PRAISES TANLAC
SAYS HER SON HAD TO LIVE ON

JUICE.

my son is so much better since
taking Tanlac that he doesn't look
like the same boy" said Mrs. L..
Campbell in reference to her eigh-
teen-year-old son, W. H. Campbell,
whose condition of i'll health has

his parents. Mrs. Campbell's husband

come in just in time to hear his
mothers remark, II don't feel like
the same boy, either, for | am gain
ing and feeling better every day"
''He had had a bad form of stom-
ach trouble for the past three years."
continued Mrs. Campbell, "and for
several months the boy was actually
so bad off he had to live on milk and
orange juice and few eggs. He had
a job with the street car company,
but had to give it up on account of
his condition.
"Ffe simply couldn't eat anything
that would agree with him and he
would suffer so much with gripping
and pains that he'd have to be up
and down all night.
eve had several doctors too see
him and they said number of diff
ferent things was the trouble and
advised US to send him to a hospital.
He wasn't able to do anything in
the way of work and nothing SEEM
ed to do him any good until we
found out about Tanlae and got him
started on it..
''He is now on the third bottle and
he has improved so much that you'd
badly know him. He sleeps we'll at
night and gets up in the morning
bright and cheerful and all of his old
troubles have LETT him. It had been
three years since he could do any
thing to help around the house., but
now he cuts up the wood and kind /
ling can do just anything like that.

100000 MEN FIRST
To BATTLE ABROAD
THREE ARMS OF AMERICAS
FIGHTING FORCE ARE SOON
TO LEAVE, FOR EUROPE.

WASHINGTON. D. C.-All taree
arms of Americas fighting forces,
the army, navy and marine corps
soon will be represented in the, war
zones.
With American destroyers already,
combating the U-boat menace in
European waters and army regulars
concentrating to carry the flag to-
the lines in Belgium and France a
regiment of marines was designated
to-day to Join the expeditionary forse
and round out the nations represen~
tation in the field.
The marines wifi be attached to
the army division under General
| Pershing which is under orders to
proceed abroad as soon as praotic-
able. Although details are not being
made public, it was calculated to-
night that with the marine regiment
the total American force now desig-
mated for land service in Europe is
close to 100000. An army division at
war strength comprises about 5000
men and upwards Of 10000 are ex-
pected to be in the nine volunteer
regiments of engineers now being re-
cruited. The forestry regiment and
the marine regiment each win num-
Der more than 1000. The strength
of the naval force in European wa
ters has not been revealed.
To Keep Movement Secret.
/ General Pershing and his staff will
sail for Europe ahead of the troops
as there is much to be done on the
other side to pave the way for fina
training of the force and for tn,
huge army, the United States is pre-
pairing to pour across the seas afte,
it, as rapidly as men can be trained
and equipped.
For obvious reasons, no informa
ton as to the time of the America
commanders departure or his desti
nation will be made public.

The registration board in Terrell

who is secretary or clerk; Ordinary
L. C. Hoyl, and County Physician
Chappell. Under the act County Soil
citor Gurr is the legal adviser of the
board.
Adjutant General Nash. who will
supervise the registration in Georgia,
has issued Instructions which indi-
cate that the government will insist
that every man within the prescribed
age limit shall register and be accu-
rate in his answers to all questions.
The instructions indicate further
that, while the government is anxious
not to hold anybody liable for draft
Who should for just reasons be ex-
empted, it does not propose to allow
eligible men to hide behind petit
coats and children"
Those Who Are Exempt.
eff it is true that there is another
mouth than your own which you
alone have a duty to feed" say the
instructions, "do not let your military
ardOr interfere with the wish of the
nation to reduce wars misery to
minimum. On the other hand, I'M
less the person you have in mind is
solely dependent upon you, do not
hide behind petticoats or children"
Exemption, however, is not to be
judged solely by dependent relatives,
but the nature of ones work, his
physical fitness, his religious creed
and other elements will enter into
the case.
General Nash requested the board

zion is not CONSUMPTION itself, but

he otherwise disabled? (Specify.)
When a man has registered he will

Terrell's Part.
There is some confusion as to the
number Georgia will be required to
furnish under selective draft. At first
it was given as 1875; then the
| statement was made that the num-
Der would be 1900. Now it is said
that Georgia's part will be about s.
600 or approximately FIVE per cent.
of the registration.
If the last figures are true Terrell
county will be drawn on for only
about 80 men.
There is heavy penalty for fail
ure too register and influencing any
one not to register. Negroes as
we'll as whites will be required to
register and be subject to army duty
the same as whites.

GUARD FOR WILSON
AIDED BY CAVALRY
Precautions Taken When He
Refuses to Change Plans.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Extra precau-
tions were taken to-day to guard the
President whose safety gave the secret
service genuine concern, particularly AS
the time drew near for his address to
Congress. Two troops OF United States
cavalry were called out this evening to
help the police guard the Capitol The
strictest regulations werc enforced to
prevent any crank or malefactor from
gaining admission.
The attack on Senator Lodge aroused
fears for the Presidents safety. Repre-
sentations were made to the President
by leading members Of Congress that II
might be unwise for him to go to the
Capitol to-day. The President refused
to listen to them. He insisted that he
had no fears for his own safety and that
to change his plan would be detrimental
to the interest OF the nation.
