JOINER GAINS TflffiTY-FIYE Engineer’s Wife Says Health Was Completely Broken Down— “I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and have gained thirty-five pounds,” was the tru¬ ly remarkable statement made by Mrs- Wilhelmina Joiner, wife of Richard Joiner, the wellknown engineer on the M. D, & S. rail¬ road, residing at 115 Third street, Macon, Ga. “Before I began taking the medicine my health was so brok¬ en and I was in such a badly, run¬ down condition, I couldn't give sufficient nourishment to my young baby—in fact, I was com¬ pletely broken down in every wap. “I suffe-ed from nervous indi¬ gestion and have been in a gen¬ eral run-down condition In fact, for nearly two years I have suf¬ fered from nervous prostration brought on by this trouble. “I tried doctors, I tried medi¬ cines, I tried nearly everything you could think of trying to get relief, but it just seemed like the harder I tried to get well, the worse I would get. Finally my condition got so I coludn’t eat any solid food of any kind with¬ out suffering torture. It just looked like I was on the verge of a physical decline, and sometimes I almost despared of ever getting well and strong again. “Thac’s just the condition Lwas in when I began taking Tanlac, and it wasn't anj- tfm* hardly I . taking it before , after began . I began to improve. My nerves got better at once and I got so I could enjoy a good night’s sleep. Then my appetite returned, and it just looked like I couldn’t get enough to eat. I could just eat anything put on the table, and everything seemed to taste good and nourish me. And the baby, why, you just ought to see it. It is just thriving and is getting plenty of nourishment. My com¬ plexion has cleard up, too, and I have a good color now for the first time in years Before I be¬ gan taking this Tanlac I was as yellow as a lemon. ‘ My husband thinks there is no medicine on earth like Tanlac, and my friends are alt talking about how I have improved.

Tiis Kind You Have Always Bought "•tears the Signature of 1 The Big Explosion I - On Black Tom Island Frank Ellington, a former El* lijay boy, who is now with the Signal Corps of the U. S, Army stationed at Bedlees Island in New York harbor, has written the-falfowing account to his fath¬ er of the big explosion of twenty five million dollars worth of war munitions which were stored on Black Tom Island and which caught fire and blew up Sunday., July 30th: Fott Wood,NYH.,July 31st,1916 Dear Pa: ^ You have probable read something of the explosion here by this time hut am satisfied you didn't get the details of our part in ,t. Will proceed to relate what I saw of the occurrence To begin with, we are situated on about 5 acres of ground some¬ thing like looo yards from the scenes of action and the island stands up a little higher than BDck Tom, where the munitions we;e stored. Well about two o’clock I was awakened by a thundering explosion and opened my eyes just in time to get a glimpse of the blinding glare of light which followed the first re¬ port and to see the falling glass and plaster which littered the floor of our barracks. My first impression was that we were in the midst of an earthquake as the betiding was severely shaken and the rumbling noise followed the exolosion for some few seconds. -iA»aTone shouted tjiat’the; prop jerty office was on fire as the con cussion had started the fire bells going.

Then I no ticed that every one on the island was up and running around from place to place, some in night clothes There are about 35 w’omen and children here besides the soldiers so we bad quite an aggregation on the parade ground Well, the flames were going up in cloud? and flashes and making it quite hot over here and we were expecting a second explosion each second. It was decided that the parade ground would be the saf¬ est place (o wait for it in spite of the falling bits of iron bolts and shrappnel as the buildings had already proved their danger by cutting some of the soldiers quite severely in the face and arms from flying glass, and then we fully expected the next shock to bring the whole thing down, so the biggest part of the crowd were gathered in the center of th< parade ground and there wailed for it Some of the women wer a bit hysterical but I can’t blami them as that powder warehoust certainly did look close in the brilliant light, f must say that l felt mighty funny while I was waiting for the dig one to come and to make it worse for myself I had taken a 4-months-old baby from one of the women to hold and I knew that concussion was more dangerous to an infant than (Concluded on last page) Consolidated Jan. 1st 1916 . 1 Kinds f Money yours if you will m^ke up ^irLto save a little each week and Put It in the Bank It is the only way to get ahead in this world, because ft en ables you to start in business for yourself whea the proper time comes, and also insures a comfortable and peaceful old age.
