POUNDS and QUIT TAKING IT
Tennessee School Teacher Says He
Has Found Taniac to Be the Best
Medicine He Has Ever Tried.

OF the thousands of Testers that have
recently been received at the Tanlack
Office from well-known men and wom>
en-, who have been benefited by this
medi inc, none are more interesting
than the one received from SIR. Luton
at Bumpus Mills, Tenn. This letter,
which was addressed to G. F. Willis,
Atlanta, Ga, reads as follows:
Dear Sir: You will find inclosed
testimonial from Professor Elmer
Morris. who is one of my customers.
Professor Morris had a delicacy in ex-
pressing himself and granted me the
right to give you the particulars in his
case.
He tells me that he has been a great
sufferer from chronic stomach and
bowel trouble, and never had been able
to get anything to give him any relief.
He fell off in weight from 225 pounds
to 10 pounds. He went to Dawson
Springs, KY, and when he came back
he said he was no better.
l persuaded him to try Tanlac. He
weighed on my scales at the time he
began taking it and only weighed ITO
pounds. After taking three bottles OF
Tanlac he had gained 20 pounds When
he brought this testimonial to me he
had gained pounds more and weighed
194 pounds and decided to quit taking
Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the public
schools in Stewart County, Tenn. He
lives here In one mile of my store and
bought the Tanlac from me. His true
postoffice is Dover. Tenn, r. F. d. No.
l Professor Morris statement is as
follows:
II have just finished my third bottle
of Tanlac and have gained 20 pounds.
just weighed 40 pounds and now

CHANCE IN NAVY
FOR Y0UL,5 IILly
Ambitious Youths. willing to Try
Can Reach Top OF ladder
Annapolis Is
Goal.

Tn recent legislation Congress has
authorized the appointment Of ore
hundred enlisted men to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis each year
where they will be trained as officers.
This is wonderful opportunity for
Young Americans who have she neces-
sary mental and physical Qualifica-
lions and age. and is published for
the information of the young men as
well as the parents.
To secure this prize it is necessary
that young men enlist in the United
States Navy and serve one year as an
enlisted man; he then becomes eligible
to apply for examination, provided he
is under twenty years of age. The
examination is strictly competitive and
the best man wins. No appointment
from congressman is required and in
fuence, political or otherwise, is of
no help. Each boy stands on his own
merits. The scope of the entrance eX-
animation is about equal to a high
school education. 1t is not necessary
that a boy have a high school educa-
ton. however, as schools are maintain
ed on all ships and stations where Of
licers are detailed as tutors and where
boys are prepared for examination.
This is much surer way of entering
Annapolis than trying to secure an
appointment from civil life. 1t will be
born in mind that of all the men in
the navy only about four thousand are
of the proper age (under twenty
which means that one out of every
four hundred will secure the appoint
ment, Also the vast majority of
Elese four hundred have had no high
school work, probably only a grammar
school education, so it can be seen that
boy with some high school work who
is studious and ambitious, has an eX-
cellent chance of securing this ap-
pointment. This chance can be more
readily realized when it is remember
ed that before this legis alton only
about two hundred and fifty year
n:ered Annapolis from the entire Uni
ted States which includes millions of
American youths.
For the man or boy, however, who
has not the necessary qualifications
for Annapolis the Navy contains many
opportunities also. Advancement is
rapid for the ambitious and studious.
The way is open to Chief Petty Officer.
Warrant Officer and finally Commits
stoned officer and by going up this
way the age limit for examination for
Commissioned Officer is raised to 35
years.
For further information on this
subject apply at the nearest recruiting
station for the navy.

Pershing to Pave the Way

General Pershing and his staff will
sail for Europe ahead OF the troops,
as there is much to be done on the
other side to pave the way for final
training of the force and for the huge
army the United States is preparing
to pour across the seas after it as
rapidly as men can be trained and
equipped.
No information as TO the time OF
the American commanders departure
or his destination will be made public.
When Rear Admiral Sims conm9nd-
ing the destroyer force, was sent on
his important mission, TIE first word
of his errand came from London after
arrival there.
When General Pershing leaves. ev-
cry detail of the organization and
equipment of his troops will have
been worked out He will know ex-
actly what preparations must be made
and what use is to be made of his di-
vision. Presumably he will have
wide discretionary powers to cooper
ale with commanders of the French,
British and Belgian forces.
Fright BeIgium's Sufferings."
President Wilson's statement ex-
planning his reasons for not accept
ing at this time Colonel lRoosevelt's
offer of division contained phrase
which has attracted much attention
and suggested the possibility that
American troops may go to Belgium
to help right the rongs which
turned the world against Germany.
So far as is known that was the
first official mention of putting Ameri-
can troops in Belgium and the senti-
mental value of sending troops bear
| ing the American flag to the violated
soil of the little country in whose
behalf all humanity has been aroused,
Those who favor it, say that since the
United States entered the war to de-
fend humanity against German ag-
erosion It's troops could not be bet
ter employed than in behalf of the
most outraged nation of all humanity.
on course, American troops would
, be used otherwise, too, but in taking
place in the Belgian line they would
release British and possibly French
troops for other points.
