Years. -.

This Tanlac has cetainly done
great things for me-" said A. ]. Skid
more. Of Winchester, Tenn. in a re-
cent statement regarding the bene-
fits he has derived from the medicine.
Mr., Skidmore has lived on his pres
ent farm for the past forty-five years.
He is the father of fifteen children,
has been a member of the Tennessee
legislature for two terms, was coun-
ty surveyor for twenty-five years and
couny trustee two terms. "Uncle
jack" as he is Familiarity known
although now seventy-six years of
age-says he feels years younger and
attributes his good health to the use
of Tanlac.
Il surered general breakdown
some time ago." continued Uncle
jack "and my health seemed to be
OH a general decline which |, of
course. thought was due to my age.
My appetite was very poor and what
little l did eat failed to nourish me.
| Gched all over with rheumatism
and each day 1 felt that 1 was get
ting little weaker. Other medi-
cines failed to do me any good and
my condition not only worried me
greatly, but my family became

would feel all tired out in the morn
ings and ali day long | was languid,
and tell you, | was just getting
weaker all the time.
"Tanlac was recommended to me
by friends and in few days after
began taking it, felt a marked
change for the better. My appetite
came back to me and began to eat
and enjoy my meals and pick up in
strength. l continued taking the
medicine until used six bottles.
The rheumatism has disappeared, all
my other SYMPTOMS have left me and
feel that years have been added to
my life. l feel stronger and more
energetic and 1 don't hesitate to say
Taniac is the best upbuilder for peo-
pie up in years that l have ever
used, and I have used lots of hem.
It has gotten me over my troubles
and restored my health and I recon-
mend it to other aged people as the
best medicine they can get.

WAMPLER SAYS
HE IS FATHER
OF JUDGE plan
Doctor, Who is for Bavis, Ad-
mits He Started Move
Waidele Denies it.

DR. John NJ. Wampler says he is
the father OF the proposed ordinance
creating the office Of city judge at an
annual salary of $1,000.
The ordinance, which will come UP
for first reading before the city coun
Gil next Monday night. was first pro
posed by Councilman Frank Waidele
on May 7.
DR.. Wampler admitted Thursday
that 1t was his suggestion" to Coun.
Gilman Waidele which caused the mat
ter being taken before council. At
torney Wilfred Jessup was also In
terested in the creation of the Office
of city Judge, the doctor said.
WaideIe Saw Need
Councilman Waidele said that he
saw the need Of a man with legally
trained mind sitting as city Judge
two years ago when he attended a
session Of the court.
He said he proposed the adoption OF
such an ordinance on May as he
though the time was ripe.
He denied that DR.. Wampler "sug-
gested" the Introduction Of such an
ordinance and said that he had held
no conversation with DR.. Wampler
for some time prior to taking up the
question before council.
Wampler Tells Why
DR.. Wampler said he urged the In
PRODUCTION of such an ordinance be-
cause he didn't want to "see DR.. W.
w. Zimmerman try the cases coming
up in police court because he isn't
competent to try them"
A picture of Alfred Bavis, inde-
pendent candidate for mayor, hangs
on the wall in the Office Of DR..
Wampler.
Asked If he favored Bavis' candi-
dacy for mayor he said he thought
Bavis a very competent man. and far
ahead of DR.. Zimmerman in civic
matters.
"Doe's" Against It
DR.. Zimmerman opposes the crea-
ton OF the office Of city Judge claim
ing that any man with practical
mind" is competent to decide the
cases which are brought up In city
court.
DR.. Wampler says he suggested"
the creation Of such an Office to Coun-
Gilman Waidele but 'Dr. thinner
mans past record shows that he isn't
competent to try the cases."

great intensity, the British pouring a
