the NEGRO PROBLEM"
IS ACUTE IN CnlCAGO
Two Items in Metropolitan
Paper Tuesday Shows
"Problem" Not q
Problem In the
South

Chicago, Jan. 2. Rapid influx
of negroes here has created q
problem of Importance to Chicago
today. The colored population
is estimated at between 10000
and Is. 900. The black belt
is rapidly widening. Negroes
have a city within a city,"
Considered of most Importance
in connection with the situation
is the residence problem. The
negro district has become q
haven of vice, driven from other
parts of the city by clean up"
orders. Negro boys and girls
are brought up in the midst OF
immortality. Bawdy houses,
gambling dens. saloons and other
agents of destruction have be-
come established in the negro
district.
Of strange connection is the
fact that, 1877 years ago, Jean
Baptiste Point De Sable. Santo
Domingo free negro, built the
first house on the shores of Lake
Michigan where Chicago now
spreads out over a territory OF
1913 square miles.

DR.. EDWARDS NOW
RECOMMENDS IT
Prominent Georgia Physi-
clan Now Gives Master
Medicine His Unquali-
fed Endorsement

DR.. ]. T. Edwards, of Fayette-
vile. Ca, one Of fthe best-known
members of the l. laical profess
sion in the state of Georgia,
made q statement shat .,will un-
doubtedly produce a profound
impression throughout the South
In my thirty years of active
practice as a licensed physician
in the state of Georgia., says
DR.. Edwards, Il have never
seen anything to equal Tanlac
as a medicine to produce results.
l hhar the people on alssides tell
ing of the benefits they have
derived from its use,
'TanlacNis simply the talk of
my town, Nhave mo hesitancy
in recommending the medicine;
and as a mattef of fact, l am
prescribing it for my patients
almost every day.
Only a few days ago a we'll
known woman Of Fayetteville
came to me and told me about
the remarkable relief her daugh-
ter had gained from the use of
this medicine. She said her
daughter had been confined to
her bed for three years with
what had been pronounced
pellagra, and that after using
Tanlac for short time she was
able to be about, and was on
the road to recovery. ~~-
But this is only one instance.
People in all walks of life in and.
around our little city are giving
similar Endorsements to the med
icine. Seldom day passes that
someone does not come to me
and say something about the
good results they are getting
from the use of Tanlac.
Several unusual gains in
weight have been reported by
some of our most prominent
people, and | have treated some
stubborn cases of indigestion,
catarrhal conditions, and organic
disorders. and secured splendid
results with Tanlac. !"
Commencing upon this state
ment, Mr.. G. F. Willis. southern
distributor of Tanlac, said:
Coming from the high source
it does. and especially from a
member Of the medical profess
sion. this straightforward utter
ance of DIR. Edwards is more
than recommendation. 1t is a
triumph! Tanlac. Natures great

the greatest discoveries of the

CHITiNA-FAIRBANk TRAIL
 AUTO BOULEVARD IN SPOTS

More than one hundred miles in a little less than six and one-half hours travelling. That is the record which has just been established by Bobby Sheldon, Fairbanks pioneer trail au- tomobilist, by reason of the fact that he was the first man to drive a ma chine over the BIO miles of trail that stretch between Fairbanks and Chitina. Bobby's initiatory trip was made away back in 1913, and since then he has made better time than he did on that trip. but never better than he made yesterday, when he drove from Fairbanks to Birch lake and back to town again, distance of approxi- mately 102 miles, in little less than six and one-half hours.
 Sheldon says that the trail be- tween Fairbanks and Birch lake is like a city boulevard. It is as hard as stone and as smooth as an asphalt ed street in most places, making it possible to drive an automobile over it at top speed on long stretches. - Fairbanks NewsMiner.

CORDOVAN DRIFTS INTO
 RESTRICTED WAR ZONE.

In letter to a Cordovan, our for mer townsman. Harry Delvig tells of leaving for France on the steamship City of Pueblo. He is mate of the ship, having recently obtaineh his pa pers as such, and apparently had lit tie fear as to the trip.
 The letter is of interest to his old friends. also in that he says he re- gently secured his papers as mate.
 That he and other steamship men do not fear the submarine blockade was evident from the letter. as he joked about sending postcards from Havre, France, upon his arrival there, unless he was sent to another world by a submarine.
 Many of Mir. Delvig's friends will remember that during the early part of the war he had an exciting expert ence when a yacht on which he was working was fired upon by a German boat. At that time he declared he was through with the sea, but he has drifted back to it.

Chief among the attractions will be the bevy of girl clowns, for which Sam McCracken searched the country for months. He declined to sign any of these girl clowns who did not dem onstrate that they could look, stand, walk, talk and just naturally be funny. The circus will give performances every day for four days.

MINING OUTLOOK PROMISING IN
 INTERIOR

Malcolm Brock returned yesterday from Mccarthy, where the Blum, O'Neill Company purchased the stock of w. w. Harvey & Co.,, and will con duct a branch store.
 Mir. Brock is very enthusiastic over the outlook for the interior country, and believes that the day is not far distant when Mccarthy will be one of the large and important towns of Alas ka, as it is the distributing point for a highly mineralized belt, which is be- ing extensively opened up.
 "Of course the Bonanza and Jumbo mines hold the worlds record as rich producers, but there are other proper. ties that are now, or soon will be, on a shipping basis" said Mir. Brock. "At the present time the Mother Lode mine has 800 tons of copper ore at Mo Carthy ready for transportation for Cordova, and it's output this season is likely to be $5O0,0OO.
 "The copper property recently taken over by P. J. Bonner, on the Chitti- stone, is most promising one. There is now at Mccarthy about sixty-five tons of ore awaiting shipment to the smelter, and the work of development is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Then there is the Tjosevig- Kennecott Company's mines, where surveys are being made, trails blazed and supplies freighted, as preliminary to development work. These are only few of the many properties to be worked this season."
