Thousands OF frail. nervous people
and convalescents everywhere have
testified TO the remarkable power OF
Tanlac In bringing back their health.
strength, and working efficiency. It
seems to quickly invigorate the con
stitutiOn and Is a powerful foe of
weakness. Mrs. Mary ChOklat, 1915
n. Broadway, Los Angeles. Calf,
says:
Before I took Tanlac, was so
weak / had TO be helped from one
room to another. My nerves were
shattered and my digestion so poor I
was almost afraid 10 eat anything.
but now l am in perfect health and
viii always be grateful TO Tanlac."
There Is not a single portion Of the
body that is not benefited by the
helpful action OF Tanlac. II enables

that the country was flooded with liter

NOT A CASE OF ALTRUISM, BUT MISREPRESENTATION

A large shipment of red gum lumber was re- gently made from Alexander City, through the port of Mobile, to Alexandria, Egypt nearly half way around the world.
 This lumber was moved at a lower freight cost because Mobile is closest to Alabama pro- ducing points. The firm in Egypt purchasing the Alexander City lumber paid price to the producer based on the freight charge to Mobile and thence to Alexandria. Had it been neces- sary to ship the lumber via New York the freight bill would have been larger and the Alexander City firm would have received smaller price.
 This applies in equal force to every Alabama lumber, naval stores, grains or the finished goods turned out of mills. When, in addition to the proximity of the port at Mobile the still lower cost of shipping to Mobile by the Warrior river is considered, the advantages of a developed port at Mobile admit of no cavil the part of Alabamians.
 Many of the ships built of Alabama steel in an Alabama shipbulding yard ply in and out of New Orleans rather than Mobile because New Orleans has superior port facilities which Mobile does not possess. Louisiana provided these port facilities at no expense to the tax payers, because the port more than earns in- kerest and principal on the investment.
