Rev. A. HI. Sykes
Now Testiies
Minister of the Gospel Thinks 1t
His Duty to Make Statement
About Wonderful Change.

1t is seldom, indeed, that men
of prominence, especially minis
ters of the gospel, willingly
express h Ell r indebtedness
p b licly to a proprietary
medicine. However, when a
medicine obtains that singular
purity and efficience that is
shown by the uniform prepara-
ton, Tanlac. statements from
our best citizens are to be con-
sidered thoroughly commensu-
rate with the good that is actual
ly being accomplished.
Rev. A. H. Sykes. Pastor of
the Watkins Park Presbyterian
Church, Nashville, Tenn, prom
inent not only as a minister of
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, suffering from
bad stomach and kidney troubles
which gradually developed into
a general nervous breakdown.
At times her condition became
alarming, and frequently
sought medical advice, but moth
ing we could do for her seemed
to bring relief.
In fact, she suffered so long
and 80 much that I 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 remain
in bed, and as a last resort | de-
cided to let her try Tanlac.
Il am conservative man and
have always been skeptical re-
garding the use of proprietary
medicines, but this case has GER
tainly proven an exception. /
am now firmly convinced that
Tanlac is a medicine of great !
power and extraordinary merit.
do not think | have ever seen {
to give such prompt '
results. Mrs. Sykes had taken ;
only two-thirds of a bottle of
this medicine when we began to |
notice a marked improvement in {
her condition. In less than a
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 constantly from sour
stomach and indigestion and was
Intensely nervous. These dis
ressing symptoms, | am thank
ul to say, have entirely disap- l
'eared, her appetite has return
ID and she seems to relish every
hing she eats. She sleeps bet
er and is gaining strength and
lesh rapidly. l think it only a a
question of a short time until G
Ter health is fully restored. y
''Tanlac has certainly proven
remarkable remedy in her case d
nd will do all you claim for it. $,
cheerfully recommend it to my to
riends." a,

Asquith, would receive immediate
attention. Timothy Healy interrupted,
saying:
"He is the hardest-hearted saoler
we ever had" =. =,
"The honorable gentleman" replied
the Premier, knows that that descrip-
ton is not applicable to the Home Sec
rotary. Let him produce his facts"
Mr.. Healy shouted:

can Ambassador visit the prison"
"If the American Ambassador will
give himself the trouble" responded
the Premier, 81 shall be most happy.

my return from my visit TO Ireland
with regard to the impossibiity Of
forcibly imposing on any part Of Ire
land a form Of government lacking
their consent"
Nationalist cries of: What are you
doing now"
In conclusion the Premier said the
atmosphere now existing In Ireland
could only be dispersed by an agreed
settlement. He believed there was no
party, no sane politician in Great
| Britain, who would not welcome with
! 10y such an agreement and cooperate
whole-heartedly therein, and he prayed
it might be soon reached.
The Premier's speech was received
with manifest signs of disapproval by
the Nationalists.
Joseph Devlin said the government
had handed over Irish affairs to Lord
Lansdowne, Major Price and the editor
! Of The Morning Post"
David Lloyd George, Secretary for
| War, said:
"At the most crucial period Of re-
| cruitng, at the beginning of the war
some stupidities, which ut times almost
! looked like malignance, were perpe'
trated in Ireland and were beyond be-
/ lief. Il is very difficult to recover q
| lost opportunity of that kind, where ma
/ tional susceptibilities have been OF,
| Tended and original enthusiasm killed
Irish Quota Declared Small
/ The total number of recruits from
| Ireland since the beginning Of the war,
/ said the War Secretary, was 5000, or
/ 2l1 per cent of the population, which
was very low compared with the re-
mainder Of the United Kingdom and
the dominions.
Looking at the urgency of the mill
tary problem, he hoped that the men of
all parties would help Mr.. Redmond to
/ their utmost to solve his difficulties and
/ create a better atmosphere in Ireland
with regard TO recruiting. He desired
to see "this gallant and warlike people
brought back TO their original temper
/ at the outbreak Of the war. Everybody
in England and the men of all parties
/ in Ireland should consider how to re-
move the causes of injustice, dstrust
and suspicion between the two races

SOUTH SHAKEN
BYEARTHQUAKES
Hurricane Sweeps Gulf
Coast While Three States
Are Rocked

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1S.-The South
was rocked by earthquake and swept by
storm at the same time to-day. While
a tropical hurricane was flaying the
Gulf coast earth tremors overturned
chimneys and frightened many per-
sons from their homes in Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee
The earthquake did little damage,
but wind that reached a velocity Of
ia miles an hour lifted roofs from
houses in Pensacola, Fla. and sank
several vessels in the harbor. One life
was lost.
Mobile reported that it had been
touched more lightly, although the
wind blew ITO miles an hour. Two
small buildings were destroyed and a
negro woman was killed by live wire.
Shipping at Mobile had been warned.
and apparently suffered little harm.
Two river steamers were sunk, a
schooner and a steamer were driven
ashore and small boats were lost.
Shocks Greatest in Alabama
The earth shocks were felt soon after
o'clock and were severest in Mont
gomery and Birmingham, Ala, where
swaying office buildings were emptled
in a few minutes. In these cities CHM
neys were destroyed and articles were
hurled from shelves in residences and
shops. Elsewhere no damage was re-
ported.
The earthquake was felt as far north
as Louisville, Ky. and east to Augusta
Ga. Its duration was about three MIN
utes and there were two shocks
The hurricane had been sweeping
northward from Yucatan and hit the
coast early to-day. 1t had moved well
into the interior tonight with de-
creased intensity. and shipping was
notified by weather officials that all
danger on the sea had passed.
Wire Communication Cut
Mobile was struck early in the day
and wire communication went down in
n short time. Soon Pensacola, too, was
cut off. and not until tonight was 1t
r,ossible TO reach that city. Estimates
tonight put the damage in Mobile at
Sic. 600. but no estimates have been
made of the loss at Pensacola. New
Orleans escaped the storm.
Fverywhere the high wind was &C
COMMANDED by a torrential downpour OF
rain. At Burrwood. La, there was a
fau Of nearly eleven inches. Mont
gomerv was swept by a heavy wind
and there was q heavy rainfall. but 1T
tie damage. Houses were damaged al

So the two set off together, Grip
Piled and paralytic, with heavy
shells falling around them, as socia-
bic as couple Of lame hounds.
The cripple worked up to twelve knots.
The engine room artifcer and the
stoker petty officer, who were in the

cisive action, although both were suf-
fering from shock and slight injuries.

dark. when the light had lessened and
the enemy were more uneasy and l
think in a more scattered formation,
the third when darkness had fallen
and the destroyers had been strung out
astern with orders to help the enemy
home.
This they did all night as the op,
portunity offered. One cannot say
whether the day or night WORK, was
more desperate. From private advices
the Young gentlemen concerned seem TO
have functioned with efficiency either

nr Mary B. JeWett, of Winter Ha-
20 in addressing the twenty-second
,.cond convention of the Florida Fed
.rotion of Women's Club in Miami,
made some pertinent remarks in the
course of her talk that walked up the
,atbargic and put the thinking cap on
more than one broadminded person.
In mart she said: The time for suf-
frage propaganda Of old sort is past
II would be, l am sure, insult to the
Intelligence of such an audience as
this. to stand before you and give you
the old kind of an argument upon
woman suffrage, to bring out the old
affections. and meet them with the
old answers. The world moves, and
we are past that stage. People who
have not already made up their minds,
men or women as to whether grant
ing the suffrage to that one half of
the people who are still deprived of it
would be simply an act of justice or
not. are not people of intelligence.
Thev belong in the class of those who
are not certain whether the earth is
round No, the camps are already
very definitely made up upon this
question. just as definitely as are the
camps of the the allies and those of
the central powers, and those who call
themselves neutral today upon the
question of woman suffrage if they are
intelligent people are just about as
neutral at heart as are the neutral ma
tons 1t is just about the same kind
of neutrality as that of our own ma
ton We have the camp of the suf-
fragists and we have the camp of the
anti-suffragists, but in these camps
things are very much changed of late.
Suffrage conventions are very differ
ent affairs from what they were. To-
day they are great battlefields of dis
eussion, not as to the rightness of our
cause, not arguments to win adherents
but discussions as to ways and means
of securing our end most efficiently
and quickly. When a great national
convention in one half days session,
as did the one at Atlantic City, raised

Suffrage Talk

pledges of $1,OOO,000 for the campaign
OF one year, the stage of business pro-
cedure has arrived, and the stage of
oratory has passed. We hear no more
OF the old fashioned kind of oratory to
listening crowds at our conventions.
Young women, crowds of them fresh
from college and professional life,
with minds keen and we'll trained to
work, come to our conventions and
give thought and study to campaign
methods for winning the vote. The
older and slower methods of work are
fast disappearing. Today when every
candidate for the presidency came out
as an open and avowed suffragist,
when every political party had its
plank declaring it's belief in the JUS
tlce of woman's suffrage, when the
votes of women in the great white
states OF the west controlled 81 cleo
toral votes, there is no going back
ward. A great forward movement
like this can never turn back. It may
be retarded or fastened it its move
meht, but it can no more stop than
can a glacier on its course down a
valley in the mountains.
The time for ignorance upon this
subject is past If we know anything
about the issues of today we must be
informed upon this, as there is no
more important issue. We must be
on one side or the other. There is
still, to be sure, large body both of
men and women, who are Indifferent.
For my part l cannot see how any
thinking woman can be Indifferent up.
on question of such vital interest to
all women. | can see reasons why
many women are opposed to woman
suffrage, but no excuse for indiffer-
ence. If you are in the camp of the
indifferent ask yourself the question
why you are so? Is it because you
think the question unimportant? The
leaders in our great political cam
paigns did not think so. It has been
very live and important issue with
the two leading candidates, Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Hughes

ana Mr. Wilsos sounded no uncertain
note Mr.. Hughes said, in accepting
MS nomination: There is no Justice
In depriving women of the franchise.
1t is bound to come, let us grant the
FEDERAL amendment, and get the thing
done and out Of the way" In that
last sentence, he voiced the feeling of
all the old campaigners. Oh, that we
might have done with it, get it out of
the way and really get down to doing
our share of the worlds work, that so
need women's help in the doing. That
was Mr.. Hughes's utterance. Mr.. Will
son came to the convention of the ma
tional suffrage association in Septem-
Der, and defined his own position
clearly by saying: 81 am fighting with
YOU" and his position as far as per-
sonal conviction is concerned was
made plain year ago, when he trav-
eled from Washington to New Jersey
to cast his vote for the woman suff-
rage amendment in that state
Now, the only question is what are
we, what are you, going to do about
it? Most of you, have no duobt. are
suffragists at heart. Most of you do
not see the justice of CHASING the
women of the United State with idiots,
imbeciles, insane, criminals and chill
dren. The only question is: What are
we to do? How are we going to do
our part to make the day come soon,
and as Mr. Hughes says, Get it out
of the way?" 1t surely is coming and
when it does comes. you will all, what
ever camp you are in now, become
loyal citizens and you will exercise
the right at least as faithfully and as
intelligenty as does the average water
of today.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE ART OF DOING WITHOUT
MISREPRESENTATION OH

AS time goes by the virtue of self
denial is more and more apparent,
and are of doing without more need
ed. Social destinations of today, the
craze for dress, amusements, recrea-
ton, automobiling-al the glitter and
ATTRACTIONS of materialistic age-call
loudly for self cntrol, self-denial and
careful living. And those who try to
keep pace with the crowd set pace
that kills.
No man ever succeeds who does not
learn to do without. The very basis
of religion, of good conduct, or good
character lies in the virtue of self con-
troll. 1t is the highest evidence OF
self mastery and the foundation of all
social and business success.
Did you ever stop to watch crowd
around a street fakir selling some ar
ticle of household use-a potato peel
err, for instance? How he persuaded
the men that their wives could not
peel potatoes without it, found ready
purchasers, who laid down their quar-
tiers, marched home and presented the
article with pride ard righteous feel
ing of helping wife in her daily Ia
bor". only to find her peeling potatoes
the same old way the next day?
We listen to argument. We per-
suade ourselves. We are easily con-
WINGED that we need, in fact must
have, many things that we might well
do without. We see things in the
shop windows that appeal. We read
alluring ads until our resisting power
breaks down. We go bargain hunting
until we are loaded down with things
we cannot use Il like to go shop

that is a finer art than buying lot
of things you will be sorry for.
Doing without may be difficult at
times. but it gets you somewhere. All
successful careers are built upon it..
Saving money and doing without is
painful process, but the results are
mighty pleasant Sacrifice was never
easy and self denial never popular.
But YOU can't have the big things oil
life if you insist upon having thous-
ands of little things all the time. The
how who wants a bicycle must do with
out candy and soda and the like, but
| he knows his wheel will give him last

little sacrifices. Saving for purpose
is not difficult, and self denial for larg-
er pleasures becomes a Joy. 1t is easy
