DAIRY FARMER
GAINS 80 POUNDS
DECLARES HE EATS BETTER,
SLEEPS BETTER, FEELS BET
TER SINCE TAKING TANLAC.

Everybody in Columbia, Tenn,
knows F. C. McGavock, who owns
and operates a large dairy business
in that city.
IF there ever was a believer in
Tanlac," said r. M. Smiser, the we'll
known Columbia, Tenn, druggist 1T
is Mr.. McGavock, as he talks about it
all the time. But he feels he has
right to talk, as no medicine has
ever helped any one as much as Tan
lac has helped him. He really does
not look like the same man." Here is
Mr.. McGavock's statement:
81 have now taken five bottles of
Tanlac and have gained thirty
pounds. If you don't believe it right
here l am, come and look at me. L
don't know what my trouble was, but
was all run down and was unfit for
work. l think, though, it must have
been my stomach, as l had no appe-
tite and nothing seemed to agree
with me. l was also nervous and
could not sleep good. l just kept go
ing down hill and losing weight right
along and nothing did me ay good
until Smiser, the druggist, told me
about Tanlac.
81 tried it on his recommendation,
and it helped me from the first few
doses. The medicine seemed to take
hold right at once and l began to eat
better, sleep better and feel better
right from the start. If anybody
wants to know what l think of Tanlac
Just tell them to come and see me.
I am right here in Columbia. Tan
lac has simply made a new man OF
me, and 1 expect to tell all my friends
about what it has done in my case.
Referring to the above statement
G.. f. Willis, Southern distributor OF
Tanlac, said:
"Tanlac is without question the
greatest medicine of its kind on the
American market today. The ex-
IRENE popularity of Tanlac can only
be accounted for by the extraordinary
merit of the medicine. The system
besides being purified, is toned up
and invigorated, as the preparation
aside from cleansing the blood, revi-
talizes the constitution, overcoming
as it seems to do, nervousness in
digestion, non-assimilation of the
food. headaches, dizziness and other
troubles that are so common"
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Daw-
son by the Dawson Drug Co.; in Par
rott by. the CITY Drug Store; in sas-
ser by the Davis Drug Co., and IN
Graves by D. NJ. Dismuke.

Only Man DesperadOes Feared.
The man who was not afraid of the
James boys spoke quietly enough.
81 reckon you all had better tie
that boss back" he said.
Frank James looked at j. E. East
land. The owner of the horse ap-
peared harmless enough and, any
how, Dick Little and another mem
Der of the bandit force stood near.
There seemed to be no cause for fear
and the horse was certainly desira-

trim limbs showed his Kentucky
blood, says the Kansas City Star.
L guess you don't know who you
are talking to. My name is James
Frank James," the bandit leader re-
piled.
There was a roar, the pipe in Frank
James mouth was shattered, and in
Eastlands hands were two Colt guns,
one smoking.
I guess you all don't know who l
am. You had better leave the boss
where he is" said Eastland with a
drawl.
Eastland's revolvers emphasized
the order, and the three bandits
mounted their own horses and rode
away.
The story was told by the gray
eyed man who presides as conductor
over the mixed train which was ac-
complishing the twenty-seven miles
from Fort Scott, Kan, to Rich Hill
in four hours. The telling made the
four hours seem gratefully shorter.

well-worn copy of the Sunday Star,
this piece is right. Dad always said
the James boys were towards except
when they had the odds with them.
ITO know Frank James pretty
we'll before he died, and he has often
told me that dad was the only man
that he ever really feared.
Tom Eastland interrupted the sto-
ry of his father to go out and tell
the irish what he thought of them.
"tThe- Irish" were unloading a car of
cinders, while the train and its pas
sengers waited near Metz, where his
father1had lived and where the pipe
incident occurred.
dad was some Shot" he said after
'the Irish had been properly in
structed. when the war between the
states broke out he rode away to join
the Confederate army. One Of his
Kentucky horses nearly got him into
trouble that time. He was stopped
by FIVE men dressed in blue uniforms
out beyond st. Louis. They told him
they would have to take his horse.
Dad never talked much about it,
but he did not give up his horse. He
pulled his guns and when he left four
of them were on the ground.
He Got One.
Later during the war dad was
coming back from inside the enemies
lines. He had reached the last lines
when two men stopped him. 1t would
