 PICTURE OF HEALTH
Couldn't Get Up Steps Without Help-Now Gets About as Lively as Any body-Gains Is Pounds on Tanlac.

CT am certainly delighted with what Tanlac has done for me. It has not only increased by weight sixteen pounds, but am now enjoying better health than l have at any time in the past eight years" said Mrs. T. c. Cor bitt, residing at 12 Ponders avenue, Atalnta, Ga.
 "Ye5, sir" continued Mrs. Corbitt, "my husband and I think so much of Ianlac we are now buying two more bottles, one for me and one to make present to Methodist preacher friend of OUTS. l was simply rundown in every way and was very weak. My knees were so stiff l couldn't get up and down the steps I had to have help or pull up by the banisters. My back was never easy and 1 couldn't get up by myself when 1 was down. 1 lost weight and got in such q feeble con- dition l couldn't do any housework at all. l had such a poor appetite l could hardly eat a thing, and eevrything hurt me. My food would sour and cause my stomach to puff up and make me miserable for hours at time. This is just the condition l was in for eight long years. 1 was under treat ment all that time and spent many g dollar, but I kept getting weaker un- til I started on Tanlac.
 "After reading the testimonials of well-known Atlanta people 1 decided to try Tanlac. It was my last resort and if it had failed me 1 suppose would have just had to keep on suf fering. But Tanlac was just what needed and it has done me so much good I told my husband l wanted to indorse it for the benefit of others. have just finished my second bottle and I weigh sixteen pounds more, and people say Pm the picture of health. 1 can eat anything i want now and can go up an q down the steps with as muc hease as I could before my trou- bles began. My back has stopped hurt ing me and the headaches have disap- peared and l feel splendid all the time.'

THE GREAT DIVIDE.

The woman in the prime Of life need not dread to meet the loss of her youth when growing elderly. While some charms diminish, others should renlace thenl-charms of experience, culitavtion, wisdom. The great phy- sical changes met between the 1or- tieth and fiftieth year are indeed se- rjous, and are not always we'll borne. Tn the strain of modern life, few women are in condition to meet these changes without some apprehension of deranged health. But with the eX' cellent help of Lydia B. Pinkham, 5 Vegetable Compound, that old, trust worthy woman's medicine, a woman may confidently expect to enter later life as we'll and robust as ever.

MAN Who HIT 7. R.
Husky Captain Blinded Eye in
Boxing Bout.
He Never Knew He Had In
jured Former President.
He is NOW A COLONEL
Was ROOsevelt's Aide When the
Accident Happened.
Colonel Was a Game Opponent,
Army Man Says.

The man who hit Colonel Roosevelt
in the eye has been found at the head
Of regiment at Camp Meade, Ad-
miral, Nd. Col. Dan T. Moore has
been identified as the man who dim
med the ex-president's left eye in a
boxing bout at the White House
twelve years ago.
If Mr.. Roosevelt had said "ouch,"
the mystery would have been cleared
up sooner.
ST honestly do not know" Colonel
Moore says If 1 did hit the presi-
dent in the eye so hard as to break
blood vessel and cause the loss of
sight, 1 have never known of it. As
a matter of fact, 1 never knew that he
was blind in one eye until people be-
gan asking me about it down here
several days ago following his admis-
sion at the health farm. OF course, I
am sorry 1 struck the blow"
Was CoIonePs Aide.
When Colonel Roosevelt said that
his opponent was a husky young cap
tain of artillery, someone got busy
among the records at Washington. 1t
was found that when he was a cap
tain Moore was one of President
Roosevelt's aides and enjoyed the dis
tinction of having more bouts in the
gymnasium than anyone else.
Colonel Moore is one of the most
athletic men in the army. He has two
hundred pounds of solid muscle,
stands 5 feet Il inches and has a pair
of keen eyes that can follow the swift
est uppercut or jab.
! In discussing the way President
Roosevelt fought, Colonel Moore
that he would put on the
gloves and then, going to the middle
of the ring, would invite his opponent
| to come and fight Take that and
that" was the way the president talk
| ed as he sent across a few ripsnorting
blows. He was the president of the
| opponent to let him get away with
everything. There's one sure thing.
Colonel Moore never gave him the
| chance.
Gave t. r. Good Fight.
Colonel Dan, rugged as the Rock of
| Gibraltar, would toe that line and
would shoot those hefty rights and
lefts of his back at the colonel. He
would jab and uppercut and swing for
| the head or the ribs or the jaw. Strong
as Teddy was and powerful as were
his blows, the young captain of artillery
would smile that same smile of his
now so popular with his men, would
show his laughing teeth and send back
| the Wallops.
Roosevelt generally knew he had
| had a boxing bout when he was thru
with the captain. That was why he
kept after the artillery officer more
and more. The young captain was
about the most sought after man for
the presidents gymnasium.
There were several other young men
who boxed with the president among
them young Phil Sheridan and Gran
vile Fortescue, now a major at Camp
Lee, Petersburg. Neither of them
fought with Colonel Roosevelt as much
as Moore and neither of them was
anything like that officer in build.
Colonel Roosevelt refuses comment
There is to be nothing more to say
about that matter" was the only thing
| the colonel would say.

THE DAFFODILS.

The dearest, merriest maids of all
the spring are the dancing, laughing
daffodils. I love them so much that
my garden is almost given up to them
When the warm, gentle days of spring
come. ask for nothing better than to
walk among them and smile and talk
to them, or throw kisses to them from
my window.
One May-Day. 1 may have been
dreaming, but as I looked out of my
window, all these dear daffodils were
holding a May-Day party. How
sweet and merry they looked Dresses
all yellow and green and bonneIs of
mellowest gold With laughing eyes
and tripping feet round and round the
pole they went, winding in and wind
ing out, now a pause, a little bow.
and then unwound again
Suddenly, L could scarcely believe
my eyes. they dropped their ribbons.
and with the merriest laugh, away,
