SPARTA NBURG WOMAN TELLS or
MOTHERS SUFFERING FROM
AWFUL MALADY.
REAfA RKABIE RECITAL.
Daughter Says tho Cncxpectcd Him
pened, and Tells OF Wonderful
Change Brought About.

HOW Tanlac had driven away all
signs Of pellagra. which her mother
had so badly that the bones Of her
hands showed through the sores,
ana how the same medicine had
given her great relief for different
troubles, was described in a very
remarkable endorsement of Tanlac,
given by Mrs. Belle Hopper, of No. 9
Drayton avenue, Drayton, S. c., a
suburb Of Spartanburg.
81 suffered from headaches and
felt very badly" declared Mrs. Hop
per- in her statement MY system
was In a badly rundown condition
and was very weak. Tanlac had
helped my mother so much that
decided to take 1t, and the Tanlac
gave me great appetite and began
70 want to work all the time. though
had been too weak to work. The
medicine got ME in good shape in
every way.
My mother, whose home Is at
Chesnee, S. c., suffered from very
bad case Of pellagra, and she had
been IN bed for two years before she
began taking Tanlac and she had
been almost helpless for a year or
two before she had to stay in bed all
the time. Her system was in very
much rundown condition, and her
hands and face and feet were a solid
mass Of sores. She had no appetite
at all and she had lost lot of
weight
Really, my mother was in a terri
BILE condition. The doctors told her
she had the worst case thev ever
saw, and the bones of her hands
showed through the sores. She had
taken lot Of medicine - almost
every kind Of tonic she ever heard
of-and had several doctors, but she
says Tanlac did her more good than
all Of the other medicines she took.
"The Tanlac really gave my mo-
ther wonderful relief. The sores
left her and have not come back,
though before she took Tanlac we
thought she would never get over
this disease. She was in an awful
condition, really, but she looks like
another woman now, and it is all due
to Tanlac.
She has a good appetite now,
and has gained a lot Of weight. She
gained three pounds on the first bot
tie. We have never seen anything
like 1t. 1t Is hard to believe any
medicine could do as much, but
Tanlac sure did give her the most
wonderful relief.
II am gald to recommend Tanlac.
because it just broke up the case of
pellagra my mother had-at least,
the sores were driven away and have
not come back--and because it
proved in my case remarkably
good medicine. My mother has not
single symptom Of pellagra now. so
far as | can tell"

following his name the letters
"Ph. D." That would. Of course.
have signified that he was Doctor
of Philosophy. Just why the origi-
nator OF these designating letters
saw fit to place them as he did we
were never able to understand. 1t
would have been much more appro-
pirate, We think. to have the letters
I'D. Ph..' especially as some OF our
Present Day spoilers at times use the
letters "P-h-o-o-I' to indicate that
somebody is not quite up to stand

skidding, is slightly nooey in the
bean. has wheels, or any number OF
other strictly classic expressions that
would indicate one and the same
thing, namely. that the person re-
fcrred to was ma a'richt," as some
OF our foreign-born friends would
put it,
And in the light Of certain dis
tinguishing feature said to have been
pecnllar to Diogenes-to wit. that he
went about in Day Time with a
Lighted Lantern in quest of an Hon
est Man-we are, and have long
been, convinced that 3D. PHI" is the
more proper mode Of using these
designatory letters.
We have no record that Diogenes
ever located the Object Of his Quest
nor yet that he had sense enough to
20 and take a peep into mirror to
see If he could find therein reflected
the countenance Of an Honest Man.
But the Old Gink lived and wander
ed about some half thousand years
b. c.. and it may be That he did not
possess mirror. BE that as 1t may.
Old Dlogenes never fails to get our
goat every time we stop to con-
slider him.
but really, wha! we started out to
say is that we found an Moncst Man
the other day. or at least he came
INTO The Courier office. and with no
intention whatever OF disclosing any
unusual trait Of character, simply an
nounccd that he wished us to look up
our old books aud locate an account
that had probably been forgotten. 1t
was small-only Is cents, he said
but he wanted to pay it. We 'scarch
ed the records" but could find no
item charged to him. "Well, never
mind. said the Honest Man. Il
know that owe it, and want to
pas it. You'll find it somewhere on
some OF those old books if you look
for II long enough. You can look it
up and credit it in full when you
find it,"
And he paid the account and car
ricd away his receipt. He felt bet
ter, we are sure. and we have a
higher regard for human nature in
general and for this gentleman in
particular. The moral to which we
would point as the sum and sub
stance Of the whole matter-(and
those TO whom we are speaking will
know and recognize the fact that
they have beer addrcssed) - is con-
tanned in thee few brief words: eco
thou and do likewise"
Not like old DiOgcnes. but like
that Honest Man who came to us and
pa'd us what he knew he owed.

MEETING Of S. SIDE.
SOCIAL CENTER CLUB
(From Fridays daily.)

Last evening the South Side Social
Center club met at the third ward
s2hoolhouse, and large number were
present. Songs were sung and a rec
itation, ''Woman's Rights" by Miss
Nell Mchr, brought applause and
laughter. Miss Cecil Harvey gave
piano solo and the Twentieth Century
orchestra rendered several selections.
The feature of the evening was po-
liticaI discussion and Ralph Wickus
spoke for President Wilson. His chief
point was that Mr.. Wilson is not just
Democrat, but an American, for
Americans first, last and all the time.
J. w. Harrington remarked that
it was a great pleasure for him to
speak for Mr.. Wilson "Our Presi-
dent" He spoke we'll for him. Among
other good things done by "Our Pres
ident," he spoke of the child-labor law
and the widows pension bill
"Mr. Wilson is for peace, and if he
has saved the life of one boy, it is
worth more to us than all the crown
ed heads of Europe.
AS. Rev. James Jefferson was I'M
able to be present, Mr.. Briggs spoke
for prohibition. Here follow few
points:
The Prohibition party has had a
sxo11 II Cow oern w 10
platform since 1872. The other par
ties are forty years behind the times.
'The principle of prohibition is
right; has always been right.
eff the government would go out
Of business with the liquor interests
and there was no money in it for US,
we, as a people, would rise up and
vote the business out Of existence.
"The government receives $1.25 a
gallon for every gallon made in the
United States, unless it is moonshine.
lover 1875 million dollars are real
lied in revenue from the liquor bust
ness.
zone hundred thousand men fill
drunkards' graves every year; as
many boys grow up to fill their places
and keep the business alive and pay
the revenue.
every man who votes for license
is just as responsible as the man be-
hind the bar.
"When there are no saloons, a child
labor law will not be needed, as the
money will go into the family instead
Of into the saloon.
"Would you take twelve hundred
and fifty dollars for your boy? That
is the price paid to us as a people for
the boys who are given to the liquor
interests. I would rather put my boy
in the field of battle and have him
shot than to let them make a drunk
ard Of him"
Mr. Feech said Mr. Briggs had
stolen his speech, so he spoke for the
socialists.
''They have woman suffrage and no
saloons as planks in their platform.
nineteen of the planks in the plat
form of the Bull Moose party last
election were taken from the Social
list platform.
"They believe in government owner
ship of railroads, so that Uncle Sam
can deliver us our mail without run
ming in debt"
We hope to hear more in the near
future from Mr.. Briggs and Mr.
Feeck, they did so we'll for their par
ties that no Republican present was
brave enough to speak for Mr.. Hughes,
and our worthy president, Mrs. Stad-
Ter, spoke few good words in his
favor, saying that if Hughes would
keep his promises, he is the man we
want for our next president.

The club has decided to meet the
first and third Thursday in each
month.
