt on his
seventieth birthday, Governor Harris
said:
"I don’t feel a day over forty-five or
fifty years old. My health hasn’t been
better in a long time, and the many
kind expressions from friends have
made me quite exurbant.”
Asked to what he attributed his
good health Governor Harris laugh
ingly replied:
“To 1 the fact that I am a prohibit
ionist —I suppose I shgould have said
to teh fact that I have always been
temperate in both eating and drink
ing, and have made it a rule to get
plenty of refreshing sleep.
“I have never used whisky or to
bacco. When I, as a young man, was
about to march away to the war my
mother exacted a promise from me
that while I was in the army I would
not drink, swear or play cards. I kept
this promise throughout the war, and
have done so since.
‘“The most difficult part o fthis
promise for me to keep was that re
lating to playing cards. Card playing
was the principal pastime of the sol
diers in camp and in tahe treniches.
for days at a time they had nothing
to do and they amused theemselves by
piaying cards. I was often tempted
to take a hand, but every time I
thought of doing so I remembered mv
promise to my mother and before me
would come a cision of an imploring
face.”

AFTER SICKNESS
How U> Recover Strength. .
So many Americus people are asking
how to recover their strength after
sickness that we are publishing this
information for their benefit.
After grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia or
any illness what you need is new
strength and richer blood.
The most certain way to get this
is by taking Vinol, our delicious cod
liver and iron preparation (without
oil). It creates strength, improves
the blood, sharpens the appetite and
restores the entire system to a heal
thy, robust condition.
North Adams, Mass. —“After a long
illness of pneumonia I was left in a
weakened, delicate condition and for
a long time had searched for a body
builder and strength-creator. I was
attracted by an advertisement of Vi
nol, and tried a bottle, and soon no
ticed a vast improvement. I continued
its use for a while, and am now as
able bodied and strong as any man in
town.” Samuel Wood, North Adams,
Mass.
Try a bottle of Vinol. Your money
will be returned if it does not restore
your vitality and strength. Hooks’
