A WOMAN

ESTING STATEMENT

SAYS SHE FEELS FINE Now, AND
SURE Can PRAISE TASLAc
FoR It's AID.

It ia the best medicine / ever took
for stomach trouble, nervousness
and palpitation of the heart. l sure
can praise and recommend it" de-
clared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of ll6
Williams ST., Spartanburg, IN a
statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac, THE National Tonic"
on February /, 1917. / suffered
from very bad cases of Indigestion,
nervousness and palpitation of the
heart" continued Mrs. Lawter. I
could hardly sleep, and would just
roll and tumble for hours, and my
nerves were so badly disturbed that
| was kept miserable almost all the
time. I could eat scarcely anything.
What l did eat felt like bricks in
nv stomach, and / had a kind Of
choking in my chest after meals.
"My heart futtered a great deal,
and this, / think, was partly caused
by the great quantity of gas that
formed on my stomach.
Finally, I decided to try Tanlac,
as it had helped 80 many others
who had troubles somewhat like
mine, and now l am not bothered
with stomach trouble, thanks to
Tanlac. l feel a great deal better
in every way, too. My nerves are
much stronger and steadier, and l
used to get so that | jump
ed when anyone spoke to me. I'm
certainly not that way now, as Tan
lac has relieved those nervous
troubles and l have not been both
cred a bit with palpitation since l
took the first bottle of Tanlac.
81 feel fine now in many ways
and I sure can praise Tanlac and
give it credit for the change in my
condition. l am f~fty-nine years
old and it takes a powerfully good
medicine to help anyone as old
as I am as much as Tanlac has
helped me-"

The government will pay these la

Government Insurance.

Instead of the never-ending pen
sion system, the government has
adopted all insurance system for sol
diers. A young man entering the mil
itary service of the government can
obtain insurance upon his life from
81, 900 to $4,000 and pay the pre-
MUM monthly from what he receives
from the government. In the event
of death, either from disease or
wound, the insurance is paid to the
heirs of the insured at the rate of
1918 per month per $1,000 insur-
'ance.

Drive at Safe Speed.

The Advertiser has eve been dis
posed to 'knock" automobiles. Elk
cept in a few isolated cases, we be-
lieve automobiles are a helpful fac
tor in the worlds progress. They car
ry the country people to the towns
and on the other hand carry the town
people to the country, resulting in a
more intimate association and a bet
ter understanding among these two
classes of our citizenship if the urban
and rural population a be referred
to as separate elements of our citi-
zenship. Certainly automobiles rem
der rural life more attractive by af-
fording wholesome diversions in the
social and religious advantages Of the
towns, and also they afford the town
people pleasure by enabling them to
make more frequent visits to the
country.
We preface what we shall say con-
demning some automobile owners
with the above words of commenda-
ton of automobiles to convince ev-
eryone that we have no prejudice
against automobiles or owners of au-
tomobiles. There is an increasing ten
dency toward very rapid driving
along the public roads that is to be
deplored and should be discouraged.
Some white and colored people should
plead guilty to this charge and mend
their WAYS before a horrible accident
occurs, resulting in the loss of life.
Cars that are running at too high
speed are not altogether under the
control of their drivers, cannot be
stopped or "slowed up" in a short
space. Some cars meet or pass each
other or meet or pass horse drawn We
hicles. at such a rapid rate of speed
that the slight variation from the dl-
rect course of either a or vehicle
would result in a very serious accl-
dent. Whereas if travelling at a rea-
sonable or moderate speed there
would be practically no danger.
We have noticed recently that
some young colored people are IN
clined to drive at a reckless speed,
endangering their lives and the lives
of other persons who travel the pub
lie roads, endangering both those
who travel in automobiles and those
who ride in buggies. Up to this time
there has not been the slightest OBJ
lection to colored people buying and
owning cars on the part of the white
people, and there will not be as long
as they deport themselves properly
while using the cars. But driving at
a reckless speed along u public
roads, which in many places are very
narrow, will not be tolerated. Our
white pvoI lie, however, should set the
colored ,ople the proper, example
in this, as we'll as in other respects.
Many of them feel at liberty to do
what they see their white friends do
ing. If we mistake not, there is a
maximum speed limit fixed by law
for rural highways as we'll as for
| streets in towns and cities. If there
is not such a law, considering the

Loyal Women.

That the women of Edgefeld are true
and loyal patriots has again been
shown by the organization of two
more auxiliaries to the Edgefeld Red
Cross chapter.

cause by taking the committee in her
car to Horns Creek church where
an auxiliary vas organized with Mrs.
S. B. Mays, chairman; Miss Una Ryan
secretary; Mrs. W. R. Zimmerman,
treasurer. The membership list is not
vet finished, but enough have Joined
to show that this auxiliary will give
valuable help.
On Monday, July Is, Rev. R. G..

to answer the call from Flat Rock
where a number of ladies were as
sembled, some of whom were already
members of the Red Cross. Thirteen
new, names were added, including
Mrs. T. w. Lamb, chairman; Mrs.
Griffis, treasurer; Miss Mamie Bus
sey, secretary.
Misses Norma Shannonhouse and
Emily Bailey who went with the COM

BUSINESS MEN SEE THE
 FALLACY OF GERMAN PLANS
PAN-GERMAN DREAMS OF MID DLE EUROPE LEAGUE ARE
 RUDEEY AWAKENED

Amsterdam, July 17.-Those Pan Germans who dream Of complete economic independence as the result of the projected middle Europe leaeue are rudely awakened by Phillip Heine ken, director of the North German Lloyd steamship company, who pub lishes an article which has attracted d good deal of attention
 ''lt is Bremen, Ham burg and the other seaports where the entente strangle-hold will be the most severely felt" the director says, and the po- litical views of business men there are apt to clash with those of political schemers in Berlin"
 Director Heineken, who expressly disclaims judging the question from d too narrow ship owners point of view, warns against exaggerated expecta- tions from the "blessed word mittel Europa as a cure all to the economic ills to which the central powers are heirs"
 1t is a popular fallacy. he declares, to imagine that middle Europe will make up for lost markets abroad He pre- fers the principle adopted at Vienna in a resolution of the federated Aus tro-German commercial unions last June which "was the resumption of economic relations with all nations. ''
 Director Heineken recit a series of figures taken from the German war imports lists and continues by sayine that a glance shows 1t will be impos sible in the future to cover all these needs from domestic soutuva.
 Austria Hungary, which has no col onies, he says, is especially dependent on over seas supplies. It Is of prime importance Heineken thinks, that the central powers rid themselves as soon as possible after the war of the shackles of what he terms a state SO cialistic war administration and re- turn to individual enterprise.
 Middle Europe, he concludes, must be made a means to that end, but must never be regarded as political ahcieve- ment for it's own sake.

EFFICIENCY IN THE SENATE

One suspects that MT Ford would "standardize production" in the seu- ate and make that body efficient. Af- ter the approved methods of modern manufacturers, he would have the raS material of legislation enter the front door. pass through regulation mini mum operations and emerge a finished product at the rear, ready for the pres idents signature.
 Probably MT Ford would install a cost accounting system that would en- able the country to check up the indi- vidual record of every legislator and charge against him all the delays fol which he might be responsible.
 These are reasons that must weigh nightly with those who subscribe to hoary tradition The greatest delib- erative body in the world can scarcely desire to have it's peace disturbed by a crude mechanic from the pulsating middle west,
