 NOW EATS ONIONS
 AND CUCUMbERS
Gains 15 Pounds on Tanlac and Troubles of Long Standing Are Over
 come

I'm a pretty old man, I'm 69 years old and have taken lot of medicine in my time, but I'm here to tell you that Tanlac can't be beat. I've taken five bot ties and I've gained 15 pounds said John B. Huffman, who lives at Gate City, MT. Huffman is well known in mill and factory circles here and counts his friends by the hundreds He is connected with the Peerless Lumber company at Avon- dale, in the capacity of night watchman, and is considered honest and trustworthy by his employers.
 T suffered with indigestion terrible, " continued Mr. Huffman, I'd be bothered quite a bit with rheumatism, and l couldn't sleep at night. When would get little sleep, I'd be troubled with ter rfble dreams. My nerves got on an edge and I was in a pretty bad rundown con dition. Everything I'd eat would hurt me, and got so bad off even glass of water would nearly kill me. My stomach was bloated up all the time and I didn't feel natural 1 had a sluggish feeling and I'd feel so bad at times l didn't care if I worked or not. I had gas on my stomach and when 1 did eat 1t wouldn't get any further than my chest and it would cause me to have full and distressed feeling
 q saw Tanlac advertised in the papers and had read about it so much thought I'd try it, and after my second bottle l began to mend up right away. My in digestion left me and I began to eat onions and cucumbers to my hearts con- tent, something I hadn't done in many a year. My appetite is right with me, and I eat all the time. The rheumatism left me, and I tell you I can sleep all day these hot days and it don't bother me a bit My nerves got all right and I'm strong and well again. My stomach got in good shape and I don't suffer with gas and that bloated feeling any more. It got natural and I haven't had a pain in it since I first started taking Tanlac. When I get up in the afternoons I feel just like I want to go to work right now and darkness can't come too quick for me for I'm always ready to punch my clock. Everything T eat goes right down and I haven't had a pain in my chest in a long time.
 That rundown feeling has left me- and I thank my stars that I started taking Tanlac for it sure put me on my feet where I can do my work like I used to-, and best of all it made me gain b pounds. I can't recommend it enough and | m glad to let everybody know of the relief l got from it after taking it short time. It's all it's advertised for and I'm going to stand by it and I know I'll praise it to my dying day"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham eXclu- sively by Patton-Pope Drug company and Eugene Jacobs Drug store; in Ems ley by D. w. Morris Drug company; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug com pany; in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company. and in Pratt City by Gale Drug company.-Adv.

MACHINE GUN PLAYS
 AN IMPORTANT PART

moment a position is occupied they em- place them.
 All reports from those engaged in the fighting agree that barbed wire entangle-
 ments, however strong, have been invar- iaby well cut and there is universal praise for the new mortar, the invention
 of government civil engineer in Egypt, which the British have manufactured in large numbers.
 But frequently the deep German dug
 outs instead of being rallying points, be- come traps, with the occupants either
 surrendering or being blown up by bombs
 thrown into the entrance when they re-
 fuse to surrender.
 The gunners, after their weeks bom-
 bardment, know no cessation in their toll.
 Where the British advance they must
 move their guns forward to new positions
 for the next stage in the attack. When
 they have recess in the firing they fall
 asleep amid the laundering of the neigh
 boring batteries, unless they have to work on new dugouts
 The aviators part has never been so daring, so thrilling as during this battle. One of them, in small, fast, single-man machine, though the usual altitude kept over the enemy lines these days is from 10, 900 to 20,000 feet, descended as low as
 800 feet during the battle, and was able to indentify the khaki of the British and the green of the Germans as they struggled for the possession of trench. He sent a wireless message back to army headquarters of the exact situation, the promptness of such information being in- valuable He returned with 40 bullet holes in his planes and himself uninjured. The percentage of dead to wounded is
 smaller than usual in trench fighting. Many light wounds have been received from shrapnel and rifle and machine gun fire but the good weather and excellent
 physical condition of the men mean quick recovery.
 There are plenty of examples of Eng fish plegmatic temperament. One gun ner, lifted into the air by the concussion of shell, said after he came down: T wish they had provided cushions | A corps commander, after all commands were complete for the attack at 7:3O clock in the morning, said before lying 1 down to sleep: Wake me at 7:45; the | first reports will be in by them

 all of her financial affairs to her sons s charge.
 FORTUNE NOT ESTIMATED
 Wall streets estimates of Mrs. Green s fortune ranged from $20, GOO 900 to $100, ,00O,- GOO Officials of the Chemical National bank in which Mrs. Green once made her downtown headquarters, declined to hazard a guess concerning the size of her estate.
 Until few years ago Mrs. Green was a familiar figure in the financial dis trict, but latterly her appearance there had been very infrequent. It is believed that considerable part of her money was invested in first mortgage and high class railway bonds, although she was said at one time to have large sums in- vested in shares of the smaller south western railroads, including several in which her son was actively identified. MANY WILL BENEFIT
 Mrs. Green was also the reputed owner of large tracts of land in Texas, Ala bama and other southern states, but it is believed that she sold the last of these holdings few years ago.
 Both Mrs. Wilks and Colonel Green were at their mothers bedside when she died Notwithstanding that she had sui fered paralytic strokes, the end was rather sudden for yesterday morning Mrs. Green seemed in better spirits than for some time. Last night, however, grave relapse occurred and during the night Mrs. Green became unconscious at inter- vals.
 The end came during one of these pe- rlods. Mrs. Greens body will be taken tomorrow to Bellows Falls, Vermont Funeral services will be held there We'd nesday Mrs. Greens son and daughter will accompany the body.
 The death of Mrs. Green will release for distribution among a large number oi people scattered all over the United States and abroad a trust fund said to amount to about $1,50o,OOO. This is the residuary 1 estate of her aunt, Sylvia Ann Rowland bequeathed for Hetty Greens life use 1 and after her death to be divided among the lineal descendants of Mrs. Green great grandfather, Gideon Rowland, O.
 
 provides that If all the lineal descend
 ants then living are in the same degree l of kindred to the said Gideon Rowland | they shall share the estate equally
 otherwise they shall take according tc ! the right of representation.
 I Gideon Rowland was born in 17S4, ant
 died in 1923. and inasmuch as descendants | of eleven of his children are living, some | in the sixth generation. they probably
 constitute a small army. Some of the 1 heirs inter-married and their children wit
 inherit doubly, thus adding to the diff 1 culties to be encountered by the trustees l in determining the complete list of thos' | entitled to the money. Among the How l land descendants was Sylvia Grinnell, O | New York City, who married Admira 1 Fritz-Herbert RuXton, of the Britisl l navy and her sons have been officers il
