The consensus among bankers is that
there will not be as many installment
buyers of the second liberty loan issue
as there were of the first loan, not through
lack of enthusiasm or willingness. but by
reason of financial limitations and the
fact that none of the first installment pur-
chases have been completed or more than
half paid for.
But what will be lost through the in
ability of the installment buyer to take
on new contracts, will be more than made
up by the enormous buying by capitalists,
by men of moderate means and by great
corporations, as indicated by the pre-
liminary subscriptions already filed here
and in other centers and especially in
New York city.
1t is pointed out that the liberty bonds
of both the first and second issues fur
nish better investments to the great
corporations and capitalists than any
railroad bonds offered on the market,
better even than municipals and in
1ustrial issues.

IRWIN COBB TELLS OF TRA|L-H|TTERSAT SUNDAY MEETING Sees 800 Move Forword to Shake Famous Evange-

 MOST IMPRESSIVE Hundreds of Assistants See That Everything Moves With Precision and Dispatch At Psycho-
 logical Moment
By IRWIN S. CORR

New York, May 5.-(special. )-The ser mon at night at the Tabernacle, the Rev. William Sunday officiating, was one of those sermons. It dealt with the old Testament story of Moses, and his mother and the bullrushes and Pharoahs daughter. Aside from the emphasis with which the preacher preached it, its chief point of distinction, considered as 8 ser mon, was focused in the fact that MT. Sunday offered some brand new slang.
 The metropolitan influence was begin- ming to show it's effects in his adze-cut and splintery metaphors. The fresh laid dioms of Broadway, New York, were subtly replacing those lingual stand-bys that had their origin years and years ago in Weeping Willow, Neb, and What Cheer.

When ministers of some of the great est communions in the land indorse They say what they know to be the truth. They have put Tanlac to the test of personal service and have not found it wanting.
 The proprietors of Tanlac have re- ceived countless testimonials from peo- pie in every walk of life, earnestly commenting 1t. Among them are a number from prominent ministers of various churches. A few of these are printed below:
 Wesley Memorial church of Jackson vile, Fla. He says:-"I suffered from chronic indigestion for years. seldom slept well and had severe headaches. Since taking Tanlac l feel as well as ever I did-sleep splendidly and eat anything I want Tanlac has restored my health and I feel 1t my duty to recommend it.
 Rev. A. H. Sykes. pastor of Watkins Park Presbyterian church, Nashville, from stomach and kidney troubles and a nervous breakdown. Tanlac restored her health--she is gaining strength and flesh rapidly-her full restoration is but a question of time"
 Rev. E- c. Butler, pastor of Central Baptist church, Muskogee. Okla, says:-'T had attacks of acute indiges- ton. Results from taking Tanlac have been most satisfactory-am glad to recommend it as the best medicine I have ever tried"
 Rev F NJ Winburn, Methodist, San Antonio. Tex, says:-"I had no appe- tite-suffered from weakness and gen. eral debility-couId not work without quickly tiring. Found Tanlac just what my system needed. I consider Tanlac good medicine to build up rundown systems"

tribute of great guffaw, and when he referred to those metropolitan flat-keep- CTS who do the bulk of their housekeep- ing with the aid of a can opener and & gas jet as "Delicatessen ladies'" the ref erence was so apt that all present showed their appreciation by an even louder out burst of laughter.
 In another place he said this:
 When I get to heaven, as in due time I shall, praise God, the first thing I'm going to do Is to walk up to Jesus and say, Jesus, where does Moses mother live? And Jesus will call one of the angels and say, Go page Moses mother, and when you find her, tell her Billy Sunday Is here and wants to see her And then I'm going to ask her how much old Pharoah paid her that time for talk ing care of her own son. I've got an aw- ful curiosity to know all about that"
 TRAIL-HITTERS AMAZE COBB
 In fine and in brief, 1t was one of those regular sermons which Billy Sum day breaches. But when he was done and the converts and the near converts began to tread the sawdusty path to sal vation, there was 8 sight worth any mans while to watch it. More than 800 hit the trail that night. It was the first time 1 had ever witnessed the trail-hitting spec tacle. I wouldn't have missed it for 8 good deal.
 In more respect than one-yes, in dozen respects-it was 8 noteworthy phenomenon. It was wonderful to see the concrete evidence of ones man pow CT, and he neither learned nor a good orator to sway a multitude and make so many of it's individual atoms do his bidding. It was wonderful to see that, although he had been exhorting at top speed for more than an hour then, and had preached another long sermon in the afternoon, he still had enough enthu- siasm left to clasp each hand of the hum dreds of hands outstretched to him and to wish the owner of each separate hand God-speed in the new life he or she, by this sign, pledged himself or herself to follow ever after.
 But such duties as these have been part of the daily job of all our successful evangelists, I suppose. And so to me the most wonderful thing of all about it was the working of the Billy Sunday efficiency system, the manifestation of the perfec- ton of the Billy Sunday method by which, without confusion. without visible strain, without g. hitch or balk, those forward pouring streams of penitents were handled, guided and controlled. The men who drilled the cohorts of the Ger man war lord have nothing on the mem-

my nerves, I sleep well as sver-have gained five pounds"
 Rev. A. L, Tull. Methodist. Atlanta Ga, says My granddaughter was nervous wreck from indigestion. Tan- lac gave her an appetite-she can eat anything. She is on the road to re- covery."
 Rev. Jas. H. New, Baptist. clarkson, Ga, says:-"My wife had severe cramps, headaches, was very nervous, badly run down, weak and thin. Tanlac caused her troubles to disappear--she never complains now
 Rev. A. J. vallery. former superin- tendent Bethany Home, Monroe, La, now of Memphis, Tenn, says:-Three years ago I had a general breakdown with indigestion-had rheumatic pains in legs. Since taking Tanlac am re- lieved of digestion--rheumatic pains have stopped--feeI like a new man. I give Tanlac my unqualified indorse- ment."
 Ga, says:-'1 suffered from nervous indigestion and inactive liver-diges- ton badly impaired. Tanlac corrected these troubles entirely-gained ten pounds taking two bottles"
 Rev. w T. Roby, Pastor West Lons- dale Methodist church, Knoxville, Tenn, testifies from personal experi- ence as to Ehe great benefit he de- rived from taking Tanlac for disor- dered stomach.
 No greater praise can be given a remedy than the unsolicited testimony of men whose lives are devoted to the betterment of their fellow men. Their integrity cannot be doubted. They serve their calling often at great per sonal sacrifice. Tanlac has helped them-they say so because they want to do you good.
