DESIRE ID BENEFIT OTHERS CAUSES HER TOMAKE STATEMENT
Mrs. Pridmore Had Suffered Ever Since She Can Re- member-Says Tanlac
 Relieved Her

Mrs. Mamie Pridmore, residing at loo' Third avenue, West End, is still another Birmingham woman of high standing whose deep sense of gratitude and de- sire to benefit other suffering women will not permit her to remain silent III regard to the remarkable benefits she mas derived from Tanlac Mrs. Prldmore IS the wife of J. E. Pridmore, proprietor or a leading grocery and meat market pusi- ness, who enjoys a large and well oe- served patronage.
 "I suffered from stomach trouble anu indigestion more or less every since l could remember" said Mrs. Pridmore in her statement to the Tanlac representa- : tive a few days ago. What l ate, she continued, Just lay in my stomach ana felt like a hard ball, and nothing l could do would remove 1t. For hours after eating I would be nauseated ana would rather have had bad toothachs than the misery caused by the gas on my stomach. The pain seemed to be right where the stomach and intestines join. I really think it was intestinal in digestion; anyway, the suffering was very severe I was thin and had no appe- tite. I had no taste for food and the little I did eat gave me no strength and I was so nervous I could hardly sleep at all.
 "No other medicine ever seemed 10 reach my case, but it's the actual truth the first two doses of Tanlac took re- moved that lump from my stomach and l have not been troubled with it since. After had taken Tanlac for while my husband remarked that I looked so much better, and if feeling better can make anyone look better, I certainly must, be- cause I'm entirely relieved of all the nau- sea and pain and have a splendid appetite and feel good all the time Tanlac has certainly done fine work for me and think it's the best medicine made for people suffering as I did
 Such statements as the foregoing should appeal to the thousands that sui fer from the same troubles. Mrs. Prid- more's troubles were relieved by Tanlac simply because it toned up her vital or gans and enabled her to digest her food properly. In fact, there is not single portion of the body that is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlac, which begins it's work by stimulating the di- gestive and assimilative organs, thereby enriching the blood and invigorating the whole system. Next, it enables the weak, worn-out stomach to thoroughly digest its food, permitting the assimilation of the nourishng products to be converted into blood bone and muscle
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

Weekly attempts to show that from a
geographical distribution of places on
the supreme bensh. Oklahoma is en-
titled to a place. Let us look at IL
in another way. Governor Williams
was Oklahoma's first chief justice
and until he made the race for goF-
ernor. was an associate justice OF the
same court. AS a iurist he has made
an enviable reputation and his decis-
ions have been sustained when liti
gants have seen fit to appeal to the
highest tribunal of the land. AS a
member of the supreme court of q
new State, Governor Williams was
called upon to decide many cases for
which there were no parallel cases OF
record-what are known to the legal
fraternity as cases Of first impress
sion. In his several years expert
ence his decisions we're proven to be
sound, logical and fair, showing the
deepest thought and a broad mind.
As a iurist. Governor Williams is un-
questionably te equal of the best men
in the United States, and deserving OF
place on the supreme bench.

In few words this section would
throw into q common fund all the
taxes for school purposes derived in
Oklaoma from public service corpor-
alton taxes, and these taxes would be
prorated among the various school
districts, according to scholastic pop
ulation. AS Bryan County has three
trunk lines of railway, one pipe line,
and many other large corporations,
the splitting with other counties of
taxes derived from these corpora
tions in Bryan County would deprive
Bryan County of THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS EVERY YEAR which are
now used to educate the children of
the county, and the taking away of
which would cripple our school sys-

At Wewoka Tuesday a Socialist ed
itor was beaten and driven from town
by an enraged populace for uttering
the sentiment that he hoped all the
soldier boys who went to Mexico
would get killed. Such sentiments
cannot be too deeply condemned. The
man who lacks a sense of patriotism
who cannot appreciate the bless
ings of government, loses all right to
protection under that government.
The song hit, "DoA't Bite the Hand
That Feeds You" utters true senti-
ment that every true American fully
endorses. If you don't like your I'm
Gle Sammy. go back where you came
from. No country on the earth offers
such a haven for mankind as does the
United States, and weishOuld so ap-
.preciate that protection of life. liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness that
we should uphold every effort that
tends to strengten that government.
Such sentiments as that Socialist ut
tered are in true keeping with the
policies of that party, however, SC
people are not much surprised. They
teach disrespect for God, governme ent
and the family, three things upon
which civilization is built. and with
out which man would descend to the
stage of animals.
