GEORGIAN SAYS IT'S
WORTH THOUSANDS
Declares T a nj &C Restored
Health After 20 Years Suf-
fering.

It's worth thousands of dollars to
feel like I do now, since Tanlac has
taken away the trouble that kept me
in misery for the last twenty years,
said M. B. Daniel. a well known far
mer living on Route 2, out OF Able
vile, Ga, few days ago.
Whenever a man suffers as long
as I did, he gets to the place where he
feels like he's no more good in this
world" he continued. and that's Just
the way I had begun to feel. Long
ago 1 got so weak I couldn't carr
on my work, for spells Of stomach
trouble and nervousness just made 1t
torture for me to eat and the trouble
I had wouldn't let me sleep at all.
My heart acted queer until 1 was
afraid it was going to stop.
I'D been well enough satisfied to
have had my sufferings relieved, but
that's not all Tanlac did. I've gained
eleven pounds besides. I can eat as
heartily as if / had never had stomach
trouble and can do as much work in
day as I ever could. I just feel like
new man."

sively by the Crystal Pharmacy

ing from past experience, for not long
since the governor fixed the tax rate
based on preliminary estimates of val
uations that were afterwards greatly
reduced, making it necessary for the
legislature to afterwards make a de-
, cided increase in the tax levy. Then.
too. there is the instance of the five
million dollars assessed against the
Flagler estate which was placed on
the tax book in ST. Johns county. on
which no taxes at all have vet been
collected, although it was recommends
ed by you and passed the county
equalization board. If you gentlemen
remember you made representations to
me last year that the increase in the
assessment would be Is per cent or
~ per cent, whereas it was only .o5ss
per cent.

MEN To DEATH
ley MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrEEI

Icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlREI
With the American Army in France,
Nov. 6.~-Misuse of the Red Cross
emblem by the German army is bring
ing bitter comment from American
officers in position to know what is
being done. A lieutenant in the med
zeal corps and an infantry officer as
sert that 'all the stories told about
the German army's devilish and in
human tactics are true"
Taught to respect the Red Cross
flag, American troops were led into
many an ambuscade by boche trickery
in the display of this insignia. And
what has incensed the Americans the
most is the fact that the Germans
refused to recognize the Red Cross
emblem at any time.
Before going to the front | was
inclined to doubt some of the stories
being circulated about the Germans"
said the medical officer. "but after
one month in the front lines l can
believe anything that is said against
them They are so guilty of inhuman
and barbarous acts themselves that
they refuse to respect the use of the
Red Cross by the allies. Their use
of the Red Cross insignia is one of the
biggest crimes they ought to be made
to answe" for after the war"
One of the tricks used by the boche
was to plant a Red Cross flag in the
tower of church of a village in the
path of the advancing Americans.
Respecting it, the infantry would not
call for any concentration of artillery
fire on these buildings.
The American troops upon taking
one particular village advanced upon
a church. from which was displayed
Red Cross flag. without suspecting
any trick. When they were within
short range a murderous machine gun
fire was poured into their ranks from
the windows and towers OF the
church. When the Americans finally
gained the interior they found six ma
chine guns manned by a platoon of
sturdy boches-not a sign of any hos
pital or dressing st.tion. Needless
to say no prisoners are taken.

place in the usual run of committee
assignments.
There are in the house several COM
mlttees which have power to inVesti-
gate expenditures of the executive
departments. During control of the
democratic majority the republicans
nave been powerleSs to compel invest
cation of things which they have at
tackled. In coontrol Of those COM
mittees which in times of peace are
virtually no Importance the field for
investigation of the democratic adj
minstratlon by a republican house is
thrown wide open almost on the eve
of the next presidential election.
The republicans of course, do not
come into their position of advantage
until the meeting of the new congress
which will be the first Monday in
December. 1919, unless President Will
son should call it in extraordinary
session sooner. The present demo-
cratic congress expires by limitation
March 3, 1919. Leaders of both part
les rather believe the president will
avoid an extra session if possible.
Republican policies in the new con-
gress can not be developed until the
complexion of the senate is certain. In
reconstruction, fiscal and other legis-
lation, however, the republicans are
prepared to initiate new policies in
the next house with bearing on the
presidential campaign Of 1920. Al
though somewhat dependent on the
senate outcome, the house republicans
are planning definite constructive
program dealing with after the war
problems. They have pledged them
selves to vigorously prosecute the
war to it's conclusion.
After organizing the new house, the
republicans also will be in control of
the elections supervision committees,
which will deal with several contests
expected from yesterdays balloting.
In the committee changes, southern
democrats, who have held most of the
chairmansfips, under the senior serv-
ice rule, will be displaced by northern
and western republicans,
