Washington Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal.


Washington, Feb. 26.-Congress-
man-elect Walter Kehoe, of Pensa-
cola, occupied seat in the house of
representatives today when President
Wilson made his address to congress
asking greater authority to maintain
the rights of Americansh on the seas.
He was much pleased with the
presidents address. He said:
II think the president has hit the
nail right on the head" said Kehoe.
"He has asked for authority to pur-
sue course which, I believe, will
insure the maintenance of our rights.
l hope and believe that when Ger
many understands we will stand by
our rights, she will respect them and
that we shall not be forced into war.
President Wilson has kept us out of
war three years, and / believe he does
not mean to get into it now. But our
rights must be respected, and ! think
the president has adopted the proper
course to insure their observance"
Congressman and Mrs. Kehoe and
Mrs. Wilson, wife of Judge G. L.
Wilson, of Mariana, arrived here
yesterday. Mr.. Kehoe said he would
remain in Washington about two
months, whether or not there is an
extra session of congress, to prepare
for taking up his duties as congress-
man and attending to a number of
matters for his constituents.

THIS WOMAN WAS

BUT JUST REFUSED TO SUB
NIT AND TOOK TANLAC IN
SEAD," SAYS MRS. MAYS.

II refused to submit to an opera
ton which I was told was the only
way out of my troubles, and took
Tanlac, and I have not only gained
fifteen pounds on two bottles of the
medicine, but everybody is talking
about my wonderful improvement, !"
said Mrs. J. NJ. Mays, residing at
1716 Twelfth street, Augusta, in her
statement few days ago. Mrs. Mays
husband is a wood and coal dealer,

his community,
fourteen months ago." continued
Mrs. Mays, 81 began suffering with
my stomach, kidneys and other
troubles, and my condition was grow
ing worse all the time. / got so
suffered with headache constantly,
and at times they were so severe
thought I would die with them. The
pain in my right side around my kid
ney was so terrible / could hardly
bear it, and my back ached me con-
tinually. My appetite failed me en-
tirely, and what little I could eat
seemed to poison my system and as
sist my other trouble in daily drag
ging me down. My extreme nervous
ness and constant pain made it almost
impossible for me to sleep. I lost
weight, and was so weak and run
down I had no breath scarcely, and it
just looked like could not live. Final
ly was told that everything had been
done for me that could be and an
operation was the only thing left for
me, and the mental worry with all my
bodily affliction made my condition
terrible.
81 read an Endorsement for Tanlac
given by friend of mine, and that
gave me new hope. I decided to try
that medicine before allowing the OPP
Grafton, and to say I'm delighted does
not half way express it. I felt better
right from the start, and my improve
ment has been so rapid it is really
wonderful. / haven't had headache
at all since began taking Tanlac,
and those awful pains left my side
and back before I had finished my
first bottle, and the dread of an OPP
GRAFTON left with them. My kidneys
have also stopped troubling me. My
appetite is good, and ] can eat any
thing I want and sleep like a child at
night. All that weakness and run
down feeling have disappeared, and I
have plenty of breath. feel stronger
and my condition is better in every
way than before in fourteen months.
I have gained fifteen pounds in
weight, and, of course, I'm proud OF
that, but the best thing is I'm relieved
of all that dreadful suffering. I think
Tanlac is the greatest medicine in the
world and there ought to be bottle
of it in every home"
Genuine Tanlac is sold only and ex-
clusively in Pensacola by the Crystal
Pharmacy-Adv.

T,HROUGH the negligence Of live stock owners food
animals valued at $4,000 were killed on the tracks
Of the Central Of Georgia Railway during the FIRST nine
months or this year. According 10 statement Of the
VicePresdent and General Manager Of that road 1862
head Of stock needlessly wasted In this manner
the average value Of which approximately $40 TO
sit per head Fine dairy COWS and beef battle were
included, as well as hogs sheep. geese ETC.
DUNG those nine months one animal was killed for
every mile Of track the Central Of Georgia. and II
that figure be accepted basis for estimating the
loss for the entire country. the destruction Of food
animals on the railway tracks Of the United States
during the nrst nine months Of this year can be put
at 81 10000 s3,6s0OeO for the whole year
THAT is very serious loss TO the country and its
allies at this time said Secretary Redned in a state
ment issued by his Department today "and gives point
to the opinions recently expressed by Mr. L. W. Bald
wn' NcePresiden and General Manager of the Central
Of Georgia Railway. and published in the Savannah
Morning News" Mr. Badwin's opinions are here re-
printed in part:
For the nine months up TO October is Of this year
there killed tracks 1852 head Of stock the
average value of which is approximately $40 to s per
head Some OF these are nne dairy COWS and beef cat
tie and other head include hogs sheep, geese, etc
In practically all of these s62 instances the owners
OF the stock have allowed the animals TO roam upon or
near the railroad right of way, and with the charac-
terisc fright OF dumb animals they do not know how
to protect their own lives, but rush pe nell in front
Of locomotives and the engineer has little chance
to avoid striking them After It Is killed the animal is
not considered NJ for food and though the owner
received compensation from the railway to cover his
individual loss much food has been lost which would
benefit the country at this time
Just now, when there is being conducted a nation
wide campaign for the conservation Of food and when
each Of is being asked to do his bit toward saving
something to eat would It not be fair and right for the
Of live stock TO keep their cattle within RANGE
and away from the railroad s. where they tres
pass to the ultimate cost OF O.? l consider this
question serious enough o. the instant con-
sideration Of every county an, ary municipality as
well every individual, and f there are localities
where proper laws do not exist with respect to roam
Ing live stock suitable laws ought to be drafted and
passed Assuming that other railroads have about the
experience that have. the economic loss in
this State, and in the country every year. from this
cause must be enormous"
