WIFE IS REV
AFTER THIRTY YRS.
G. w. Gibson Tells How Tan
lac Brought Health and
Happiness Into His
Home.
FEELS FINE AND
DOES IIOUSEWORK

IF there is a Wilmington home IN
which Tanlac is a household word IT
is at COS East Seventh street, where
lives the family of q. w. Gibson.
Just what Tanlae accomplished in
the Gibson household is clearly eX.
planned in the following story, as told
by MIR. Gibson himself TO the Tanlac
Man at the Miller Drug Store;
For over thirty years my wife suf-
feed from Indigestion. nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that she tried everything
under the sun to gain relief. Nothing
seemed to give her relief. Gradual
~ she became rundown, weak and
nervous. Toward the last she could
hardly get about. Food, no matter
what kind she ate, soured on her stom-
ach, formed gas and blOating and
caused terrible pain and distress. And,
even though my wife was tired out
she was unable to sleep properly at
nights.
"Day by day we heard of this Tan
lac and what it was doing and after
some hesitancy we decided to give 1t
a trial. along with the many other
medicines my wife took in all those
thirty years. l am here to tell you
right now that this Tanlac surely does
the work and all that is claimed for
it. Why just think Of it, from but
three bottles OF it my wife has gained
wonderfully. II is a pleasure now to
see her eat almost any food she likes
and without fear of after effects
Then, too, her sleep is sound and re
freshing and. of course, she is gain
ing in strength. Her homework does
not tire her now.
"Why shouldn't we recommend
Tanlac?" ended the happy husband

tonic-blood and system purifier anC
invigorant-is sold in Wilmington a

If Food DiSagreeS
Drink Hot Water

When food lies like lead ia your stomach
and YOU have that uncomfortable bloated
feeling and your stomach is sour and burning
IL Is usually because OF excessive secretion OF
acid or food fermentation from chronic ca
tarrh.
In such a case a good and safe treatment
for catarrh Of the stomach is 60 take before
meals a toaspoonful OF pure bsurated mag
ncsia in half glass Of water as hot MS you
can comfortably drink g.. The hot water
washes the mucus from the stomach walls
and draws the blood 90 the stomach while
the bisurated magnesia is q solvent for mucus,
thus increasing the efficiency Of the hot water
treatment. Moreover the bisuratcd magne-
sia, as physicians can tell you, is n powerful
but harmless antacid which, when taken
after meals quickly neutralizes tho excess
acid and swcetens your stomach contents.
This hot water ans maEnesia treatment is
a FAR better plan than that Of swallowing
some pill or tablet which simply arthcially
digests your food and sends it still a SPUR
fermenting acid mass. into the intestines
whore e viii do almost as much harm as in
the stomach.
As there arc various forms Of magnesia
be sure i'm following above directions 20 ask
the druggist for Bisurated Macnesia (eithcr
in powder or tablet FORM which is espo-
cially prepared for the correction Of stom-
ach acdity.

Citizens Fail tn Appear Before Council
Committee After Repeated
Invitations.
CIVIC ASSOCIATION RESPONDS
Draft OF Resolution Is Presented Call
ing for Reduction of Percentage Of
Voters in Request for Election.

It was apparent last night at the
mittee of council that the public gen.
orally are little interested In the pro-
posed revision Of the city charter.
It had been announced and widely
heralded that the committee would
hold an open session for the pur-
pose of hearing from all interested
citizens who had suggestions as to
ways and means for changing or in
any way improving the present form
of government
The only persons present, besides
two representatives of the Civic asso-
citation. were Aldermai Paul. Council
man Batkins, four city employees,
three newspaper men, and five mem
bers of the committee.
Clerk Mcdowell stated that he had
received no communications from In
terested citizens aside from a letter
from the Civic association, although
through the press the committee had
requested all persons interested to
communicate with the clerk. or ap-
pear in person before the committee
A letter from H. r Sands, field
cipal survey of New York. stated that
the bureau could not at this time state
approximately when the survey
will be completed. but that when 1t
is ready it will be promptly forward
ed to the city clerk as per contract.
Diversity of Opinion.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Fuller the
representatives OF the Civic associa
ton, DR.. Dice r. Anderson and Mr.
Wyndham r. Meredith, were invited
to address the committee, after which
it was intimated. the committee would
fix upon time for action. and pro-
coed with the general proposition of
formulating a report to be presented
to council. Chairman Rose and Mr..
Fred Powell, were inclined to go
ahead regardless of the report of the
bureau while Mr.. Fuller contended
that. al citizens OF Richmond had
put up the sum of $4,000 for the
survey. the committee should hag.
the benefit of the report.

work BEGINS At ONCE
ON PETERSBURG PIKE

City Engineer Boiling was directed
yesterday by the administrative board
to take immediate steps to secure
prices for supplying men machinery
and teams for the work of clarifying
and rolling Petersburg turnpike fol
ten miles toward Petersburg from
Hull street, South Richmond, In ac-
cordance with a resolution adopted
by council and approved by the
mayor, appropriating $4,000 for the
work.
The city engineer was also directed
to get estimates for the work to be
done without clarifying, that is to
fill in, roll and level off, with the idea
that probably the cost in this way
would not be as heavy as the other,
and there might be some money left
over for maintaining the road through
the winter.
Under the resolution from council
the work of improving the turnpike
for ten miles from the city is to be
done under the supervision Of the ad
ministratiye board. after agreement
with the county officials of Chester

AID FOR CONFEDERATE
WOMEN TO BE GIVEN

In order to care for the women
,of another day, who suffered
through the years OF 's0-'6S, the
board of managers of the Home
for Needy Confederate Women will
give the public an opportunity to
aid the home on Friday of this
week. One hundred stations will be
maintained throughout the city
where liberal citizens may give
toward the good cause.
The appeal for the women liz
stronger than ever before this year,
as food is higher and the loss en-
tailed when the home was burned
in the spring has drawn heavily
upon its slender resources. The
committee in charge of the dona-
ton day believes that the contribu-
tons this year will at least meas
ure up to, IL not exceed, those of
former years.
