Young Wilmington Man
Tells All About Tanlac
In Open Letter
FELLOW EMPLOYEES
PUT HIM WISE"

The following letter. which holds
especial interest for the people OF
Wilmington, was received several
days ago among a flood of mail by
Edward Hales Drum, the famous Tan
lac Man:
Dear Sr: l am writing this to
show my appreciation of what your
wonderful medicine, Tanlac, perform
ed for me.
Il am twenty-five years old and
have been delicate practically all my
life, having suffered from nervous
uess, indigestion and lack of energy.
Il was treated. but without being
helped, and tried all kinds of prep
arat ons with similar failure.
Hearing of Tanlac through fellow
emplOye, and since it is only a dollar,
I resolved to give it a trial. Upon
taking one bottle, / have improved
wonderfully and am able to perform
my work with tie Bell Telephone
Company, with more energy both to
my satisfaction and theirs.
Il have a better appetite and be-
l'eve that I can now digest any food.
Also, I have put on weight and feel
better than at any time in my life.
IF this letter can benefit other
men, don't hesitate to use it and I will
gladly answer any inquiries addressed
to me regarding the value of Tanlac
as a rebuilder OF health.
Very sincerely yours
(S'gnedl Fulton G.. Turner,
'402 W. Seventh street, Will. Del"

say the street car company came be-

fore we even would take it into con-
sideratiOn, or would we not think it
over a dozen times before you and l
would allow the proposed subway

crease the value in property all over
Chicago on account of business being
rushed to the loop? Or do you think
for a moment that we as nOnparti-
sans would allow the chief of police
to arrest innocent workers who hap
pen to strike for a wage in order that
they may exist and to which they are
entitled to-, or do you think that you

out providing for the people some

street crossings as possible?
Why are none of the above things
done now? Because of political or
CARNATIONS. The individual alder
man or legislator is helpless. He
either must obey the orders OF the
political organization or die hard. A
political organization is nothing else
but a trust. The leaders of these
trusts are there for what there is in
it, and when they are done very little
is left for the public. Take, for in
stance, our present city administra-

WILSON AND SUFFRAGE.-In
an article in the American recently
Miss Anne Martin said something
about them showing their mettle in
the recent campaign against Wilson
because he would not make suffrage
a national amendment.
Well, Wilson voted for suffrage in
his state, didn't he? Does that mean
that he is opposed to it? No! For no
right-thinking person is. But he re-
fused to make it national because he
said he didn't have the right. Isn't
that reason enough?
Each state has its own rights, and o.
the president, no matter who he is,
has got to recognize those rights. So
if it is the states rights to give their
women the vote, why not hammer
on the governors and legislators of
the anti-suffrage states instead Of al
ways whanging at the president.
Those women had a lot Of nerve in
the wrong direction. This was big
election and big questions were at
stake that made the wOman's suf-
frage question small in comparison.
And so, considering how small it was
II, oOD,OoriSOn and that If is not i'm
mediately necessary within the next
four years, and how much benefit
and what big things the U. S. has
gained under Wilson, don't you think
that it showed awful poor mettle for
those suffragists to band together
and try to defeat Wilson because he
wouldn't do what he had no right to
! do? dO,-A Suffragist'
