MINISTER FORCED
TO QUIT PULPIT.
Widely Known Evangelist Was
Helpless For Seven Years.
Praises Tanlac.

''Tanlac has benefited me so much
wish ! could go all over the coun.
try and tell the people about this
wonderful medicine" declared Rev.
Rev. CHARLES H. Sanders, 1924
Fourth Avenue, Huntington. w. Va.
recently.
The Rev Mr.. Sanders, who is
widely known as an evangelist, es-
pecially in the Southern States, has
been minister in the Southern
Methodist church, West Virginia
Conference, for twenty-five years, is
a member of 1. o. o. F. Lodge No.
E51, Huntington, and is not only
prominent as minister of the gos-
pei, but is popular as man and
citizen.
Rev. Mr.. Sanders is by no means
the only minister to come forward
with his unqualified endorsement OF
Tanlac, as many hundreds of all de-
nominations, North, East, South and
West in fact, throughout the en-
tire American continent, have test.
fled to having used the medicine
with the most astonishing and graf
lfylne results. In describing his
case and failure to heretofore find
relief, Rev. Sanders said:
''At the time l began taking Tan
lac / had suffered from stomach
trouble, loss of appetite, and rheu-
matism for twenty years, the lest
seven years of which / was almos4
as helpless as a baby. The rheuma-
tism finally got so bad that | actu-
ally forgot all about my stomach
trouble and lost appetite.
Hundreds of my friends around
Huntington knew what an awful
| condition ] was in, and l was eX-
pecting the end to come most any
time. For seven months | couldn't
move leg OF an arm-Of course 1
had to give ur my wOrk-and until
taking my first Tanlac | had gotten
very little better. Acting under ad
vice Of physicians that warmer eli
mate might help ME, l, several years
ago carried on my work for two
years through the Southern States,
but returned home without any
benefit. l had also tried all kinds of
| medicines with no relief.
Finally in reading about TanlaC
ran across a testimonial from
man l knew personally and that is
why bought Tanlac, and 1 want to
say right now that the first bottle
made wonderful improvement in
my condition. l have just finished
my fourth bottle now and feel like
new man. The stomach trouble
and rheumatism have disappeared
entirely. l am eating just anything
and everything 1 want, and have
gained ten pounds in weight. 1 en-
dorse Tanlac without hesitation, for
such a medicine is blessing to
suffering humanity
Tanlac is sold in Paris at the

quests amounting to $17,000.00 were

INJURED MAN SAVED BY
LADS PRESENCE Of MIND
Injured Man Saved From Drowning
by Boys Quick Action

What would undoubtedly have
been a fatal accident but for the rare
presence of mind of Dick Cooper, IT.
year-old son of Senator Cooper, oc-
Cured at the fish docks at about 10
o'clock Wednesday morning.
A lighter that had been towed in
by the Teddy was being made fast and
line was thrown by Glen Coston to
man known as Pedro who Is en-
ployed by the West Coast Fish Co.
Pedro made an effort to catch the
line and in this effort stepped upon
plank in the dock that extended a
considerable distance from the sup
porting beam. The plank gave way
and Pedro made an effort to jump to
the deck of the boat below Instead
scended he was caught under the
arm by a high piling, suffering con-
siderable injury to his arm and side.
After striking the piling he was
thrown to the deck, and there, to
save himself from going overheard,
caught a heavy barrel. In the
scramble he fell overheard, followed
by the heavy barrel, which struck
him on the head and rendered him
unconscious. He began to sink i'm
mediately. Young Cooper, who was
standing nearby, without hesitation,
went to the mans rescue. Cooper
jumped in feet first, straddling Pc
dro's form, about which Cooper |
wound his legs, locking his feet on
the other side. Cooper then took |
hold of line that had been thrown
him and with Mr.. Coston's assist
ance succeeded in landing the half
dead man.
Doctors Mcqueen and Blount were
summoned and gave the unfortunate
man medical aid. While dangerous
" injured by the blow on the head
and suffering from other injuries,
here is hope that Pedro will recover.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETS
FRIDAY NIGHT
viii be Important and Interesting
Meeting-Many Matters Await
ing Attention of the Club

The regular monthly meeting o.
the Commercial Club, which will be
held tomorrow, Friday. night, will be
an unusually interesting one and II
is hoped that there may be large
attendance. There are so many
things of Importance requiring the
clubs consideration and action it is
likely that hereafter meetings will be
held weekly instead of monthly.
This is one of the things that will be
decided at the meeting tomorrow
night.
A large number of Punta Gordans
will go with the motorcade to Fort
Myers today and a committee will re-
port what they saw and heard at the
meeting in Fort Myers; there will be
reports from special committees ap-
pointed to handle matters pertaining
to the completion of the Tamiami
trail by the constitution OF straight
road from here to Fort Myers, and
other natter of equal interest and
Importance will be discussed.
A committee from Fort Myers, ac-
companied by -. C.,l'evi,,, in whose
car they went, made tour of inspec-
uon covering every foot of the road
between Charlotte Harbor and Tam
pa early last week and these gentle
men returned greatly pleased with
what they saw and the reception and
enthusiasm they met with at Sara
sofa, Bradentown and Manatee, all
of which places were visited. These
places, as a unit, are ready and anx-
ious to cooperate with Punta Gorda
and Fort Myers in getting State and
Federal aid to complete the trail
The committee found that there is
a fairly good road all the way from
Charlotte Harbor to Tampa. most of
the distance being paved with per-
manent or semi-permanent material.
The only bad road found was be-
tween Charlotte Harbor and Venice,
and this is by no means impossible.

Didn't Stop at S15.

The Punta Gorda Herald last week
told of the sale of a quantity of early

crate. The story makes us think
o. Peter Piper, and we wonder if he
would have made a fortune picking
peppers and then it seems certain,
provided he picked them from his
own place. The Herald's report was
to the effect that th'rty-ole crates of
peppers sold for $465; I'D then

of twenty-six crates for $13 crate.
