DR.. EDWARES NOW REG
OMMENDS IT.
Prominent Georgia Physician Now
Gives Master Medicine His I'm
qualified Endorsement.

DR.. J. Il. Edwards, of Fayetteville,
Ga. one OF the best known members
of the medical profession in the state
OF Georgia, make statement that
will undoubtedly produce a profound
impression throughout the South.
In my thirty years of active prac-
tice as licensed physician in the
State of Georgia" says DR., Edwards
/ have never seen anything to equal
Tanlac as a medicine to produce re-
suits. / hear people on all sides tell
ing of the benefits they have derived
from its use.
"TanIac is simply the talk of my
town.
/ have no hesitancy in recommendS
ing the medicine: and as a matter o f
fact, l am prescribing it for my pat
tents almost every day.
Only few days ago well-known
woman of Fayetteville came to me
aud told me about the remarkable
relief her daughter had gained from
the use of this medicine. She said
her daughter had been confined to
her bed for three years with what
had been pronounced pellagra, and
that after using TanIac for a short
time she was able to be about, and
was on the road to recovery.
But this is only one instance. Peo
pie in all walks of life in and around
our little city are giving simuFir in
dorsements to the medicine. Seldom
day passes that someone does not
come to me and say something about
the good results they are getting
from the use Of Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in weight
have been reported by some of our
most prominent people and have
treated some stubborn cases of indi-
gestion, catarrhal conditions and or
ganic disorders and secured splendid
results with Tanlac.
Commenting upon this statement
Mr. q = Willis southern distributor
OF Tanlac, said:
Coming from the high source it
does and especially from a member
of the medical profession this
straightforward utterance of DR.. Ed
wards is more than IA recommend
alton. 1t is q triumph! Tanlac, Ma
lures great vegetable tonic, correct
i've and system builder is truly one
of the greatest discoveries Of the
decade and the best evidence of this
is the confidence and high esteem in
wbich-it is held not only by the
great masses OF the people, but by
leaders and public men everywhere
No other medicine has ever establish
ed the reputation Tanlac has nor has
any other received the high indorse-
ment ofmedical men and laity.
Tanlae is sold in Philadelphia by
City Drug Store, In Stallo by Stallo
Drug Co, In Union by Union Drug
Store.

THANKS FOR WHAT?

For what should we give thanks
when answerln g the presidents
proclamation, we stand before
the high altar of faith next Thurs
day to make confession of our
debt to Providence?
Shall we remember the ma
terial things that have come to
us the good crops, the increased
business, the growing bank ac-
count? Yea, verify for if God pro
spers us he expects us to acknowl
edge it.
Shall we if times have been
hard and benefits small remem,
Der that at least we have not suff
cred, that the wolf has only
scratched at the door, not gained
an entrance? Yea, verify for il
God has clothed and fed us we
should acclaim His goodness.
Shall We remember that we
have been we'll and strong dur
ing the year or if we have been
sick that we passed through the
shadow Of pain triumphantly and
came out into the sunlight of
peace and well-being Yea, verify
for if God saved us from the
grip of suffering we should make
our oteisance to Elm.
But these are not all of which
we should offer our sacrifice Of
thank saving.
These are the outward and
visible husks of the inner life of
love and charity for which even
more of gratitude is due.
The thing for which we should
give the deepest thanks is the
growth of spirit during the year
the broadening of our human
itarianism, the reaching out of
helpfulness the quickening OF
our sympathies the sottening Of
our enmities and animosities.
If, during the year, we have
put aside a desire to retaliate for
wrong if We have conquered a
wish and an opportunity to gloat
over and enemys disaster; ii no
man or woman is the worse for
our criticism because, with Spar
ia like fortitude, we have closed
our lips and refused to speed
onward the tale Of gossip: if,
through US, no man has faltered
on the upgrade of duty end no
woman has lost faith in the truth
and beauty of life ii these things
have come to pass, then these

The gag rule" laid on naval officers
by Secretary Daniels did not prevent
Lieutenant Commander F.. 7. Jessop
last night from denouncing the doc
trine of peace at any price az "the doc
trine of the yellow cur
Commander JessOp, who commanded
the United States cruiser Tennessee
when she carried American gold abroad
for American refugees at the opening
Of the war, spoke his mind at a dinner
of the Marine transportation Men in
the Hotel Breslin.
NO man has a right TO say that the
legitimate business Of a citizen should
not carry him abroad" ne said; "and IT
is the duty Of his government TO pro-
tect him i'm foreign countries 50 long as
he obeys their laws.
"The pacifist doctrine denying this is
nothing more than the assertion that d
man must keep under cover for fear
he should get hurt"
Commander Jessop also said that the
American navy, judged by the techni-
cal rule that each battleship should
have the supper, Of not less than fl
teen cruisers and destroyers, falls far
short of the standard.

WORK OF WILSON
PRAISED BY OWEN
Oklahoma Senator Stands by
Record of His Party.

Concord, y. H.. March 16.-Work Of
the executive and legislative branches
Of the Federal government under
Democratic control was praised by Sen
ator Robert l.. Owen. of Oklahoma, at
a Jackson Day dinner Of New Hamp-
shire Democrats here tonight.
Senator owen took up important
measures passed by Congress since the
Inauguration Of President Wilson and
said:
"All these bills-the tariff bill, the
Federal reserve act, the Clayton anti
trust bill, the Federal Trade Commits
sion bill. the seaman's act-have had
one purpose. the promotion OF the com
mon good, the abatement OF monopoly,
the betterment Of mankind, the lower
ing Of the cost Of living and the
greater happiness of all our people,
perhaps the greatest accomplish
ment. the one for which our people arc
more deeply grateful than any other,
is that the President has kept US out OF
war and In a condition OF profound
peace, while all the world besides seems
torn with war or internal violence. IN
der extreme provocation the President
has nevertheless used his great powers
and his great influence against any act
that would involve the people OF the
United States in war, either with the
weakest of our neighbor nations or
with the strongest nations of the world,
such as Great Britain and Germany.
both OF whom, because of the excite
ment end stress of life and death
struggle, have dsregarded in various
WAYS the international law and our
legal rights. An Administration less
wise and less thoughtful might easily
have been swept into war with Mexico,
with Germany and Austria. or with
Great Britain and it's Allies"

Alumni Organ Calls LowelFs
Action unfortunate"
lbs Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Cambridge, Mass, March 16.-Presi-
dent Lowell of Harvard, in a letter 20
the Harvard Alumni Bulletin" de-
tends his stand in signing petition
opposing the confirmation Of Louis d..
Brandeis as justice of the Supreme
Court. "The Bulletin" editorially be-
lieves that the presidents attitude was
unfortunate, few lawyers having been
honored By Harvard as Mr. Brandels
has.
"On the issue of party politics have
carefully -bstained from publicity, but
when a question arises whether or not
n man has the character which a great
republic office ought to require | be
lieye that the president Of Harvard
should be at liberty 10 join in pro-
test against mis- confirmation" Presi-
dent Lowell writes.
The Bulletin" holds that President
Lowells signing of the petition was
unfortunate. "The Bulletin" COM
ments: "The public regards Mr.. Lowell
as the president Of Harvard; he speaks
TO a unique degree for the university:
To do this. in any acute division Of
public sentiment, is difficult. In the
present highly complicated circum-
stances It is well nigh impossible"

JITNEYS WORRY RAILROAD
West Jersey Line Loses Nearly Half
OF Income Through Competition.

An increase Of twenty-six per cent
In taxes and a loss OF nearly fifty
per cent in the income from lease Of
road as a result Of jitney competition
IN Atlantic City are the features Of
the annual report Of the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad for 1915, made
public yesterday.
The railroad, a subsidiary Of the
Pennsylvania. carried 665.646 more
tons of freight than IN 1914 and in
creased its gross earnings si69,sS5,
but the final balance for the payment
Of dividends on the stock and the i'm
provement OF the property was only
slS.s25 greater than in the previous
year.
The report makes a plea for such
equitable regulation of the jitney traf-
fc in Atlantic City as will enable the

Of frequent and high standard Of

BIG CANAL SLIDES
NEAR END, SAY EXPERTS
Committee Recommends Drain
age and Vegetation.

Washington, March l6 Navigation
through the Panama Canal is not likely
again 10 be seriously interrupted by
slides, and realization of the great
purpose for which the waterway was
constructed is assured in the near fut-
uro, according 10 the finding OF com
mittee OF scientists appointed by the
National Academy of Sciences at the
request of President Wilson TO investi-
gate the problem. While the commit
tee realizes that slides may be q con-
siderable maintenance charge upon the
canal for a number of years, II be
lievos there will be little trouble
when present difficulties have been
overcome.
A summary of preliminary report
by the committee was made public to-
day at the White House. Excessive
rainfall was found TO be one Of the
chief causes for the slides and control
Of the falling water was the most
important remedy suggested. The COM
mittee made detailed recommends
lions for the prevention Of slides. Will
lam II. Welch, president Of the Acad-
envy, transmitted the preliminary re-
port.
After discussing the rock compost

aging S76S inches a year. the report
says:
"A consideration OF the earthquakes
felt in the canal zone and a careful
examination of the instrumental rec
ords kept near the Pacific end Of the
canal since the end Of 1908 dispel fear
Of serious damage TO the canal or its
accessories by earthquakes. There is
no evidence that anv of the slides have
been started or increased by earth
ouakes."
The greatest trouble, it is stated. IS
caused by the heavy rainfall. The
committee then says II believes that
every available and practicable device
should be used TO turn the water fall
ing as rain from ground that Is slid
ing and prevent its entering adjacent
ground II suggests covering slopes
with vegetation, closing peripheral
cracks, drainage of undisturbed and
threatened areas. drainage of the great
slides and sluicing.
