PERFECT REMEDY


''From my long experience as nurse
I do not hesitate to say that con-
slider Tanlac Natures most perfect
remedy" recently declared Mrs. I. A.
Borden, 425 Pontius Ave-, Seattle,
Wash. Mrs. Borden is graduate Of
the National Temperance Hospital,
Chicago, and her wide experience in
caring for the sick lends particular
emphasis to her statement.
81 have used Tanlac exclusively for
seven years in the treatment Of my
charity patients" continued Mrs. Bor-
den, "and my experience has been that,
for keeping the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels functi0ning properly and
for toning up the system in general,
Tanlac has no equal. Recently had
a woman patient who could not even
keep water on her stomach for fifteen
minutes. Six bottles of Tanlac fixed
her up so she could eat absolutely any
thing. Another patient, a man, seemed
unable to digest any food at all. Three
bottles Of Tanlac put him in such fine
shape he went back to work. These
two cases are typical. MY confidence
in Tanlac is unlimited"
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

ROY MOORE'S BATTING MARK
 SETS OFF HIS RECORD AS LEAGUES LEADING HURLER
Murray, CuyIer And D. Will Hams Reach Century Mark In Number Of Runs

Three players in the Southern as- sociation have gone over the century mark in runs. Murray of Nashville has come up like a flash and is now second to D. Williams of Mobile. Guy Ter of Nashville was the last to step over the line.
 Not only has Cuyler grabbed off an even hundred tallies, but he has gone to fourth place in hitting during the week. He had not materially fat tened his percentage, although he has gained a couple of points, bu; others have failed to connect at ops perfume moments Cuyler, the busy bee in the league, added five stolen bases to his already fat total, and he bids fair to setting a seasons record if he continues to sprint as he is do- ing until the finish.
 Herman of Memphis. second last week in hitting, still occupies the place, but he is more secure just now, having added seven points to his pre- vious total. Huhn has bettered his mark slightly and is still leader among the swatters.
 Credit should go to R. Moore of Birmingham although he has been to bat only 106 times. Being a pitch CT. he is not expected to show often, but the fact that he has compiled an average of .36S lends distinction to his pitching record, which is the best l nlne league.
 Bernsen of Nashville is fairly well entrenched in third place. Cueto and R. and D. Williams of Mobile are punched with $. Clarke of Birming- ham and Nunamaker of Chattanooga.
 The only ones among the leading circuit drivers who have added to their totals have been J. Anderson of Chattanooga, who compiled his elev- enth home run the other day, and Herman. who pounded out his thir- teenth.
 There have been a few switches in the batting among the teams, but none has been marked. Nashville leads the hitters, and New Orleans the fielders.
 New Orleans has the lions share of leading hitters in Whitaker, Walker and Martina. R. Moore of with II and l, Long of Mobile com ing next with 13 and 7
