Southern Seed Demand t.Ml Louisville, Ky. The mild weather experienced during December iacill- jtated shipments of various products, and also had the effect of gingering ,up the movement of seed tiotatoes from here which opened up this week O. A. Schaefer, who, ns usual, is ac tive in the deal, says that his concern has heavy supplies which are being loaded out in straight and mixed cars. Cobblers are the principal va riety and are finding a good demand. Triumphs, of which there is a com 'paratlvely good supply, are also be ing moved In quantities. Advices Indicate that planting will be as usual in most southern com mercial shipping districts, and new sections are to be developed. Teace news checked the Inquiry along this line, particularly from those who ex pected extremely low prices, but late ly the demand has been better and a normal acreage is expected.

It reminds me of the German waiter who was ordered to bring a bottle of Medoe to the man he was serving. He brought a bottle but Instead of the Medoe, It was labled Chabertin.

'Twas a zoology class at a Saint Monica primary school. They had just been studying the rhinocerous, and had been enthusing over his wonderful armored hide. "And what is this?" asked the teacher, turning to the picture of a giraffe. "Well, Johnny, tell us." In answer eagerly raised hand You can tell by Its scope." e "There was a good deal of baseball played in London last summer, and the doughboys often took English girls to see the games." said Earl Dun more at a Washington reception. "I heard of a doughboy who said to girl as they entered the ball grounds to gether: 'If there's anything you want explained tell me. I guess a lot of things seem meaningless to you.' 'Everything seems meaningless,' said the girl, 'and some things seem Idiotic.' 'What seems idiotic?' asked the doughboy. 'Well said the girl 'why do jou call th seats the stands? . "The Germans," said Representa tive Tinkbam of Massachusetts, "still talk solemnly to one another about their defensive war which the tllles thrust upon them.

Late reports show the disease is breaking out anew in its very worst form from practically one end of the country to the other. Already there have been over 300,000 deaths from the disease and one prominent helth official predicts that there will possib ly be 750,000 deaths in this country next year from Influenza and the ail ments which follow it, The disease has been very baffling to the medical profession and health authorities frankly admit that ordinary preven tive measures such as wearing of masks and closing public places seems of little avail. Tersons who are weak and run down, and w ho have not the strength to throw off the Influenza germ, are the earliest victims. Those who cuicn colds easly or who are suffering from catarrhal troubles are also early vic tims as the Influenza mucus mem brane linings of the nose and throat are an open door to the germs. If you are suffering from any of these symp toms, nothing will build you up and fortify your system against attack like Tanlac, which containesx the most powerful tonic properties known to science. This statement is easily proven by the fact that this celebrated medicine is now having the greatest sale of any system tonic in the history of medicine It has been accomplishing remarkable results dur ing the present epidemic and hun dreds of thousands who have used it are enjoying the best of health. One prominent physician In Texas frank ly stated that he had found Tanlac to be the finest tonic to be had for build ing up hte patients who had had Influenza. Actual experience has shown that the best way to keep from taking In fluenza is to keep the system in good Shape as it is a well known fact that the powers of resistence of the human system can be so perfected that it can throw off almost any Infection, not even excepting Spanish Influenza, which is one of the most contageous diseases known. Tanlac increases your strength and weight and creates a good healthy appetite for nourshing food. It keeps you physically fit and makes you strong, vigorous and well, and 'n this way fortifies you against deadly disease terms. In connection with the Tanlac treatment, be sure to keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxa tive Tablets.
