Tanlac has done me more good than all the medicines I have taken for the past fifteen years and have actually gained Twenty-Five pounds since taking it said Mrs. ]. ]. Mar tin. a well known woman of Vine mont Ala.
 Yes, sir, for fifteen years 1 suf- fered constantly with bad case of stomach trouble and nothing | could find would give me any relief, continued Mrs. Martin. Gas col lected on my stomach and just kept me in misery nearly all the time and sometimes this gas would seem to get all over my body and | suffered until 1 felt like l couldn't stand it any longer. My nerves were all to pieces and kept getting worse and worse until was almost physical wreck. Finally I had to give up and take to my bed and from that day until began taking Tanlac l was so weak wasn't even able to sit up in bed.
 "Tanlac had been so highly rec commended to me that after a while I decided to give it trial and after the first few doses | knew l had found the right medicine at last. I began to improve right from the start and have gained in strength and weight ever since, until all my troubles are now about gone. My stomach and nerves are in so much better shape and l feel so good that can't help talking about it. Tan lac did what nothing else would do for me and just think it's the best medicine on earth

London Nov. 3. Eleven German
 hins perhaps i2, one of them the
 Marie an auxiliary cruiser armed ssith six-ineh guns, were sent to the
 Doitom of the Cattegat, the large Norlh Sea arm between Sweden and psnmark by British mosquito s stlotilla, some time during the last .s honrs. Ten of the sunken vessels ,,,ore natrol craft The Teutm fleet uas headed it is believed, for an evnloit like the recent one near the Shetland Islands, in which nine Scandinavian ships and two British destroyers were sunk. They may have been the same raiders who got away that time.
 Sixty-four prisoners were rescued bv the British torpedo craft.
 Of the crew of the Teuton auxil- E iary cruiser Marie, of 5000 tons, 30 were killed by the British sheli-fire. Caplain Lauterbach, her command pr and six of his men, were picked mn by a Danish vessel and were talk on to Copenhagen. All were more or less seriously wounded.
 News Thrills All Britain. Official announcement of the British naval success sent a thrill thru all Britain. 1t could not have come at a more opportune moment. A great part of the British press, in- cluding some of the government s slaunchest supporters, had just un- oosed cancerting tirade against the admiralty on account of the re- cent German raiding success. Sir Eric Geddes was the target os violent criticism for his explanation in the House of Commons and par ticularly for the Admiralty rep rt, which was characterized by one paper as obscure and very unlnili- tary."
 A new shake-up in the Admiralty seemed imminent. On top of Ii all came kerensky's plaintive qu "y: Where is the great British iIect9h Il had left a painful impression on the public, despite the nationwide conviction that the yelled reproaeh was utterly unjustified
 British Show ChivaIry.
 Overnight the gloomy thoughts and speeches have been wiped out. The British comeback was clean cut and thoro It was a ship for ship reply The Germans had sunk If so did the British. The Germans had ventured out to within British home waters. The British went out thru the Skagerack into close proX- unity of the German mine fields. The Germans had failed to rescue any survivors and this had elicited the 'un-militaryn eensure of the British Admiralty concerning the chivalry of the sea. The British rescued 6i of the German survivors.
 The question as to whether a twelfth ship was sunk by British is raised by report from Copen- hagen that commerce raider named Crocodile was seen going down in flames by two Danish ves- sells. She was of 1000 tons and her crew numbered 100 She was dis guised.
