87 GERMAN SHIPS FORMALLY TURNED
 OVER ID BOARD
Half Million of Seized Ton mage Will Now Be Placed in Operation by the
 Government

Washington, June 30.-Eighty-seve of the German merchant ships seized in American ports at the outbreak of the war were turned by President Wilson to the shipping board today for opera tion. The other 14 already are in posses sion of the navy department.
 Title to the vessels was vested in the President in a resolution passed by Con- gress in May. Many of them have al seady been repaired and put into service by the shipping board which proceeded unofficially without awaiting todays ex- ecutive order giving it formal jurisdic- ton.
 The total tonnage of the ST ships ex- ceeds 5O0,000 Several have gone to the war department for transports but it has not been decided definitely whether they are to remain under control of the department or will revert to the shipping board. The Presidents order nominally puts all under the boards control.
 The ships retained for commercial serv- ice will be put for the most part into transatlantic runs, although several to be brought from Maile to the Pacific coast for repairs may be kept in the Pacific Those at Honolulu also may remain in the Pacific to move the great amount of freight awaiting shipment along the coast to Vladivostok
 The shipping board has announced no general policy concerning operation of the German ships or of the fleet the government is building, but it is under stood vessels will be chartered for single trips. This plan was pursued by the board in chartering the first ships re- paired to the French and Italian govern ments for transportation of food and coal. The board, it is said, has no in tention of operating ships directly, and thus competing with private shipping concerns.
 Virtually all of the ships soon will be repaired and in service

Dreaded Operation" "Tan- lac Has Made Me as We'll as I Ever Was"
 She Says

'I shuddered when they told me I'd have to be operated on, for I couldn' t bear the idea of going under the sur geon's knife, and thank heaven 1 won't, for Tanlac has made me as well as ever was" is the remarkable statement made d few days ago by Mrs. J. N. TaEkersley. whose husband is one of the most prominent farmers of Irwin county, living some three miles from Ocilla, Ga.
 T suffered from indigestion for sev- cral years. she continued, and every thing l ate would naus cate me. I had constant pains in my side, my nerves were all unstruns and l couldn't sleep at all well. I became discouraged and blue and I got so weak 1 had to take to my bed once for two weeks and when I got up had to go back again for two or three weeks longer. My condition was pitiable for they said I could never get well until I had my appendix removed. I just wouldn't consent to it.
 T had seen in the papers where Tan lac had helped others in my condition, and decided to see if it would help me- too I have taken three bottles so far and I haven't had a single symptom of the indigestion nor the pains that 1 thought were appendicitis since. I sleep perfectly sound al night and have gained a good deal in weight and I am in as good health as I ever was I gladly give this statement of my own accord, for l want other sufferers to know the fact that there is a medicine that will re- 1eve them and it's name is Tanlac."
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company; in Ensley shx7D. w. Morris Drug company; in Bes- ss1iler by Pegram-Patton Drug company; in Pratt City by Gale Drug company, and in North Birmingham by Walker Drus ccmpany.-Adv.
