SOUTH GEORGIA MAN
SAYS He COULD NOT
DRINK HIS COFFEE
w. T CRAWFORD, OF OCILLA
GA, SAYS HIS HANDS WE'RE
SO SHAKY AND TREMBLY IT
WOULD SPILL FROM THE
CUP.

One OF the strongest evidences of the
rapidly growing popularity of Tanlac
and OF the wonderful results it is ac-
compllshing is the large number of
letters that are being received daily
from well known men and women
throughout the south.
On yesterday alone, letters were re-
cclved from three states from grateful
users of Tanlac, and their statements
are, indeed, remarkable.
Among the number was the follow
ing letter from w. F. Crawford a ue11
known farmer who lives at Della, Ga
HIS letter follows; k.ll,::szREzza
Ocilla, Ga, 3-15-l6.
Mr. G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sri suffered a general nerv-
Gus breakdown, or that is what the
doctors pronounced my case. | had
worked hard all of my life till about
year ago, then quit off.
1 was very nervous and restless and
couldn sleep at night. Ny hands
were SO shaky or tremb1y, | could
hardly hold a newspaper steady
enough to read. When | would 90 70

the coffee would shake from the crn
bought Tanlac because I had
heard SO much good it was doine
Others in my condition, and from the
advice of my local druggist. After
using two bottles of Tanlac I am now
able to pass coffee to my mouth as
good as anybody. My nerves are
as steady as they were when I was
a young man,
am now proud to recommend Tan
lac to anybody suffering any nervous
disturbance, whatever, because it has
done me a world of good, and think
that 1t is the best medicine in the
world, and | feel like everybody ought
to know about it, that it might re-
Iieve other poor, nervous men and
women.

been a farmer all my life. Worked
hard, but | tell you l like doing some
more of it now. If you doubt this. lust
visit my son, A. T. Crawford, at Ocil-
la, Ga, and see for yourself.
w, F. CRAWFORD.
Commenting on Mr. .Crawford's
statement, Mr.. G. F. Willis, southern
distributor of Tanlac said:
Il consider the above statement one
OF the most remarkable that has ever
come under my observation. 1t is abb
solutely unique in its straightforward
ness and sincerity.
when people grow to the ripe old
age of Mr.. Crawford their digestive
organs lack vitality and begin to act
more slowly and less effectively than
in youth; the circulation becomes Door
and the blood gets thin, the appetite
tails and the digestion grows weak.
"Ianlac, the powerful reconstruc-
tive tonic. is the strength and BODY
builder for old folks, because it ere
ates an appetite, strengthens digestion
nervousness, and it naturally builds up

discussion, and as councilman after

strong but understandable terms
there was left no doubt as to the per

Councilman Burnett based his
vote on the moral issue, claim ing
that two pool rooms are sufficient
and that an additional one would be
but one more place to watch for law
violations and indiscretions concern
ing the admittance of minors. He
placed the welfare OF Pullman S
youth far above the interests of any
one citizen. His views were en-
dCrsed by Councilman Duthie. Coun-
Gilman Nye suggested the abolish
ment of all the pool emporiums and
the installation of one such estab-
lishment by the city, to be under mu-
nicipal control, thus alternating the
possibility of law violations and pro-
tecting the city youth, and at the
same time producing a substantial

transfer was made in record time.
Work began at 1900 o'clock in the

old fixtures were used, but the new
office is much more conveniently ar
ranged and better appointed than
the old. While the lobby is not as
large there is plenty OF room and the
space allotted to the working force
is much better lighted and more con-
veniently arranged than in the old

These few lines from the trans
cript of council proceedings of last
Tuesday evening tell the story of the
incidents that led up to one of the
most spirited discussions in the his
tory OF Pullman's municipal affairs,
d discussion that did not confine it
self to the council chambers but was
apparent in increasing volume on the
streets and in public places the fol-
lowing day. The councilmen were
grilled, roasted and cussed by some
for Inconsistency and unfairness;
others patted them on the back and
commended them for their stand for
morality.
The action brought Pullman closer
to the turbulent days of years gone
by, which ended abruptly when the

vote, than anything that has tran
spired since that time After all, it
has but served to cause Pullman's
citizens to take an interest in munich

q. Aeedham, representing the own
cts OF the building now occupied by

and Lee Allen, has been in the city
Tor several weeks making plans for
the remodeling of the property and
securing tenants. The plans have
how reached Il stage where they can
be made public The front, east
and south walls of the building will
be virtually torn out and replaced
with large plate glass windows, with
piers between them covered with
white stucco AS noted in another
column. the First National bank has
leased the room on the corner OF
Main and Alder streets, 25x70 feet.
Thorpe Smoke House has leased the

expense will be spared All the
rooms will be finished in red gum

bedrooms, which, in connection with
the office and cafe on the first floor,
would give Pullman one of the hand
soonest and best appointed hotels in
this section of the state. The whole
building will be heated by steam or
electricity.
Just as soon as the Emerson Mer-
camille company moves out on Sep

building will begin and be rushed to
completion before winter starts. Ac-
cording to the plans which Mr.. Need
ham has had prepared, the building
