Seaboard Airline Machinist Suffered 8 Years and Felt So Miserable He Didn't Care Whether He lived of Died
SAYS 'T WAS HARDLY
 EVER WITHOUT PAIN"
"Tanlac Has Entirely Re-
 lieved Me and I Consider
 Myself a Well Man, He Declares in Statement

T have taken 10 bottles of Tanlac and have actually gained 34 pounds" was the remarkable statement made last Tuesday Dy MT. A, B. Galloway of Atlanta, in an Interesting interview with Dr. E. B. FL 0er the Tanlac representative. MT. Cal iaway is well known in Atlanta and is employed as machinist at the Seaboard Air Line railroad roundhouse. He has held his present position for Il years, and is regarded as one of AtIantas most expert maohinists.
 T suffered for eight years with nervous and chronic indigestion" continued MT. Calaway, and at times it looked like was going to have to give up my job, Tor l was so weak and worn out I was barely able to go about.
 T ate but very little, and what little managed to get down would always hurt me afterwards. I was nauseated most of the time and often had vomiting spells l was hardly ever without pains in my stomach, and at times they were so se- were would have to have hot towels ap- piled until was almost blistered.
 T didn't sleep well, and at times would have to get up and walk the floor for hours at time. My nerves seemed com- pletely torn up, and I was often over come with dizzy spells. I became almost desperate over my condition and felt so miserable that at times it didn't make much difference to me whether I lived or died.
 T lost great deal in weight and be- came very weak. I did everything a man could do trying to get refer, and guess I took enough medicine to drown a man in, but it just looked like the more I took the worse would get.
 -Four months ago I began taking Tan lac. At that time I weighed 122 pounds Today I weigh 156 pounds gain of 34 pounds.
 "Tanlac has entirely relieved me of my troubles, and I consider myself a well man. Instead of eating cereals and other light foods, now eat cabbage, onions, hot biscuits, syrup. and meats of all kinds, or anything else I want, and I eat lot. too, but everything digests well and agrees with me perfectly.
 "The nervousness has been overcome, and I sleep like a log. I am full of life and energy now and am strong and able to work all day long without getting tired and worn out My rrfenos all tell me that am a picture of health.
 1T am the happiest man in Atlanta, and anyone else would be, too, if they had gone through with what have and had found something to relieve them as Tanlac has done me-"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Patton-Pope Drug company ana Eugene Jacobs drug store; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug company, and in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug company. Adv.

MITCHELL s VISIT
 ID BIRMINGHAM IS
 DELAYED FEW DAYS
Power Company President May Be Able to Get Here by Wednesday of
 Next Week
By ALLAN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, March 25-(Specal)-Pr ident James Mitchell of the Alabama
 Power company will not reach Birming- ham before the middle or latter part of next week. He is detained partly on ac~
 count of business in connection with the
 Alabama work now in prospect and on
 foot, and partly by the fact that a num- Der of his employees are ill,
 The exceptionally bad weather that has prevailed here for sometime has crippled
 his office force very materially and just
 at this time every man is needed as per-
 haps never before.
 MT. Mitchell stated today that all the
 arrangements were going forward nicely; that he expected no hitch whatever in the further "details of the negotiations of the mortgage. and that the announce
 ments made officially by the power com pany to date would all be compiled with. He also declared that there would
 probably be still further developments of
 interest within the immediate future, though he was not, at the time, in po- sition to go into detail relative to these Nothing for the proposed permanent ex-
 hibit in his offices in the Equitable building at 120 Broadway, has as vet
 been received, and he desires to impress upon the Alabama manufacturers that
 there is absolutely no expense connected with this exhibit, save that to be in-
 cured in shipping the exhibits. The space set aside for the exhibit of Ala bama's manufactured products, is ideal for a display, and the offices are visited
 by many people every day. They oc-
 cupy a great deal of space and are light and roomy.
 The Power company's offices have been
 visited by number of Alabamians since
 the offer was made to visitors to use them for writing and the transaction of
 ordinary business matters by mail tele-
 phone, etc.
 and he declares that he will assuredly
 start for Birmingham not later than next Wednesday.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Encourage Automobilists
he Editor of The Age-eHrald:

To the Editor of The Age-eHrald:
 In your Hotel Lobby column of Satur- day, March IS, Fred B. Shireman's view of "how to attract tourist travel to your city and Jefferson county" was noted.
 The magnitude of travel by. the automo- bile is far beyond the average person s crease in automobiles in Alabama the past 10 years. We had only about 800 automo- piles; today we have over 16,000 automo- piles, showing an increase of over 2000 per cent. Very few people have an idea of the enormous number of automobiles now in use.
 The fact that only about 20 years ago the automobile came into use, and the steam locomotives are about 75 years old, the gigantic number of automobile horse power is 51,0000O0 in the United States, and that of all steam locomotives is AS, ,0O0,- GOO in the United States, showing the au- tcmobile horse power exceeded that or the steam locomotives by 3,000000 horse power.
 This shows the fact that the travel by automobiles will attaact more homeseek- CTS, tourists and investors than will the railroads as the statistcians who are fa- millar with the progress that is being made in the increase of pleasure and truck automobiles, claim that we now have in use in the United States 2,50000O automobiles, and by 1920 there will be G. O00,0O0 automobiles. So the increase of travel by the auto is far greater than by rail, and it will pay the hotels and people of Birmingham to keep right be- hind the movement to build up the road to the Warrior river.
 When that link is built you will have an attractive river route to Mobile and bays, lakes and rivers of America. The delightful pleasure trips by houseboats and launches afford for recreation is well worth capitalizing for the climate of our Alabama rivers and historic waters Wal be attractive to the snowbound and frozen tourists in the United States. We do not appreciate the many opportunities to att tract the homeseekers, tourists and in vestors to Birmingham and Alabama.
