Health Restored and is
Back on His Old Run
Again.

nine years old and by profession am

ular run on the work train between
Selma and Mobile.
Cup to only a few months ago
that is up to the time [ started tax
ing Tanlac-my health was broken
down completely. When | COM
menced taking Tanlac I only weighed
one hundred and three pounds and
hadn't been able to work for fifteen
months Now after taking only
three and one-half bottles of Tanlac
weigh one hundred and seventy
one pounds and have actually
gained sixty-eight pounds, and never
felt better in my life.
81 suffered for several years with
the worst kind of stomach trouble
and constipation. l kept dropping
down in weight and losing strength,
and finally [ broke down completely.
L had several attacks of what was
called acute poisoning Of the stomach
and nobody knows how I suffered.
Il took treatment at the Marine
Hospital at Algiers, La, and at Tu-
lane Hospital, New Orleans. I also
took treatmenti at Hot Springs, Ark,
and Lookout Mountain. To tell you
the truth 1 tried everything you
could think Of and spent hundreds
of dollars, but 4 just kept going
down hill, and for fifteen whole
months l was unable to run my
engine or to do any other kind of
work
"Of course, I was awfully dis
couraged about myself as ! could see
but little hope of ever being well
again. While l was sick and unable
to work brakeman gave me a half
bottle Of Tanlac. I took it and [
begun to feel better right away. My
stomach felt better and I got so I
could eat and enjoy my meals.
"When this was gone J bought
another bottle and after finishing it
felt SO much better I went back to
work On a switch engine. I could
just feel myself gaining in weight
and getting stronger every day, and
after taking my second bottle I went
back to running an engine on the
main line
CHOW since taking three and one
half bottles I am working regular,
running q work train between Selma
and Mobile, the sWampiest country
in this section Of the state.
"NOW what I have told you is the
truth and hundreds of people who
know me and who know how looked
before took Tanlac will tell you the
same thing. Another thing you can
see from my picture, which I had
taken while I was sick, how much
stronger and healthier I look now
than I did then.
''They can say what they please
about Tanlac and patent medicines,
but can truthfully say that Tan
lac is the only medicine that ever
did me any good and I want every
body to know about it. If people
don't. believe you just tell them to
come and look at me now and then
look at my picture that was taken
while was sick. I will show them
mighty quick what Tanlac has done
for me-"

Parliamentary Under Secretary for For
eign Affairs, told the House of Com
mons to-day that the British govern
ment had received information that
British civilian prisoners informed at

and 100000 marks which should be
spent for food.
Lord Robert declared that if the Ger

3 ARMIES FIGHT
FOR ARAB REBELS
Uprising Carefully Plan
ned by Grand Sheriff
of Mecca.

London, June 26.--Accounts Of the
uprising against the Turks in Arabia
show that the operations which re-
suited in the capture of the principal
seaports and other cities by the rebels
apparently were carefully conceived
al systematically carried out.
II appears from news received in
Cairo, says Reuters correspondent in
that city, that the Grand Sheriff of
Mecca raised three armies, the COM
mands of which he gave to his three
eldest sons.
The first Of these, under Sheriff
Forisae, is besieging Medina, the city
containing the tomb of Mahomet; the
second, under Sheriff Abdulls, occupied
Taft, sixty-hve miles southeast OF
Mecca, making prisoners of most of
the garrison; the third captured Jid-
dan, the chief seaport of Arabia, i'm
prisoning its defenders.
While besieging Jiddah the Arabian
forces warned the garrison not TO de-
stroy its arms and ammunition, and
consequently a battery of field guns
numerous rifles and quick frers and a
great quantity of ammunition were
captured
Apparently, says the dispatch, the
Grand Sheriff and his followers decided
70 suppress all traces of the Turks in
their country, cutting the telegraph
lines, tearing up the roadbed of the
Hijaz Railway and destroying the sta
tons for nearly ono hundred miles 10
the north in order TO prevent the Turks
firm sending reinforcements.
1t is related, adds the correspondent
that when Enver Pacha visited Hija7
five months ago the Grand Sheriff told
him he was an ignorant youth, who
had dragged Turkey TO her destruction
The news from Syria shows that the
Turks are hurrying up reinforcements
over the Hijaz Railway. The fight at
Medina is likely TO be protracted, as
the garrison is fairly strong and well
equipped.
The Turkish military authorities, the
dispatch adds. are taking the affair in
the most serious fashion. In Egypt
the news from Mecca has aroused more
attention than any other event in the
war.

tested vigorously against a proposed
measure for increased taxation for the
duration Of the war, while the nom
Socialists apparently were willing 20
foot the bills only until the end Of The
fiscal year Of 1917.
Herr Strobel Socialist, according to
the "Vorwaerts'" account of the SEES
sion. demanded 70 know what sane
person believed that the war would
last a year. He made a vehement pro-
test against the people being burdered
with fresh indirect taxation after thei-
sacrifices Of blood and treasure sni
also their sacrifice of health, owing TO
what he termed the present ruinous
food prices.
He accused the drsfters Of the bill
Of intending to save the classes from
further direct taxation by ssddling the
masses with the burden of Indirect
taxes.
IF the classes were made 20 pay
six milliards of marks direct taxes as
in England, we would have peace to-
morrow" the speaker asserted.
Herr Strobel demanded that an end
be made Of this "senseless murder of
nations" by a sensible arrangement,
else, he predicted, both the Prusslan
House and Prussian Junkerdom were
doomed to destruction.

Immediate consideration of food prob

motor vehicle accidents at railroad
grade crossings. Grade crossings are
unavoidable. lney are one of the in
conveniences Of progress, to be elm
mated just as rapidly as practicable.
The railroads are doing their best, but
1t takes time and great deal of
money.
No matter what safeguards we
throw about your grade crossings, our
labor is in vain without your help. All
signs, bells. whistles, gates and flag
men are helpless before an automo-
bile drivers recklessness.
For the purpose of observing the
care exercised by drivers of motor
vehicles this company placed men at
a large number of grade crossings on
this line. Their observations were
startling. OF $500 drivers So per
cent looked neither way before cross
ing railroad track, 80 per cent looked
one way only, and but 174 drivers, or
fifty-two one hundredths of per cent,
actually stopped their machines before
crossing.
From these actual observations It
is apparent that men of undoubted in
telligence choose to risk life and limb
rather than wait a few minutes to let
a train pass.
Because you once took a chance
at grade crossing and ran your auto.
mobile safely In front of an approach
ing train, do not trust to luck that you
can do it again.
Trains must run on tracks and on
time. Their operators have no choice
of routes. But the automobilist can
choose and regulate his rate of speed.
IF drivers OF motor vehicles would
always ass ciate the sight of a grade
crossing with the instant application
of their motors brakes, accidents to
automobiles at grade crossings would
soon be scarce. May we urge that you
let the sign of grade crossing in
stantly convey to you the warning to
slow down or stop? It is habit as
easily acquired as your obedience to
the traffic policeman's appraised hand.
