To the Voters

AS the time is near to a
close and the primary cleo
ton only three days off, ]
think that it is the duty of
all candidates for City Com
missioner to tell the people
through the press where
they stand on the most inn
portant issues that are in
volved in this campaign. The
voters should know how
each candidate stands on
these issues: Are you for or
against the gambling dens,
the blind tigers, the lewd
houses that are scattered
over the city defaming the
fair name of our city. Please
tell the voters through the
press where you stand. On
Tuesday next the voters will
have to choose a City Com
missioner. We have much
lawlessness in Pensacola.
The cause of right is cruel
fed for the cause of evil to-
day. "Moral weaklings" in
places of responsibility and
trust have been the greatest
hindrance to the upbuilding
of the City of Pensacola.
Weaklings who make a
mockery of the great moral
issues Of this campaign
should have no place in the
government of the City Of
Pensacola. No man can del
egate his responsibility. Are
the service clubs to remain
open all night long and al
day Sunday? Shall the gam

houses that are scattered
over the city be allowed to
remain in our midst corrupt.

years ago, when / took a bad form
of indigestion, accompanied by a vast.
ing away of flesh and strength.
Il could not eat hardly anything,
just few mouthfuls at a meal and
nothing did eat tasted good or gave
me any bodily nourishment, in fact, |
did not eat enough to keep a child
alive. Gas would form on my stom-
ach and I would have palpitation of
the heart. was so weak and run
down I had no energy and could hard
ly get about. I could not walk a
block without having to sit down and
rest. l was weak in my limbs and
suffered great deal with the back
ache.
II was nervous, did not sleep good
and had dizzy headaches every day.

weighed only 115 pounds. l was un-
der the treatment of a good doctor
for months but the medicine / took
did not seem to help me the least bit,
and | just seemed to be a walking
skeleton.
my daughter kept reading to me
about Tanlac and wanted me to take
it. I finally consented and she sent
to Atlanta and got me a bottle. ]
began to improve right from the start
and it was no time before my appe-
tite began to return and I felt better
in every way. I have just finished
taking my seventh bottle, and / feel
as strong and active as / did when
forty years of age, In fact, I have
taken on new lease of life.
81 have gained twenty-one (21)
pounds in weight and now weigh 1876
pounds. I can now eat just anything
and as much of it as any other man
and everything tastes good. / am not
