PATTON SUFFERED
 FOR 20LONG YEARS Former Deputy Sheriff Is Like a Different Man
 Since Taking Tanlac

"After suffering 20 years with rheu- matism, indigestion and liver trouble, took Tanlac and it has straighter.ed me out and made me feel like diff ferent man." said J. D. Patton of Cabot, Ark, recently. MT. Patton was for several years deputy sheriff of Rains county, Texas, and more recently held the same office in Nuskogee couLty, Oklahoma. where he is we'll known
 "s was hardly ever free from rheu- matism," he continued. "and was so miserable most of the time that I could hardly sleep. My shoulders ached so I could hardly stand it, my liver was all out of shape, and my ap- petite was so poor that had to force down the little did eat and even that would disagree with me, and keep me stirred up for hours afterward I fall off 20 pounds and 1t was a burden to me to try to look after my farm and keep up with my other business, and I was just about to give up hop6.
 Well, sir. haven't had a pain or an ache since started On Tanlac and now I don't feel like the same person. have a fine appetite. can eat most any thing want and 1t agrees with me. I have got back my lost weight, I sleep like log and get up in the morning with strength and energy enough to look after my business without a bit of trouble. My wife was so pleased with the way Tanlac relieved me that she. too, is taking Tanlac and it has done her as much good as it did me-
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham cx- clusively by Eugene Jacobf Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.--Ady.

PRESIDENT PEYTON
 OF N. [. & ST. |.
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Body Discovered in Room With Pistol Bullet in Left Temple-Had BeenDead
 Several Hours

Nashville. Tenn, September l4. John Howe Peyton. president of the Nashville. Chattanooga and St, Louis Railway company, was found dead with pistol bullet in his left temple at bis Nhome here this morning. A sis ter went to his room about o'clock to awaken him to meet a brother, c. P. Feyton of Charleston, w. Va, who had just arrived, In response to telegram sent by MT. Peyton yester- day, calling him to Nashville on i'm portant busmess," the nature of which was not given in the telegram On the discovery of the dead body, R phy- sician was summoned. and his exami- nation developed the fact that the rail- road president had been dead several hours.
 The theory that the wound was self inflicted is accepted by MT. Peyten'si close friends. the act being ascribed to his depressed state of mind owing to his failure to secure army service overseas. Particularly noticeable, it is said was his depression yesterday and in view of this and the telegram to his brother to come it is thought that

cutting the throats of all the unde- siraple t1ermans who were in America, and who had already demonstrated that they were far more dangerous thar the Japanese had ever been
 Whether or not the Kaiser and the Germans generally really believed that America was in danger of attack from Japan or that there was bound to be a titanic conflict between the white and yellow races for the domination of the world, l don't know, but I have often heard that for many years the Japan- csc army had been trained by German offices and, as have previously mentioned. vast amounts of ammuni. tion and guns were furnished them.
 Undoubtedly the profit the German intuition makers made on their con tracts with Japan was an important consideration. but the probability is that the principal object of Germanv,s conduct in this connection was to be in a position to watch military deveIon- ments in Japan. What better measure could be conceived for gauging a pros pective enemy's strength than bv assist ing in it's developments? What a splen- did opportunity it afforded for posting spies and otherwise obtaining military information against the day when it might prove of the utmost value to Ger manyi
 In another chapter I have referred to the excuse the Kaiser gave for having. supplied munitions to the Russians in the Japanese-Rus war when l urged thai that was parallel to our course in sup- plying munitions to the allies-which So |embittered the Kaiser and the Germans generally against us. .When we helped Russia against Japan we were helping white race against the yellow race don't eyer forget that-don' f ever foroat that"
 Along the same lines he frequently condemned the English and the allies generally for having accepted the assist ance of Japan in the present war. The idea that a white nation could ally itself with a yellow one was little short of abhorrent to him, according to the way he spoke.

 The newspapers at home, your ma1es- ty.' l replica. ..are beIittling our fleet and talking about the armor- plate being too thin, especially below the water line, so that when a ship rocked 1t exposed a weak spot below the surface.'
 Rot!" he exclaimed. Those ships are all right ard their performance proved it. We all have ships 10 years old which are weak below the waterline. but your latest models are as good as any in the world, l am sure.
 NO SERIOUS WEAKNESS
 II those vessels had shown any serious weakness, Davis," he went on, fit would have been serious matter at this time when your country is having a dispute With Japan over the California school question. but your chief has warded ofr a war with Japan.

 I know that Roosevelt thereby pre-
 vented a war with Japan"
 The Kaiser was so positive on this point that I thought at the time he was prob- ably in possession of information which warranted that conclusion, and later ] heard rumors that Berlin bankers had been sounded on the possibility of folat- ing Japanese loan in Germany, and that German diplomats had been also con- suited. I was led to believe by others as we'll as the Kaiser that we had been skat- ing on very thin ice. By throwing the Japanese children out of your schools . they said. California has done about as much as she could to provoke war with Japan. It is quite proper for your coun- try to enforce her rights, but you musn't make the mistake of voting against big army and navy
 The Kaiser expressed the utmost dis trust of the Japanese on number of dif- fferent occasions.
 NATURALLY DISHONEST
 Why. Davis," he exclaimed, these Japanese. hear, are naturally and in- stinctively dishonest. Their own people cannot trust them. My men who come back from Japan tell me that Chinese clerks are employed in Japanese banks and business houses because they cannot trust their own menv'
 Whatever may have been the Kaiser's personal opinion about the shortcomings of the Japanese character, no one in Ger many doubted the depth of Japanese pa- triotism. In fact, while the Germans pride themselves on their deep-rooted love for the fatherland. they yield the palm for patriotism to Japan. It Is a common saying among them that Japa- nese patriotism must be placed first, German second, English third. American patriotism is not mentioned Perhaps 1t is because the Germans believe the Jap anese to posSess such intense love Of country that they fear so much the men. ace of Japanese hostility.
 This fear of Japan was held through out all ranks in Germany. It was com- mon talk in the streets. it was given fre- quent expression by German statesmen, and the Kaiser himself openly admit ted it.

his fatal resolution was taken at that time. Since the government took over the operation of the railroads, MT. Peyton had not been in charge of the. operations of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railway, but con- tinned as head of the corporation. Since his coming here in 1914 as pres ident of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, Mir. Peyton hal been in the forefront of all pubic movements, and occupied a high place in public esteem. His death under the circumstances created a profound shock. The remains will be carried to Salem.

.gs. IHe Tact that the Japanese themselves seemed very dissatisfied with the easy terms exacted from Russia, which was
 evidenced by riots of rather serious di-
 mensions in the streets of Tokio and
 other Japanese cities, evidently signified zto the Kaiser that Japan had been diplo- sinaticaIly beaten by the treaty, although Victorious in the field. The revolution sswhich followed in Russia showed the pre- Israriops condition of that country ana Drought about the establishment of the -Duma.
 ; FLEETS GREAT TOUR N Later on, after our fleet had made it's @epoch- making trip around the world in s19OS. the Kaiser again alluded to the Jap- -anese peril.

Zimmerman, who was simply a tool in the Kaisers hands, sent to Herr Won Eckhardt, the German minister to Mex ico. through Count Von Bernstorff, what is undoubtedly one of the most infamous notes which ever emandted from the for eign office Of a frst-class power. For tunately, our government was able to intercept it and brand forever the perfidy of which the Kaiser was capable.
 So eloquent is that note of the hypocrisy of the Kaiser that l cannot do better than reprint it here that it may be read in connection with the Kaisers repeated expressions on the sub ject of the Yellow Peril
 The note runs
 On February we intend to begin sub- marine warfare unrestricted In spite of this it is our, intention to endeavor 70 keep neutral the United States of Amer ica, If this attempt is not successful we propose an alliance on the following basis with Mexico That we shall make war together and together make peace. We shall give general financial support , reconquer the lost territory in New Mex ico, Texas and Arizona. The details are left to you for settlement. You are in structed to inform the President of Mexi- co of the above in the greatest confi- dence as soon as it is certain that there will be an outbreak of war with the United States, and suggest that the Pres ident of Mexico. on his own initiative should communicate with Japan, suggest in adharAnPa nt with this plan.

Legislation 10 provide for the es-

determining and classifying agent is
suggested by Secretary Redf1eld. He
says:
The functions of the bureau of
standards should be SO enlarged as to
permit the maker of any standard
commodity to submit a specimen of
his product for examination and to
provide that the bureau, after such
an examination, should certify to the
facts that a buyer, domestic or for
eign, ought to know respecting the
nature of the article. The manufac-
turcr should be permitted to attach
a copy of the certificate to all OF his
production Of the particular kind and
quality SO certified.
Severe criminal penalties should
be provided for wilful violation of the
manufacturers agreement to attach
the certificate of the bureau of stand
ards only to goods coming fully up to
the certified sample"
THE applications of science to
military uses" the report says, ire
illustrated by several examples of
the Bureaus work directly affecting
the comfort and efficiency of the SOL
der. The soldiers shoes are investi~
gated in the laboratory and in the
field to determine the most suitable
leather. A sole-leather testing ma
chine is used, and the leather is

trolled service tests are in progress
