TIVE NEVER SEEN

Steele Had To Quit Railroading On Ac'
count of had HeMtll--Gains Fifteen
Pounds Taking Tanlac.

"lf | could speak with everybody
personally who has stomach trouble
and rheumatism, | would tell them TO
take Tanlac for | have tried II myself
and have never seen anything like II"
was the statement made by j, T.
steele, OF shirley, H., recently. NJ,
Steele, who is now employed in "A gem
eral store in shirley, was formerly
conductor on the l.. 4 y. railroad,
which position he states he had to give
up on account of bad health.
"a number of years ago. while rail
roading," he continued. 81 began suf'
fering from stomach trouble and rheu'
matism and kept getting worse in spite
of all | could do. My appetite left me
and | would suffer terribly from indi-
gestion and gas on the stomach after
every meal. My head ached great
deal of the time. | also suffered agon-
les from rheumatism and felt tired,
worn out and no account all the time.
| simply got to where | had to be as
careful as a baby about my eating,
was very pale. and finally became so
thin and weak was forced to give up
railroading altogether.
About this time | began to see Tan.
lac recommended very highly and de.
cided to see if it would help me as
others said it had them. My stomach
soon got in shape to where | could
eat cabbage. beans. meats, potatoes and
Just anything else | wanted without
tho slightest trouble afterwards. SO
| kept on taking Tanlac and when |
finished my fifth bottle my rheumatism
and all my other troubles had disap-
peared and had gained fifteen pounds
in weight besides. That was nearly
three years ago. but l have held my
weight and felt fine to this good day
SO | can testify to both the immediate
and lasting results that come from the
use of Tanlac. and | firmly believe if
/ had known about it in time | would
have continued my railroad work. No
doubt there are lots of people today
suffering like | did before | took Tan
lac and if | can show them the road
to health | think it is nothing but right
that ] should do So"
Tanlac is sold by all leading drug
stores everywhere.-adv.

THE SOUTH PROVIDING
FOR NEGRO TROOPS

Columbia, S. c., May 2.-The last
Legislature of this state appropriated
$4,000 to the State Colored Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Orangeburg.
This is one of the many signs of a
quickening appreciation of the value
of better education for negroes. The
Louisiana Legislature has appropriated
s25, 900 for new building at the state
normal school for coloretL students,
to meet $25.000 offered by the general
education board; and the state superin-
tendent of education of North Caro-
lima announces as the aim of his depart
ment high school for colored boys and
girls in every county of the state.
There are already IA county train
ing schools for teachers in North
Carolint, and 73 in the entire South.
Last year there were "a; and their
usiefulnesN was so Demonstrated that
the county boards of education gave
$132, 900 for their support against S45,-
600 by the Jeans Fund and the gener-
al education board combined Such facts
show that the South is. in the words
of a distinguished Methodist bishop
turning its attention from the negro
problem to a negro program"

ton has passed and capital legitimatey

and the best interests Of the so1te
should no longer be made to suffer by
the whims and caprices of some erratic
demagoguc who wishes TO put forward
some pet interest In the recent seS-
sion of the Legislature ther was not en-
acted a single freak bill and every
measure enacted was of a constructive
nature. l venture the assertion that
never has n Legislature passed as many
bills for the benefit Of the farmer as
during the recent session. The pro
gram of educational legislation enacted
was a generous and excellent one.
But over and above all else i'm i'm
portance is the matter of good roads,
because the boy and girl cannot reap
the benefits of this legislation so far
as their educational advantages are con-
cerned unless we provide them with
good roads upon which they can go to
andfrom school. The rural communi-
ties, the farms and small towns, are to
have more and more in common with
your cities as this great road building
program develops and the people of the
state are afforded a means of coming
in closer contact with each other, not
only in a commercial and business way,
but socially also. 1t means a greater

ports about the measure.
Thomas Plan Not Practical
81 make the assertion that accord
ing to Senator Thomas so.called plan,
which nobody has seen, the state will
spend millions of dollars as it has in the
past and get no good from it.
According to this plan the county
would have TO appropriate 5000 900. the
state s6,00O,000 and then the federal
government aid of $4,000, 900 would be
appropriated.
But the state is not in a position
to handle any $4,000 appropriation.
The taxes are so high and the cost
of living is so great that it couldn't
be done. We would drag along with no
better roads than we have now and we
may as well say that we haven't any
roads at all for we haven't.
THE farmers should vote for the
measure for they will have their good
roads with practically no increase in
taxation. Oklahoma is clearly an ag
rcultural state.
ut is provided that the bonds will
be issued as they are needed and ac.
cording to this plan the interest will
date from the times of issue. A lot
of false rumors have been spread about
in this regard also.
Explains Road Plan
at is nothing new as some of my
enemies have been saying. And | am
surprised that such Il man as former
Governor Cruce should have taken the
stand he did the other day. And yet
he left the governors chair without
having contributed a foot of good roads
to the state.
States throughout the country are
adopting this plan. 1t means for US
4, 700 miles of hard surfaced roads that
will not run off when it rains and fly
when the wind blows.
1T means that we will be keeping
apace with the times and will be do

because it absorbs the hurtful excess
acid in the stomach and drives out the
bloat and gas. You won't know you
