EX-PASSENGER
AGENT MAKES
STATEMENT 7
FROM HEARTBURN so
BAD-"FELT LIKE COAL OF FIRE.
IN STOMACH.

Searly everybody, especially rail
road people, know Capt. +. S. Patty,
for twelve years District Passenger
Agent for the Northern Pacific Rail-
road, with local offices at Chattanoo-
ga, and General offices in ST. Paul,
Minn.
On account of generally feailing
health, Capt. Patty was forced to dis
continue active work, and for the
past few years has been making his
home in Knoxville, where he numbers
his friends by his acquaintances. He
is kind genial gentleman of the
old school and is beloved by all who
know Kim. The following interesting
statement was made by him in person
to Mr.. G. F. Willis, at Kuhlman's
Thursday morning.
Il am 50 years old, and always en-
joyed very good health up to about
six years ago, when | suffered ner-
vous breakdown and my general
health gradually failed me. My prin-
cipal trouble was Indigestion and ca
tarrh, tut my whole system seemed to
be out of shape. My Condition finally
got so bad l couldn't sleep at night,
and always after eating l would suffer
so from indigestion an heatbun, that
| felt Just like there was coal of
fire in my stomah. My hearing and
vision were also affected.
II consulted several doctors here
in Knoxville and other cities and
they helped me considerably, and /
finally got so l could go around, but
somehow l just couldn't feel right
and could not sleep at night which
made fe awfully nervous, and moth
ing l would eat seemed to agree with
me.
Il began reading about this Tanlac
when you first came here, but did not
decide to try the medicine until II
talked with a friend of mine who had
actually used it: He said it was the
best thing he had ever taken and that
was sufficient proof to me-
81 have just finished the first bottle
and came here this morning, not only
to buy the second bottle, but to tell |
you just that it has done for me. |
began enjoying my meals from the
first few doses. My nervousness is |
gone and | can sleep like a hid, and |
always wake up in the morning ready |
for breakfast and feeling refreshed ! |
am very fond of onions but was al
most afraid to eat the mbeause they |
alwafs disagreed with me so, | could |
taste them for hours afterwards. ! |
ate one for dinner the other day and
it agreed with me perfectly and |
felt no bad after-affects, whatsoever.
I am beginning to feel like different
man and am always going to keep
this Tanlac on hand. 1t has done me
more good than anything else in the
medicine line have ever taken.
certainly do recommend it to my
friends. 1t is really remarkable"
Tanlac is sold in Johnson City by

FAILS OF PASSAGE IN
SENATE, BUT Is SAVED
MOTHERS PENSION BILL
Passed by House and Amended to
Apply to Counties of Over
Fifty Thousand

Nashville, Tenn, March 10.-While
Senator Gardners law enforcement
bill for the interchange of judges
failed of passage in the senate this
afternoon because it got but sixteen
votes, one less than constitutional
majority, quick action by Senator
Hoskins, who moved to reconsider,
saved the bill from defeat, and Sena-
tor Gardner announced tonight that
with an amendment which he will
agree to, relative to certain expenses
OF the JUICES, enough votes have been
pledged to insure its passage tomor-
row. The rule is that a man who
moves to reconsider has the privilege
of calling it up at any time within
the next two days following. During
the debate, Speaker Hill, while voting
against the bill, was entirely fair in
his rulings.
Speaker Hill announced today the
appointment of Senators Gardner and
Stevens on a memorial committee for
the exercises in the house tomorrow,
on the death of the late Speaker Hu
c. Anderson.
Mothers Pension Bill
The lower house this morning pass
ed the mothers pension bill by
unanimous vote. The bill provides for
the pensioning of widows who are not
able to suporpt their children, re-
moving the frequent necessity of hav-
ing to take babies from their moth
ers to place them in public orphan
ages and asylums. The measure was
so amended as to apply only to coun-
ties of more than fifty thousand pop
ulation, to make the law optional with
county courts, instead of mandatory,
and to make it apply to mothers
whose husbands are invalids, or for
other reasons incapable of supporting
their families. Mr. Tankard, of Da-
made very eloquent speech
in behalf of the bill.
Another improvement TO rthe state
fair was foreshadowed by the intro
duction of bill appropriating $125,-
900 for the building of live stock
pavilion on the fair grounds.

EUROPEAN WAR NO. %.

Outflanked the Russian right,
Took fifty thousand prisoners
And fifty guns all right;
Nine days the battle ragged,
And marching in the snow
Up to their waists the Germans
Struck a tremendous blow.
Sister Susie in Seryia
Is fighting side by side
With soldiers in the trenches,
And differently applied
Is Britain's popular melody
When she's foraging for food,
Saving sick and wounded
Or burying the dead.
Whole cities of beggars in Belgium
Are wandering anywhere
With starvation in their faces
And terorr and despair
Almost naked in ht eceuntry
Some of the peasant class
Wander about like wild beasts
Eating nuts, boiled leaves and grass

Two Countesses of Lerebaneonst
Whose brothers were away,
The Prince of Weird in thir castle
Resolved with his staff ostay,
Made the ladies chambermaids
And then the robber staff,
Looted the treasures and sol1iers
Smashed up the othc" half.
Poor Belgium's crucifixion
Has never half been .ol1
Of ghosts at the wiiilpw peering
In Antwerp young and old;
Ghosts of the starring il life.
Not ghosts of the HAPPIER dead,
And women shiver in slush
To get crust of bread.

To gnaw at the soduen roots,
The rich and poor degraded
Live together like rats;
Nothing that dirt and misfortune
Insult, hunger and pain,
Living in pigsties together
Half sheltered from the rain.
Has been spared to suffering Belgium
And they must still endure
Whatever the worlds compassion
For seven million or more.
Five million month may feed them
In their horror anj despair
But only the husk of country
Is left in blackness there.
When the last cabbage stalk is de-
"; red
Tire last hen starved to death,
The last rind of cheese raked out
OF the corner of desolate hearth,
Unless they can live on the earth
They martyred themselves to save,
These seven million may die
And Belgium is in her grave.
Thank God for American kindness
Speeding across the sea
Are twenty eight steamers loaded
With food and sympathy;
Only a nickle given now
May save a child two days,
Gods blessing will go with it
Through all your living days.

But save seven mill, ntoday."
The Belgians are grateful people,
A woman with child on ono arm
i leaf of bread on the other
Saluted with kisses watm

For the love of your flag she said

Who saved us from the dead.

And guns about ten score

Daily Thought.

Our reputation for wisdom depends
much on our success.-Euripides
The Dolores star., 1915-06-04
SOME complaint has come re

SOME complaint has come re-
garding the giving Of half the
road in case of an automobile COM
ing up behind a team. The parties
claim that when they come up be-
hind a fellow with a team he stub
bornly refuses to give any of the
road, no matter if there is plenty
of room to turn out. Now the law
recognizes the rights of both the
man with the team and the man
with the auto, and these rights
should be respected. There are
plenty of men who are running
autos who should be driving OK
teams and vice versa. but all men
should not be treated that way.
The law says that when a man
is overtaken by a faster vehicle, the
man driving the slower vehicle
shall turn our and give half of the
beaten path.

A community is judged by the

But if we loose the Aoodgates Of
criticism and abuse and belittle the
community and its people, then in

which we create for ourselves, and
