J. |. CoXWELL WAS
NOT even able TO
TURN OVER IN BED
Helpless With Rheumatism for
Years. "Discoverer of Tanlac Will
Be Rewarded" He Says

What is probably one of the most
unusual as we'll as the most power
full statements ever given proprie-
ttary medicine is contained in an I'M
solicited letter forwarded to The
lAndalusia (Ala.) Star by J. L. Cox
well, for twenty-three years a citi-
zen of Bradley, Escambia county,
and now q citizen Of Covington, Ala.
Following is his statement just as it
was written:
Sixteen years ago / contracted
About twelve years
ago I became helpless and was near
ly all the time confined to my bed.
The local doctors done everything
they could for me, but l got only
temporary relief. Our family physi-
clan treated me all through my suf-
fering and did me more good than
any of the Others, but I went to Bay
Minette and stayed month under
rheumatism doctor, and also stayed
month with a doctor at Mason,
Ccvington county. I then gwent to
Pensacola, Fla, and was treated
three months by specialists there,
and l came back here in worse
condition than when left home.
81 don't see how any one can suf-
fer as I have and live. Six months
ago I was taken worse and was suf-
lfering with severe pains lal the time.
II couldn't eat anything hardly and
it / did I couldn't digest it. I got
to where / didn't want anything to
eat, and at last / got 80 bad off l
couldn't bear to be, turned over in
bed. I had to lay on my left side
for two months and I was nothing
but skin and bones.
cat last my father heard about
Tanlac and write to G. M. Virgins.
Tax Collector Of Covington county,
to go to Riley's Drug Store and get
a bottle and send it by parcel post,
which he did. l commenced taking
it as soon as it got here, but had
no hope at the time that would be
living long. After three days the
pains begun to- leave me and be-
gan to get hungry and soon got to
where / could eat anything and ev-
|erything l eat agrees with me.
1--WE got two more bottles at Fall
CO, Ala, and / am now taking the
fourth, and today actually sat up
on the side of my bed and I spent
two hours in my rolling chair. I'm
now able to play my violin and pick
the guitar and eat everything they
give me.
"I wish knew how much
weighed before I begun taking Tan
lac, for I am satisfied I've gained
thirty pounds or more. hope this
statement will be published for the
sake of others. I feel like l can't
give enough praise to Tanlac and
the one who discovered 1t, but he
will be rewarded anyway.

day 1t is a satisfactory answer to
these critics of the Texas troops.
Men Responded Promptly.

THE adjutant general of the army.
H. r. Mccain, told me today that he
had a telegram in his office from Fun
ston's headquarters. saying that 1854
men had been mustered into the serv-
ice up to the hour at which that tele-
gram was dispatched.
Now word as to delay. Some of
these Texas guardsmen had to travel
twentyfour hours on fast trains to
reach the rendezvous at Fort Sam
Houston. Naturally they needed a day
or so at home to adjust their personal
AFFAIRS. and then remember the dis
rance they had to travel Keep in mind
that they are citizens, not profess
sional soldiers. and were engaged in all
sorts of work and had business ties
that could not be broken in five min
utee.
The mobilization was ordered on the
9Th OF May. and on Saturday. the 2eth of
citizen soldiers of Texas had been ex-
amined by the medical officers and
passed, had signed the roll, and then
mustered into the service. Any hang
ing back there as has been untruthful-
~ charged The transfer of Texas
troops commanded by Gov. FERGUSON
to service with the United States under
the command of Woodrow Wilson in
volved a lot of clerical work which
cannot be done in minute. The en-
listment of the physically unfit must
be prevented for the general good of
the service and for the protection of
the Treasury through the needless
growth of the pension list"

Representative SIayden
Defends Texas Militia
in Speech Before House

Statements that the National Guard
of Texas has made a poor showing in
assembling troops along the border at
the call Of the President were denied
yesterday in the House by Representa-
tive Slayden of Texas. The Texas rep
resentative said that a year ago the
strength of the Texas guard was 1926.
and that at the Presidents call 1000
men responded.
"of this number" he said. Tess than 3
per cent were not inclined to agree to
serve in the army for an indefinite
period. Let it be remembered on be-
half of these men that they have wives
and children dependent on their earn
ings Many of them have meager earn
ings at best and when the head of the
family quits earning the bread supply
Of the family is in actual danger.
Now, without knowing the condi-
tions in each case. the peculiar obliga-
tons of each man, you and I. Mr..
Chairman. and the members of this
House are not in a position to judge of
that matter. Let US be charitable, and
let us keep our minds on the fact that
the whole of the Texas National Guard
did assemble on the call of the Presi-
dent, and with a promptness that has
caused Gen. Funston, their commander
in-chief at this time to speak of them
in words of the strongest commenda-
ton of their soldierly qualities. their
general alertness and their willingness

obey the orders of their superior Off

Repeal in Part of the Dick Bill
Probably Will Prevent a
Court-Martial.
TO GET ANOTHER CHANCE
UNDER NEW ARMY BILL
Call by President Will Mean Auto
matte Mastering In of All Ma
tional Guardsmen.

Because the Dick bill. under when
the TEXAS. Arizona and New Mexico
National Guard were called out by
President Wilson for border patroi
service, will be repealed in part by the
new Hay-Chamberlain army reorean-
ization bill, Secretary Baker today an
nounced that proceedings against iio
Texas g-uardsmen who refused 10 re-
port for mastering will be delayed. II
the President signs the new BILL ne
said. 1t Will cause the recalcitrant
euardsmen to be automatically mus
tered into federal service, and they will
he subject 10 cour1s-martial fthey still
refuse to report for duty.
Secretary Baker explained that the
Hay-Chamberlain measure repeats the
offense committed by the Texas guards
men-refusal to present themselves TO
he mustered in. BY the time court
martial proceedings under the DICK law
could be instituted, he said. the DICK
bills provisions would have been abol-
ished in that respect. Therefore. he
explained, the administration had de-
cided to withhold action until the new
law goes into effect.
Call Constitutes Mastering In.
The Hay-Chamberlain measure pro-
yides that call of the President for
militia shall. of itself, constitute
"mustering into federal service" Re-
fusal of guardsmen to present" them
selves is, therefore, an offense repealed
under the new act.
Secretary Baker said that II the
President signs the new bill he will
ask him to issue a supplementary call
for the guardsmen. That would OPP
with their duty limited to service with
in the United States, but subject them
to severe penalties for refusal to re-
port for duty. When called out by the
President for federal service the mill
tiamen are subject to all the articles of
war, the same as soldiers of the regular
army.
Penalty Is Severe in New Bill. 7
For disobedience of orders the PEN
atty under the new law is much more
severe than that under the Dick bill
for refusing to report to be mustered.
Secretary Baker today advised Gen.
Funston of his decision regarding the
116 Texans. The question of court
martialing the guardsmen If they con-
tinue opposition to serving. Secretary
Baker said. would. under the new law.
rest with Gen. Funston.
That the INTERCHANGEABLE bill does
not repeal the whole Dick law was
Secretary Bakers opinion. He said 1t
affected only certain portions. includ.
ing that regarding mastering in of
militia. He also said new call for
the Arizona and New Mexico guards
men would not be necessary.

Vacancies in Medical Corps.

If the provision under which the num-
Der of medical officers is fixed at seven
to every 1000 enlisted men goes into
effect Immediately, there will be about
S61 vacancies in the Medical Corps July
1 next. On that date there should be
about sos medical officers in the army.
At present there are but 444 on the ac-
tive list, exclusive of officers of the
Medical Reserve Corps.
The War College is working out the
details for the formations of the new
regiments authorized by the act. In
the course of the proposed reorganiza-
ton there will be liberal flow of pro-
motions in the enlisted personnel of
the army resulting from the thousand
extra non commissioned officers pro-
vided for in the plan.
