Tanlac Has Straightened
Him Out and He Gained 22
Pounds Taking It
•‘I have gained twenty-two pounds
by taking Tanlac and never felt bet.-

House, for several years an engineer
for the Seaboard Air Line railroad
at Howell yards, and whose address
is R. F. D. No. 5, Box 145, Atlanta,
Georgia.
“My appetite failed.” he continued,
“and I got so 1 couldn't eat any
breakfast at all. A few bites of
anything would nauseate me and I
would feel puffed up and have awful
pains in the pit of my stomach. What
little I did eat failed to nourish me
and I lost weight and strength fight
along and it was an actual strain for
me to handle my engine. I was going
down hill so steadily that I knew
if I didn’t get something to fix me
up I would have to lay off from
work entirely.
“One of my friends advised me to
take Tanlac and I actually gained
twenty-two pounds in less than a
month. I have a big appetite now,
can eat anything I want and don't
have, any more of that puffed up
feeling or pain in my stomach. Tan
lac certainly has kept me on my

me not to tell others about how
much it has. helped me.”

SENATE RESOLUTION
URGES BH WITH
MEXICANSAT ONCE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. —A resolu
tion requesting President Wilson to
sever diplomatic relations with Mexi
co was introduced today by Senator
Fall, Republican, New Mexico, chair
man of the senate committee charged
with an investigation of the Mexican
situation.
Explaining his resolution, which
also asked that the president with
draw recognition of Carranza, Sen
ator Fall declared it was based on
evidence which would “astound the
world,” when produced.
Senator Fall’s resolution also
would put congress on record as
backing up the state department’s
action in the Jenkins case.
Senator Fall’s resolution was re
ferred to the foreign relations com
mittee.
Chairman Lodge, of the senate for
eign relations committee, late today
called a spccjal committee meeting
for tomorrow to take action on the
Fall resolution and any other ques
tion arising from the Mexican situ
ation.
“I charge that' the Mexican em
bassy in Washington, the Mexican
consul generals in New York and
San Francisco and consuls along
the border are .constantly stirring
up revolution and Bolshevik! ideas.”
Senator Fall declared. “Carranza is
behind this propaganda.”
Senator Fall’s determination to in
troduce the resolution today was
reached after a conference with Hen
ry P. Fletcher. American ambassador
to Mexico, a few minutes before the
senate convened. Before that he had
conferred with the chief of the Mex
ican division of the state department
concerning the latest information
from Mexico. The state department
has opened its records without reser
vation to the senate foreign rela
tions committee and the sub-commit
tee which has been investigating the
Mexican situation and the state de
partment are understood to be in
thorough accord.
The Jenkins case is given a rela
tively unimportant place in the Mex
ican situation by the resolution. Th'at
the Mexican government deliberately
is spreading Bolshevist propaganda
in the United State and is using for
that purpose its diplomatic and con
sular agents, is regarded by both
the committee and the state depart
ment of greater importance.
JUAREZ, Mexico, - Dec. 3.—-Fran
cisco Villa has been captured by a
force of his own men and is being
held for a reward from the Mexican
government, according to advices re
ceived here late today by Superin
tendent Caballero, of the Chihuahua
division of the National Railways of
Mexico. •
Two Villa rebels are reported to
have presented themselves at the
federal headquarters at Parral and
notified the commander there that
Villa bad been captured and was be
ing held for surrender to the Car
ranza forces. The state of Chihuahua
already has offered fifty thousand
pesos as reward.
Electric Light Kills
Short-Hour Day for Hens
A. L. Lewis, who operates a poul
try farm at Hope, Ind., in protesting
against the proposed action of Pulse
& Porter, who operate the electric
light system a Hope, to abandon
that plant, has set up a novel point
as to why he ?s not in favor of the
discontinuance of service.
He told a public utilities commis
sion examiner that he has spent $lO.-
000 in fitting up equipment for the
farm and that he hatches 18,000
eggs at one time.
He allows his hens but six hours'
sleep, stating that he keeps the
lights burning steadily until 10 p.
m.. when the lights gradually are
dimmed into total darkness. The
hens go to sleep.
At 4 a. m. the lights are turned on
gradually until the glare of the
lights wakes the hens. The produc
tion of eggs thus is stimulated by
fooling the hens into the belief that
another day has dawned.
The claim was set up that the
poultry farm business would be
ruined if the lighting system is
abandoned. The case will be pre
sented to the slate commission for
action.
At 104 Years, Aged Negro
Gan Still Hunt Partridge
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—One hun
dred and four years old and still ac
tive enough to roam the woods with
a shotgun and quick enough of eye
to drop the quail is the record of a
Washington county negro who has
applied for hunting license.
Probate Judge Turner granted the
license to the negro and wrbte the
story to John H. Wallace, Commis
sioner of Conservation, in asking
that more blanks be sent him imme
diately.
The hunting season in Alabama
has been unusually good this year,
and changes in the game laws en
acted by the recent legislature have
made the demand for hunting
licenses heavier than usual. The
commissioner has been flooded with
requests for more blanks from all
sections of the state.
Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.
Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder trou
ble and never suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the
other organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and maybe despondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, by restor
ing health to the kidneys, proved
to be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney. liver and bladder medicine will
do for them. By inclosing ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, DEi'EBER ICJC.
PRESIDENT PUTS
VITAL QUESTIONS
UP TO CONGRESS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1019, for The Atlanta Journal. I
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—President
Wilson has put squarely up to con
gress the necessity of enacting laws
that will not merely provide tribunals
for the arbitration and settlement
of labor disputes but laws that will
curb sedition on the one hand and
remove on the other htand the causes
that lie ar the bottom of industrial
unrest in tne body politic.
Gently reminding the Republican
party now in control of congress that
it has failed to enact legislation to
strike at the profiteers and remove
the barriers in interstate commerce
that he be.ieves are keeping up the
cost of liv ng, Mr. Wilson calls upon
the legislative branch of the gov
ernment to take a hand in setting
America’s house in order.
The president does not fail to at
tribute much of America’s economic
confusion to the failure of the
American senate to pass the peace
treaty and thus help stabilize inter
national exchange and world mar
kets but he refrains from touching
on the peace treaty itself.
Need of BKJget Systoin.
Indeed, he has decided to deal
with it in a separate message as
also, he will discuss the railroad
problem in another communication
shortly to be sent to congress.
Mr. Wilson’s message is the pro
duct of many weeksk of thought and
a careful examination of what he
believes to have been the negligence
of congress in failing to act on the
many measures recommended for ac
tion in previous messages. There
are other things, however, Trtiich
Mr. Wilson didn’t emphasize on
previous occasions, but are the re
sult of the growing demand of the
country for efficiency in administra
tion of the executive departments
of the government.
The president dwells extensively
on the need of a budget system
and efficiency in government and
argues again for a revision of the
income tax laws so as to remove
the restrictions on incentive in busi
ness. He puts forth the argument
that with the practical exception
of dyestuffs. America need not wor
ry so much about erecting a tariff
wall against foreign competition
and insists that the United Stales
has expanded to such an extent iflat
she must make her own products at
tractive to foreign buyers and keep
up her export trade.
Breaks Frecedent
The president broke a precedent
in his message—he quoted from pre
vious utterances of his own. Pos
sibly this was due to the fact that
he was conserving strength as he
lay on his sick bed attempting to
compose his message or possibly it
was the most significant way in
which he could call attention to
the indifference which the Repub
lican congress has exhibited to pre
vious requests.
Anyway, he repeats his own re
quest for legislation giving farms
and homesteads to the returned sol
diers as contemplated in Secretary
Lane’s bill, which was unacted upon
in the last session and he urges
again the creation of government
facilities to assist the returned sol
dier and sailor in getting the right
job.
It is evident, however, that Mr.
Wilson put his heart In that por
tion of the message, which deals
with labor unrest and the danger
ous risk of Bolshevism in other parts
of the world. Here is the most sig
nificant passage:
“No one who has observed the
march of events in the last year
can fail to note the absolute need of
a definite program to bring about
an improvement in the conditions of
labor. There can be no settled condi
tions leading to increased production
and a reduction of the cost of liv
ing if labor and capital are to be
antagonists instead of partners.
Sound thinking and honest diser to
serve the interests of the whole na
tion as distinguished from the in
terests of a class must be applied
to the solution of this great and
pressing program. The failure of
other nations to consider this mat
ter in a serious way has produced
bitterness and jealousness and an
tagonism, the food of radicalism.
The only way to keep men from
agitating against grievance is to
remove the grievances.
Bemedy Constructive
“An unwillingness even to discuss
these matters produces only disaster
and gives comfort to the extreme
elements in our country, which en
deavor to stir up disturbances in or
der to provoke governments to em
bark on a course of retaliation and
repression.
“The seed of revolution is repres
sion. The remedy for these must
not be negative in character. It
must be constructive. It must com
prehend the general interest. The
real antidote for the unrest which
manifests itself is not suppression
but a deep consideration of the
things that beset our national life
and the application of a remedy.”
Then the president calls attention
to the industrial conference now
meeting and declares that the “evi
dences of world-wide unrest which
manifests themselves in violence
throughout the world bid us. pause
and consider the means to bo found
to stop the spread of this contagious
thing before it saps the very vitality
of the nation itself.”
Touches Coal Injunction
Mr. Wilson proceeds to say that
the right to strike is inviolate but
that the government has “the right
to protect all of its people and to
assert its power and majesty against
the challenge of any class.”
There is no doubt that Mr. Wilson
is uttering a defense of the injunc
tion proceedings in the decent coal
strike. Moreover, the president seeks
to remove misunderstanding of the
course of Attorney General Palmer
in recommending legislation to dea.
with radicalism. Mr. Wilson points
out that he is in hearty sympathy
with this legislation, because while
he would not have the free expres
sion of opinion or the advocacy or
orderly political change interfered
with, he thinks the government
should have the power to prosecute
and punish persons, “who by violent
methods would abrogate our time
tested institutions.”

Wilson, Wood and
Frazier Chosen for
President in Dakota
PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 3.—Major
General Leonard Wood, Pfesident
Wilson and Governor Lynn J. Fra
zier, of North Dakota, today had the
indorsement for president of the
United States of the Republicans,
Democrats and non-partisan league,
respectively, of South Dakota.
The indorsements were made at
the state conventions of the three
parties last night under the Rich
ards primary law enacted at the last
session of the legislature. The Dem
ocrats also indorsed Vice President
Thomas R. Marshall for a third term,»
while the Republicans gave their in- I
dorsement to Governor Calvin Cool- |
idge, of Massachussetts, for the vice i
presidency. The non-partisan league
did not select a candidate for that •
office.
After candidates for United States
senator, representatives in congress ,
and various state offices had been ,
nominated and platforms adopted the •
three conventions adjourned early to- ,
day.
The Democratic platform had for '
its keynote permanent peace under •!
the League of Nations, while Amer- '
icanism stood out as the paramount \
issue of the Republican resolutions.. I
Both Democrats and Republicans in
dorsed the League of Nations’ cove
nant, the former unreservedly and
the latter “with proper reservations.”
The non-partisan league platform fa
vored nationalization of public cred
its and resources and public owner

Soviet’s Hunger Strike
. Yields to Goulash Odor
NEW YORK. -The hunger strike
of the “Ellis Island Soviet” has
been broken. AU but five of the
sixty-eight radicals who had re
fused to eat since Monday evening
eagerly answered the call io the din
ing room for breakfast.
After a five-day fast they were ;
ravenous and were first in the immi- i
grants’ dining hall when the tempt
ing odor of goulash permeated the
air. They devoured prunes, mush,
bread, substitute butter and coffee J
and asked for more. Second help- \
ings were refused, however, not only
because one was considered ade
quate, but the radicals might have
made themselves ill by eating
100 much.
Those who continued the htmger
strike in an effort to have removed
an iron barrier separating them
from visitors included Ethel Bern
stein and Dora Lipkin, who were
arrested in a raid on New York Rus
sian headquarters. They were the
only women on hunger .strike.
The silence strike of the sixty
eight has collapsed also.
Poultry-Yard Slackers
Are Slain in Indiana
LAFAYETTE. Ind.—-The slacker
still holds sway. This time it was
located in the barnyard among the
hens, and, as in every other place
that it has been found an effort |
has been made to scotch it.
Twenty-two per cent, or 4,256 hens !
in the poultry flocks on Indiana ■
farms, were found to be disregarding j
their duty and were discarded by j
poultrymen of the Purdue university ■
extension department In the culling !
campaign which was conducted in
August and September. These hens
were slaughtered.
The men conducted 214 demon
strations in fifty-six counties and
handled 16,068 hens during the two
months’ campaign.
The killing has saved many tons
of feed.
New Use of X-Rays
X-rays have a new use, sa; s the
London Times. Instead of being
used almost entirely for examination
of the human body, they are blow ‘
be used in inspecting lumber; and
steel. One use may be a method o'
distinguishing between differen
metal alloys, since metals vary in
their resistance to the rays. Thi
use would be limited by depfti,’ th?
rays penetrating only about four
inches into ordinary ssieel, and les<
into special alloys.
The most obvious use is the ex
amination of metal castings to find I
defects such as blowholes.

COURT CALLS FOR
MORE RIGID LAWS
TO HALT DIVORCE
Claiming that unless the legisla
ture comes to the rescue soon and
passes laws making it harder to get
married and harder to get divorced,
Judge George L. Bell told th- jury
in the Fulton superior court Tuesday
morning, at the completion of the
largest divorce docket on record ii.
the county, that Atlanta will be dis
graced.
The fact that it is now called the
“Reno of the south,” he said is put
ting it mildly. The idea of allow
ing the . ordinary to take a number
of blank licenses to his house at
night to fill out for runaway couples
and then allow them to wake up some
preacher and have him perform a
ceremony, Judge Bell said would not
do.
“The legislature of today,” Judge
Bell said, “is treating marriage and
divorce laws of Georgia as a joke
and as though the courts are enter
ing on a vaudeville program every
time the divorce calendar is taken
up. Drastic measures have got to be
taken to stop the evil that is spread
ing throughout the state and especial
ly in Fulton county,” he said.
The long docket of more than 400
undefended divorce cases was com
pleted in Judge Bell’s division Tues
day morning. Several were taken
from the calendar owing to failure
of attorneys to answer the call and
forty-three were granted by the
jury.
Shot His Sweetheart,
Gave Blood for Her
WASH INCTON.—Mrs. 'Florence
Robinson, a comely young matron,
lying near death in a hospital, and
Grover Gordon, little more than a
youth, who, because he said he loved
her, shot the woman through the
body and who for the same an
nounced reason twelve hours later
kept her alive by giving his blood
for transfusion to her veins, a»e the
principals in one of the most re
markable criminal incidents in
Washington police history.
After a jealous quarrel recently,
Gordon yesterday went to the home
of the young woman, who some time
ago had separated from her husband,
to bid her a final good-bye, as he
expected to leave that day for his
old home in Wheeling, W. Va. As
she stood in his embrace Gordon
fired a revolver shot through her
body. After his arrest last night,
Gordon was told that Mrs. Robin
son would die unless someone speed
ily volunteered to submit to blood
transfusion. He eagerly offered
himself and requested only that if
the patient were still conscious she
be told of his action.
The police are -wondering what the
effect would be should the woman
whom Gordon’had tried to kill be
saved from death through his own
sacrifice of blood.
Month-Old Porkers Miss

A few weks ago John Wilson, Sar

The ret morning Mr. Donovan
found the two young porkers he had
delivered the night before back with

GEBMffl TO SIGN
TO PROTOCOL
UftmifflS-
PARTS. Dec. 3. —(By the Asso
ciated Press.)—Germany is willing to ,
sign the protocol putting the peace
treaty into effect the moment cer
tain clauses objectionable to her in
the protocol are eliminated, Baron
Kurt von Lersner, head of the Ger- 1
man delegation here, told the As- '
sociated Press this afternoon.
The supreme council decided today
to extend until December 9 the time
allowed Rumania in which to remit
a reply to the latest allied note.
When the German plenipotentiary
was shown the statement given out
this morning that on Monday he had
informed Paul Dutasta, secretary of
the peace conference, Germany had
decided not to sign the prococbl,
Baron von Lersner said:
“I have full powers to sign the
protocol and am ready to sign it at
any moment when the question of
Scapa Flow is eliminated and re
ferred to The Hague and when there
also are eliminated the paragraph re
lating to the evacuation of Lithu
ania, which we considered already
settled and final, and the paragraph
which would permit the invasion of
our country by armed fotce in times
of peace on any trivial pretext.”
“We have represented to the su
preme council,” he continued, “what
we consider ample proofs that the
German government is not respon
sible for the sinking of the ships at
Scapa Flow, and yet in order not to
delay the final conclu ’ i of ->cace
we will submit the matter to the
Hague tribunal.”
The German plenipotentiary point
ed out that the paragraphs of the
protocol to which his government ob
jected were additions to the protocol
as provided for in the peace treaty.
While it was not true, he said, that
Germany was seeking to profit from
any circumstances tj delay making
the peace effective, she did not con
sider it possible to sign the addi
tional clauses to the protocol uncon
ditionally;

You Can Tell Which
Pecple Have Iron in
Their Blood—Strong
Healthy, Vigorous Folks
city Physician Says Ordinary Nuxatad
Iron Will Increase the Strength of
Nervous, Run-down People in Two
Weeks’ Time in Many Cases.
ONE glance is enough to tell which
people have iron in their blood, 'fhey
are the ones that do and dare. Ihe
others are in the weakling class. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over supposed ail
ments, constant dosing witli habit forming
drugs and narcotics, and useless attempts to
brace up with strong cofiee or other stimu
lants are what keep them suffering and vain
ly longing to be strong. Their real trouble
is lack of iron in the blood. Without iron
the blood has no power to change food into
living tissue and, therefore, nothing you eat
does you good; you don’t get the strength
out of it. When iron is supplied it enriches
the impoverished blood and give* the body
greater resistance to ward off disease.
Numbers of nervous, run-down people who
were ailing all the while have most aston
ishingly increased their strength and en
durance simply by taking iron in the proper
form. And this, after they had in some cases
been going on for months without getting
benefit from anything.
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 becoming tired. Next take two
five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again and
see for yourself how much you have gained.
There is nothing like good old iron to help
put color in your cheeks and sound, healthy
flesh on your bones. But you must take iron
in a form that can be easily absorbed and
assimilated like nuxated iron if. you want it
to do you any good, otherwise it may prove
worse than useless.
MANtirAfTunrHS* Notf.: Nuxated Iron recommended above
is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Unlike tlicol
derinorganiciron products,ills easily assimilated,does no!
injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach.
The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satis,
factory results to every purchaser or they will refund youi
money. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists
