DO YOU HAVE DIZZY SpELLS9
It's Important to Learn the Cause, al
Many Sumter People Have.

Dizziness is never q disease of itself
its only a symptom Of some deeper
seated trouble. Much dizziness is
caused by disordered kidneys falling
to filter all the poisons from the blood.
These poisons attack the nerves and
dizziness results. If you are subject
TO dizziness, there is good reason to
suspect your kidneys, and IL you suffer
backache, headache, and bladder dis
order, you have further proof. Many
Sumter people have learned the val
ne of Doans Kidney Pills i'm just such
cases. Read this Sumter woman's
Mrs. Annie G. Carnes, 4O7 Bart

ordered and my back ached. 1 had

Capt. Parker Says Stomach About Played. Outflow Eats Cabbage and Pork Like a Section Hand.

'I have got to hand it to that 1 Tanlac, for there is no doubt. about 1 it beingit being the finest thing ever
 sold in drug store for the people 1 that have any sort of stomach trou | ble or indigestion" said Capt. l1u gene Parker, popular Louisville and Nashville conductor, running between Birmingham and MontGom- cry. and who lives at SIT Sixth av- enue, Inglenook.
 "Why, the way it has straightcn
 ed me out in just a short time,' he. continued, ''is a mystery and it has done for me what nothing else ever tried would do. I had mighty
 near got to where I didn't need to go to the table any more, so far as eating was concerned, for l couldn't eat anything after I got there. If did, I had to pay dear for it in a Heel while, for my stomach had
 about played out altogether. "There was continual soreness in my stocach and | thought somc times it must be anbscess. My liv- CT never was right and there was not a day but what l had to get something from the drug store for headache and to settle my stomach. | I never had much life in me and had fallen off a great deal. l was in a badly run down shape gcner- ally and hardly fit to do my work. About three weeks ago a friend of mine asked me why l didn't try this Tanlac, as he had used it and found it to be the very thing he needed so 1 took him up on his
 suggestion and stopped at the An
 derson Drug Company in Inglenook
 and bought two bottles of it, but must say I never looked for it to
 do me any good, as so many things
 had been recommended to me and
 tried them all without any bene- fit.
 well, I am afraid some people won't believe it, lbut it is a fact
 and I can prove it. After I had used those two bottles I weighed
 and found I had actually gained IS pounds It just strengthened my stomach out in no time and since ! took the first dose l have not had
 to take anything for a headache.
 'I have the finest kind of an ap-
 petite now and can eat anything. The other day out on the road our supplies had run low and I had i some salt pork and cabbage cooked up on the caboose and I ate it like

PRETTY WARM STUFF.

The following purports to be Villa S
answer to the German government
when Zimmerman proposed to donate
Arizona. New Mexico and Texas to
Mexico, if Mexico would make war
on the United States. 1t is taken from
an eastern paper, and appeared as a
dispatch under a Los Angeles date
line. Villas reply is rich, even if there
may be a doubt of its authenticity:
General Villa regrets that it is in
expedient for him to accept the offer
so generously made by his Germanic
majesty Of the North American states
of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
At the present time General Villa is
engaged in suppressing the revolt OF
one Carranza. free booter, who ha.
revolted in the central part of the re-
public and for that reason cannot
spare the troops necessary to garrison
the above mentioned North American
states. whose inhabitants might OBJ
ject to the transfer.
IF, however, his German majesty
will send General villa 10000 rifles
and 100000 cartridges, General
villa will grant him and his heirs in
perpetuity the. kingdom Of Holland
and the Swiss republic"

have in no instance stated from whom
these protests were received. Many OF
these protests appear in the proceed
ines of; congress as published in the

names as schovesser. Blessing. Pott-
berg. Aslesen, Holing, Frederichs,
Gender, Amend, Swalesuuen, Schiop-
hoki, Knoll, Jurgense, Pollen, Solsaa,
Struett, Strikel, Hoover, Junge, Hodel
and so ON ad infinitum. These are only
a very few of the 80 per cent of such
names attached to protests against
war, not war in the abstract, but war
against Germany. He who reads can
readily understand where the SYM
patty of these men rests as against
the land they have adopted. No one
will believe for moment that these
men are for peace from humane reas
ons. or on principle. Not on your life
1t is a chill-steel cinch thatjf thii
country was about to declare wal
against France. Italy, Russia or Eng
land, not a single one of these signers
would file a protest with their repre-
sentative in congress. 1t is further q
safe bet that had Germany bombarded
any port in the United States without
warning, numbering scores of womer
and children, as she has murdered
them on the high seas, these same
signers would be sending into congress
protests against war with Germany
because they believe that anythins
that Germany does, no matter how
autrOcious, Is justifiable.
