TOM STR|NGFELLOW
GAINS z POUNDS
Railroad Man Says Tanlac is the
Only Thing That Ever Helped
Him.

If the peope of this town only
knew what Tanlac had done for
me you would sell thousand bot
ties tomorrow" said Tom String
fellow, wellknown employee Of
the Southern Railway, who lives
at l26 East Ninth Street, Annis-
ton, Ala. Mr.. Stringfellow is we'll
known in railway circles and is on
the Atlanta and Birmingham di
vision. His many friends will be
glad to hear of his complete res
toratlon to health.
i suffered from stomach trou-
bic and indigestion for four
years" continued Mr.. Stringfel-
low, and got so l couldn't hard
ly eat anything. l fell off until
| only weighed 119 pounds and
finally got SO weak and rundown
| was on the point of having to
resign my position. To tell you
the truth | just felt like life was
not worth living because | Just
seemed to be getting worse all
the time and nothing seemed ITO
do me any good.
Il would have awful pains. in
my back and kidneys and could
hardly sleep. Two hours each
night would be about all the
sleep | would get. Most always
after eating | would have gas on
my stomach and my heart would
palpitate. I would get weak in
my limbs and have dizzy spells
and would have spots in front of
my eyes.
About month ago l began
reading about Tanlac, and heard
the railroad men talking about it.
Several of my friends had taken
the medicine and said it was a
fine thing for stomach trouble, so
| decided to give it trial. The
first bottle helped me SO much |
kept on taking it and have lust
finished my fifth bottle. When
| weighed the other day | kick
ed The beam at al pounds, and
was so surprised I turned around
to see if some one was not stand
ing on ths scales. Yes, sir, that's
a fact, | had actually gained p
pounds and feel like a we'll man
again for the first time in four
years.
"Tanlac helped me right from
the start, and before | had finish
ed taking the second bottle | got
SO | would eat and sleep and
work as good as anybody. That's
what the medicine did for me and
everybody who knows me will
tell you the same thing. Why, I
can just eat anything now and in
digestion never bothers me a par
ticle any more. | cam sleep good,
too, and teel just fine in every
way. Speaking of eating, my
grocery bills have gone up to al
most double.
Just to show what | think of
the medicine l bought a dozen
bottles today in order to always
have supply on hand. I wouldn't
be without it for anything in the
world"

Frank Takas Loses Children Through Frequent Ap-
 breaches to Bar.

Because the father drinks and will not support his family, five children of Frank Takas and Mary Dobumas were today committed to St. Francis home by Judge Miller in the probate court. Although no marriage cere- mony was ever solemnized for them, the couple has been living together in Bridgeport for 19 years. The family has had nothing to eat for the last 24 hours and Mrs. Mabel L. Goldman the family visitor of the charities depart nent, had to borrow clothing to cover them in order to bring them into court. They had. been living at 427 Osborne street. One boy. Andrew, aged six, possessed only a suit of dark coIored underc1othing. It was neces- sary for Mrs. Goldman to borrow coat, trousers, cap, shoes and stockings for him. The others committed are: Helen, aged 15; Mary, IS; Frank, 12, and Michael, 5. There are two other chiIlren, Steve, aged IT, who works in the American Graphophone Go. fac tory, and Katie. two years old.
 The father of the children object ed to their commitn ent but Mrs. God man told Judge Miller that the fam fly had received aid from the chari- ties department until it was discovered the husband was not working and was getting intoxicated on part of the earnings of his son and his wife. When Mrs. Goldman went to get the children today one hid under a bed and another in closet. The oldest girl, Helen. although 15 years of age, has advanced only as far as the fourth grade in Longfel1ow school. The other children do not attend a school regularly.
 Rev. Stephen Chernitzky, pastor of St. Stephens R. c. church, told Judge Miller that the family had not attended church in 15 years, and that TakaSs is worthless, lazy and a drunk ard.
 After the hearing Judge Miller call ed up Prosecuting Attorney Delaney and requested him to issue a warrant for the arrest of Takas on the ground of non-support. -Takas had told Judge Miller that he had a wife living in Hungary when he came to America He was never divorced he said, and no wedding ceremony was ever per- formed between himself and the wom- an who bore him his children in this country. The children raised such strenuous objection to being separated from their mother that Judge Miller called on City Sheriff Brown to accom- pany Mrs. Goldman to New Haven.
 Steve Takas seemed satisfied to have his father arrested and committed to jail. :
 ''The old man won't work and he spends all the money he can get his hands on for booze'' he said. He asked that the little girl, Katie, aged two, and the boy, Mike. aged five, be allowed to remain with the mother He promised that with the aid of his mother he would support them. Mike. however, was committed to the home with the other children.

It also is understood that the memorandum contends the evidence appended to the late German an nouncement proved that British ships armed ostensibly for defense have been instructed to act, and have acted, extensively and that they are not peaceful traders as the United States was assured they would be by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas- sador.
 The memorandum is also under stood to reiterate the previous declara- tions that submarine warfare was be- gun by Germany in reprisal for the an nounced intention of Great Britain to starve the civilian population of the central empires.
 The memorandum also is under stood to refer to the long standing friendship between the United States and Germany and to express the hope that the American people will, when familiar with the explanations offered fully appreciate the position in which

 WILL HAVE PRO
 RATA INDEMNITY
Counsel For Lusitania' s Vic tim's Estate Awaits State
 Department.

Mrs. Isaac B. Trumbu11, whose hus- band was killed almost a year ago when the Cunard liner Lusitania was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland, will receive a pro rata share of the lump sum to be paid as an indemnity by Germany for American lives lost in the disaster.
 The claim of Mrs. TrumbuH was filed with the State Department sev eraI months ago by Judge E. K. Mich olson With the question of the amount of indemnity practically the only thing standing in the way of a final settlement of the case, Mrs. Trumbu1Is claim should be paid shortly.
 According to Judge Nicholson, the procedure in the awarding of fndem- nifty in such cases is as follows: The disputant governments fix upon a lump sum to be paid as an indemnity This money is transmitted to the proper department of the aggrieved givernment-in this case, the State Department of the United States and it is then apportioned pro rata among the claimants. The division is made on a strictly pro rata basis, every claimant receiving a like share.
 There are more than 100 claims, in behalf of deceased Americans, before the State department.

 FOR UNCLE SAM
Sub Carrier Completes Mail Deliveries After Half
 Hour Unconsciousness.

Unconscious for half an hour after being catapu1ted from his seat on a parcel post delivery wagon that was struck by a southbound trolley car last night, John F. Gou1ding, age 26, a substitute letter carrier, completed his rounds last night, when lie recov- cred his senses. He later went to his home at 23 Wi1mot avenue, where he is in a serious condition today.
 Goulding is Ia substitute. and as such he is assigned. to the collection of mail in the northern part of the city. His route covers all streets north of St. Vincent's hospital. Shortly after 10 o'clock last night he was returning to the post office with large collection of mails.
 He was driving south on Main street He heard the clang of the motorman's s bell on a south bound trolley car near the foot of Hospital hill and he en- deavored to leave the railway. The motorman of the car put on the brakes coming down the hill but they failed to hold and before Gou1ding could swerye clear of the tracks, the trolley car crashed into the rear of the parcel post wagon, oyerturning the vehicle and scattering the mail in all direc- tions. Goulding was catapulted from his seat and he struck headforemost. He was knocked unconscious.
 Pedestrians revived him and he went to St. Vincent's hospital where he re- -ceived treatment. A four inch lacera- ton to the scalp and possible internal injuries were found. Then he com pleted his rounds of collection and brought the mail matter to the post office. He informed his superiors he would be unable to return to work to- day.
 The mail wagon was new vehicle, owned by Walter Stap1eton. and was valued at $250. The horse suffered se- were 1acerations to the fore1egs It was treated by Dr. c. B. Atkins, vet erinarian, who said the animal is not seriously injured.

LIGHTSHIP CREW, ADRlFT IN SMALL BOAT, RESCUED
 BY TRANSPORT CAPTAIN

Fort Terry. N. r., March s-Uncon- scious and almost dead from ex- posture, R. ./Perkins and Walter Wallace of New York, members of the crew of Bartlett's Reef Lightship Quartermaster's steamer General Pickering in small sanboat which was drifting helpless1y in the raging waters of Plum Gut
 The rescue effected by Captain Chas. N. Eglise, of the transport and his men was of the most thrilling char acter. Alfred Greenwood, one of the crew, being nearly. drowned in an attempt to rescue the. men.
 The Pickering was returning from Fort Terry to New London and on passing Bartletts Reef a signal of distress was noted on the lightship. The Pickering ran as close as possible and was informed that two members of the crew were adrift somewhere in the vicinity. After a long search Captain Eglise found the boat tossing about close to the Gut. -.
 The steamer ran up to the sailbOat and discovered the bodies of the two men stretched out in the water which was rapidly filling her. It was impos- sibIe to get close to the sinking craft. The only method available was for seamen of the Pickering to get into theb oat which, in view of the condi- tions was a difficult operation. In en- deavoring to do this Greenwood mis- calculated the distance and leaped into the Sound. He was rescued with difficulty.
 Eventually two of the crew of the Pickering got into the sailboat with lines and the men were hauled on board the transport.
 First aid treatment was given and then the men were brought to New London.
