 II had suffered terribly for eight years with rheumatism, indigestion and ner- vousness,' she continued. My whole body ached so badly that it was torture to me to get about the House and even then I had to walk with crutches. My stomach was in such a condition that had to live on 8 liquid diet and even that would sour and form gas that swelled up around my heart until could hardly breathe at times. My head ached all the time and my nerves were so torn up l could hardly ever get more than two hours sleep any one night.
 s'One of my friends who had taken Tanlac got me to try, 1t, and I was just getting up from an operation, that seemed to do me no good, so I started on Tan lac.

Campaign Chairman Flte Urges Democrats to Stand
 By President on NoU. 5
Not Only Urges Democracy to Support Nominees Fo Senate, But For Representative and All County and
 State Offices in Address to Voters

Democrats of Alabama are appealed to by Campaign Chairman Arthur F. Fite of Jasper to stand by President Wilson
 his own party to office; not only mem
 hers of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, but to all state and county offices as well. Only in this ! way, Mir. Fite warns them, can they show to the world that they are stand ing back of the President in. his conduct of the war, and his proposals for it's end- ing.
 MT. Ffte, in sending out this appeal, states that the campaign committee has not been called together, and no public speakings arranged for, because of the influenza epidemic that became preva- lent three or four weeks ago. He reminds the democrats of Alabama that in 1898, about the time the United
 States and Spain were beginning their peace conference, President Mckinley, Colonel Roosevelt and former President Harrison appealed to the voters of the country to elect republicans to Congress on the ground that the success of the
 
 the nations of Europe to believe that the country was not in accord with President Mckinley, and that he would thereby be handicapped in the peace conference. Chairman Fite now turns this argument against the republicans.
 His address to the voters of Alabama isfollows
 ITO the Voters of Alabama; "The President of the United States has sounded a call to duty.
 He is concededly the greatest leader. both in thought and action, this country |has produced in many generations. Since he became President six years ago there has been more beneficent, constructive legislation on internal affairs than had been accomplished in the preceding cen
 tury. Not in many generations had there been any sincere and successful eff fort to bring the affairs or government into step with the march of human prog ress, and never before had there been framed and enacted national laws ade- ouate at once to sustain the business life of the country and at the same time to afford most. wholesome and effective protection to the laborers and the masses generally.
 But it is not because of these things that the President speaks; neither of these things. He stands out today as the foremost figure in the world. All nations look to him as pre- eminently the leader in world affairs. All nations peo- pied with men of conscience, aeknowl- edge him as the one leader in civic righteousness and the spoaesman of hu- manity in all lands. Those allied with us in tffe most awful war of all history turn to him for the wisdom and power that shall save civilization.

The Prussian Cur WiH Be
 Trianon's Opening Film

i by appearing in a motion picture ex- pose of the Kaiser's system of espion- age in America.
 When Germany matched the plot in this country to blow up the Welland canal in Canada Won der Goltz had charge of the enterprise" He was later arrested in England and spent 15 months in English prisons. Through the influence of the United States he was brought to this country to testify against Capt. Hans Tauscher, who also was charged with violating the neu- trality laws of the United States ill this notorious plot.
 Von der GoltZ, although a young man, has had the most sensational se- ries of experiences. In Mexico, while serving as an officer in the army of Villa, he was captured by the constitu- tionalists and was three times march,

1 to us and to posterity for the success or failure of the battle now being waged in defense of our homes and our repub- lie. and for the security of the future peace. It is as such commander in chief, bearing that responsibility, that he has called upon the people to stand by him in this perilous hour. He asks that the democratic nominees be elected to Con- gress, so that the legislative branch of the government will continue to be in sympathy with him. He asks it be e- cause it is only in this way there can bs any guaranty that his burden will not be increased; because only in this way can the country voice it's approval of his leadership; because in this way can proof be given our allies of our confidence in the statesman of our choos- ing upon whose clear thinking and cor rect action they so much rely; because in this way can. the brutal Hun be convinced of the unity of purpose in this country to back the Movements that are driving that beast into his lair, and will make him incapable of again assauIting humanity.
 Let us answer the call of the com mander in chief without hesitating. The pro-Germans and petty, self-seeking pol ticians will denounce him. But the pro- German voice should not be heard, and the puny, demagogic politician who is trying to stir up discord in order to get office should be shamed into obscur- ity Let us not be misled by their in- sincere pretense that we will need the republicans in power for the reconstruc- tion period after the war. We had them in power during one reconstruction pe- ried and tho memory of that is enough answer to such pretense
 Tn 1898, when the delicate duties of fba pra1 1opt AItt Nf fho ruo with Spain were recognized. Roosevelt appealed to the voters to support the party then in power on tho ground that failure of such support would be in-' terpreted by the nations of Europe as a refusal to sustain this country's lead ership in that struggle. On the same ground former President Harrison ap- pealed for the election of republicans to both state and national offices. The pres- ent crisis is much greater, the burdens upon the commander in chief are many times heavier, and the successful issue of the conflict further from realization. It is but in common fairness and to the best interests of the public welfare that the voters are now asked to elect democrats to office, for identical reasons that were assigned for asking them to elect republicans in the less trying times of 1S9s Let every county. every con sressional and senatorial district and every judicial circuit in the state man. ifsst it's full sympathy and accord with tife national leadership by electing of icers belonging to the party now in con trol of the nations affairs.
 ''The widespread influenza epidemic prevents public gatherings and public spealSings Let it not prevent sound thinking and patriotic action.

Taxicab Ordinance Held
 Up By Injunction

Montgomery, October 2s.-(Special.) In the circuit court Tuesday Judge Gas ton Gunter granted a. temporary injunc- ton prohibiting the city officials from enforcing what is. known as the most stringent taxicab ordinance in the coun- try. The ordinance, adopted on Septem- Der II, following approval by the Cham Der of Commerce. Rotary club and mili- tary authorities, prohibited taxicabs from being placed on the principal streets, a side street being designated for this pur- pose The ordinance was so stringent the taxicab concerns withdrew their ma chimes and Montgomery has, been with out this service for several days.
 Judge Gunter ruled that the ordinance could not be enforced because the city grants taxicabs license and then says they cannot use the streets. The city must answer the injunction within five days. s&f
