J. D. Hawkins Says His Wife Gained Fifteen Pounds
 on Three Bottles.
SUFFERED 20 YEARS
Wife's Improvement Has Been Won- derful-All Her Neighbors Talk ing About How Much Bet
 ter She Looks.

"rm taking a forty-mile trip to get more Tanlac," was the remarkable statement made by J. D. Hawkins, a well-known and prosperous farmer, in Jacobi's Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn, recently.
 "Yes, sir" he continued. "I live at Bartlett Tenn, and drove eight miles to Raleigh this morning to catch the trolley to Memphis, which is twelve miles more, so when I get home that will make forty miles I've travelled to get this Tanlac, and that's proof enough of what think about it.
 'I declare I never saw or heard of a medicine doing as much good as this Tanlac has done my wife. She has ac- tually gained fifteen pounds on three bottles of it and besides it has re- lieved her of troubles that have been weakening her down for nearly twenty years. She suffered with indigestion gas and gave her severe pains in the stomach. She had no appetite at all and suffered with nervous headaches until she couldn't sleep at night. She was so tired all the time that she couldn't do any of her housework at all. l was just about to give up in despair, for we had tried everything we could get hold of, when l read about Tanlac and got bottle for her.
 "Well, sir, she has taken three bot ties so far and her improvement has just been wonderful and that's the req son I am making this trip, because l don't want her to be without Tanlac. She can do all her own housework now and is relieved of the indigestion and has good appetite. Her nerves are quiet and the headaches are all gone and she can sleep well at night. She Is gaining in health and strength all the time and the neighbors are all talking about how much better she looks.
 q certainly do indorse Tanlac, for after what 1t has done for my wife, l believe it is the best medicine in the world"

 Expense Comparatively Small.
 The expense of the work cannot yet be estimated, but compared 10 its volume it will be proportionately very small.
 In Little Rock and in Lee county there was no expense connected with the work, and that all supplies, etc., were donated, and all work done vol. untarily.
 No information has been received either by the United States district attorney or by the United States mar shal of any violation of the selecive draft act in this federal district. Not even a report of the failure of any person subject to draft who had failed to register has reached either official Investigation is being conducted by the marshal to ascertain if there have been any violations. In case of ar rests special Grand Jury will be summoned by Judge Jacob Trieber, and those indicted, if any, will be tried by the court without delay.

WHITES,
 44,475 NEGROES
TOTAL OF 146,856 IN ARKANSAS REGISTER FOR MILITARY
 SERVICE.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Only 40 hours after the close of registration Gov. Brough telegraphed the president the full official count of registration in Arkansas, totaling 147,- 522 men. The estimate for Arkansas, issued from Washington some time ago, was approximately 15S,0O0.
 The last of the 13 counties which had not telegraphed complete returns was received when Phillips county. where there had been wire trouble, sent in it's totals. Fifteen minutes la- ter the report from the state of Ark ansas was on it's way to Washington over the wire. An early report from the Associated Press showed that the report had been received.
 The report shows a total of 102,- SS3 whites registering and 69,945 who may be exempted; 44,475 negroes, 29,251 who may be exempt; 56 aliens, and 98 alien enemies. As the aliens and alien enemies are not at present subject to draft, the report shows a total of 47.662 men eligible for the draft, and not claiming exemptions.
 Not All Sought Exemption.
 Military officials explained that the term "claim exemption" is not prop erly applicable to the 69,945 white men and 29.251 negroes. Many of these did not claim exemption. The list includes men who have depend ent relatives, those who are physical 1y unfit, those who may be needed in other lines of work in addition to those who actually did claim exemp- tion.
 The governor expressed himself as highly gratified by the large number registering in Arkansas, and also Ut the speed and efficiency with which the county reports had been handled.
 Officials in the Military Department tabulated theT in columns by coun- ties. The next step in the work is the compilation of duplicate registry cards which will be filed in the Milf tary Department. A filing case con- taining 360 boxes in which whites, aliens. alien enemies and negroes can be kept separately by counties has been arranged in the Military Depart ment preparatory to receiving and filing the 147,000 cards.

The Third Assistant Postmaster
General has Issued the following:
AS a measure of economy post
masters and post. Office employees are
directed to encourage the public to
use stamps of the highest denom-
nations suited to the amount of post
age required on all mail. For exam
a 2-cent stamp instead of two 1-cent
stamps should be affixed to letters
needing 2 cents postage, and 1O-cent
stamp instead of five 2-cents should
be attached to paroles requiring 10
cents postage. Cooperation between
post Office employees and the public
in the sale and use of stamps of the
higher denominations will effect
large saving to the Government in
the cost of producing, transporting,
and canceling them, and will benefit
the pnblic in minimizing the number
of stamps handled and affixed to mail.
This benefit will be especially import
ant to business concerns mailing
large quantities of letters and parcels.
and postmasters are directed to bring
the suggestion particularly to their
notice.
Postmasters will cause this sugges-
ton to be published i'm the newspapers
when it can be done without expense
to the department.

Mr.. ". J. van SANIEN.

The Gazette regrets exceedingly to
chronicle the death of Mr.. VIM. j. van
Santen, which occurred in New Or
leans on Wednesday, June 18th, in
the 44th year Of his age, after a long
and painful illness.
Mr.. van Santen was born in Eng
land, coming to the United States in
young manhood. Locating at Vicks-
burg he engaged in the cotton busi-
ness and became prominentin business
and social circles of that city. In 1902
he was married at Natchez to Miss
Mary Garrett, daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Garrett Of st. Jo-
seph. Some ears later deceased moved
to New Orleans, where re continued
actively in the cotton business, and
was well known and highly esteemed.
He was high-toned and honorable
gentleman indeed . man without
fear and without reproach. He is
survived by his widow and two sons,
Henry Garrett and VIM. ]. van San
ten, Jr., besides q large number Of
relatives in England.
The sympathy Of our entire people
is extended to the grief-stricken wife
and children in the taking of devot1
ed husband and kind and indulgent
father. The remains were inferred in
Natchez.

" CIVILIZATION"

Civilization, Thomas Fl. Ince's mil
lion dollar film spectacle which comes to
the st. Joseph Electric Theatre on We'd
nesday and Thursday, June 9th and
2Sth, is remarkable for the fact that it
presents on the screen the first filmed
record OF how a submarine operates when
attacking big steamer.
1t was through the investigation of Mr..
J. Parker Read, Jr., Mr.. Thos. H. Ince's
personal representative, that the United
States Government agreed to cooperate
in the taking of this portion of the CIV
ilization" film. 1t is customary for the
Navy in its quarterly off Point Iona,
San Diego, to use for target practice an
old discarded steamer or freight vessel.
Mr.. Read agreed to furnish the battle
ship seen in Civilization, for this pur-
pose, and on behalf of Mr.. Ince to pay
for the expensive torpedoes and shells
used in the fray. The Government agreed
to furnish two battleships, two torpedo
boat destroyers, one cruiser, and two sub
marines, the latter being of the H boat
class.
The battle as fought for the movies &C.
tually lasted q minutes. There were 800
shots fired in the air for the most part by
the hired motion picture soldiers. OF the
900 real shots fired by the United States
Navy men,-each one carefully timed
and placed, -ninety-two per cent were
effective, which is record Uncle Sam
can well be proud Of.
The sinking OF three enemy ships takes
place in full view of the audience, and
one boat lie blown 500 feet in the air,
while all about the sea is tortured into
a thousand seething spouts by the burst
ing shells.

Mr.. AIoNzo S. Lewis.

Again it is the painful duty of the
Gazette to chronicle another death i'm
our community and the passing away
from his sphere of usefulness of an
other life-iong citizen Of Tensas par
ish.
Mr.. Alonzo s. Lewis died last Sat-
urday morning, June Sth, at the home
of his brother-in-law, Mr.. +. F..
Newell, in st. Joseph, in the 67th
year of his age, after illness covering
several months, but he had not been
confined to his bed but two weeks
when death relieved his suffering.
Deceased was the fourth son OF the
late Judge Reeve Lewis, in his day
we'll known attorney of st. Joseph.
Born here, Alonzo Lewis spent his
entire life in Tensas parish and was
always an energetic man, faithful to
duty and to friends. In 1891 he mar
ried Miss Rebecca Young, daughter
of the late Col. w. c. Yong, and
when not engaged in cotton planting
has been Unidentified with the sheriff's
Office and Court House at ST. Joseph
for number of years. He was good
husband and father and was kind and
devoted to his family and ever
thoughtful of their happiness and
welfare, always thinking of self last.
He will long be sadly missed in his
home as we'll as in this commun ity
and our people are a unit in joining
the Gazette in extending sympathy
to his widow and son, Mr.. Reeve
Lewis, and daughter, Miss Willie
Lewis.
The remains were taken to Natchez
for interment and we're followed to
their last resting place by a large dele
CATION of friends, who took a sad
pleasure in paying their last respects
TO one who possessed the good will
and kindly esteem of our entire peo-
pie.
