mrs. GREGORY SAYS
HER PEOPLE WROTE
HER TO TAKE IANLAC
Jacksonville Woman Felt Tired and
Miserable All the Time Before
Taking Tanlac-Feels Fine Now

MY people in Western Florida
wrote me TO take Tanlac for my trou-
BILE, and that why I'm we'll woman
today" said Mrs. V. H. Gregory,
2S22 Fisher street, whose husband
is with the construction department
of the Standard Oil Company, sta
toned in Jacksonville.
Mrs. Gregory is modest, refined
little woman, and has great many
friends in this city. Like a great
many others Of her sex she shrinks
from publicity, but feels it her duty
to let other suffering women know
just what this exceptional medicine
has done for her.
81 had pains in my limbs all the
time, she continued, land was in
terrible run down condition. 1t just
seemed like | couldn't digest any
thing, and | would have bad indiges-
ton and severe pains in my stomach
until 1t was simply impossible for me
to get the proper strength and nour-
ishment from my food.
81 was habitually constipated and
couldn't sleep at all at night. My
limbs not only panied me a great
deal but were actually swollen at
times. In the daytime would feel
tired and too weak and miserable to
do any work and my color was very
bad.
II read some statements about
Tanlac in the papers, but my people
in the western part of the State, who
knew about my condition, kept writ
ing and saying so much about the
medicine that / decided to give it
good test and see if it would help
me. Nothing could have been better,
for it fitted my needs exactly. In
fact, my Improvement has been re-
markable and more rapid than ! ever
drained it would be.
81 have taken only two bottles, but
all the pains and swellings have
gone entirely and l feel a hundred
per cent better just every way. My
complexion has cleared up and am
gaining strength and weight every
day. / sleep fine now and get up in
the mornings feeling fresh ad rested.
l certainly did find the right medi-
cine this time. Tanlac is truly won
derful and too much cannot be said
about it."

Those Noisy Musicians.

During the concert man who really

such a noise with their instruments

Benson, leaning against q pillar in
the background of the little mining
camp saloon theater, looked on with
disgust. All about him the cowboys
were riotously applauding. He, Ben

life. He had again and again meditat-

decided to give the show another
chance.
"Hurrah! Bully for you, Harry"
yelled the cowboys.
Benson looked toward the stage.
Harry Saunders was certainly imper-
sonating a woman well. His skirt
dance was inimitable. His voice, his
gestures conveyed the Illusion com

ing.
why can't he stick to the sex God
made him?" he muttered contemptu-
ously. Touring the country and show

hustling for living like-like me-"
And, glancing toward his patient
horse, tethered outside the saloon
among score of others, he thought
of the hard, brown earth from which
he had so painfully wrung a living
during five years.
But he thought, too. of the distant
mountains, in their glory of blue and
crimson, when the sun rose; of the
desert wind, the loneliness of the vast
spaces. There was peace. at least.
II was a fool to have come here"
said Benson.
Nevertheless, he strobe up to the
bar and ordered drink, more to salts

Lotteries are against the law in the
United States. They were prohibited
hy law in New York and Massachu-
sets in 1888. and in most OF the other
states in the next two decades. The
Louisiana lottery was abolished in
1880, and the same year the United
States congress made lottery adver-
usements and registered letters for
lotteries in the mails Illegal; in 1884
congress prohibited the importation Of
lottery tickets or advertisements into
he United States.

INSURANCE BILL IS PASSED
Representative Harvey Is Still
Asking For An Investi-
cation.

Frankfort, KY, March AT the
urgent request of Republican men,
bers, both branches of the general
assembly have adjourned until Thurs
day morning. The adjournment is to
permit members of the minority to
attend the state convention of their
party at Louisville tomorrow. Many
Democrats also will visit the Repub-
lican gathering.
The Huffaker substitute for the
Glenn insurance bill passed the senate
81 to 1, Montgomery casting the dis
senting vote. In explaining his vote,
Senator Frost said he cannot indorse
all that is in the bill, but thinks that
some insurance legislation is neces-
sary' on account of the drastic legis-
lation passed by the last general as
sembly along that line. Since that
time the insurance companies, he
said, have been working under flag
of truce, and if some kind of legisla-
ton is not passed, that truce will be
withdrawn and the insurance COM
panies probably will withdraw from
the state.
Although voting for the measure,
Senator Stricklett said it Is too favor
able for insurance companies. In
fact, he said, it is Just as favorable to
the insurance companies as the bill
passed two years ago was favorable
to the insurer. The Huffaler bill,
Senator Stricklett said, appeared to
him to be gotten up for the benefit Of
the insurance companies.
The bill to provide for interest
bearing state warrants with specified
date of maturity, after being amend
ed, passed unanimously. The amend
ment added was offered by Senator
Combs, who explained that it was
drawn by the general counsel OF the
federal reserve board to permit the
federal reserve banks to compete for
state warrants. Under the bill, as
drawn, the federal banks could not
be competitors, he said.
Representative w. b. Harvey, OF
Webster county, again demanded that
he be given a square deal and an
immediate investigationof the charges
against his moral character be made.
A fellow member of the house, j. D.
Humphreys, of Fleming county, said
that Harvey had made an attack on a
chambermaid at the Capital hotel.
II is probable the committee OF six
divided equally between friends OF
Harvey and Humphreys will proceed
with the investigation without naming
a seventh man, as neither seems able
to agree on referee.

Slaughter of Turks in Forts
of Erzerum.

London, March With the les
SEEMING of the activity of the contend
ing forces to the north of Verdun, the
French in the Woevre region, east of
Verdun, are using their artillery to
break up German preparations for
further advances toward the fortress.
AT various points the fire of the
French guns has prevented the Ger
mans from launching offcnsivcs.
In the Vosges mountains there also
has been great artillery activity by the
French near Senones and Ban-de-
Sapt; while near Seppois the Germans
have been driven out Of trenches
they had previously taken In the
Champagne, the German fortified
works in the region of hill 1873 have
been battered by the French guns and
the crater of a mine exploded by the
Germans was occupied by the
French.
The Germans have added several
additional points to their terrain in the
Verdun, having been enabled to con-
struct trenches on the slopes north OF
the Cote du Poivre and to capture an
.armored work northwest of Douau-
mont, and have taken the towns of
Manheulles and Champion, thirteen
miles southeast OF Verdun.
Tn this drive to the west Of Verdun,
the advance OF the Germans has eX-
tended over front virtually twelve
lmiles-from Dieppe to Champion.
Berlin reports that thus far they

I557 men and a large number Of guns,
machine guns and much war material.
There has been considerable artil-
| lery activity and fights in the air be-
tween battaIons OF German and Brit
ism ayiators, along the British front in
France and Belgium.
In the Dyinsk region of Russia, the
Russians have driven the Germans
back and advanced their line, and put
down under heavy fire an attempt at
"a counter attack.
In a lengthy statement, in reply to
an official communication issued from
Constantinople, the Russian general
staff describes the powerful defenses
which guarded Erzorum, and de-
clares that the force of the blow dealt
| by the Russians can be estimated by
the fact that some of the Turkisharmy
corps OF three divisions each now
number only a few thousand, all the
remainder having either persisted or
been taken prisoner.
Details are lacking concerning the
disaster to the French auxiliary cruis-
er Provence, which has been lost in
the Mediterranean. While the French
ministry Of marine estimates the num-
Der of survivors at $40, no estimate is
made of the casualties.

His father called him Fatty,
