REV. A. Il. SYKES
DISCUSSES HIS
WIFE'S TROUBLE
MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL THINKS
III HIS DUTY TO MAKE STATE
MENT ABOUT WONDERFUL
CHANGE.

1t is seldom, indeed, that men Of
prominence, especially ministers OF
the gospel, willingly express their
Indebtedness publicly to proprietary
medicine. However, when medicine
obtains that singular purity and eff
cheney that is shown by the UNIFORM
preparation, Tanlac, statements from
cur best citizens are to be considered
thoroughly commensurate with he
good that is actually being accom-
pushed.
Rev. A. H. Sykes, pastor of the Wat
kins Park Presbyterian church, Nash
vile, Tenn, prominent not only as a
minister of the gospel, but popular as
a man and citizen who has been true
to his friends and every trust ever
reposed in him, said recently:
For the past ten months Mrs. Sykes
has been in very delicate health, suf-
fering from bad stomach and kidney
troubles, which gradually developed
iuto general nervous breakdown. At
times her condition became alarming,
ard l frequently sought medical ad-
vice, but nothing we could do for her
seemed to bring relief.
"In fact, she suffered so long and
so much that feel it my duty to let
everyone know what this medicine has
done for her. For several months her
condition was such that she had to re-
main in bed and as a last resort, l
decided to let her try Tanlac.
Il am a conservative man and have
always been skeptical regarding the
use Of proprietary medicines, but this
case, has certainly proven an excep-
ton. am now firmly convinced that
Tanlac is medicine of great power
and extraordinary merit. ] do not

WOMAN'S BEST
FRIEND.

Nature has provided women with ex-
tremely delicate organs, SO sensitive
that they become disordered for the
slightest causes, and the least disturb
ance is likely to prove serious.
It is therefore every woman's highest
duty to take care of these organs. At
the slightest sign of any of those dis
orders, known generally as Female
Troubles, they should be stopped imme-
diately before great pain and probably
permanent injuries result.
The most splendid remedy for all dis
eases of women is SQUAW NERVA-
TUM, the simple, harmless vegetable
remedy, that contains none of the chem
icals or harmful ingredients. 1t cures
quickly, painlessly and thoroughly.
Every woman should demand the
right to health and happiness that
SQUAW NERVATUM brings. So in or
der to put the first bottle of this great
medicine within the reach of all, we
make on the coupon below an unusually
GENEROUS OFFER.

think | have ever seen anything to
give such prompt results. Mrs. Sykes
had taken only two-thirds of bottle
Of this medicine when we began to no
tice a marked improvement in her con-
dition. In less than week from the
time she began taking it she was able
to sit up and is today able to help
with the household duties. Before she
began taking Tanlac she had fearful
pains in her side, and suffered con-
stantly from sour stomach and indf-
gestion and was intensely nervous.
These distressing symptoms, / am
thankful to say, have entirely disap-
peared, her appetite has returned and
she seems to relish everything she
eats. She sleeps better and is gaining
strngth and flesh rapidly. I think it
only a question of a short time until
her health is fully restored.
"Tanlac has certainly proven a re-
markable remedy in her case and will
do all you claim it. I cheerfully rec
ommend it to my friends"

icus by Aliens Drug and Seed Store.

400 PEDESTRIANS
KILLED IN 1915
ON \. Y. STREETS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-To decrease
the number of pedestrians killed by We
hjcles in the city streets, of whom
there have been $50 thus far this year,
Police Commissioner Woods today is
sued a list of don't directed to both
pedestrians and drivers. Some of his
suggestions to chauffeurs are:
Don't imagine that you are care
full driver, because you shout or toot
your horn at pedestrian crossing in
front of you.
Don't forget that the pedestrian also
is permitted to use the roadway.
Don't forget that children must play
sometimes in the streets. Be ready to
stop instantly if one runs in front Of
you.
Don't fail to slow down at cross
ings.
Don't race home after your days
work.
Don't fail to examine your brakes &C.
casionally.
Don't leave an automobile unguarded
SO that child can start it.
To pedestrians the commissioner rec
immended:
Don't vascillate on the approach of
a vehicle Act normally.
Don't forget that the proper place to
cross the street is at the crossing.
Don't day-dream while crossing the
street; you are liable to wake up in a
hospital.

NAVE FAMOUS GUESTS

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 6-That the
Atlanta federal prison is today hous-

more nation famous people than all

Atlanta combined, is again strikingly
stown by he announcement that Karl

If a current historian were to take

would be at the prison.
Also there are about as many mil

WOULD NEED 294 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
Der to Effectually Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma.
rines are based at Zeebrugge. the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations off the ports OF
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
oVerhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot we'll
exceed twenty days. Consequently it
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
Of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts of England, Scotland. and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade if
all supplies are to be cut off.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
face of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines. and double that number
would be none too many. If the min
imum number of three boats be al
lowed for each port, the Germans
would require at least lat constantly
on station to close all the ports of
Great Britain; that is, allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 submarines.-WOrld Work.

FEED THE FOWLS REGULARLY
Stated Hours Keep Dry Mash Be-
fore Chickens at All Times,

Hens are creatures of habit; if fed
regularly, they will come up at feed
ing time, and go off contentedly to the
range or roost, says WaIIace's Farm
er. If fed at varying times they hang
about the feeding yard, and if the
meal is delayed, they overeat and may
become crop-bound-a trouble some
times called Sunday morning dis
ease" because the poultry man who
takes his Sunday nap without putting
out feed for the chickens Saturday
night, is apt to have frequent cases
of this kind. A lady who is success
full in getting winter eggs said:
The reason we always get winter
eggs is because our hens have estab-
Iished regular habits, which means
good digestion and content. If the
chickens of the Blanks have to wait
it is the Blanks-never the chickens.
A dissatisfied hen won't lay, and a
hen that is not fed when she thinks
she ought to be fed is dissatisfied"
If it is impossible to feed at stated
hours, keep the dry mash before the
chickens all the time, and throw the
days allowance of grain in the litter
the night before.
Caring for chickens is less OF bur
den if we do it so regularly that it be-
comes a habit to be gone through with
mechanically.
