That She Held Train False.

made against the Santa Fe. 1t was

the opera company of which Madam
Nellie Melba was "a member. to Fort
Worth, stopped at Purcell at meal
Nime; that members of the opera
would not go to the dining room while
other people were there and that the
train was held an unusually long
time.
Trainmen, testifying. said this was
not the fact, that trainmen as well
as others sat at the same table with
members OF the show. The train was
unusually crowded, II was said. which
required a second table," and this
accounted for holding II there 80 long.
With this explanation the commission
dismissed the case.

Backache

In spite of the best care. one takes
of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.

kidneys to their normal state Of health" J"

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee VIII
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

WashingtOn.-Crea of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
j. P. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war
"Our enemies" he said ''fOr all their
boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it,"
The TeutOnic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
diate a large part of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means. by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans." AS a result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.

|far-reaching disease banishing, health
compelling remedy of the age, and
the phenomenal success the prepa-
ration has achieved throughout the
country proves conclusively that my
confidence in Tanlac is well placed.
'The ingredients or medicinal ele-
ments which make Tanlac come from
many remote sections of the earth
the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia,
West Indies, mountain states near the
Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru
are among the points from which prin-
cipal parts of the preparation are OBJ
tanned. In the principal laboratory
of the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc, under
the efficient direction Of a chemist of
note, those medicinal herbs, roots and
barks are assembled in the rough and
painstakingly developed so as to at
tain that high standard of efficiency
shown by the uniform preparation,
Tanlac."
The wonderful success which Tan
lac has achieved seems almost incred-
ible, as over Seven Million bottles have
been sold and distributed since it was
placed on the market, something over
two years ago, and it is now selling
at the phenomenal rate of approx
mately Five Million bottles per year.
One retail firm, the Jacobs Phar-
macy Company, of Atlanta has sold
at retail in their eleven Atlanta stores
the astonishing total of $4,000 bottles
within the past twelve months, break
ing all records for the sale of pro-
prietaxy medicine in the same length
of time.
Memphis dealers and jobbers have
sold 208,116 bottles since April,s 1916.
Texas dealers and jobbers have sold
approximately Half a Million bottles
within the past six months, and it is
now the most widely talked of medi-
cine in the world today.
There is only one explanation for
this Nation wide popularity and rec
ord breaking demand for Tanlac and
that is very simple. The inherent
purity and wholesOmeness of the med
icine has confirmed it in the minds Of
the people and have made it a house
hold word throughout America.
The leading drug firms of Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo are en-
thusiastic over the wonderful success
the preparation is making in this Sec
ton and in only a few weeks time

thousands of the most prominent
people in st. Louis, Cincinnati Dallas,
Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Louis
vile, Nashville and even the larger
cities of the North and East, where
his celebrated medicine has been ac-
complishing such remarkable results,
are even more enthusiastic over Tan
lac than Mr.. Cooper himself.
1t is Mr.. Cooper's theory that nine
tenthS Of the diseases and ill-health
of the average person is due to ca
tarrhal inflammation of the mucous
membrane which produces faulty di-
gestion and improper assimilation of
the food.
In a recent interview, Mr.. Cooper
2 was asked if Tanlac would relieve
Kidney trouble, Liver complaint and
q dozen other ailments and in this
connection, said:
"As have repeatedly said, my med
icine acts directly on the mucous
membrane, stomach and blood, expel-
ling from them the impurities and
toxic poisons, and rendering to them
strong, healthy condition.
'I am convinced that the stomach
regulates the condition of the blood,
and is the fountainhead of health or
disease, as the case may be. My

regulation of the stomach and catar-
rhal Inflammation, but it is no uncOm-

1t to come to me and explain that it
has relieved them of rheumatism and
many other ailments not generally
recognized as having their origin in
stomach trouble.
'Most of the so-called stomach,
liver and kidney troubles" continued
Mr.. Cooper, 'are due almost entirely
to a catarrhal inflammation of these
organs and it is believed that Tanlac
Is the first actually direct specific
therefor.
"Catarrh of the stomach, liver and
kidneys is the most frequent cause of
dyspepsia and kidney disorders and a
catarrhal condition of the nose and
throat often leads to deafness. FIRE.
quently the lungs become diseased by
the extension of the catarrhal infam-
nation by way of the bronchial tubes
to the lung substance. The mental
and physical state of the chronic ca
tarrh sufferers is indeed very unfortu-

In it's most obstinate stages, and the
preparation, therefore, must be, as |
