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.

have been conducted honorably,
efficiently, and economically, re

the profit is only a fraction of a

any noticeable effect on prices.

My anto, 'tis of thee,

I blew a pile of dough
On you two years ago,
And now you quite refuse to go,
or won't or can't.
Through town and countryside,
You wore my Joy and pride;
Ah, happy days,
Iloved thy gaudy hue,
, Thy nice white tires so new.
Hut now you're down and out for true
j In every way.
j To thee, old rattle-hox, ',
Came many bumps and knocks;
For thee grieve.
Uadly thy top is torn,

the whooping-cough affects thy horn,

Thy perfume, swells the breeze.
While good folks choke and Bneeze,
As we pass by.
I paid for thee a price
"Twould buy a mansion twice,
Now. everybody's yelling "ice"
1 wonder why?
iThy motor has the grip,
Thy spark plug has the pip
And woe is thine ;
I, too have suffered chills,
AUo and kindred ills,
Kndeavoring to pay my bille
Since thou wert mine.
Gone Is my hank roll now,
No more 'twould choke a cow
As once before.
Yet if I had the mon,
So help me, John amen,
I would buy myself a car again,
And speed some more.

'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

"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

"The Germans," said Representa

Warning to the country that the
Influenza epidemic is by no means
ended, and that all possible precau
tions against the disease should.be
taken has just been issued by the pub
lie health authorities at Washington.
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.
