T. EOWARDS NOW ENDORSES IT Prominent Georgia Physician Recommends Tanlac to His A Patients. Dr. J. T.

"In my thirty years of active prac- tice a8 a Mlcensed physician in the State of Georgia," says Dr. Edwards, 1 have never seen anything to equal Tanlac as a medicine to produce re- sults. 1 hear people on all sides tell- ing of the benefits they have derived from its use. "Tantac is simply the talk of my town. I have no hesitancy in recom- mending the medicine; and as a mat- ter of fact, 1am prescribing it fory my patients almost every day. "Only'a few days ago a well-known woman of Fayetteville came to me and told me about the remarkable re- lief her daughter had gained from the use of this medicine. She said her daughter had been confined to her bed for three years with what had been pronounced pellagra, and that after using Tanlac for a short time she was able to be about, and was on the road to recovery. "But this is only ome instance. People in all walks of life in and around our little city are giving simi- lar indorsements to the medicine.

Is He as Sentimental and Rollicking | as of Yore? 'What of the Irishman of to- day? 2 asks George A. Birmingham in "Th Lighter Side of Irish Life," which} was published in England six years | 280. "Our neighbors across the | Channel insist that he is an eloquent | sentimentalist, preserving, in spite of his sentimentality, a capacity for rollicking on occasion. Our obwn writers, while steadily denying the sentime ity, admit the rollicking for the first half of the last century. But to-day nobody rollicks less than the Irishman, and according to our own writers, no one is freer from those illusions which lie at the back of sentimentality. We may take Mr. George Bernard Shaw to witness, Larry Dayle, in 'John Bull's Other Island,' explains himself; but since we are all a little slow at under- standing Mr. Shaw, we have Larry explained for us in the best of all Mr. Shaw's prefaces, an essay ad- dressed to politicians, but which surely deserves to be classed withy other such' writings as an aid to critics. Doyle's contribution to the partnership in the play is, according to Mr. Shaw, 'freedom from illusion, the power of facing facts, the ner- vous industry, the sharpened wits, the sensitive pride of an imaginative man who has fought his way up through social persecution and pow erty.' This view of the Irish-char- acter is revolutionary. The cherish- ed myth of the minor English novel- ists disappears at once. And Mr. Shaw is indubitably right. Nothing is more characteristic of the Irish- man to-day than his freedom {rom illusien and his power of facing facts."

In Ireland the reader comes across real poetry, strong, | original, and melodious, in The most | unexpected places. But even when | he is writing poetry, the modern | Irishman's affection for stark facts | and his hatred of illusion best him.

That she has not done so is, 1 am convine- ed, mainly because she has not been given that opportunity. I am happy to say that the opportunity which for long was denied her, @hd which then was granted to her tentatively and cautiously, is about to be held out to, her in a more ample form. The first opportunity granted her of contri- Luting fighting men to the cause of the empire was limited to the double | company of an infantry regiment. She gave it.
