MINISTERS OF GOSPEL
PUT TANLAC TO TEST
Weil-Known Ministers of the South Come Out
Openly and Fearlessly and Tell What They
Know to Be the Truth About the Medicine
That Has Helped Them.
R
ARELY will a minister of the Gospel indorse a proprietary medicine.
The preacher's high calling, the influence he commands puts a grave
responsibility on his every word. He will not jeopardize his reputation
by commending a thing without first assuring himself it is all right. His
word carries as much weight in the home, on the street, or in the public
prints as in the pulpit.
When ministers of some of the great-
est communions in the land indorse
Tanlac their words carry conviction.
They say what they know to be the
truth. They have put Tnnlac to the
test of personal service and have not
found it wanting.
The proprietors of Tanlac have re-
ceived countless testimonials from peo-
ple In every walk of life, earnestly
commending it. Among them are n
number from prominent ministers of
various churches. A few of these are
printed below.
Rev. W. C. Norton Is pnstor of the
Wesley Memorial church of Jackson-
ville, Fla. He says:—"I suffered from
•chronic indigestion for years. I seldom
slept well and had severe headaches.
Since taking Tanlac I feel as well as
ever I did—sleep splendidly and eat
anything I want. Tanlac has restored
my health and I feel It my duty to
recommend It."
Uev. A. H. S.vkes, pnstor of Watkins
Park Presbyterian church, Nashville,
Tenn., says:—Mrs. Sykes suffered
from stomach and kidney troubles and
11 nervous breakdown. Tnnlac restored
her health—she Is gaining strength
and flesh rapidly—her full restoration
Is but a question of time."
Rev. E. G. Butler, pnstor of Central
Baptist church, Muskogee, Okla.,
nays:—"I had attacks of acute Indiges-
tion. Results from taking Tanlac have
been most satisfactory—am glad to
recommend it as the best medicine I
liave ever tried."
Rev. F. M. Winburn, Methodist. San
Antonio. Tex., says:—"I had no appe-
tite—suffered from weakness nnd gen-
eral deblljt.v—could not work without
quickly tiring. Found Tanlac just
what my system needed. I consider
Tanlnc a good medicine to build up
run-down systems."
Rev. R. J. Taylor, pastor St. Pleas-
ant Baptist church, Franklin, Tex.,
nays:—"Grippe left me in very bad
He May Have Been, At That.
"I have henrd thut Mrs. Gallbird's lius-
hnnd is a literary man," said Miss Inna
Senttes.
"Gee, that gives me some snappy
news. Where did you hear It?" asked
her friend.
"Why, it must be true. I heard fiith-
er snv he was a bookmaker."
■shape—had indigestion, nervous head-
aches—could not sleep well. Tanlac
gave me a good appetite, strengthened
my nerves. I sleep well as ever have
gained five pounds."
Rev. A. L, Tull, Methodist, Atlanta,
Ga„ says:—"My granddaughter was a
nervous wreck from indigestion. Tan-
lac gave her an appetite—she can eat
anything. She Is on the road to re-
covery."
Rev. Jas. H. New, Baptist, Clarkston,
Ga„ says:—My wife had severe
cramps, headaches, and was very nerv-
ous, badly run down, weak and thin.
Tanlac caused her troubles to disap-
pear—she never complains now."
Rev. A. J. Vallery, former superin-
tendent Bethany Home, Monroe, La.,
now of Memphis, Tenn., says:—"Three
years ago I had a general breakdown
with indigestion—had rheumatic pains
In legs. Since taking Tanlac am re-
lieved of indigestion—rheumatic pains
have stopped—feel like a new man. 1
give Tanlac my unqualified indorse-
ment."
Rev. John M. Sims, Bnptist, At-
lanta, Ga„ says:—"I suffered from
nervous Indigestion nnd Inactive liver
—digestion badly impaired. Tanlac
corrected these troubles entirely—
gained ten pounds taking two bottles."
Rev. W. T. Roby, Pastor West Lons
dale Methodist church, Knoxvllle.
Tenn., testiiies from personal experi-
ence as to the great benefit he de-
rived from taking Tunlac for disor-
dered stomach.
No greater praise can be given n
remedy than the unsolicited testimony
of men whose lives are devoted to the
betterment of their fellow men. Their
Integrity cannot be doubted. They
ser*' their calling often at great per-
sonal sacrifice. Tanlac has helped
them—they say so because they want
to do you good.
There is a Tanlac dealer lu your
town.—Adv.
Just as Important.
It Is a fine thing to cultivate the va-
cant lots in the city, but vacant spots
in the country should not be over-
looked.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The Purchase of a Saxon
Insures Riding Satisfaction
Saxon cars are today generally recognized as
the best cars in tjieir price classes.
Their greater value has been definitely and
decisively established by their performance
records in the hands of thousands of owners in
all parts of the country.
The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned
one of the biggest successes in the automobile
industry. It owes its success to the policy of
building good cars and building them in quan-
tities. Its cars have won the respect of the
motor buying public.
Such absolute satisfaction as is represented in
the following testimonial is the big reason back
of Saxon success:
"I want to ny thut Saxon 'Six' is an automo-
bile that will do all the Saxon Motor Car Cor-
poration claims it will do — and more.
"We have driven our car many thousand
miles and can honestly say it is the easiest
riding car we ever rode in."
JOHN A. DIXON, Seneca. S. D.
Saxon Motor Car Corporation
Detroit, Michigan
There is still some good territory open for
Saxon dealers. For information you should

Paige Motor Car Company, Inc.
Oklahoma City, Okia.
Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, Inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty-
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so deslrp, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The glgnntlc number of men subject
to draft will not nil be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives nuthorlty to the president to
draft ns many men as he deems nec-
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the conscription
force of 1,0(10,<**I men.
2,001,000 Armed Men.
It is estimated by the war depart-
ment that as a result of the nuthorlty
conferred nnd the action to be taken
2,001,000 officers and men will coin-
prise the military establishment of the
United Stntes.
Under the new bill agreed to nuthor-
lty Is given to fill up by draft the reg-
ular army nnd the Natlonnl Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
1,000,000 men, 500,000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
army Is about 200,000 men. It Ins
now about 135,000 men and is short
about 155,000. The Nntionnl Gunrd
has a war strength of 025,000 men. It
has now about 125,000 nnd Is short
about 500,000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,000
men to fill up gaps In the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
500,000 as the first quota of the con-
script army of 1,000,000 men.
In the first draft It Is possible about
1,155,000 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call* out Immedi-
ately 500,000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.

Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for-
eign service has been eliminated.

To Drive Out Malaria
Philadelphia, Pa.—"One year ago I
was very sick and I Buffered with pains
fin my side and back
until I nearly went
crazy. I went to
diff erent doctors and
they all said I had
female trouble and
would not get any
relief until I would
be operated on. I
had suffered forfour
years before thii
time, but I kept get-
ting worse the more
medicine I took. Every month since I
was a young girl I had suffered with
cramps in my sides at periods and was
never regular. I saw your advertise-
ment in the newspaper and the picture
of a woman who had been saved from
an operation and this picture was im-
pressed on my mind. The doctor had
given me only two more days to make
up my mind so I sent my husband to the
drug store at once for a bottle of Lydia

Dry Clause Drastic
The prohibition provision is exceed-
ingly drastic. The president Is nu-
thorlzed to make regulations govern-
ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors
"In or near" mllltnry camps. Not
only enn liquor not be sold or sup
plied but It will be Illegal for any
person to have In bis possession nny
Intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
nny military stntlon, cantonment,
cntnp, fort, post or officers' or enlisted
men's club.
It will be unlawful for anyone to
sell Intoxicating liquor, Including
beer, to nny officer or member of the
military forces while In uniform.
Likewise, the social evil Is guarded
against through the suppression nnd
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for Immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author-
ized to cnll 11,000,000 men to the colors
Is expected to have a great moral ef-
fect In Germany. It Is quite true flint
the entire force he enn commandeer
nt this time will number two and a
quarter million. Hut even this num-
ber would constitute a re-enforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory if employed In
France.
Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
0,000,000 men. With the exception of a
couple of million these men are at
the front In France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans nnd Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first nnd nbove nil Is to
train the officers and men. When they

Quinine drives out malaria, the Iron

Lawyers Got It After All.
The Inseparable Slinpklnson broth-
ers of Los Angeles decided thnt they
would

other. One of them died recently and
the other took the check for the
amount of his estate to the bank. The
hank refused payment because the au-
thor of the check had died, nnd the
Inwyers got the money after all.

Army officers received notice of the

three machine-gun companies for
each Infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each In-
