Taniac Has Done Wonders For Her
Was SO Nervous and Unstrunc
That She Gould Not Have Gone
Through the Winter.

I'm certainly very thankful for
what Tanlac has done for my little
daughter" said Mrs. J. P. Westbrooks,
who lives at 26OS Thirtleth Avenue.
North Birmingham, to the Tanlac rep.
resentative who had called to see her
few days ago. my daughter, Ansel,
who is eleven years of age, has been
a sufferer from Indigestion and pains
in her shoulders and in her chest for
long, long time-in fact, all her life.
We have tried many doctors and most
everything we could hear of, but they
did not bring her any relief.
"She was SO nervous and unstrung
and so rundown that don't believe
she could have gone through the win
ter. She couldn't eat hardly anything
at all and sleep was impossible for
her, and it was pitiful to see her in
that condition, and to think, too, that
we had done everything we could with
out any benefit from it. Especially in
the summer months she would get in
very rundown condition and would
lose weight, and you can see that she
hasn't any too much weight to lose.
T had read in the papers about
Tanlac, and neighbor who has
taken it insisted that | get a bottle
and put her right on it and it looked
like from the first half of the bottle
that it was the very thing she had
needed. She has taken three bottles
now, and am certainly thankful for
what it has done for her She sleeps
just as we'll as could be at night and
eats everything she wants. She was
eating popcorn and bananas yester-
day. and they didn't seem to have any
bad effect on her at all. She has
gained little in weight, and believe
now that she is eating and the food
seems to thoroughly agree with her,
and she viii gain steadily.
"She does not seem to be a bit ner-
yous and doesn't object to taking the
Tanlac one bit. She is just as bright
and cheerful as she can be and it has
made us all mighty happy about her
recovery, and we all are glad to re-
commend Tanlac as being the medi-
cine that had done what lots OF other
medicines failed to do. ! am glad to
say a good word for it, and tell others
Of its merits"
Miss Ansel Westbrooks was In the
| room at the time and remarked: III
had a thousand dollars, would spend
lit all for Tanlac, because I feel so
good and eat anything ! want, and
can sleep so good and sound at night.
Tanlac is sold in Columbia, exclu-
siyely by sMIsER DRUG CO.-(Advt)

British Claims to Victory
In Naval Fight Derided
By German Officials

BERLIN, June 5.--Great Britain's =
claim TO victory In the naval fight
n Wednesday is taken as an enor'
nous Joke by all Germany. The
CAIN IL not even accorded the dig
atty OF serious attention. 1t does
-U arouse ire or resentment, but
inIrth only.
YES" grinned one official. Great
Britain won an enormous tactical
victory. About two more such tao.
teal victories and the British navy
would be reduced to rowboats.
Germans realize just the position
Great Britain is in. For years and
years she has been boasting OF their
peerless navy. Along came real
land fighting and England did not
take her full part, but always re-
ferred 10 It's peerless navy-the un-
beatable pride OF the seas-which,
when the moment came would
smash Germany forever. II was the
navy which was going to dig the
rats out OF their holes
Then came the fight and when
smoke OF battle cleared away, the
pride OF the British navy was at
the bottom OF the North sea and
the German fleet was riding safely
at anchor In its home port"
The Detroit times., 1916-06-05

The Germans point out that the
British admiralty was almost forced
10 make false claims OF German
losses TO prevent the shock Of the
worst naval drubbing Of the war
from proving too heavy q depreS
sion on the English people.
When the claim of the British
that heavy German battleships were
destroyed is mentioned, German Of
ficials smile blandly and ask:
why doesn't the British admir-.
atty name them? II should be easy
enough II they were sunk. We were
not at loss to name tbe British ships
which went down"
The German claim that the pres
ent British policy OF refusing to ad-
nit It's own complete losses and as
serting extremely heavy losses for
the enemy. Is on par with their
system OF distributing news
throughout the war.
Admiral Won Tirpitz. resigned. is
one OF the several persons who
have been warmly congratulated on
account OF the victory.
Emperor william is expected ts
review the victorious German feet
at Wilhelmshaven today. He went
