BAPTIST MINISTER
GAINS 10 POUNDS
Thought Most Patent Medicines
Fakes. But Is Convinced That
Tanlac Is An Exception.

"Iam an ordained Baptist minis er,
and have always been greatly OPP
posed to patent medicines of any
kind" said Rev. Jno. NJ. Sims, of At
lanta, recently. in fact, | have al
ways regarded the majority of them
as nothing more or less than fakes,
but want to say to you that be-
lieve Tanlac is an exception to the
rule, because | have never taken any
thing that helped me as much as this
medicine.
"Mrs. Sims had not been very well
and ON the recommendation of friends
bought the first bottle for her, but
when took it home she refused to
take it. | was also very badly run
down myself and in need of a medi-
cine of some kind, and as my friends
had spoken so highly Of Tanlac | de-
cided to try it myself. | have only
taken two bottles and have gained
ten pounds in weight. When !
with my overcoat on. weighed two
hundred and fifteen pounds. When |
weiged few weeks later on the
scales up the street without my over
coat, ] weighed two hundred and ten
pounds, which is ten pounds more
than | weighed before | began taking
it.
# suffered principally from ner-
v lus indigestion and inactive liver
My kidneys also gave me great deal
of trouble. | would lay awake for
hours at night as was so nervous !
could get no rest or sleep-in fact, |
was SO run down | was almost a ner-
vous wreck. was not myself at all
and was losing weight and strength
rapidly. Ny digestion was SO badly
impaired | had to avoid sweets of all
kinds, as much as | loved them. FIRE.
qusntly after eating | would suffer
for hours with heartburn and other
forms of Indigestion.
''Tanlac seems to have corrected
these troubles entirely. ! have been
entirely relieved Of Indigestion and
can now each anything with impunity.
| can even eat honey without suffer
ing any i'll effects whatsoever.
"As told you before, | used to
suffer great deal with my kidneys
and would have to get up at all hours
Of the night. can now 90 to bed
and get good nights rest, and never
wake up until morning. / get up
feeling rested and refreshed and
ready for my work.
Yes, indeed, Tanlac is a wonder
full medicine. There is no doubt about
it. heartily recommend it for what
it has done for me-"
Rev. Sims son was also present at
the time he made this remarkable
statement, and was SO favorably i'm
pressed with what his father had to
say regarding Tanlac that he at once
decided tc get it for his wife.

America, the Uunited States, depends
for its political safety and its civilized
development upon the security Of the
Atlantic highways. That security is
now gravely threatened by the Ger
man Empire armed with new and
deadly weapon. If the submarine
succeeds the German Empire is not
only supreme in Europe, but an i'm
minent peril to every nation that
touches upon the Atlantic. 1t would
compel every nation to live in the
fear of militarism, and the caste
which dominates the German Empire
today would call the tune for all man
kind.
This is the specific threat which
has forced the United States into the
contest and which has united its ma
tional interests with those of the lib
eral powers of Earope. The threat
could not be overcome unless Great
Britain obtained the support of the
American naval and mercantile fleet
and American industrial and military
resources. Thus we are fighting In
part to prevent Germany actuated
BY aggressive motives and armed with
such a weapon as the submarine
from winning the war, and In part to
enable the United States to partici-
pate in treaty of peace which subse-
quently may become the basis of an
enduring and equitable international
order. -

For many years on the Memorial
Day anniversary, May 30, the veter-
ans of the Civil war have been
preaching patriotism. Many times
their words attracted little attention.
1t usually proves very difficult to
get a crowd out to Memorial day
exercises. The people are busy with
their outings and sports and will not
give up an hour for a patriotic pur-
pose.
The Memorial day orator frequent
ly had to talk to audiences composed
of the families and intimate friends
of the veterans,~and small boys drawn
in by the beat of the drum.
As the veterans have grown old and
their numbers have diminished, they
have still kept up, their patriotic task
in spite of the infirmities of age.
They have trudged around to the pub
lie schools to give talks, hoping to
stir patriotic feeling in young hearts.
Sometimes the public may have seem
ed Indifferent, yet all this work has
had its effect. Recent events have
proved that the old fire still burns.
Our people have finally cast aside
their ease and comfort, and have
pledged themselves to a war that
means infinite sacrifices. 1t could not
have done this unless there had been
a ceaseless effort to keep alive the
American feeling.
This is a year when all exercises
held in behalf of the soldier dead was
greeted with a great out-pouring of
the people. An impressive popular
observance of Memorial day has
aroused still further our feeling of
