WAS HARDLY ABLE
TO TURN OVER IN BED
Mrs. Collins Friends All
Talking About Her Won
derful Recovery

MY wife began suffering and going
down hill ten years ago and her condi-
ton kept getting more serious until she
started on Tanlac, said J. S. Collins a
well known farmer, living on Gilmore
avenue, Route /, Box 53-D, in his state
ment a few days ago
Its the honest truth" he continued,
my wife has only been taking Tanlac
about two weeks and many of her friends
have already spoken about how much
brighter and better she looks. She had
stomach trouble so bad she couldn't eat
a thing without awful distress afterward
Her kidneys caused her great deal of
worry and she was so nervous and restless
she couldn't sleep hardly at all. She would
have hot feverish spells followed with
cold sweats and she had that all-gone,
tired out feeling all the time. Finally she
got In such bad shape she couldn't turn
herself in bed without suffering terrible
pains in her back and sides. Her condi-
ton had become alarming and it had
begun to look like there was nothing that
would help her.
"A good friend OF ours advised my wife
to take Tanlac and it certainly was the
right thing for her. She began showing
Improvement almost as soon as she
started taking it and L can see she is
getting better every day. She now eats
hearty and enjoys everything she eats.
She's not nervous like she was and her
sleep is sound and restful. She has been
relieved of the pains in her back and
sides and her kidneys don't trouble her
like they did. She is just now on
her second bottle and If she continues to
improve like she has in the past few days
1t will only be a short time until she'll be
as well and stout as she ever was. We
all feel good at my house over getting
something to relieve her of those ten
years of dreadful suffering and we'll
always have a good word for Tanlac."

White Rose, Emblem of
Purity, Is Adopted By
State Prohibition Party

Montgomery, September 7-(Special)
A white rose, the emblem of the prohibit
ton party in Alabama, was filed with
the secretary Of state today and will APP
pear on all ballots at the general cleo
ton in November. One hundred and fifty
cuts of the emblem were sent to the
secretary of state by A. F. Lokey of Biz
mingham, chairman of the prohibition
party of Alabama, for distribution among
the probate judges in compliance with
the law.
This flower was adopted by the party
owing to it being the symbol of purity
and it's adoption has bit of history
Several months ago Mr.. Lokey wrote Sec
rotary of State Purifoy seeking informa-
ton regarding the requirements for a
party to get it's emblem on the ballots
in Alabama, and incidentally asked Judge
Purifoy to suggest an emblem Judge
Purifoy answered by suggesting the white
rose, emblematic of purity. 1t was adopted
and Mr.. Lokey thanked Judge Purifoy
profusely.
The prohibition party has no candidates
in the field for the state or county Of

principally to the presidential race. Some
