ENGINEER NEARLY
 HELPLESS AT THE
 END OF HIS RUN
Couldn't Straighten~ Up at Times When He Left En- gine-Tanlac Ends
 Troubles

sI was in such a. bad fix before l took Tanlac that at times I couldn't walk, " said David A Middleton, 1717 Chenevert, Houston, Tex, recently MT. Middleton has been employed by the Southern Pa cific railroad for 25 years, 20 years as engineer and 5 years as fireman.
 t'For 15 years" he continued T suf- fered with something like asthma and painful disordered kidneys. I kept doc toring and taking medicines but kept going down hill. I was constipated and sometimes I was so nervous I couldn' t stand anyone around me. My food would not digest and up to my second bottle of Tanlac I wouldn't dare eat any supper. Gas would form on my stomach after eating and press on my lungs and heart so I could hardly breathe, and lots of times I suffered so I couldn't go out on my run at all. Many time, after mak- ing a trip, l. have crawled off my engine with my back hurting so I would have to walk 100 yards or so before I could straighten up, and lots of times I was in such a bad condition I couldn't walk at all.
 "All these troubles are over with since I began taking Tanlac. have already gained Ii pounds and feel like I am still gaining every day. I haven't had a spell of any kind since took my second bottle and I have gotten rid of all the pain across my back and kidneys and my stomach is in fine shape. I can actually eat sausage or any kind of meats, even at night and go to bed and sleep like a child, and I'm not troubled any more with shortness of breath. Before I took Tan lac, when the weather was rainy and close, I never thought of going out, but now I can go out and trot around In any kind of weather and feel fine. I used to suffer with headaches out they're all gone, too, and in fact, Tanlac has just h1li1t me m until I feel like a new man {"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley by D.. W. Morris Drug company; in Bes- semer by Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drug company.-Adv. ss

Cyclone Performed Queer
 and GrewsOme Franks

Troy, March 31-(Special) 1.-The cyclone played some queer and gruesome pranks at Petrey Monday night. In one instance a house on the Watson place, occupied by family named Bodiford, was blown down and set on fire by fire in the fire place. The family was pinned under the burning ruins, but neighbors seeing the blaze reached the home in time to free the family. Some members of the family were i'll of measles and the fire had been kept up on account of others being up
 to take care of the sick ones. At one place the residence of Bill Trainem es- capped the fury of the storm, being just outside the path, and shortly after the passing of the cyclone the house caught on fire and was burned to the ground.
 Other houses not previously reported destroyed were the residence of Mrs. HfX, the Union Seed company's cotton gin, the schoolhouse and the Masonic lodge
 A new vegetable substitute for pota- toes is being introduced into the county by Home Demonstrator Mrs. J. B. Will son. This vegetable is the dasheen, which is a finely favored variety of the taro, which furnishes food for so many people in the tropical and sub-tropical coun- tries. It has a nutty flavor and is mealy It grows from a central core with tubers surrounding it and is parboiled and baked very much as potatoes are cooked. It possesses much starch, some protein and mineral matters, and is a fine substitute for Irish potatoes. Mrs. Wilson has dis tributed barrel of these over the county to people who are planting them for cul tivation.
 Pike county has the distinction of fur nishing the first woman county super intendent in Alabama in Mrs. J. M. San ders, who was appointed last fall to fill out the unexpired term of her deceased husband. Up in Kentucky another na- tive of Pike county is honoring the same office and it is believed is the first wom an superintendent in Kentucky. She is Mrs. o. P. Rosmer of Bowling Green. She, too, was appointed to finish her hus bands term after his death She has succeeded so well that she has been urged to be a candidate for the democratic and has received the indorse- ment of the people and press of Bowling Green.
