THOUGHT HIS wife
WOULD NEVER LEAVE
HER INVALID CHAIR
Foreman of Big Plant Says, "Tanlac
Made New Woman of Ny Wife
and She Has Gained Fifteen
Pounds"

The public of today is accustomed
to strange and unusual occurrences,
and the newspapers are filled with
sensation after sensation, but in
spite of this the statement of Mr..
w. w. Smith regarding the remark
able recovery of his wife, whom he
had given up to be an invalid the
rest of her days, would hardly be
believed were it not for the high
character of Mr.. Smith, foreman of
the Kruger Mfg. 60, of Atlanta,
and the further fact that each and
every circumstance can be estab-
lished beyond a reasonable doubt
Mr. Smiths address is Box 159, R.

Il am happy man." he said af-
ter completing his remarkable state
ment, land I'll stand up to every
word I've said and more, too. Just

Following is the recital of facts
in Mr.. Smiths own words:
My wife was so weak she could
not walk and she could not leave her
chair or bed without help-in fact,
l had given her up to be an invalid
the rest of her life. She spent most
of the time in her chair and had
done so for years. have spent
thousands of dollars for doctors, hos
pitfalls, nurses and to drug stores, but
nothing gave her relief, and that's
why it seems so astonishing that
four bottles Of Tanlac could make
her gain Is pounds and put her on
her feet again.
Her main trouble was rheuma-
tism, but she seemed to be in bad
condition in many ways. She had
headaches and was very nervous all
the time, which kept her from rest
ing well at night. Her liver was
sluggish and inactive and she had
continual pains over the kidneys.
Nothing we could do seemed to re-
lieve her of the tired, languid feel
ing that was with her all tho time,
and | feared she was emit: ely be-
yond the reach of medicine.
Besides all this, her stomach was
out of order and she would have
bilious spells, followed by constipa-
ton. and then diarchea.
Strong testimonials from people

tie hope that Tanlac would help my
wife and make her feel better, even

People contend that there's no
money in the newspaper business,
and this may be laid down as a cor
rect general principle; but once in
long time we find man of excep-

essary all-round qualifications-who
can make newspaper go, and then
It goes some. Such man is Stovall
and such newspaper is the Tribune.
The paper is so prosperous that "a

block, with a garden Of flowers and
yerdure in front and on each side"

Makes you feel like getting in the
game, Ell? But-there are not many
Stovalls. He won his success by
years of hard work, application and
self-denial and by keeping everlast-

one, we are proud OF his splendid
achievements. and we trust we will
live many. many years to enjoy the
fruits Of his industry, editorial abil-
ity and business acumen.

THE BIZ S & u 1 T

The biscuit is a small, irritable food
product composed of flour, salt, milk
and luck. A great many women use the
right proportions of flour, salt and milk,
but try to get along without any luck,
thus introducing into a once happy
home several varieties of valve-lift-
ing indigestion.
There are two kinds of biscuits
sweet and sour. The sweet biscuit is
one which is made by an oldfashioned
cook who has spent years at the trade
and never took domestic science les
son in her life. One of the sweetes.

and mother making baking powder bis

and as light on their feet as a ballet
dancer. The wife who can do this seven

Training in public speaking is not
a matter of externals-methods are
secondary matters; the full mind, the

primary and not only primary but
paramount; for unless it be a full be

like dressing a wooden image in the
