LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, September 22-(special.) ) Richard H. Yancey, Jr., who, though of Nashville, is equally as well known in Birmingham. has just appeared upon tn. scene here in charge of the publicity end of the Wilson Business Mems National league which has established headquar- ters at 2sO Madison avenue, and is doing an effectual work in the interests of the democratic candidate.
 MT. Yancey is making good with rush in this new field, and is even now rub ping elbows with the biggest of them and getting away with it. as our pe- culiar parlance explains success. He has corps of stenographers and other as sistants, and the literature that is going forth is reaching all parts of the coun- try.
 MT. Yancey states that he is greatly encouraged over the prospects of MT. Wllsons reelection, and he says this after he has felt the political pulse in the east. He declares that the business mon, here as we'll as elsewhere, have reached the conclusion that the over rated war orders prosperity is losing force. In other words he claims that the business men realize that their pros perity, and that of the country at large. is due far more to the economic demo- cratic administration under President Wilson
 The league which he represents here is formed from volunteers. They are busi- ness men who donate their mite to the cause, of their own free will and without being urged to do so. They believe that the reelection of the President will mean far more to each of them than would q republican administration at this time.
 MT. Yancey had occasion the other day to put through a little publicity deal with Mark Sullivan He did this after the most approved and successful fashion, but was told: You are not New Yorker, MT. Yancey?" He immediately admitted that he was not; did so with evident pride, in fact, and afterward told me, T don't want to look like a New Yorker I have observed already that get farther by being frankly, as well as apparently a southerner."
 And that's little fact that it takes a great many southerners months to learn up here. In fact, some of them do not learn it until after they have more or less successfully aped the Manhattan voice and manner, and then they spend more months regretting that they have lost nearly all their pardonable provinc- ialisms, and have become nondescript
 However, that's not talking politics, and it did look, at the outset, as if this were going to be a political story. !" Fact is, ths'e is lot of others here who are talking politics, and talking them so loud that just from hearing street conversations I have often won dered if MT. Hughes and his followers are not greatly annoyed just now.

MRS. ANNIE MILES ; GAINS 29 POUNDS
 BY TAKING TANLAC
Doctored and Took Medicine for 20 Years, But Was Getting Worse All
 the Time

In describing her 20 years of suffering and wonderful recovery by the use of Tanlac, Mrs. Annie Miles, residing at 14l5 Evergreen avenue, Jacksonville, Fla, said:
 T am g pounds heavier than I was when I began taking Tanlac and 1 sim ply feel like a new woman in every way. I began suffering with stomach trouble and indigestion nearly 20 years ago. l began doctoring and taking med 1cine, but in place of getting better I kept getting worse. I lost my appetite and I could get nothing to bring it back. I had to almost force down everything l would eat and nothing tasted right to me. 1 suffered terribly from the gas on my stomach and my food seemed to do me harm in place of good. I was badly constipated and suffered with dizzy headaches nearly all the time. I was so nervous I could hardly sleep and would get up in the mornings with an awful taste in my mouth and feeling worse than when I lay down at night. l kept falling off until weighed only 120 pounds and was so weak and out of heart I real ly felt like l would never be well again.
 T bought Tanlac on account of what one of my neighbors told me it had done for her, and it's the truth, I began feel ing better at once. My appetite came back to me and in just a few days I could tell l was gaming III WelSnt. 1 kept taking Tanac and my troubles kept getting less severe every day. I have gone up to 149 pounds-an actual gain of 29 pounds-and I feel as well as 1 did before my troubles began 20 years ago. All that disagreeable taste is gone: I eat hearty of anything I want and l relish all my meals. I'm not nervous in the least and I sleep like a child all night and get up in the mornings feeling fine Tanlac has made me strong and well and 1 certainly feel very thankful for it
