SUFFERING OF A
LIFEM ENDED
“Words Can’t Express Gratitude
I Feel Toward Tanlac,”
Says Mrs. Burrington. ,
"From childhood until I got Tanlae,
I suffered from indigestion and stom

ton, 540 Stanford Ave., Los Angeles,
MRS. J. A. BURRINGTON
Lot Angelo, .Calif.
Calif., "and that’s been a long time,
for I’m now in my sixty-eighth year. ■
"I remember when I was a child I
was kept cn a strict diet of lime
water and milk for weeks and I have
been in constant distress all these
years. I suffered terribly from bloat
ing and had to be very careful of what
I ate. I became so weak and nervous
I could liardiy go about my housework
and was in a miserable condition.
"About two years ago my husband
got such splendid results from Tanlac
he insisted on my taking it and the
medicine wasn’t but a little while In
ridding me of my troubles. It gave
me a splendid appetite, and I could
enjoy n good hearty meal, even things
I hadn’t dare touch before, without
any fear of it troubling me.
"Then I had the Influenza and be
came dreadfully sick and weak, but
my stomach kept In good order and it
only took four bot'tles of Tanlac te
build me up again to where I’m now
feeling better than at any time I can
remember. I have gained eleven
pounds in weight, too, and words can’t
express the gratitude I feel toward
Tanlac. I keep Tanlac In the house
all the time now, for I know It Is a
medieiDe that can be depended upon.”

CROP ROTATION
IS NECESSARY
By Edga W. Cooley.
Rotation of crops lessens the risk
of failure. It means diversification—
growing more than one kind of crop
on the farm. It increases the sources
of income. Farming is a business and
requires all of our energies intelli
gently directed. It calls for more ef
ficient farm help because it means
steady employment.
Tlie problem of securing efficient
farm help is often serious. In the
great wheat growing regions the har
vest and threshing seasons demand
an army of harvest hands. Wheat is
ripe—the work must be done rapidly
or the crop will be lost. Thousands
of acres of wheat must be taken care
of in a short time. The whole is a
scene of great activity. Men work
early and late and often sleep in the
fields.
There,is much activity while the
crop is being removed from the land
and threshed but there is little activi
ty after the transient labor is per
formed and the army of harvest hands
leave for other parts.
One crop farming never pay for any
length of time. It is all right for a
while—especially in pioneer regions—
but there is sure to come a time when
the system must be changed or ruiti
will result.
There is but one plan that is al
ways permanently successful—the di
versification of crops. Poverty is al
ways the result of growing one kind
of crop, year after year, and hauling
it to market.
Crop rotation is the alternate grow
ing of three general classes of farm
crops—grain crops, grass or legume
crops, and cultivated crops. The ro
tation must be arranged top rovide
the largest yield of grain, pasturage
and forage needed on the farm at the
least expense of labor and fertility.
Rotation systems must be adapted
to each farm or class of farms. The
needful things for a good rotation are
that the yields to the acre be main
tained or increased; that humus be
.kept in the soil; that the land be
kept in good physical condition and
reasonably free from weeds and in
sects. Legume crops (clovers) must
be grown and barnyard manureapplted
Iraon n TV fhe Ulinnlv flf
matter. Cultivated crops and good
tillage are necessary to keep out
weeds and help put the soli in good
condition. These things are natural
ly brought about by rotation of crops.
In planning a system of rotation
observe the following things:
Rotate legume crops with grain
crops.
Plan to grow crops that will give
the largest net profit per acre.
Feed on the farm as large a portion
as possible of the crops grown and
return the manure to the fields.
Raise' the kind of livestock tiiat
will bring the largest return, bearing
in' mind that as a constant money
maker a good dairy cow has no su
perior. *
This is diversified farming and the
man who follows it cannot fail under
normal conditions. Under the worst
conditions he will not fail so utterly
as the on»-crop farmer wall fail, be
cause if he has a few hogs, some
chickens and a few dairy cows, he
will have grown a large portion of
the food needed by himself and
family.
Rotation of crops is a protection
against insects and plant diseases.
Wherever these are found on a farm,
profits are reduced and failure will
resuit. The corn root worm, corn root
louse, chinch bug, Hessian fly, rust
and smut any many other plant dis
eases and Insect enemies to crops are
the result of growing the same crop
year after year witnout rotation.
These pests multiply to such an ex
tent that it becomes impossible to
secure profitable returns from the
land.
Rotation of crops means livestock
on the farm. It means dairying. It
means an even distribution of farm
work, a larger and more continuous
income, better and happier home, and
more efficient people.
Gold Ear. Marked.
From the Wall Street Jouraal.
“Ear-marked” gold had Its origin in
England. Such gold Is held in the BaiiK
of England for some lawful owner and
is not the property of the bank. When
gold Is “ear-marked” it cannot be used
by the Bank of England for its own pur
pose. The governments of India and
Egypt keep large deposits of gold in
the Bank of England against which they
issue notes for circulation at home. This
is “ear-marked” gold.
A recent Instance of “ear-marked”
gold was a deposit held by the Bank of
England for account of our federal re
serve banks. This gold, which amount
ed to $173,348,876 was originally re
ceived by the United States Grain cor
poration in payment of foodstuffs sent
to various European countries during
the war. In August, 1919, the gold was
purchased from the grain corporation by
the federal reserve banks. The grain
corporation wanted its money from the
federal reserve banks at the earliest
possible date. In order to bring this
about the gold had to be assembled and
assayed in the most convenient place.
In the Judgment of the federal reserve
authorities this most convenient place
was the vaults of the Bank of England.
While this gold was held subject to
the order of tb<f federal reserve banks
it figured in their statements as “gold
held by foreign agencies.” This was
“ear-marked” gold. It figured as part
of our gold reserve while over there
and when during 1920, it was brought
over here its position with relation to
the United States’ gold reserve did not
alter.
Counsel of Perfection.
From the Christian Register.
In looking over the school report of
my 9-year-okl grandson I noticed “De
portment 90.” I asked, l|im. “Why not
95?” He replied that only the goody
goodies get 95. I said, “What about
100?” “One hundred!” he exclaimed,
emphatically, '‘No one but Jesus could
get 100.”

STILLMAN AGREED
IIILETFIFI EFT
DIMM PIS
In Statement She Scores Him
For Attitude Toward Guy—
Alleged Excerpts of Her
“Confession” Are Given.
»-„
New York. May 10.—“Jim doesn’t
play the game square."
This is the latest known characteri
sation of her husband by Mrs. James
A. Stillman, it was disclosed Monday
by a friend who quoted her further
as follows:
"I think his actions are con
temptible. particularly his attack on
little Guy. I cannot understand it."
Agreement Is Disclosed.
It was explained in this connection
for the lirst time so far as the pub
lic is concerned, that Mr. and Airs.
Stillman, following telephone talks
between them when she was in Buf
falo and he was in New York and
after the writing of the “confession
letter" by her, had agreed upon the
following solution of the vexed prob
lem of their married life:
1. Mrs. Stillman would go to
Paris with Guy, establish a resi
dence there, and ultimately in
conformance witli French law,
sue for a divorce there.
2. Lawyers for both had
looked up the French law and had
conferred several times. Every
thing was to have been arranged
most amicably and nobly. There
was to be no scandal—not more
than the slightest breath of pub
licity. Mr. bitillman was to take
upon his shoulders whatever
lnocuous blame there might be.
But Summons Were Served.
That was what Mrs. Stillman
thought was to be the ptoxram when
she boarded the Olympic bound for
Southampton last July. Then she and
Guy were served with the summons
and com Claims in the action of her
husband that now has brought un
paralleled publicity upon the Still
man family.
Now Mrs. Stillman says, "I cannot
understand Jim. /The testimony of
hie Canadian witnesses is absolutely
false. The testimony is bought and
the witnesses framed and before the
case is through all of this will be
■hown."
The Alleged Excerpts.
What were described as excerpts
from the “historical confession" let
ter of Mrs. Stillman were printed In
New York evening newspapers Mon
day.
Lawyers associated In the sensa
tional muddle that has resulted from
Mr. Stillman's effort to divorce his
wife and have little Guy Stillman de
clared illegitimate' were shown the
pripted account. They said:
“That is perfectly safe to us. Ap
parently it was written by someone
who had been told of the contents
of the real letter written to her hus
band by Mrs. Stillman, which is now
known as ‘exhibit A.' But it is not
‘exhibit A' by any means. Anyone
who has seen ‘exhibit A' or copies
of It would recognize the difference
at a glance."
A “Wild Paraphrase.”
From a most authentic source Uni
versal Service was informed the
published version was a “mild
paraphrase" of the asserted heart
outpouring of the wife of the recently
resigned president of the National
City bank. Tills printed version
which occasioned these comments
was as follows:
“Iroquois hotel, Buffalo, April
12, 1918.
“Dear Jimmy—I have always
been on the square with you and
that is why I am writing you this
letter. We have had our dif
ferences and these started when
your father made it plain that he
did not want you to marry me.
But you know we have grown
apart from each other but that
has not been my fault.
‘‘I wanted you to come borne to
me but you wouldn't come. You
left me up in the country all
alone and it was so cold, 1 was
lonely and I needed you but you
wouldn't come. Itaun heart brok
en.
“Fred has come Into my life. It
might have been different had
you but shown me the attention I
was entitled to as your wife and
come to me when I appealed to
you.”
Would Come From His Side. . .
The authoritative informant of
Universal Service said Monday:
“The only person who ever might
make public the contents of the al
leged ‘confession letter’ of Mrs. Still
man will be someone connected with
Mr. Stillman's side of the casef And
it appears unlikely that that will be
done.
