nent not only as minister OF
the gospel, but popular as a man
and citizen who has been true to
his friends and every trust ever

"For the past ten months Mrs
sykes has been in very delicate
health. suffering from bad stom-
ach aud kidney troubles, which
gradually developed into gener-
al nervous breakdown. At times
her condition became alarming
and I frequently sought medical
advice, but nothing we ND dc
for her seemed to bril- relief
''In fact, she suffered so Ions
and so much that / feel It my
duty to let everyone know what
this medicine has done for her.
For several months her condition
was such that she had TO remain
in bed, and as a last resort ! de-
cided to let her try Tanlac.
all d COAbCISutlf mail dllu
have always been skeptical re-
xarding the use of proprietary
medicines, but this case has GER
tainly proven an exception. I am
now firmly convinced that Tan
lac is a medicine Of great power
and extraordinary merit. do
not think I have ever seen any
thing TO give such prompt results.
Mrs. Sykes had taken only two
thirds of a bottle of this medicine
when We began to notice a mark

IN less than a week from the time
she began taking 1t she was able

fore she began taking Taniac she

suffered constantly from sour

Big BANKERS OF
The SOUTH NOW
INDORSE TANLAC
Officials of Well Known
Financial Institutions
Tell Their Experience

Two of the best known bank
ers in the Southern states re-
Gently in personal letters told OF
their remarkable experience with
the use Of Tanlac. Their letters
follow exactly as written:
The first letter quoted comes
thru Eli w. Goode, druggist and
local agent for Tanlac at Haw-
kinsville, Ca, containing the
statement of e. J. Henry, presi-
dent of the Hawkinsville Bank IL
Trust Company, which is one oil
the best known financial institu-
tons in that part of the state.
His letter follows just as 1t was
written:
''Hawkinsville, Ca, March 5, 1917
"Mr. G. F.. Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Mr.. K. j. Henry
president of the Hawkinsville
Bank e Trust Company, came in
to my store a few days ago, and
said:
Eli. sell me another bottle of
Tanlac.'
81 said, Mr.. Henry, what do
you really think Of Tanlac?' His
reply was so commendable to the
virtues of the medicine that l
asked him IL he would give me a
signed statement about it. He
said, Yes, OF course / WILL and
this is his statement:
Last spring ] was all wrong
some way or other, and couldn't
get right. / came to you and
bought bottle OF Tanlac and
began to improve. Two more hot
ties put me all right, and I felt
perfectly we'll. A few weeks ago
I had the grippe and was begin
ming to get down and out again,
and about a week ago l bought
another bottle and have taken 1t
and am perfectly we'll again.
"'1 unhesitatingly recommend
Tanlac to any one who is sick and
worn out, as believe that If any
body will take Tanlac when they
first begin to feel badly it will
prevent and keep off sickness. 1t
certainly is q great remedy.
(Signed) "'E. ]. HENRY,
President, Hawkinsville Bank
& Trust Co.."
The other letter referred to
comes from the cashier of the
Hornbeck branch of the West
Louisiana Bank, at Hornbeck,
La, and is as follows:
'Hornbeek, La, March 5, 1917.
mt. G.. f. Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: l wish to say that I
have taken five CD bottles of

DR.. J. 7. EDWARDS
PRESCR'BES IT

DR.. J. T. Edwards, of Fayette-
vile, Ca, one of the best known
members of the medical profess
sion in the state of Georgia,
makes a statement that will I'M
doubtedly produce a profound i'm
preston thruout the country.
"In my thirty years of active
practice as a licensed physician
in the state of Georgia." says DIR.
Edwards, II have never seen any
thing to equal Tanlac as a medi-
cine to produce results l hear
people on all sides telling of the
benefits they have derived from
its use.
"Tanlac is simply the talk Of
my town. I have no hesitancy in
recommending the medicine, and
as a matter of fact. I. am pre-
scribing 1t for my patients almost
every day.
"Only few days ago a well
known woman of Fayetteville
came to me and told me about the
remarkable relief her daughter
had gained from the use of this
medicine. She said her daughter
had been confined to her bed for
three years with what had been
pronounced pellagra, and that
after using Tanlac for short
thine. she was able to be about,
land was on the road to recovery.
but this is only one in
stance. People in all walks OF
life in and around our little city
are giving similar Endorsements
to the medicine. Seldom a day
passes that someone does not
come to me and say something
about the good results they are
getting from the use of Tanlac."

HOLLANDERS
ARE ANGRY

ROTTERDAM, March 22.-In
the absence of the text of Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation, direct
ing the seizure Of Dutch shipping
in American harbors, crowds
gathered Thursday around bulle-
tin boards to read of the action.
Mingled anger and bewilder-
ment were evident among the
watchers.
Speaking of the seizure, the
Nieuw Rotterdamsche Courant
says:
The American government has
seized another's goods The ac-
tion is a stain on the United
States history that will be inef-
facsable for decades. The Dutch
will bear the blow with dignity,
which lis the small country's best
answer to the big power for lgriev-
Gus injury"

ders and headache continually
My appetite left me almost en-
tirely and everything i wonld eat
hurt me. Finally l got to hav-
ing awful attacks of acute indi-

more of these spells every night
and | would wake out of my rest
less sleep gasping for breath.
81 bought a bottle of Tanlac,
and to my surprise and gratifica-

A WOMAN'S SUCCESS
IN RESEARCH WORK

Mrs. Lillian A. Turner of st. Paul,
Mimi, the only Negro student to re-
ceive a degree from the University
of Minnesota this year, was one Of
the twenty-three students recently
elected to Phi Beto Kappa, the hon.
orary academic fraternity. This is the
first time that this university has con-
ferred such an honor on student of
our race, therefore this election marks
the beginning of a new era for Negro
students who may enroll in the uni
versity. They may always have hope
that true merit will be recognized.
Mrs. Turner finished her academic
work in three and half years with
the degree Of Bachelor of Arts with
honors, degree. requiring higher
general average and more intensive
work than the straight Bachelor Of
Arts degree. On the basis of the ex-
cellency Of her thesis Mrs. Turner
was sent by the department of An
thropology and Sociology of the Uni
versity to do research work at Will
berforce University. Since her return
Mrs. Turner has been doing intensive
work in the graduate school Of the
University of Minnesota.
