Thinks 1t Only Short Time Before
Mrs. Sykes Will Be Fully
Stored.
Rev. A. H. Sykes, former pastor of
the Watkins Park Presbyterian
church, Nashville, Tenn, says:
after seeing what Tanlac has &C
complished in my wife's case, l am
convinced that it is a medicine of
great power and extraordinary merit.
| do not think | have ever seen any
thing to give such prompt results.
Mrs. Sykes had been in delicate health
for ten months, suffering from stom-
ach trouble and nervous breakdown.
Il frequently sought medical advice
but Tanlac is the only thing that gave
her any relief. After taking the
medicine only a short time, she was
able to sit up and help with the house
hold duties. l think it only short
time until her health will be fully re-
stored"

AMERICAN LEGION
State Gathering at Norfolk September
Fret

First.
Slight changes have been made IN
the program for the third annual cor
vention of the Virginia department
of the American Legion, which will
be held in Norfolk on September L.
and 3 and which is expected to be
one of the greatest gatherings OF
former service men in Virginia OF
neighboring states this year.
On the second day of the convention
which previously had been left open
strictly for business, there will be a
big ball and fireworks display in the
evening, and in addition to delega-
ton has gone to Washington to in
vitc President Harding, Secretary OF
Navy DENLY, and Theodore Roose.
welt, Jr., Assistant Secretary OF
Navy, who was one of the organizers
of the American Legion in France.
With these men speaking on the
evening of the second day, those in
charge of the convention plan to
make it big patriotic and civic cele-
bration, which will be held in the open
air. Instead of going to Virginia
Beach on the third and closing day
Of the meeting, the delegations will be
entertained at Ocean View, which IS
believed to be the best seaside resort
for the occasion.
Elaborate preparations are now IN
progress in Norfolk for the conven-
ton, and arrangements have been
worked out by the merchants and
others of that city for decorating the
principal streets. Delegates from
every section of the state will be pre-
sent, and for the first time, indlvl-
dual members OF the Legion are be-
ing urged by the department officers
to be present this year and partici-
pate in the deliberations CT the con-
vention.
Alexandria Post No. "a will be rep
resented at this convention by Capt.
George H. Evans and Gilbert Cox,
Jr.. while o. A. Rcardon goes on COM
mittee from Eighth Congressional Dis
trict.

A S he stood at the clerks desk In
IA the hall of the house of repre-.
sentatives on the evening of April 2,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments of
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because she
kept us out of the war" Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
%thereupOn handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The filibustering SEN
ate failing to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress In extraor
binary session to receive a commune
cation-concerning grave matters o.
national policy"
No other president in the whole
curse of his service has had 70 make
so many momentous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had 70 make in
