I suffered with indi gestion al 1^ the time and would have nervous chills and get so weak I could hardly stand up. “I had no appetite and siiffered-almost constantly with dizzy headaches. My food seemed to do me harm instead of good and I fell off until weighed only . ninety-nine pounds. I suffered almost be yond endurance and was confined to my bed off and on for four and five weeks - at a time and. with all the medicines 1 tried, I kept going down hill. “Yes, sir. the day 1 took my first dose of Thnlac I just weighed ninety-nine pounds and felt so wretched I was al most in despair. But there has been a wonderful change in my condition since then and I am almost grateful for what Tanlac has done for me. It was just what I needed-and I began to feel better almost as soon‘as I began taking it. “I didn't get well all at once but I gradually improved as I took Tanlac every day. After taking six bottles I found that I was twelve pounds heav ier. and although I felt strong and well. I kept on taking it for I wanted to make sure my troubles were entirely overcome- I have now taken twelve bottles of Tan lac and weigh 125 pounds—have actually gained twenty-six jlounds—and I have never felt better in all my life, and I believe my health is better in every wa Y . than it has ever been.

BIG CROWD SEES HUMAN FLY SHIN UP SKYSCRAPER Harry Gardiner Climbs Fourth National Bank Building in Presence of Thousands De spite Rain-Soaked Bricks Harry Gardiner, the Human Fly, climbed the Fourth National Bank building Tuesday afternoon in the pres ence of a crowd several thousand strong that packed Five Points from sidewalk to sidewalk. He began climbing at 12:30 o'clock the Scheduled time, crawling up the .sheer Marietta street side foot by foot. 3-t five minutes to 1 o'clock he lifted himself over the edge of the roof. Then, as much out of sheer bravado as anything else, he scuttered up the liagpole on top of the building lixe a monkey up a ship’s mast and hung at the peak for a moment weaving his hand to the crowd below, which roared its approval. Fifteen minutes before the hour scheduled for the Fly’s feat, hundreds of people dribbled toward the building. By 12:30 the crowd was thick, a mass that completely choked Five Points, ex tended half a block up Marietta street, nearly a block down Decatur street and Edgewood avenue and as far up Peach tree as Auburn avenue.- where the spec tators had a* full front view of the side of the building and Gardiner, a white midget, on its side. ELECTION NIGHT CROWD. The crowd was as conglomerate as any election night mob. There were hun dreds of women, many children. From office-bnlldings on every hand and from the windows of the Fourth National bank building itself, heads craned out. As cars and automobiles jangled their way through the crush, passengers swarm'ed to one side of tne car and only the moterman kept his eyes ahead. It had been raining all night and well into the morning, so that the steep side of the building looked wet and sinister. “He won’t try it. too wet," the whis per ran through the crowd, but Gardiner never flinched. Promptly on the minute he wrapped his feet around the first layer of bricks and began to shunt upward like a trig ger up a sapling after a 'possum in the topmost branch. . He climbed by the columns between the windows, digging his fingers seem ingly into the solid brick, but in reality grasping the thin, narrow space that succeeded each other at regular inter vals. At every floor he swung himself into the mouth of the window and stopped to breathe a moment and wave his hand to the crowd. From the first cornice, thirty feet from the ground, there is an * unvaried stretch of columns and windows, to an other, about thirty feet short of the roof. It was evident that It would be comparatively simple work for Gardiner to make that Intervening distance. The tug would come at the end of the climb, when he must hunch himself over the second cornice, skin up another column ; and by apparently impossible craft, wig gle under and over the roof that pro | jected far out over the building. But though the crowd did not doubt the fly's ability, there was a silent, tense strain on all as they watched tilm. A glance at the crowd showed a field of up lifted faces, turned toward the lowering sky. as if they waited for the gray to break and a bolt shoot down from the ' blue. . But in reality ever}’ P*<r of eyes was on the Fly, shinning and struggling and looping himself Into window after window. •. \ HE SLIPS.' Once he slipped —feet'shot out from under him, swinging back and forth like a pendulum—and a woman choked a scream. * ' Gardiner turned and grinned at the field* of faces. ‘Til bet he did it on purpose!” ex claimed the woman peevishly; then caught her breath as the Fly worked himself up another notch. At the cornices Gardiner propped him self on his elbows and his hands clench ed across the stone, until, swinging back and forth as a vaulter might on the parallel bars, he could throw his legs up and over the cornice. This was spectacular enough when Gardiner did it on the first cornice, but at the second. Tiigh above the street, it-was well nigh sickening. part of Gardiner’s climb —judging from the time he spent over it —nearly five whole minutes!—was the space between the last cornice and the I root. He tried column after column, and when he finally fixed upon one, fumbled for a long time about it before he finally chinned the roof, placed one leg over the edge and scrambled to safety. From the crowd went up a roar. Gardiner waved his hands and shouted a shrill message that was carried away in the great distance. Then —as the big throng went their ways, exclaiming and marveling, the Human Fly ran up the flag pole, ran down again, and the show was over. House Screams When Howard Floors Moore In ‘Leak’ Probe Debate BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 17.—Con gressman William . Schley Howard brought the house to its feet in an up roar of laughter and applause today. The house had under consideration the reso lution authorising the rules committee to employ counsel to prosecute the I *‘leak” investigation. Mr. Howard arose ;to protest against the employment of Samuel Untermeyer. Representative . foore, of Pennsylvania, interrupting. » -sked. “What do you think of Charles » 12 Hughes?" •'Well,” said Mr. Howard, pausing and ’ 'linking for a moment, “my mother al ways taught me to speak respectfully of ( H dead.” [Such an uproar of laughter from the galleries and the house greeted this re ; tort that Mr. Howard could not proceed for several minutes. The Republicans did not again suggest Mr. Hughes as i the prosecutor in the “leak” investiga i tion. Trial of Mrs. Adams Deferred Until April (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Jan. 16. —The trial of Mrs. Mattie Adams, charged with the murder of Captain F. J. Bpratling, will not be held until the April term of the Bibb superior court. W. D. McNeil. Mrs. Adams’ attorney, was not ready to go into the trial this week, and So licitor General Ross did not insist, as it would have been necessary to bring several soldiers from the Mexican bor j der as witnesses. Mrs. Adams remains i in the Bibb county jail with her baby and te apparently tn the best oC health. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL* ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1917. JUDGE ANDREW J, COBB TOES OATH OF OFFICE Many Friends See Jurist Sworn as Judge of the West ern Circuit Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens, a former justice of the state supreme court and one of the distinguished law yers of the state, took the oath of ofiice as judge of the western circuit of the superior court-in the ofiice of Governor Harris Wednesday morning. The ceremony was made impressive by the presence of a number of Judge Cobb’s fellow townsmen and state house officials, the former having come frpm Athens to see Judge Cobb take the oath and to congratulate Governor Harris upon his appointment. Judge Charles H. Brand, who was re cently elected to congress in the eighth district to succeed the late Congressman S. J.'Tribble, tendered his resignation as ju<fge of the western circuit, and the governnor accepted it, to become effect ive next Sunday night, January 21, at* 12 o’clock. Judge Cobb then stood in front of the governor’s desk with his right hand up lifted while the governor read the sol emn oath of a judge, in which he swears upon his sacred honor to administer im partial justice among the rich and poor alike. After Judge Cobb had signed the oath Governor Harris congratulated him on his acceptance of the office and congratulat ed the state upon securing his distin guished services. Judge Cobb's com mission was then presented to him by John B. Gamble, of Athens, a promi nent lawyer and former solicitor general of the western' circuit. In presenting the commission Mr. Gamble said: “Yonr excellency, in permitting Tne to convey and present this commission to Georgia's purest son, truest noble man, most gifted scholar and jurist, you have conferred upon me an honor which I deeply and keenly appreciate. ‘‘ln selecting Judge Andrew J. Cobb to preside over the courts of the west ern circuit you have elevated the ju diciary and crowned your administra tion with glory and honor. “To the man of men, the lawyer with out a fault, the judge clear in thought and just in decision, my esteemed friend Judge Andrew J. Cobb, I present you this commission as judge of the su perior court of the western circuit knowing that you once again have re sponded to duty’s call and that Georgia for the second time will be honored by your self-sacrificing service.” Mr. Gamble then shook hands with Judge Cobb and was followed by Judge Brand, who declared that Governor Har ris had made an appointment which met with the hearty approval of every man and woman and child in the western circuit. Among the other citizens of Athens who were, present were Howell C. Erwin, the nephew and law partner of Judge Cobb, and Judge George C. Thomas. Judge Samuel H. Sibley, of Union Point, was also present, and L. M. Brand, of Lawrenceville, the brother of Judge Brand. Justices Atkinson, Hill and Gilbert of the mate supreme court, were in the governor’s office, as were also Logan Bleckley, clerk of the supreme court, and Captain Goodloe H. Yancey, of the state prison commission. EPILEPSY MASTERED? T-minent. physician Said to Have Found a Permanent Cure. NEW V)RK, Jan. 18. —Advices from abroad state that the eminent Dr. G. H.

I Governor-elect Hugh M, Dor sey’s Platform -Declaration Causes Much Speculation Tuesday The fact that prohibition leaders were endeavoring to get Governor Harris to call an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of amending the prohi bition laws of Georgia so as to take ad vantage of the recent decision of the United States supreme court upholding the Webb-Kenyon law brought up an in teresting .discussion ip political circles Tuesday. • Some politicians take the position that the movement to get Governor Harris to call an extra session of the old legislature tp enact “dry bone” leg islation had been inaugurated because of the well known platform declaration of. Governor-elect Hugh M. Dorsey that he would not approve, as governoK, any change in the present prohibition laws except where such change had first been indorsed by the people. MIL DORSEYS PLATFORM. A reference to Mr. Dorsey’s platform, as enunciated by him in the newspapers on June 18, 1916, shows the following plank on prohibition; “I favor, and if elected governor shall enforce in letter and spirit, to the full limit of the powers vested in that office, the laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxi cants in this state. I shall oppose constantly any change or modifica tion of the present laws unless such change or modification first has b.een declared to be the expressed will of the white voters of Georgia.” Political dopesters construe this de claration to mean that there will be no “dry” legislation enacted at the ap proaching session of the new legisla ture. Further the opinion is expressed that should the 1917 legislature go so far as to pass an amendment prohibit ing shipments of liquor*into the state of Georgia Governor-elect Dorsey would probably veto it Arguing along this line, it was speculated.th.at the only hope, therefore, for making Georgia’s prohibi tion law more drastic in the near future lay in the possibility of Governor Harris calling an extra session of the old leg islature before his term as governor ex pires. The suggestion that Governor Harris call an extra session has been submitted to him by sev eral prohibition advocates. At first he was not inclined to give the matter serious thought, in view of the fact that the regular session of the legis lature will convene in June, but Sen ator Ogden Persons, president of the state senate, called on the governor at the mansion Monday night and pre sented arguments which impressed him very much., The governor said Tuesday that Sen ator Persons had presented to him “a very strong array of arguments.” Con tinuing, he saicj; ,“I was very much impressed by the senator’s arguments, and I will admit that I am interested. The particularly forceful thing to me is that it would be proper to give the 1915-16 legislature, which enacted the present laws, an opportunity to com plete their work by enacting laws in pursuance of the United States supreme court’s decision upholding the Webb- Kenyon act.” Under this decision, a state legisla ture has the authority, without inter fering with interstate commerce, Jo prohibit the importation of any whis key, wine or beer whatsoever into the borders of a dry state. The power of a state to go this far was very much in doubt before the United States supreme court made its decision, and because of this doubt the Georgia legislature did not attempt ab solute prohibition of the shipment of intoxicants into the state, but limited shipments to two quarts of whisky, or four quarts of wine, or forty-eight pints of beer to one individual during a ’period of thirty days. In submitting the suggestion of an extra session to the governor, Senator Persons made the following arguments: That the 1915-16 legislature would have prohibited shipments of intoxi cants into the state if its authority had been clear; that it should now be given an opportunity, in the light of the su preme court's decision, to complete its work; that the temper of the next leg islature is still uncertain; that the cost of an extra session of ten days would not be more than $20,000, while the ex penditures of the state for imported in toxicants already run to $7,000,000 a year. Bibb Delegation Opposed To Extra Prohi Session MACON, Ga., Jan. 16.—A1l three of Bibbs’ representatives are opposed to an extra session of the legislature at this time to pass any new prohibition bilk Ben J. Fowler says an extra session would be a needless expense. H. L. Barfield says he is in favor of making the law more drastic, but thinks the regular session in June will do that. Joe Hill Hall declares the idea of an extra session to be an absurd one, as the general assembly in June can make any change should any be necessary. • Medical Student Held For Robbery of Train Says He Is Grady Webb (Bv Associated Press.) KANSAS CITY. Jan. 17. —Officers of the postoffice department today arrested a student of a local medical school in connection iwth the theft of SIOO,OOO in unsigned currency from a Baltimore and Ohio train near Dodridge, W. Va., October 8, 1914. The announcement was made that a part of the currency was recovered. It was being shipped from the treasury department to western banks. Officers said the man arrested, al though known here under the name of White, had declared himself to be H. Grady Webb,, for whom they had been searching following the arrests in various cities of three other men in connection with the crime. The man’s age was given as thirty-three years, al though, as a student at the medical col lege, he “looked to be only twenty five.” The amount of the currency recovered was placed at less than SI,OOO, the offi cers saying that it was found in his possession. Another medical student had given them information concern? ing the man, they declared. Information here in regard to the robbery was that four men forced the train crew to run the engine and mail car several miles from the remainder at Jhe train. Then the registered A Great Responsibility. ’T'HE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children * is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher’s Castoria.

That estimate of the year’s gross value of farm crops and animal products, announced today by the department of agriculture, ex ceeds by $2,674,000,000 the total of 1915, the previous record, and by more than 3 1-2 billion dollars the value in 1914. Crop production for the year was com paratively low and did not reach record figures, except in a few minor instances, but high prices sent total values up. Crops were valued at $9,111,000,000 and animal products at $4,338,000,000. The crop value exceeded that of 1915 by $2,204,000,000 and of 1914 by $2,299,000,- 000. Crops alone in 1916 were worth more than crops and animal products combined in any year prior to 1912. Four crops in each exceeded a billion dollars in value. The corn out put is put at $2,296,000,000; cotton, sl,- 406.000,000; hay, $1,162,000,000; wheat, $1,296,000,000. Other erbps that ex ceeded one hundred million dollars were oats, $656,000,000; potatoes, $417,000,- 000; wool-lot products, $221,000,000; ap ples $186,000,000; tobacco, $169,000,000; barley, $160,000,000. The level of prices paid to producers for the principal crops on December 1, 1916, was about 55.9 per cent higher than a year previous, 52.9 per cent high er than two years before, and 52.8 per cent higher than the average of the pre vious eight years on December 1. irritation, sediment, etc. Lack of control, smarting, uric acid, dizziness, indigestion, sleeplessness, nervousness, sometimes the heart acts badly, rheumatism, bloating, lack of am bition, may be loss of flesh, sallow com plexion.
