ENGINEER TELLS
ABOUT HIS WIFE'S
RECENT RECOVERY
G. G. Gciger Says His Wife's Troubles
Have Entirely Disappeared Since
She Began Taking Tanlac.

"Tanlac not only relieved my wife Of
her rheumatism, but she has catually
gained twenty pounds since taking il"
said G. G. Geiger, engineer on the
Georgia Railroad, living at SO East
Linden street, Atlanta, Ga.
''The rheumatism was so bad that
her feet would swell until she couldn't
get her shoes on and her arms ached
until she said they felt like they would
drop off. Her head ached and she had
dizzy spells, and was SO nervous that
she could hardly sleep. Her appetite
failed and she lost steadily in weight
and strength She was unable to look
after her housework, and finally got
SO bad that she had to take to her
bed and stay there for weeks,
"She tried all kinds of medicines,
but nothing did her much good, and /
decided to have her try Tanlac. After
taking four bottles her rheumatism
was entirely relieved, she had no more
headaches, is no longer nervous and
sleeps like a baby. Her appetite is
fine and she is gaining in weight and
strength right along. She is as full
Of lif eand energy as if she were
different person, and is looking after
the housework as though she had
never been sick at ALL"

FOR NATIONAL AND
WORLDWIDE PROHIBITION
January 1928, 1920.

January 1913, l9zV.
The Anti-Saloon is preparing to put
on campaign for funds, the "Drive"
to begin January 10th, 1920, the date
ON which the Constitutional amend
ment becomes operative.
What Is the Anti-Saloon League?
II those men and women throughout
the country who contribute to its
support are members. It's officers
are composed of the leading preach
ers, business men and politicians Of
the country. It is the most power
full organization in America today.
This is shown. in the fact that the
League was able to get Congress to
pass an amendment to the Constitu-
tion, and then to succeed in getting
forty-fve States to ratify the amend
ment. In some of these States to
get message before all the people
it was necessary to have it written in
not less than twenty-five languages.
Why Is Campaign Necessary?
1. To combat the publicity of the
Liquor interests and to aid in law en-
forcement. Liquor people are delight
ed when "Blind Tigers" flourish, be-
cause it brings the law into disrepute.
The Anti-Saloon Leagues efforts will
be devoted to assisting in keeping
down violations of the law. Remove
this force and see what will happen.
What happened in Boston when the
Police strike was on? They had laws
against burglary, rapine, etc., yet in
that cultured city, houses were brok-
en- into, men were held up and rob-
bed on the streets and crime ran riot.
All real Americans are in favor of
law and order.
2. To combat the political efforts
of the liquor interests. We felt that
we were safe, and while we slept they
organized in twenty-five States, and
are now hard at work to defeat Ma
tlonal Constitutional Prohibition
through the referendum in eleven
states. They have millions to spend
We must have hundreds of thousands,
While Mississippi will still be "dry'
even if the National Prohibition Act
| should be defeated, what will it mean
to have the State flooded with liqour
from adjoining wet states, las has
been the custom in the past? Through
letters which they are sending out to
candidates for the Legislature and
State Senate, and also to candidates
for Congress and the United States
Senate, they are demanding considera-
ton of their cause. All of this the
Anti-Saloon League must meet. We
cannot do this without funds, and the
government has stated that the en-
forcement of the prohibition laws will
| be up to the states. The amount al
ready appropriated by the government

GIVE US BETTER ROADS.

Oxford, and Lafayette county as
well, is in the lime light for a boom
unparalleled by any so-called boom in
past history.
In all probability, oil will be flow
ing through pipe lines in Lafayette
county within the next twelve months.
There will be, in this event, a great
thrush OF people from every section OF
the globe, the result of which will
mean building boom in Oxford. 1t
will mean that much travelling in
every direction in the county will be
Necessary. This within itself points
to the needs of more and better roads
for our county. More roads we can
get leading to Oxford, the better it
will be for Oxford and the people Of
the county. That is why we should,
by all means, encourage the move to
get hard surfaced roads leading in the

Pontotoc.
Oxford is on a direct line from
Memphis to Calhoun City, and by do
ing our part well, we believe that
Pontotoc citizens and the people OF
Calhoun will meet US.
In a recent issue of the Calhoun
Monitor, wide-awake newspaper
published at Pittsboro, one w. "A.
Bruner has this to say with reference
to the road leading in the direction OF
Memphis from that city:
calhoun City proposes to be tne
hub of the county, so we are nfofmeo'
the road is to cross the county line
near Slate Springs, thence on North
to the city, then to Pittsboro, due to
cross Schoona at Liquor-Up; then 1t
stays on the job alright for about SIX
miles north of Pittsboro. Up to this
point | do not think it could have been
beat in carrying out the plans as I'M
derstood at first.
"F,rorn this point, from some cause
whfdh we know not, the proposed route
turns a north-easterly direction to-
ward, Pontotoc, by the way of Sa-
repta. Now we rise from the stand
point of north of Schoonaite. Pom,
ee is a nice little city, which Will
conpare well with other towns as
county site, but we insist that Ponto-
toe is not the railroad market OF the
twentieth man in Calhoun county.
Half Of the people in the county never
saw the town, nor ever will. NOW II
is o well known fact that Memphis is
tlle commercial center for at least
four states, especially North Mlssls-
sfDpi. This being true, is why about
eiglt railroads from every direction
point to Memphis. This being true;
is the reason why all important dirt
roads should point that way. In fact
as this is the most remote part OF
fSgth Mississippi, from the railroad,
we were advised before the election
that this highway would serve as a
substitute for railroad. This was
another reason why this part Of the
country helped to carry the county for
the road
eve are creditably informed that
Lafayett ecounty is circulating a petit
ton for the means to supply a road
link of six miles from Yocona river to

sect the Jeff Davis Highway, which

pills."

1. Ultimate World Prohibition.
IL. The Anti-SaIoon League al
ways has been inter-denominational
and non-partisan. The World League
against alcoholism is both non parti-
san and inter-denominational, and, in
addition, is International At June
conference on worldwide prohibition,
representatives of more than a score
of nations were present and pleadingly
urged that the people of the United
States should go into their countries
and help them bring about the result
| that has been brought about in Amer
lea.
/ We are expecting every loyal Amer
| lean to assist us, every man who
would aid in the religious, moral, po-
litical and economical welfare of the
country. Some men say that this
campaign is unnecessary, now that we
have National prohibition; if every
one took this view we would not have
National Prohibition long. Some will
say this does not appeal to me, Why
should l help? Some years since a
prominent pastor in Atlanta went into
a place where drink was sold. A
member of his church saw him go in
and later said to him, doctor, what
were you doing in that dive?" to
which the pastor replied, 81 went in
to bring young man out" "But,
said the man, "you will cause people
to talk about you, and this will hurt
not only you but our church." The
pastor then replied, "But it was your
own boy | went after" We are part
of this great nation, and each of us
has an obligation to every other one
and our nation grows greater only
when every man does his duty.
! Mississippi was the first state in
the Union to pass the constitutional
prohibition amendment; let US be the
first to go cover the Top" in this
campaign for funds.

The Anti-Saloon League Department

for this purpose has been exhausted.
3. Cuba, Mexico and South Ameri-
ca are beig made bases Of supplies.
The league will have to do some work
in these places in order that prohibit
ton may be effective at home.
A. Prohibition is no longer simply q
religious question. It is no longer
simply moral question. It is no
longer simply a political question. It
is each of these and more. It is an
economic question. The biggest bus
mess men of the nation have learned
that business from the viewpoint OF
employee is better under the prohibi-
ton regime, and therefore they are
backing the League.
5. Laws are to be enacted and en-
forced. The work Of education is to
go on. The traffic has been voted out
and now it must be eliminated. Dras-
tic laws are to be framed, passed and
executed. The people must be edu-
Gated to the fact that although the
National Prohibition Act has been
passed and that many of the States
have also passed the "Bone Dry" law
that the fight is not yet over, the
liquor interests are not dead, but are
working night and day to annul these
laws.
6. Suppose right now the Anti-Sa-
loon League throughout the country
should disband, what would be the re-
suit? Inside of twenty-four hours the
Liquor Camp would be the busiest
place in the United States. Wet
propaganda would flood the state anc
nation. Plans would at once be for
mulated looking to the undermining OF
dry sentiment, and the repeal of dry
laws. Who would plan to meet the
hired attorneys of the "wets" in the
courts? Whose business would it b.
to see that proper legislation is en-.
acted and defended? How would dry
sentiment be Systematically SUI
stained?
Z. Ratification OF the prohibition
amendment to the constitution is the
consummation of more than twenty.
five years of effort on the part of the
Anti-Saloon League, representing, as
it has, the moral and religious force.
of the nation. 1t is the greatest vic.
tory for moral reform in America
since the Declaration of Independence

which has been accomplished is the
vitally essential task now before the
Prohibition forces of securing from
Congress and the States, proper en-
forcement legislation and the crystal
lization of public sentiment in the
large cities and wet districts for com
