Railroad Man Says Tanlac Is the
Only Thing That Ever Helped Him
After Suffering -Four Years

IF the people of this town only
knew what Tanlac had done for me
you would sell thousand bottles to-

Railway, who lives at 126 East Ninth
well-known employee of the Southern
street, Admission, Ala. Mr.. Stringfel-
low is well known in railway circles
and is on the Atlanta and Birming-
ham division His many friends will
be glad to hear of his complete res
toration to health.
II suffered from stomach trouble
and indigestion for four years." con-
tinued Mr.. Stringfellow, land got so
| couldn't eat hardly anything. fell
of until ! only weighed 119 pounds
and finally got so weak and rundown
I was on the point of having to re-
sign my position To tell you the
truth I Just felt klie life was not
worth living because l just seemed
to be getting worse all the time and
nothing seemed to do me any good
81 would have awful pains in my
back and kidneys and could hardly
sleep. Two hours each night would
be about all the sleep I would get
Most always after eating l would
have gas on my stomach and my
hart would palpitate. 1 would get
weak in my limbs and have dizzy
spells and would have spots in front
of my eyes. +
About month ago I began read
ing about Tanlac, and heard the rail-
road men talking about it. Several
of my friends had taken the medi-
cine and said 1t was a fine thing for
stomach trouble, 50 decided to give
it trial. The first bottle helped me
so much I kept ION taking it and
have just finished my fifth bottle.
When weighed the other day
kicked the beam at 141 pounds, and
was so surprised / turned around to
see if some one was not standing on
the scales. Yes, sir, that's fact,
had actually gained % pounds and
feel like a well man again for the
first time in four years.
"Tanlac helped me right from the
start, and before j had finished tax
ing the second botffe ! got SO I would
eat and sleep and work as good as
anybody. That's what the medicine
did for me and everybody who knows
me will tell you the same thing.
Why, I can just eat anything now
and indigestion never bothers me
particle any more. I can sleep good,
too, and feel just fine in every way
Speaking Of eating, my grocery bills
have gone up to almost double.
Just to show You what l think
of the medicine. bought a dozen
bottles today in order to always have
supply on hand wouldn't be
without it fors anything in the
world" Is

about going to bed before the After
noon really was over.
In q moment or two Harry was
sound asleep in his chair by the Win
dow. And the Sun had listened to
the Fairy Queens whisper. For. soon
Harry was having the most wonderful
talk with Mr.. Sun.
"He' came right in the Window, and
sat on the sill, Just as friendly al
friendly could be. He told Harry the
history of his life. and oh. how very,
very old he was. It made Harry feel
quite old too, to hear the Sun talking,
and he said to him, Mr.. Sun, don't
you feel very blue when you think how
old you are?'
Sometimes to be sure l do. That
is only natural. And 1t Is then that
you see many blue Clouds and pale
lavender colors around me as I'm 60
ing to bed. But you will agree that
isn't very often. For when am sen,
sible ! say to myself that there is
nothing disgraceful about being old.
And It is then that look bright and
rosy. For 1t is very foolish to mind
being old when you are as strong and
well as l am and have such a won
derful long record
AT that, Harry seemed to see the
lovely rose coloring. almost flaming,
and he heard the Sun continue,
Now tonight am very proud to
think Of my wonderful life and how
many sick folks have cured, and how
many people say when they see me
that II does seem good to see the Sun
again. That happens after / have
been on on q visit, of course. But
sometimes ! can't help 1t, and l get
blue just because l am old, oh so verv
old that 1t gets me tired out trying to
think how old
Before he knew it, Harry felt His
Mother shaking him very gently. and
saying,
" Gracious me, Harry, It is long
past bedtime; why even the Sun has
set and 1t is quite dark.
harry slowly and sleepily went to
bed. But he was always so glad that
he had had such a friendly chat with
the Sun and afterwards always knew
how the Sun was feeling by the colors
in the Sunset.
So you see tonight, old Mr.. Sun
must have been very happy"

Congregational Calendar Declares.

Following is an extract from the
weekly calendar Of the congregational
church, given out Sunday, in which
the untidiness of the main streets on
Sunday mornings is brought to atten~
ton:
The weekly calendar may not be the
proper medium through which to ex-
press an opinion or suggestion upon
municipal administration, but it NAV
the people to the difference that the
streets in the center present on Sum
day mornings and the other days of
the week. While we would not en-
courage unnecessary work on the
Sabbath, Yet since cleanliness is akin
to godliness, there ought to be an at
| tempt at least to be as clean on Gods
day as on other days of the week, and
the use of the sweeper on Sunday
mornings would not entail a great deal
Of work and would add greatly to the
comfort and sense of propriety of those
who believe tGlat, as far as possible,
everything should be made conducive
| to a clean and quiet city on the Lords
| day.

county is $4,000, 900, of which So
224,oO0 is for the city of Pensacola,
and the straight road tax in 1915
was "a mills.
There is an additional source Of
revenue for the road funds in the
auto tax, based on horsepower, which
amounts to approximately $500 per
annum.
The county has road labor tax,
but this produces very small results,
either in cash or labor.
The population in 1910 was 5000,
of which Pensacola had 27,S00, and
in 1916, with total population of
10000, Pensacola had $4,000. The
county is divided into IS precincts.
Pensacola is the county seat, and
there are five small towns with rail-
road and market facilities.
The county lies on the Gulf of Mex
leo and is further cut off from out
side communication by large rivers
on the east and west boundaries. IT
is well supplied with railroad facili-
ties.
He states that the total length OF
all roads in the county is $50 miles,
and all that have been improved by
grading or surfacing is approximately
$50 miles.
In referring to the legal right under
tn: constitution to bond itself, Mr.
Pur7e1l says: "Escambia county is
entitled to levy tax not to exceed

of protest, although nearly $4,000
was spent in 1915. AS stated, there
is no limit placed upon the amount
that may be raised by bonds, neither
is there restriction in any way as Il
the term or rate of interest, excepI
that these points must be fixed prio1
to the election. The board of county
commissioners have called for al
election to be held on the 7th day
of November to decide the issue o.
