“1 feel just like getting out tfiere in
the street now and outrunning any man;
in this town.' was the characteristic
statement made by J. B. Woodward, a,
well-known citizen if Lexington. Ky.. i
in telling his friends of the remarkably!
benefits he had derived from Tanlac.

weeks now and I am like a ntw man. ! ,
feel just brimful of new life and energ'.;
•nd my family and all of my friends can
see the difference in my condition.
"Before I began taking Tanlac I
could not raise my left hand to my head
•nd It had been that way for fully two
years. 1 suffered from stomach trouble.
• rheumatism anJ neuralgia, and no other |
medicine seemed to do me a particle of
<ood It certainty was a great day for |
' me when 1 heard of Tanlac and I take
great pleasure in recommending it.”
The above statement appeared In a re

10 GOT BONK'S FUNDS
Former Cashier at Douglas De
nies He Got Any Part of
$30,000 Shortage
t Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DOUGLAS. Ga., June 2.—Sheriff Davit!
Ricketson. of Coffee county, returned
from New York this morning with
Thomas R. Cox. who is charged with
embezzling over $30,000 from the Bank
of Willacooche and wrecking the bank.
About the first of May. Cox. who had
for some time been bookkeeper In ths
Bank of Willacooche, was laid off on ac
i count of the business not demanding his
services.
A few days after he left the hank,
authorities discovered irregularities and
closed the bank and telephoned for the
state bank examiner to come and take
1 charge, after which an audit of the
bank's affairs was made, which develop
ed a shortage of over $30,000 running
through a period of two years. The
bank’s books had various false entries
to cover up the shortage.
Cox disappeared and for some time his
whereabouts were unknown, until he
was located in New York about May 1.
It is understood Cox was located by
means of a letter written by him to a
young lady in Coffee county.
It is understood Cox denies emphatic
ally that he got any part of the $30,000
shortage, but knows who did get it and
will divulge the information at the
| proper time. When arrested Cox had
I no money on his person nor any avail
able that the sheriff could ascertain. It
is said that he will have a commitment
trial within the next few days, and at
this trial sensational developments are
expected and parties higher up in the
bank may be implicated.

In making the letter public late to
day the solicitor general gave out an
interview, in which he declared that he
didn't propose to be bluffed by any such
threats; that he proposed to do all in
his power to enforce the state prohibi
tion act, as he had been doing in the
; past. He said he believed the situation
: ir. both Girard and Columbus had im
i proved and that “we were on the road
ito prohibition in realty." He admits he
I went to Montgomery in the interest of
, prohibition.

POTTLE 15 ENCOURAGED
OH SUPPORT IN RAGE
Candidate for Governor Says
His Campaign Is Progress
ing Satisfactorily
Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledgeville, can
didate for governor of Georgia, was >n
Atlanta Saturday to visit his daughter,
Miss Mary Pottle, who is convalescing
from an iWness at Davis-Fischer sani
tarium.
Mr. Pottle stated that his campaign
for governor is proceeding satisfactori
ly in every detail, and that he feels
highly encouraged by the support he is
receiving.
Last Thursday Mr. Pottle attended
the annual meeting of the Georgia P.ar
association at Tybee island, and his
brethren of the bar .with practically
all of whom he is personally acquainted,
brethren of the bar, with practically
“But probably the most pleasing thing
of all to me in this campaign,” said
Mr Pottle, "is the enthusiastic support
1 am receiving from the people in the
counties adjacent to my home. The re
sponse they gave to my announcement
as a candidate for governor is a source
of the most grateful appreciation.
"And another very encouraging devel
opment in the campaign is the support
I have received from the traveling men
of the state. For thirteen and a half
years, during my incumbency in the of
fice of solicitor general of the Ocmulgee
circuit, I have become personally ac
quainted with practically all of the trav
eling men of the staate .and I take it as
a high compliment that these men, of,
high character and thorough knowledge:
of public affairs, are supporting me
with enthusiasm. No class of men in
Georgia are better posted on questions
affecting the welfare of the state? and
none tatke more active, wholesome and
beneficial interest in politics.”
Present War
Map Is German
Basis of Peace
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Jane 2.—“ The present war
map must form the basis of peace. Let
the statesmen of the entente powers
look at the facts as presented by this
map and thej? will know Germany’s
terms.”
Thus spoke Dr. von Bethmann-Holl
weg. the German imperial chancellor,
in the course j>f an interview witlj the
correspondent of the Berlin Neueste
Nachrichten during a visit to Munich,
says Reuter’s Amsterdam correspondent.
The chancellor's words, says the cor
respondent, have attracted the widest
attention. The Lokal Anzeiger, com
menting on the interview, says:
“We interpret the chancellor’s words
to mean that the trenches which the
central powers erected east and
west are an impenetrable wall of Ger
man soldiers which must be the fron
tiers of a peace treaty. In no war yet
has this been the case but a military
achievement which has been gained with
so much blood must form the* starting
point for any negotiations for peace."
Tax Bachelors
To Start a Fund
For New Triplets
I DALLAS, Tex., June 3.—Thelma. Vel
ma and Elmer Drinning, the new Dallas
triplets, have had a rosy path cleared
for them as though by the wand of a
fairy godmother.
Enough clothing has been furnished
by Dallas folk to care for them for
a long time and besides a bank account
has been started for each of them.
The triplets were born in a home
where comfort had been arranged for
only one. The mother has already had
I three small children.
The Dallas Dispatch started a cam-
1 paign for funds, food and clothing.
Twelve of Dallas' most prominent
bachelors were picked out and a tax
was levied on them.
The mother of the triplets is 28. She
, is the fifth wife of their father. Drin
ning is 53 and a blacksmith. Neigh-
I hors say he has been the father of 21
1 children. He counts haltingly on his
lingers and finally acknowledges 15.
Only Desire of
Pope Is to Stop
Europe’s Suicide
(By Associated Pre**.)
ROME, June 2.—‘(Via Paris.)—Car
; dinal Gasparri, papai secretary of state,
in an interview todav with a representa
tive of the Associated Press, declared
the pope was influenced in his peace ef
forts solely by a desire to stop the "sui
j cide of Europe.”
“The holy father." said the cardinal, j
"in his most ardent desire for peace has '
no particular interest in view despite;
I what newspapers that are enemies of
i the papacy state to the contrary. If,
peace is concluded through the friendly j
intervention of the president of the
i great American republic or through his
Catholic majesty, the king of Spain, his
holiness will equally thank the Almighty
I that an end should at last have been put
I to the butchery which is the suicide of
j Europe.”
Davis’ Memory
Is Honored by
Congressmen
IBy Associated Pre**.)
WASHINGTON. June 4.—Jefferson •
Davis* memory was honored in the house
yesterday by speeches of tribute deliver- I
' ed by Representatives Aswell, of Louis- ,
i iana. and Kincheloe, of entucky. Ths
I I <JSIh birthday anniversary of the presi
l dent of the Confederacy was the occa
sion for the speeches.
“The north and south," said Dr. As-1
well, "join hands in honoring the mem
ory of two men, loved, honored and
idolized, Lincoln, great in victory, Davis,
no less great in defeat.”
Queen of England

owns probably the oldest bird in Europe,
an African gray parrot that formerly
belonged to Georgia 111. Extraordinary
to relate, after all this great lapse of
time, the bird still reproduces his old
old master’s voice, and in the dead king's
tones repeats his famous exclamation
of "Wbat! what!"

TENTH INSTALLMENT.
June started from Mary's arms and I
uttered a little agonized cry. Sam look
ed around. Down the beach he saw the
i approaching figures of Mrs. Travis and
I Tama. He caught his cue.
i “Oh, maybe ma would like to know
| the glad news!” he sneered. "Well, here
goes.”
I “Stop!” June caught at his dirty
• wrinkled coat sleeves. “Hide! hide
■quickly, before they see you! Tonight
■ I'll leave a basket of food for you at
j the corner of our garage—you know the
• place! Now, hide.”
Sam cast a last threatening look at
the two figures in the distance, then
j dodged deftly behind a convenient
1 bowlder.
June swayed toward Mary. Her young
j face looked haggard and almost old. Her
I hands' groped vaguely for support. Mary
saw .the Red Circle gleaming like ring
of fire in the bright sun. She covered
lit with her own trembling hand and
I shook the girl slightly.
"Your mother is coming, lamb.” she
warned. "She mustn't know—she musn't
suspect. Pull yourself together. And
keep your hand hidden.”
June nodded wearily.
"I will,” she said. “She won’t know.
I won’t let her know.”
“Have you found any trace of it?”
Mrs. Travis called to her a minute later.
"Not a trace. Mary and I have looked
all over this part of the beach.”
"And Yama and T searched thoroughly
as far down as that old wreck. It’s the
most annoying thing.”
“And mysterious, mumsle. Let’s yon
and I write it up. Nobody would be
lieve it."
“Usually, T don't care to have lunch
on the beach,” continued Mrs. Travis,
’gnoring the jesting tone. "I always
detest the thoughts of sand getting into
the food. But today, somehow, I just
felt like picnicking. Yama. gather up
the things and take them to the house.”
"Oh, dear, and I’m famished. And it
will take an age to get up a lunch
now," complained June, slipping her left
arm around Mrs. Travis' waist. “Well,
I’ve got the remains of that fudge I
made yesterday, in my room. I guess
I’ll fill up on that.”
“You wont do anything of the kind.”
Mrs. Travis forbade firmly. "I don't
want you to touch a piece of it before
luncheon. I don't like the way you look
at all here lately. Ever since Mr. Lamar
started sending you those huge boxes of
macrons. glaces you haven't an appetite
for decent food. I'm going to have cook
fix a good tomato bisque, for lunch. It’s
a quick dish and nutritious.”
"Nutritious!” June emphasized her
scorn. "Nbbody wants to eat nutritious
food, mother, dear—not even the in
fants who have it fed to them tn bot
tles. I’ll bet if they had their choice
they’d take a lobster NeWburg any day
in preference to delicious malted milk."
“I won’t allow her to touch the fudge,
Mrs. Travis,” promised Mary, as she
led the girl upstairs.
Once inside June's room they drooped
pretense. Weak from nervous exhaus
tion, Mary sank into a deep chair and
leaned her head on her hand. June
watched her shoulders droop. Her whole
attitude typified despair. The girl
stretched out her arms in loving pity.
Then she knelt beside the chair, in the
old familiar position.
"You ought to hate me,, dear?” she
said at last: "Your life is a misery to
ycu tiojv. But you must know that I
wouldn’t cause you sorrow or worry, if
I could nelp It—don’t you know it,
Mary? When these spells come on, I—”
"There, there,” interrupted the old
woman, drawing her into the circle of
her arms. "Hate you? 1 love you bet
ter than anything in this wide world.
And I’m going to stay by and shield you
as long as there’s life in me. Now, we
won't say any more about that—ever.
hat we’ve got to think of now is this
latest danger. We have to get away
from Surfton, dear—right away. We
have to leave to avoid this man. He's
—he’s horrible!”
“No, I don’t. I think he’s afraid to
come near the police for any reason. I
think that as long as he can frighten
you into protecting and feeding him
he'll do it. If you’re not here, he can’t
—that's all.”
“But how are we to get away?"
"Tell youi mother you want to go
back to the city.”
“She won't go, I know,” objected June.
"She likes it here at Surfton. She
thinks it's restful and she's dreadfully
tired after the season in town.”
“You’ve got to make her go.”
“How can I?”
"She spoke just now of your not
looking well. Tell her the place is get
ting on your nerves. Say that you
know you’d feel better if you could go
back to the city, if it’s only for a little
while. Go ask her now,” urged Mary.
"If you wait —’’
She stopped and looked down at the
white hands lying across her knees.
The Red Circle had vanished.
"If you wait,” shtf went on, excited
ly, “you’ll change your mind and stay
HELP FOR
WORKINGWOMEN
Some Have to Keep on Until
They Almost Drop. How
Mrs. Conley Got Help.
Here is a letter from a woman who
had to work, but was too weak and suf- ;
sered too much to continue. How she
regained health: —
Frankfort, Ky. —“I suffered so much
with female weakness that I could not
do my own work, ;
had to hire it done.
I heard so much
about Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable
Compound that I
triedit. I took three
bottles and I found
it to be all you
claim. Now I feel as
well as ever I did and
am able to do all my
own work again. I
IIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIII
■; I jr /
ill]l
recommend it to any woman suffering
from female weakness. You may pub
lish my letter if you wish. ’’—Mrs. James
Conley,sl6 St. Clair St.,Frankfort,Ky.
No woman suffering from any form of
female troubles should lose hope until
she has given Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound a fair trial.
This famous remedy, the medicinal
ingredients of which are derived from
native roots and herbs, has for forty
years proved to be a most valuable tonic
and invigorator of the female organism.
All women are invited to writ©
to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co., Lynn, Mass., for special
advice,—it will be confidentiaL
) here to brave it out. Go, dear.”
Urged so eagerly, June got to her
I feet.
“I don’t think it will work, but I'll
try,’* she said meekly.
Her courage ebbed even further when
she entered the library a moment later
and saw the expression of impatience on
her mother’s usually smooth brow. Ev
idently the irritation of the stolen lunch
had not worn off.
June went up to her chair and put
her arms over her mother's shoulders.
Mrs. Travis looked up. The touch was
not that of impetuous June at all. It
was unnaturally meek and gentle. A
look at the wan face alarmed her.
"What is it—what it is, darling?” she
asked hurriedly. “Do you feel ill?”
June nodded.
“Yes,’’ she said, shuddering slightly
as the thought of “Smiling Sam” came
back to her. “I feel ill. Mother, I want
to go home —to the city—l mean. I want
to go tonight, mother.”
“Tonight!” Mrs. Travis smiled. “How
ridiculous, June! In the first place, if
you are ill. Surfton is just the place for
you. You have the sea at your door and
an opportunity to be in the air all day
long. And you haven't your swarms
of friends running in to drag you here,
there and everywhere, every minute of
the day and night. In the second place,
if 1 thought of leaving, it wouldn't be
for several weeks.”
“Mum-sle. please listen. I—”
“Don’t’ say any more about it, dear,
because my mind is quite made up.”
"But I—”
"Pardon. The luncheon is served,”
Yama, primly, from the door. "Will mad
am be pleased to have a wine?”
“No wine, Yama," Mrs. Travis got
up from her chair and spoKe abruptly.
“Tell Mary luncheon is served.”
June followed her mother into the
dining room, still pleading They took
their places just as Mary came into the
room followed Yama. The old nurse
looked anxiously at the girl’s face and
knew thu-s far she had been unsuccess
ful.
“Take your soup, June,” her mother
bade her briefly; “you’re unusually rest
less and persistent today. I don’t know
what’s the matter wtih yo”
"And I don’t know what’s the matter
with myself,” the girl burst out pas
sionately. "I can’t sleep. I think I’m
hungry, and when I see food I can’t eat
I—”
"Why, June!” Mrs Travis was plainly
disturbed. "I never heard you carry on
like this.”
* “I don’t think she's well, Mrs Travis,”
Mary interrupted nervously.
“That’s the reasop I want to go home.
W’on’t you please take me, mother?”
June had worked herself up to the
verge of nervous hysteria. Mrs. Travis
saw with alarm, that she was under
some great mental strain.
“But I think' you will get well so
much quickly down here, dear.”
Her determination was weaktning.
June felt it. It gave her new courage.
“So many queer things have happened
since we’ve been here,” Mary put in
quickly. “The child's nerves have been
upset for several days. She didn’t want
to worry you, so she hasn’t said any
thing about it. But I've known, and it
has scared me.”
"Do you think it’s as good for her in
the city as it is here?” Mrs. Travis
asked, in surprise.
“I think the best place for her, just
now is the place she wants to be,” said
Mary quickly.
“All right. If you think it's advisable,
we’ll try It, although it’s very much
against my will.”
"And we can go this evening?*’ June
asked eagerly.
“Yes,” answ/red Mrs. Travis with
some reluctance.
The girl jumped up from her chair
and hugged her rapturously.
“Oh, I'm so glad Thank you so much,
mother, dear. You'll see how quickly I
get well in the city. Come on, Mary,
don’t eat another bite of that pudding
—it’s indigestible and It will make you
fat! Come upstairs and help me get out
my things. Mother, when they take the
trunks up from the storeroom., will you
have Yama bring my wardrobe trunk
and the large one with trays right up to
my room?”
Without waiting for an answer, June
pulled protesting Mary upstairs. Mrs.
Travis looked after them, perplexed.
Then she rang for Yama and gave him
his orders. Just for an instant the lit
tle Jap allowed a human expression to
creep into his gaunt, burnished features.
It might have been interpreted as in
tense surprise. But it was too fleeting
to make certain.
Upstairs, June was throwing armfuls
of fluffy petticoats and dance frocks
from the depths of a clothes closet,
faster than Mary could pile them up on
the bed.
“Don’t mind how you fold them,” she
called, her voice muffled by a quantity
of garments still hanging on the hooks.
"The few hours they’ll be in the trunks
won’t matter. You always pack as
though you're going around the world.
No one would catch me doing it.”
There was a subdued knock at the
door. Mary opened it. Yama stood in
the hall. He had the two trunks on a
small hand truck.
‘Put them anywhere,” June sang out,
“and open them.”
Almost immediately she bounded out |
into the room and started throwing
shoes, tennis rackets and boat cushions
i into the bottom of the larger of the
two trunks. Mary seized her uplifted
hands in horror.
“You go out of this room while I
pack!” she commanded. The way you
i throw good clothes about is scandalous.
Do go down like a good child, now, and
take a rest in the hammock. It’ll do
you good, dear.”
June's face clouded suddenly. She
I came close to Mary and spoke in a whis-
I per.
“We will have dinner early tonight
i and we start for the city in the car
i right after. We have to manage to get
that basket of food to Sam, Mary. I’m
afraid not to. Afraid!”
"Oh, I'll arrange that all right,”
soothed the old nurse. “I'll have the
basket fixed long before. Then right
after we’ve finished dinner you and I
can ship out on some pretext or other
and put it at the side of the garage.
It'll be all right, dear. Now run on.”
At 7 o'clock that evening a bulky,
i crouching figure slid along in the
of the hedge Travis
: grounds. It made for a small gate,
'looked cautiously to the left and right,
I then darted through toward the rear of
' the garage.
A huge touring car, rolled halfway
through the open doorway, reflected the
light of a low moon from its highly
polished hood.
The man sneaked around in the shad
ows, saw and dodged back, fearful lest
there might be someone in it. As soon
as he was reassured he ventured a lit
tle beyond the black line, into the light
and started to hunt for something.
After a moment a violent volley of
oaths swirled from his lips and he
dropped to his knees groping with wild
hands in the shrubbery. A screen door
slammed shut up at the house. The
man jumped to hls feet and darted back
to his hiding place.
He peered around the corner of the
garage aryl grinned mockingly as he
saw Mary' and June steal down the
steps of the little back porch and nun
down the driveway in his direction.

Mary carried a basket on her arm. They
both looked around nervously, at every
step.
Sam crept along the outside cf the
garage, keeping well within the shadow.
The fierce hunger that gnawed jvithin
him almost overcome his caution. As
the two women drew near he darted to
ward them, snatched the basket from
Mary’s arm. and plunged an eager, dirty
hand into it.
The sandwich that he dug out was
half consumed before he uttered a syl
lable.
“Thought you were going to sting
me,” v he said thickly at last, his mouth
overful.
“Go out of the grounds and eat it,
please!” begged June. "Someone may
come at any minute."
June tried to force him around the
garage. He removed his third sanweysh
from his mouth long enough to expostu
late.
"Say, quit pushing me!” he grumbled
indignantly. "There ain’t a soul here. I
don’t see what you’re getting all fussed
up about.”
“I tell you, someone may come any
minute.”
Many looked toward the house. A
shadow crossed a lighted window. She
added her entreaties to June’s.
“If you expect to be fed and protect
ed you'll have to do as we say.”
For just the fraction of a second Sam
stopped eating.
“Say, you people talk like you were
doing me a favor!” he observed in heavy
sarcasm, "when all the time it’s me
that's keeping "Circle Jim’s daughter
from a little uniform and a tin cup!"
“Oh, hush, hush!” June's voice was
shrill with terror. ‘All I ask you to
do is to leave the grounds. Nov' will
jou go, or won't you?”
“Oh, well, when you're decent about
it, like that, I suppose I’ll go,” and
"Smiling Sam” allowed himself to be
urged around the garage into the dark

a well-known specialist, who has studied widely
both in this country and Europe, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real am' true strength can only
come from the food yon oat. Rut people often
fail to get the strength out of their food be
cause they haven't enough Iron in their blood to
enable it to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they know
something is wrong but they can't tell what, serf
they generally commence doctoring for stomach,
liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some
other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the
blood. This thing may go on for years, while
the patient suffers untold agony. If you are
not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to
make the following test: See how long you
can work or how far you can walk without be
coming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets
of ordinary nuxated iron three times
per day after meals for two weeto. Then test
your strength again and see for yourself bow

PARIS, June 2.—A squadron of
French aeroplanes, pursuing German
machines which had just bombarded

The raid referred to probably is the

by German bombs. The French statej

fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the
pro;<er form. Am' this after they had in some
cases been doctoring for months without ob
taining any benefit. But don't take the old
forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture
of Iron simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron In a form that can be easily ab
sorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if yon
want it to do you any good, otherwise it may
prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or
prize-fighter has* won the day simply because
he knew the secret of great strength and en
durance and filled bis blood with iron before
he went into the affraj, while many another
has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for
the lack of iron.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by
Dr. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secget
remedy, but one which is well known to drug
gists and whose iron constituents is widely pre
scribed by eminent physicians everywhere. Un
like the older inorganic iron products, it is
easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stomach; on
the contrary, it Is a most potent remedy, in
nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for
nervous, rundown conditions. The Manufactur
ers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron
that they offer to forfeit $10».00 to any charit
able institution if they cannot take any man
or woman under «•> who lacks iron and increase
their strength 2uo per cent or over in fbur
weeks' time provided they have no serious or
ganic trouble. They also offer to refund your
money if it does not at least double your strength
and endurance in ten days’ time. It is dispensed
by all good druggists.—(Advt.)
