RAILWAY GRANTED
YEARS EXTENSION

At meeting of the city commits
sioners yesterday afternoon, the or
dinance which was introduced several
weeks ago, and which has for its
purpose the granting of a years ex-
tension to the p, M. & N. o. railway,
was read the third time and passed.
The ordinance, upon being read the
second time, was referred to the city
attorney, who returned it with an
opinion that it was in proper form as
it stood, and that it would be valid
if adopted in said form. There was
no dissenting vote.
AS stated previously, this measure
gives the P, M. & n. o. road until
January 1, 1918, to build to the shores
of Mobile bay, where connections will
within the next twelve months be pos
sible, it is hoped, by the spanning OF
"a portion of the water by a substan-
tial trestle, with the railways enter
ing Mobile.

Physicians cannot even begin the treat

causes give rise to it, and we must remem-
Der that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give . remedy intended to
counterfeit the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, anti-kamnta tablets Will be found

One tablet every one to three hours gives
comfort and rest in the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women
When we have q patient subject to regular
attacks of sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing is better than Actoids,' and when
he feels the least sign of an oncoming at
tack, he should take two AK Tablets. Such
patients should always be instructed TO
carry few anti-kamnia tablets, so as to

tablets are prompt in action and can be
depended on to produce relief In very
few minutes. Ask for AK Tablets.

WOULD co FROM
HOUSE To. HOUSE
IF HAD TIME I'D LIKE TO GO
OUT AND TELL EVERYBODY
ABOUT TANLAC," SAYS FARM

eff I was not so busy with my farm
work 1 would just like to go from
house to house and tell the people
about Tanlac," said A. ]. Livingston,
a well known Tennessee farmer, who
lives near Ashland City, not far from
Nashville.
81 had stomach and kidney trouble
and suffered torment with my lack
and side. The doctors could do moth
ing for me, so I wrote a friend of
mine in Nashville about Tanlac and
he advised me to try it, saying he had
heard so many favorable reports
about it, and sent me bottle.
"After taking the first bottle
felt so much better l ordered another
bottle for myself, and the result is

mine about it and ordered a bottle

can eat anything / want and it don't
hurt me, and can sleep like a log.
"To tell you the truth l just simply
feel like new man and have more
strength and energy than l have had
in years. 1t is simply the grandest
medicine in the world. / would like
to see all of my friends and get those
who are suffering to try it, and l hope
you will reach them through this tes-
timonial, which I have gladly given"
Most of the so-called stomach, liver
and kidney troubles are due almost
entirely to catarrhal inflammation of
these organs which brings about a
general weakened condition of the
system. 1t is Mr.. Cooper's theory that
almost nine out of every ten people
are more or less so affected and many
of. them do not know what is really
wrong with them.
Such people, and there are thou
sands of them everywhere, suffer
from headaches, loss of appetite
sleeplessness, depression of spirits
and stomach, liver and kidney disor-
ders.
Tanlac, which is powerful recon
structive tonic, appetizer and invigor.
ant, is what they need. 1t builds VI
the system, creates healthy appetite
and aids and promotes digestion anc
makes you feel strong, sturdy anC
well. There is no doubt about that
fact.
Genuine Tanlac is sold only and ex'
clusively in Pensacola oby the Crys
tai Pharmacy.-Adv.

PRESIDENT HUsTIs
GAVE TESTIMONY
Admitted That Counsel for Company

BOSTON, Dec. g. - Boyd B. Jones,
counsel for the Intercontinental Rubber
company of New Jersey, which, as
creditor of the Boston & Maine rail

placed that road in temporary receiver
ship, was employed by the Boston &

Mr.. HuStis was a witness in the fed
eral district court at the hearing wheth-
er the receiverships should be made
permanent. Mr.. Hustis was summoned
to the stand by Asa p French, counsel
for the minority interests, who are con
testing the receivership on the ground
that it was obtained through collusion
between the road s directors and the
petitioning creditors. Woodward Hud-

PRICE OF CIGARS TO SOAR.
Manufacturers Losing Money, Tobacco
Leaf Explains.

In line with the trend of almost
everything else, there is soon to be a
pronounced increase in the cost of
cigars. Tobacco Leaf explains the
causes on these grounds: Increased ac
tivitv in other industries has made
labor in the tobacco growing districts
scarce, and the price Of labor unprece-
dentedly high. The wooden eases in
which domestic tobacco is packed, the
cheesecloth under which shadegrown
tobacco is grown, fertilizers necessary
to the soil, implements used in cult
vation, etc, all have advanced. And in
Cuba the great boom i'll our sugar has
diverted agriculturists to that industry
and created a shortage of good Havana
leaf. The result is that all kinds of
leaf tobacco used for cigar purposes in
this country have gone skyward.
The upshot of it is that, while even
before the war began, large proper.
tion Of manufacturers were, at the
best, just about breaking even on their
investment, now they find themselves
actually and almost without exception
playing losing game.
