firm. Tke book is now in its third edi- ton.
 THE TWO-FACED MANI By varick vanardy. The Macaulay com
 pany, publishers, No. 15 West Thirty
 eighth street, New Yofk city
 I quck-moving, spirited detective story full of dramatic situations The author here unravels the seemingly un- bills; tells of the mysterious vanishing of the earth'' of young woman; and uncovers the career of the wayward son of a multi millionaire who, through love and association with evil-doers, was to- bogganing to a disgraceful doom.
 Nevertheless. the main interest in the tale is intentionally focused upon the mysterious character of Crew, the two faced man, who is the proprietor of q resort for adventurers of the underworld. He is regarded by them as the master criminal of them all, but who is, on the side-well, many other things than what he appears.
 THE INVISIBLE ENEMY" By George c. Shedd The Macaulay com
 pany. publishers, No. 15 West Thirty eighth street, New York city.
 This story is marvel of timeliness, and masterpiece OI NTSVelallOn or the underhand plottings of the Hun and his interruptions agents. It is based upon the all-important shipbuilding situation of our country, and 1t discloses to what extretmes the "Inyisible'' enemy will go in the effort to prevent the launching of more ships Without more ships the huge armies of the allies would be rendered impotent and the ponderous en- zines of destruction could no longer rain increasing devastation upon the en- enemy trenches. Food, shells and other munitions would be denied to our armies
 German intrigue is here exposed at its height and depth, and there are thrills and excitement aplenty. All this, combined with the powerful love- interest, renders the story one of un- usual quality and strength. ' THE HAPPIEST TIME OF THEIR
 LIVES'
 By Alice Duer Miller. The Century

 In this new novel. Mrs. Miller has struck a graver, deeper, kinder note than in any of her other novels, giv- ing to 1t at the same time all her us- ual brilliance. wit and gaiety.
 This new story is not what is gem orally understood as a purpose or prob lem novel But Mrs. Miller is not con- tent with making the narrative go along swiftly, maneuyering the plot clements for suspense and thrills, and her characters to indulge in the most stimulating and delightful dialogue; she does more, she supplies

FORMER MAYOR EN-
D0RSES TANLAC
"YOu Will Hardly Know Me
When We Meet Again, For
| Am Getting Well" He
Writes Friend

One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and action
who have come forward with theil
unqualified endorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans
former Mayor of Birmingham, Ala
ex-State Examiner of Public Accounts
of Alabama, and one time editor of
one of the South's greatest news
papers, The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Writing to personal friend in At
lanta, Mr.. Evans says:
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2, 1916
by the way you will hardly
know me when we meet again because
l am getting well and strong again.
AS / told you while in Atlanta last
month, l have been suffering a long
time with gastritis, as the doctors
call it, really disordered stomach,
belching, heartburn, loss of appetite,
loss of sleep and fainting spells. Foz
weeks | could not sleep on my back.
zone week ago, upon recommended
ton of friends, who had tried the
medicine, l purchased one bottle of
Tanlac and began taking it. Since
my second dose | have suffered none
of these troubles to which refer and
believe l am going to get perfectly
we'll and strong again. Won't that be
wonderful at my age? Well, certain
it is that Tanlac is a wonderful med
icine, and you know that am not
given to putting mere experiments
and am rather orthodox as to materia
medica.
81 shall continue this treatment with
perfect confidence in the final results.
(Signed) CRANK V. EVANS"

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mys-
terious process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invaids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,

London, June 21.-'The British en-

to her foes and a surprise to her
friends" said Premier Lloyd George
at Westminster today in offering
toast to ''our cabinet colleagues from

achievements Of the empire and the
manner in which the .Dominions
rushed to the aid of the motherland.

mier said. I'VE have cleared the sea

Statements in Austrian newspa-

that the Austrians have great num-

they will be able to continue their
