With the fine start toward robust health Tanlac gave me before en- tering the army and the physical exer- else and training l received while in the service I came home weighing 172 pounds. and that is my weight today. Quite diff ference in that and what I weighed be- fore took any Tanlac. isn't there? Since being mustered out of service last year and returning to my old trade as chef, and to my careless ways of living as well, my stomach began bothering me slightly few days ago. But knowing so we'll what Taniac did for me before, I inn mediately got a bottle, and it soon had me in first-class shape again. One can certainly depend upon Tanlac for results. At least I have found it that way, and there's nothing too good for me to say for it.

 Many local people are telling of the wonderful benefit they have derived from the use of Plant Juice in ailments of long standing.
 For instance, Mrs. Lula DeRoncey of Weems, Ala. who is popular among large circle of friends here, recently sta ted:
 For the past 10 years I have suf- fered from stomach trouble in the form Of indigestion and would have terrible pains after eating. I could scarcely keep any food in my stomach, as it would ferment and cause gas to form {; I would have such a choking feeling at times that I could hardly get my breath; I had such terrible dizzy spells that I felt as if I would fall over; l had pains all through my body. could not sleep at night and felt weak and all run down. I lost in weight and was reduced to skin and bones.' I started to take Plant Juice and got great relief from the, first few doses I tock; since I have continued to take it I can honestly say that it has put me on my feet and I feel like living again. eat all kinds of food and have good appetite for my meals. I sleep well and have no more trouble with gas. l have gained over four pounds in two weeks and I feel that I can honestly recommend Plant Juice to anyone, as il did so much for me-

LULU IN WEEK OF WAR
 IN LONDONDERRY
By Associated Press

Londonderry, June 24.-(Evening.)- Since midday there has been virtually no firing by the unionist and national ist forces who for a week have been waging civil warfare.
 No attempt has yet been to resume business, however, the streets being still deserted and the people keeping within doors.
 At meeting today of the magis- trates General Campbell gave the as surance that the government would provide sufficient troops for the pro lection of law-abiding citizens in Lon donderry. He issued proclama tion putting the curfew into force at II o clock Saturday evening until o'clock Sunday morning. A total of IT persons have been killed and 2S wounded dur ing the fighting in the city, According to an official statement issued by the police this evening. The statement says that five persons were killed and ten wounded last Saturday, two were killed and four wounded Monday. Three killed and one wounded Tuesday three killed and fourteen wounded Wednes- day and four killed Thursday

  looking from a window This morning the body of Patrick Plunkett, a com mercial traveller and well known in Belfast as acricket player, was found in Bishop street and removed to fire station. He was killed immediately after he had sent telegram to his wife informing her of his safety. A barber named Mclaughlin, who was killed by a sniper, was wounded two months ago A woman named Moore was shot today while looking from a window.
 The footing last night was more ex- tensive than ever. Numerous cases were reported of armed and masked men calling at the homes of unionists and nationalists and giving them a couple of hours to which to clear out.
 An English soldier who went through the war describing his experiences in Londonderry today said he had seen nothing in France to compare with the situation in Londonderry. Bullets, he said, were flying from all sides where ever he went and it was marvellous that so few lost their lives.
 An attack by a mob of 300 on the gas works last night was frustrated by the military, who took possession of the plant.
 Several parts of the city were with out food today.

It appears that the negro had just eaten his dinner and was sitting on the front porch when he fell over apparently dead. When Mir. Rives reached the scene he discovered that the negro had pulse and he got some ice, which he placed on the mans throat and called an ambulance. Moore was taken to the Hillman hospital, where he is re- ported to be doing nicely.
 In the opinion of the negroes who had gathered after Moore fell dead, Cor oner Rives bringing him to life with a piece of ice, as they expressed it. was nothing short of a miracle, and MT. Rives is expecting numerous other calls to restore persons dying suddenly.

 'If we do. the whole city should go wild. We should close up the stores, hold mass meetings, get bands and cele- brate We should send telegrams to Att lanta friends, congratulating them. In other words, rub it in.
 "If we do not reach Atlanta's number we should look to the things in which we do pass that city. For instance, Bir- mngham has more manufacturing plants than any two cities in the south.
