Mrs. E. 0. Wilson's Husband Tells Story Filled With
 Human interest.
HAD TO SACRIFICE HOME
Friends and Neighbors Called and of- fered Encouragement and
 Sympathy.
TOME, hope and money gone.

Fl A loving husband and little
 daughter tearfully waiting for the dread summons which would take away wife and mother.
 That, in brief, describes the scene enacted one October day, year ago, when E. O. Wilson and his little daughter sat in a darkened room await ing the end they thought near.
 This chapter in the story of the Will son family is one of sorrow and suffering, pathos and human interest. It is one which touched the hearts of friends and caused them to pour out sympathy to a sorrowing husband.
 Five years ago E. O. Wilson, his wife and child were a happy family. They moved to Atlanta from Abbeville, s. C., so Mir Wilson could accept a position on newspaper.
 Mir Wilson prospered and the family moved into little home of their own. Mrs. Wilson took an interest in church work and in the Womans Aux Hilary of the Typographical union. Her future looked bright
 It was in the early part of 1913 that the blow fell. But let MT. Wilson tell the story. He can do it better, be- cause every detail is indelibly stamped upon his memory.
 Mir. Wilson's Story.
 GNGY name is E. o. Wilson and
 WI live at 197 Bass street, Atlan- ta. Ga. with my wife and seven-year- old daughter. I have been a printer for sixteen years and am member of the Typographical Union.
 Tt is with a sense of gratitude for being permitted to have with me today my dear wife that I am voluntarily making this statement. want every body interested to know that it comes from the bottom of my heart.
 During the spring of 1913 when I thought that nothing could impair my happiness, the blow fell. My wife un- til that time healthy and strong was stricken with illness. She was weak and nervous and at times had dread ful smothering sensations to the point OA 4dlAEtIz+ oAle 0buLQ ldAE IedEAQI headaches, pains in her back and over her kidneys and her joints ached all the time. She got so bad off that she couldn't do her housework and had to take to her bed. She didn't know what it was to get a good nights sleep.
 q called a doctor who treated her eight weeks and she showed no im- provement. I took the advice of an- other doctor and my wife was operated upon twice and spent r weeks in two hospitals with several weeks of nursing at home between operations.
 "She got weaker and weaker. I was desperate. My savings were gone. Il was in debt. So sacrificed my home.
 Driven frantic by my thoughts, I called in three Atlanta specialists. 1 This was along in October. 1915. My wife was a shadow of her former self. i They told me she could not possibly live more than five days.
 ''The five days passed and, although she still lived, she grew weaker and weaker and finally I was told she would die within the next few days. | She got where she was too weak to | talk and could not eat. I looked for | the end at any time.

Doctors Are Amazed.

"MY, wife was so weak only gave
 M her half the amount recom- mended. In a few days I noticed a strange improvement in her condition. I could have wept for joy. After I had given her one bottle of Tanlac the doc tors called one day and were surprised to find her sitting up in bed eating some toast and drinking some milk. They were amazed.
 "When my wife had taken two bot ties of Tanlac she was able to sit in rolling chair and she continued to im- prove rapidly. Those were indeed happy days. I forgot my previous sui fering. I forgot that our little home was gone. I thought of nothing ex- cept that my wife was alive and rap idly recovering her health and I thank God for letting me do what I did.
 To-day she is a perfect picture of health. She can eat anything she wants. Sucti things as meat, turnips, and hard boiled eggs do not bother her a par ticle and she sleeps as well as she did when a girl in her teens. She took eleven bottles of Tanlac and gained 30 pounds.
 "So, this is my statement. It is true that I spent all that I had saved try ing to restore her health. I don't know until this day what actually ailed my wife. but I do know how healthy and happy she is today and can truthfully say that nothing on earth did this but Tanlac."

BECK Of CARROLL IS
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. Isl. H. P.
Beck, of Carroll, member of the pres
ent state house of Representatives is a
candidate for congress to succeed Rep
Adamson, resigned, and is
running on a straight-out "anti-con-
scription platform, according to
a definite announcement today from
friends of Mr.. Beck.
At the same time strong effort is
making among legislative ties to throw
the influence of the house membership
tc either w. C. Wright, of Newman,
through his close association with Gar
land Jones, or to Nath F. Culpepper,
chairman of the present temperance
committee.
Culpepper has a pretty strong follow
irg among the legislative composition
and will undeniably be factor in the
congressional scrap in the Fourth, if
he exerts himself, and particularly in
view of the platform on which Beck is
unning.
