Abe Jackson, colored, was indicted
for stealing money from the station

were then under the control of the
government, the trial was in United

The station agent, who was white,
testified that he did not know Jackson

of the theft
Jackson's defense was ingenious. He
did not deny that he got the money
from the agent but claimed that he

For many years druggists have watched
With much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root

Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
Il is sold by all druggists on its merit and

Has Never Felt
Better In All
Her Life

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. 1t
seems to quickly invigorate the con-
stitution and is powerful foe of
weakness. Mrs. Mary Choklat, 1415
N. Broadway. Los Angeles, Calf,
says:
Before I took Tanlac, I was so
weak l had to be helped from one
room to another. My nerves were
shattered and my digestion so poor I
was almost afraid to eat anything,
but now I am In perfect health and
will always be grateful to Tanlac."
There is not a single portion OF the
body that is not benefited by the
helpful action OF Tanlac. 1t enables
the stomach to turn the food into
healthy blood, bone and muscle, puri-
fies the system and helps you back
to normal weight. Get a bottle today

Gramont told of finding the oil; he

remained grave. He went on to relate
how he had secured the lease option

ed that other such options be secured
at once upon other property in the
neighborhood. He handed the option
to Fell, who laid it with the other
documents.
