WORTH WEIGHT
IN GOLD" SAYS
ROBERT YOUNG
had TAKEN so MUCH MEDICINE
HIS HOUSE LOOKED LIKE A
DRUG STORE

IF forty men had sworn TO me 'un.
til they were black in the face that
any medicine on earth would have
helped me as much as Tanlac has in
only ten days time, I would have
laughed at Them" said Robert Young,
who lives at 512 Baxter avenue, Knox
vile, Tenn.
This medicine is worth it's weight
il gold, and if the price was $50
bottle instead of 81, I would buy it
just the same, if l had the money to
pay for it.
If the next bottle helps ME as much
as the last, am going to throw these
Icrutches away. l feel like a different
man, and if it were not for my back
and legs which were operated on, =
would be able to walk again.
Il have been suffering for years with
tuberculosis of the bone, and if it had
not been for prominent surgeon here
in KnoXville-whose name 1 will be
glad to give to any one on request
guess l would have died long before
this
ct was a wonderful operation, and
there was whole lot of talk about
my case here in Knoxville. 1 don't
believe there has ever been another
case as bad as mine. He sawed nine
inches out of the bone in my leg and
grated it to my spinal column. So
far as the operation was concerned, it
was a complete success, and saved my
life, but my constitution was so weak
cred at the time 1 had never fully
recovered from the effects of it, and
have been very weak and gradually
losing strength ever since. l finally
got so l could hardly eat or sleep and
was gradually going down hill.
IF you remember the day I came
after the first bottle of Tanlac. 1 was
50 weak l could hardly get about. Il
new feel like a new man. 1 can eat
better and sleep better, and have gain
ed several pounds in weight.
"Of course, 1 do not mean to say
this medicine will cure tuberculosis in
any form, and know you do not rec
ommend it for that, but it seems to
have built me up and strengthened me
it every way.
Before taking this Tanlac, I had
tried so many different kinds of medi-
cine that my house looked like drug
store. 1 will be glad to tell anybody
what it has done for me, but l won't
have to tell them, for the difference
in my looks will show for itself"
Tanlac is sold exclusively in Ameri-
cas- by Aliens Drug G Seed Store; in
Leslie by Leslie Drug Co.; in Plains,
Ga, by Plains Pharmacy; in Sumter,

JUDGESH|P WILL
 GO ID MOBILE MAN
 IS NOW THOUGHT
VandeGraaff Mentioned as Dark Horse, But Tusca- loosian Is Handicapped
 by Residence
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. December 22.-(special) ) While it is understood this afternoon that the Attorney General has determined to name Mobilian to the judgeship in the southern Alabama district, it is re- ported that as dark horse Judge A. s. VandeGraaff of Tuscaloosa looms for midable
 The great handicap confronting Judge VandeGraaff is that he is not a resident of the southern federal district. His great assets are his ability and his friendship to Colonel House, confidential adviser to the President. Judge Vande- Graaff and Colonel House were classmates at Yale.
 It is not believed however that a dark horse can win unless the Attorney Gen. eral finds it impossible to select one of the several talented entries from the dis trict.

CONGRESS- STOPS
 WORK ID ENJOY
 WEEKS HOLIDAY
Legislation Has Been Accomplished Since Open ing, But More Re
 mains to Be Done

Washington, December 22.--Congress ad- journed today for the Christmas holidays
 to reconvene January ?. In the three weeks of the session the House passed five government supply measures, the ur- gent deficiency, legislative, Indian, Dis trict of Columbia and diplomatic and con- sular appropriation bills, more than ever were passed before in the brief period preceding holiday recess.
 Of these bills, the urgent deficiency has passed the Senate.
 Railroad legislation suggested by Presi- dent Wilson failed to get much attention in either branch The House commerce eoisSnit1ee decided 70 await Initiative ac- tion in the Senate, where, beginning Jan- uary ?, the Senate commerce committee will hold hearings on the proposed rail-
 road arbitration measure and the bill au- thorizing the President to take over the railroad, telegraph and telephone lines in case of military necessity.
 At the conclusion of the hearings the railroad measures in some form will be pressed as amendments to the pending bill to enlarge the interstate commerce commission. Senator Newlands, chairman of the committee, hopes to get action be- fore the March adjournment. Efforts to extend for one year the life of the joint commission Investigating railroad prob- lems were checked in the House to be re- newed immediately after the holidays. The Senate passed the immigration bill with it's literacy test provision and it is now in conference. The Senate also be- gan consideration of the District of Co., lumbia prohibition bill and fixed Jan- uary for a vote.
 The national prohibition constitutional amendment was reported favorably from the judiciary committee in each house and will be pressed by ith champions at every opportunity, although they have little hope of securing the necessary two- thirds majority at this session.
 House committees also reported the Borland food investigation with fa- vorable recommendation, and the Susan B. Anthony constitutional amendment for woman suffrage without recommendation. Neither resolution advanced to consider alton in the House.

TE|PER IS FOUND GUILTY 0F HAVING
 MURDERED MOTHER
On Hearing Second Degree Verdict Defendant Breaks Down and Cries Out
 in Anguish

Buffalo, N. T., December 22.-John Ed ward Teiper, charged with having killed his mother last January, was found guilty of second degree murder late today by a jury which delberated 29 hours The sentence prescribed for second degree murder is a minimum of 20 years im- prisonment. Sentence on Teiper was de- ferred.
 The verdict broke the iron nerve of the young defendant, who throughout the long trial had given no sign of emotion. As the jury foreman announced the yer dict, Teirper's knees sagged and he would have fallen had he not be caught by a deputy
 "Oh, my God" he shrieked as he strug- gled to rise; this is not fair; this isn't human"
 In all the balloting up to the last vote, it was said, eleven jurors had stood for first degree murder, One man, according to report, held out against that verdict because the evidence was circumstantial. He could not be won over and the com promise verdict was given

MOBILIZATION ON BORDER IS CAUSE
 0F GREAT DEFICIT
Report Submitted by Baker Indicates Large Number of Troops Will Be
 Kept in Service

Washington, December 22-A defici- ency appropriation of s2S,400,00o for the army. on account of Mexican bor der service, was submitted to the House today by Secretary Baker
 In addition Secretary Baker sub- mitted a supplemental estimate of s11,- $50, ,O00,00o, It was more than s25.00o- : men of the National Guard for a year significant in connection with the plans for retaining the guardsmen in the federal service.
 Testifying before the House military committee recently Quartermaster Gen eral Sharpe said that if the National Guard were retained on the border at a strength of 75,000 men until June 30, 1917, the deficit would reach total of $50, 0,o00,oo0 It was more than o25,00o,- excess of s3.0O.0oO since that time, ac- cording to the figures presented to- day
 It is understood the strength of the guard retained on the border pending further developments in the interna- tional situation will be approximately 75,0O0 men, making a total force of about 115,00O, including regulars, com pared with 100000 there few months ago.
 The supplemental estimate of s11,- 250000 to maintain the guard during the fiscal year 1918 is understood to include provision for the replacement of clothing and other property which the state soldiers brought with them into the federal service. The book keeping problem presented by de- mobilization of a considerable num- Der of guardsmen has been serious one.
 It is an army custom that discharged soldiers take their clothing with them, and presumably the demobilized regi- mentS will have to be reOutfitted
