 He Writes Friend.

One of the latest additions to the list of leaders of thought and action who have come forward with their 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 at one time editor of one of the South's greatest newspa- pers. The Birmingham Age-Herald. Writing to a personal friend in At
 lanta Mir. Evans says:: Birmingham. Ala, Feb. 2nd. ". By the way, you will hardly know me when we meet again, because I am getting so we'll and strong again. As told you while in Atlanta last month. I have been suffering long time with gastritis. as the doctors call it-really a dis ordered stomach with consequent constipation pains in the shoulders. headache. belching. heartburn. loss of uDpetlte, iOSS ol Siecp, spells. For weeks I could not sleep on my back.
 "One week ago: upon recommenda- tion of friends who had tried the med icine, I purchased one bottle of Tanlac and began taking 1t. Since my second dose I have suffered none of these troubles to which I refer. and really believe am going to get perfectly well 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 I am not given t" pulling mere experiments and am rather orthodox as to materia medica.
 "I shall continue the treatment with perfect confidence in the final results.
 Signed "Frank V. Evans"

 Councilman Maynard, head of the Police Committee. reported 10 the council on an endeavor made by him self in cooperation with the Bureau of Education officials to induce visit ing natives cncamped near the milk ranch to remove to the Sandspit. The natives were interviewed on the sub ject and found to be out of sympathy with the proposal because of q super stitious fear of contracting influenza if forced to reside in the locality where so many natives died two years ago. The, matter was finally compromised by the natives agreeing to keep their East End camping ground in clean and sanitary condition. thus removing the chief caise of offense against their occupancy of that district. With this understanding. they were permitt ed to remain. Councilman l.omen of the Health and Relief Committee and Health Officer Dr. Welch. reported they had inspected the native en- eampment and found it in sanitary condition Chairman Lomen also re- ported on behalf of his committee re- garding the state of the city burial plot in Belmont Point cemetery. concern- ing which some criticism has recently Leen forthcoming. At the conclusion of the report the council instructed the committee to proceed with the work of placing the plot in a satisfac tory condition.
