AMERICAN families would have less sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on our home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,
000 tons a year in normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks each
family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per persoft for household use. The military situation de
mands that every available ship be placed at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save
shipping.

the trench foot slippers which will
^eep us busy this week.
Mrs. A. L. Crittenden, who has lo
cal charge of the French orphan fund
at Tupelo for Mrs. W. A. Billingsley,
county treasurer, has secured two j
more for Tupelo this month. The
Methodist Sunday school adopts a girl
and the Baptist Sunday school, Mr.
'R. D. Baker, treasurer, adopts a one
year-old and leaves its choice of sex
to the committee. Every town could |
and should have one or more orphans
to its credit and considering that Tu
pelo is doing its full share of all war j
relief work, it is doing very well to
Jiave three to its credit. Applies- i
tions may be made through Mrs. W. J
A. Billingsley, Newport, Ark. Ten!
cents a day will keep a child in its
home. You may pay it any way you |
like, but it is a satisfaction to know !
you are responsible for one little life
over there, and you may know the
name and address of your orphan if
you wish to.
If you have a chair or a small table,
a desk, large or small that you could j
lend for a time to the county nurse, '■
will you let Mrs. Will Campbell know
about it? We expect the nurse by
September 1st. This is the biggest
move forward that the county has
ever taken and will result in immeas
urable benefit to the whole commun
ity. We must have her office ready
for her and do our part to make her
feel we are individually interested.'
She is doing public work but it will
be only as good as we help her make
it—and it is work for us, not her.
She comes with the best of recom
mendation. Her husband is fighting
for this country and she is going to j
do her part in trying to make things I
better here at home. Lend a hand and j
give her every help you can' ill an !
times. She needs your friendly as- j
sistance and cordial support at all
times. _ i ( \ ’
TUCKERMAN DEPARTMENT

j S. L. Bogle and wife left last week
for different points in Tennessee,
where they are visiting among rela
tives. They are expected home the
latter part of this week.
James Harvjey and family spent
Saturday and Sunday among rela
tives near Jonesboro. They were de
layed several hours on their return
near Grubbs because of the heavy
rain that visited that section and did
not arrive home pntil in the night.
Jack Ramsey accompanied them in
the capacity of “shoffer.”
Hubert Burkhalter returned home
last Friday from Mississippi, after
an extended visit among relatives in
that state.
Mrs. Pearl Jessup left Monday af
ternoon for Little Rock, where she
will visit during the next fortnight.
Miss4 Maude Tye of Battle Axe is
here this week visiting among her
many relatives.
Monday, September 16th, has been
chosen as the date for the opening of
the public school here, provided the
rooms on the lower floor of the new
school building have been completed
at that time. There are still some
vacancies to be filled to complete the
teaching faculty, but this will proba
bly be done within the next few days.
Our people are expecting much of
the next session and this result can
be obtained only by the entire co-op
eration of pupils and patrons with the
teachers. With the new building
which will provide sufficient seating
capacity, a new course of study which
broadens the scope of work, a strong
corps of teachers who will work un
der the direction and supervision of
one of the best and most successful
educators in the state, and a twelve
mill school-tax which will provide a
suilicient amount oi revenue to main
tain it, Tuckerman should have one
of the best schools in the state. The
conditions mentioned are doing much
to stimulat the population of of our
town. Residences are very much in
demand just now and people from
different parts of the county would
locate here it they could only pru
cure homes. It is very unfortunate
that the town cannot add this desir
ed citizenship to its population just
now because of the lack of homes.
This section of the county was vis
ited by a good ain last Sunday after
noon. The extemely dry and hot
weather of the past month has done
very serious damage to all growing
crops. The receent rain will revive
and stimulate some of it but little
good will result to much of it. The
cotton crop has been cut half and the
corn crop is shorter than in several
years past. Only a high price for
cotton and seed will give this section
an average income from its farming
interests.
The protracted services by the
Baptist people will begin next Sun
day. Rev. L. C. Bauer, who has held
several protracted meetings here in
the past will be in charge.

DIDN’T THINK SHE’D
EVER BE WELL AGAIN
“Tanlac Has Made Me Well and
Strong,” Says Mrs. Miles—Suffer
ed 20 Years. Gained 29 Pounds.
“I am now twenty-nine pounds
heavier than I was when I began us
ing Tanlac and I feel like a new wo
man in every way.” said Mrs. Annie
Miles, residing at 1445 Evergreen
Avenue, Jacksonville, Fla., a short
time ago,
“For twenty-five long years I suf
fered with stomach trouble and indi
gestion and tried everything I ever
heard of for it, but kept getting
worse all the time,” she continued.
“I just had to force myself to eat
enough to keep myself alive* and what
little I did eat made me suffer hours
of agony, from gas that would rise
on my stomach. I had awful head
aches and dizzy spells constantly and
was so nervous I could hardly sleep.
I fell off in weight and got so weak
and so no-account that I felt I could
never be well again.
“One of my neighbors told me what
_ _ _ J
Tanlac had done for her, and I start
ed taking it. I begun to pick up right
away. I kept on gaining until I
had increased in weight twenty-nine
pounds and my strength has come
back to me in full force. I can eat
anything I want and everything
tastes good. My nerves, are all right
again and I sleep like a child at night
and get up in the morning feeling
fine. Tanlac has made me strong
and well again.”
Tanlac is sold by al the leading
duggists of the county.
