"Os all the people who have taken
Tanlac, I don’t believe there is any
one who feels any more grateful to it
than I do,” was the statement made
recently by Mrs. J. M. Craig, of
674 1 -2 East Fortieth street, Los An
geles.
“Like so many other families dur
ing the influenza epidemic last year
we all had it, and my own illness,
together with the worry over the
rest of our family, brought on a case
of genuine nervous prostration.
“I was so weak I couldn’t even
sweep thp floor, and during the day I
would have to He down four or five
times. I tried to walk but found out
half a block was all I could stand
before I gave out. Nervous spells
came on me often. '
“Every medicine I tried failed to
reach my case until finally my hus
band urged me to try Tanlac, and I
am indeed thankful that he did, for
it proved to be just what I needed.
“The first two bottles didn’t seem
to help me. I guess that was be
cause I was so extremely bad off, but
on the third bottle I could tell I
was improving and that gave me
more hopes than ever of getting
well.
“My improvement from then on
was rapid and by the time I had
taken five bottles of Tanlac I was
better and stronger than I had been
in years. I was sleeping soundly at
night and had gained twelve pounds
in weight.
“That was several months ago and
from then until now I have been in
as good health as I ever was in my
life and have been doing all the
housework by myself.
"It is simply remarkable how Tan
lac has built me up and I have told
everyone of my friends and relatives
what a wonderful medicine it is."
Tanlac is sold by all leading drug
gists.

PRESIDENT M
■ COX WILL HOLD
ffIFEBEK Slimy
WASHINGTON, July 13.—Gover
nor James M. Cox and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Democratic candidates
for president and vice president, will
confer. with President Wilson Sun
day at the White House. Arrange
ments for the conferenoe were made
over the long distance telephone to
day by direction of the president.
President Wilson, it was said, took
the initiative in arranging for an
early meeting with Governor Cox and
Mr. Roosevelt. Early today he di
rected Secretary Tumulty to talk
with the governor on the telephone
and find what day would best‘suit
his convenience. It had been com
mon knowledge that Governor Cox
would visit the president, but Demo
ocratlc leaders had not expected it to
be before August.
Report that the president and the
nominee were apart on the League
of question, were said by
parV leaders to have influenced the
president to arrange for a speedy
meeting.
It was said today the president had
kept in close touch with early cam
paign developments and was “anxious
to do his part.” Some administration
leaders intimated he would throw his
weight into the light and might make
a statement from time to time. On
the other hand. White House officials
declared’the president's course would
be determined largely by the advice
of the national committee.
Plans for the campaign are expect
ed to be discussed at the conference.
It will be the first meeting between
President Wilson and Governor Cox
since the latter’s nomination?
Governor Cox will leave Columbus
at 5:30 Friday evening for his home
in Dayton.
Co-ordination of the Democratic
presidential and congressional cam
paigns will be taken up by Govebnor
Cox and Representative Flood, of
Virginia, when Governor Cox comes
to Washington, it was announced to
day.
Mr. Flood is chairman of the Dem
ocratic nationaj congressional com
mittee, which is director of the cam
paign of Democratic congressional
candidates.
He predicted that with Gov. Cox
and Mr. Roosevelt heading the party
ticket the Democrats would win a
majority in both branches of con
gress.
“On my way back from California
and since arriving here I have met
Democrats everywhere enthusiastic
over the prospects for success in No
vember for both our presidential and
congressional tickets,” he said.
COLUMBUS Ohio,, July 13.—A
vigorous stump campaign to be
waged in all sections ofr the county
until the eve of the elections will be
started by James M. Cox and FranK
lin D. Roosevelt shortly after August
15, the candidates have decided.
The outstanding feature of the first
conference of the nominees is that
both are anxious to start “swings
around the circuit” just as soon as
notification ceremonies are over.
Complete agreement was also reach
ed that the campaign should open
in the west. The nominees have re
ceived assurance that their prelimi
nary plans have the approval of vir
tually all the Democratic national
committee.
Mr. Roosevelt stated that he ex
pects to resign his naval office about
August 1 and devote all his energies
to the campaign. Governor Cox ex
pects to retain his gubernatorial of
fice.
The vice presidential nominee
clearly indicated that the League of
Nations will be made the main issue
on the western trip.
Before leaving for his home in
Hyde Park, N Y, Mr Roosevelt said
he would carry assurances to Presi
dent Wjlson that both nominees are
for ratification of the treaty, with
reservations that preserve its integ
city.
Mr. Roosevelt will attend celebra
tions in his honor at Hyde Park
and Poughkeepsie, N. Y„ and Thurs
day will represent the navy depart
ment at the international yacht races.
His formal notification will be held
at his home early in August, ac
cording to present plans. Shortly
before that time Mr. Roosevelt ex
pects to spend several days at his
summer home, Eastport, Me., writ
ing his speech of acceptance.
Although W. J. Bryan has not in
dorsed the Cox nomination, Roose
velt said he had “received, a warm
personal message” from the Com
mondr, commending his selection.
Governor Cox was deeply concerned
at the illness at San Francisco of
his campaign manager, E. H. Moore,
and sent a message expressing hope
of a speedy recovery.

Oh, Where Is the Hobo of Yesteryear?
The Eelegant Bum Now Sallies Forth
“Who are these nifty-looking young
fellows you see standing in line for
tickets at movies at 9 o’clock in the
morning when the rest of us are go
ing to work?”
W. C. Starkey, of the Illinois state
employment buread, answered that
question without pausing for reflec
tion.
“Why,” he said, “those are Chi
cago’s elegant bums. There are 10,000
of them walking the streets right
now in Chicago, and every city in the
country is flooded with them.”
Checking up on the elegant “bum”
resulted in such astonishing revela
tions that dealing with this new
brand of American may be called a
“problem.”
“Yes, he Is a brand new proposi
tion,” Starkey said. “He is the pro
hibition-renovated bum, of days gone
by. He wears a white collar now
and has deserted the “flop houses,"
bvt he is the same old bum, same
whiskers and 100-proof breath.
“There is a full division of labor’s
army holding itself for boulevard
duty in this city now. Its members
hold a permanent pass, which allows
them to escape the factory whistle’s
daily drill call, and the only ‘taps’
they know is the 4 a. m. bright light
fade-out.
Work Three Days a Week
They will not work more than three
days a week, and they demand their
pay every night.”
Figures produced by the employ
ment bureaus show that every Mon
day morning about 25,000 men appear
for work. They demand day work
and refuse to tackle any job that
does not pay once a week.
"Monday and Tuesday these job
shoppers come here and listen to
what we have to offer,” Starkey con
tinued. “If there is a call for twen
ty-five men at 60 cents an hour, pay
every night, twenty-five men jump up
to grab it. If there is a call for
the same number of men to be paid
once a week, then about ten respond.
New Invention Helps Teach Blind to
Read; Demonstrated by Austrian
Dr. Max Herz, of Vienna, Austria,
produced a sensation among instruc
tors for the blind, in convention at
Overlea, Md., when he demonstrated
his invention, the typophone, which
promises to revolutionize the teach
ing of the blind and place the sight
ies son a plane with slighted people
in the fields of study and cultivation.
The typophone is a small machine
by which the blind will read by
sound rather than touch, the read
ing matter being ticked out from a
disk.
“If the typophone can be developed
so results will be what Dr. Herz’s
demonstration promises, it will be
the greatest single contribution to
the blind since the discovery of
Braille over a eentury ago,” Charles
S. S. Campbell, assistant director of
the Red Cross Institute for the Blind,
said, following the demonstration.
Mr. Campbell’s opinion was enter
tained generally among the instruc-
Sensational Letter
Figures in Green’s
Plea for New Trial
Admission as evidence of the
“angel sweetheart" letter which
created such a sensation at the
trial, was one of the points on
which attorney's for William B.
Green, the former Fairburn banker,
based his petition for a new trial,
the hearing of which began before
Judge John B. Hutcheson at De
catur Monday.
The letter, addressed to “my darl
ing wifie,” and signed “with all my
love and a great big goodnight kiss,
yours only and forever, Bill,” was
found among the effects of Mrs.
Katherine Bradstreet, according to
attorneys for the prosecution, and
was claimed by them to have been
written to her by Green. At the
trial which resulted in Green’s con
viction on charges of embezzlement,
the prosecution introduced the let
ter in an effort to prove intimate re
lations between Green and Mrs.
Bradstreet, who is now awaiting
trial on the same charge in August.
At the hearing Monday, Green’s at
torneys declared there was no date
or evidence on the letter to prove
that it was written to Mrs. Brad
street, and they charged that the
court erred in allowing it to be ad
mitted as evidence. Twenty other
points, most of them charging error
to the court, were presented by
Green’s lawyers to support their plea
for a new trial.
The arguments before Judge
Hutcheson grew so prolonged that,
after hearing them for a'bout two
hours, he continued the hearing until
next Saturday morning, July 17.
Atlanta Spot Cotton

Following an advance in New

the Atlanta Commercial Exchange at

States.
If it is a factory job paying every
fortnight, none of them will take it.
“They work in emergencies; never
will they work more than two days
a week.
“If it were simply the old floating
class doing this sort of thing, the
proposition would not be serious. As
it is we have some of the best types
of skilled labor asking for this kind
of work. In the old days the bums
were unshaven and dirty, but they

Now they are without beer and have
little reason to work except to get
money for food and lodging and the
movies.”
Patrons of the Theaters
Chicago motion picture men and
“pop” vaudeville hous magnates gave
testimony that bears this statement
out perfectly.'
Ralph Kettering of a chain of
vauueville houses, said early morn
ing performances were now playing
to capacity.
“One theater opens at 8 o’clock to
capacity crowds,” he said. “The au
diences are mostly young men. For
the last year this early morning
audience has been growing. A year
ago it was a 50 per cent capacity
house. Now it is always capacity.
“In the same time our all-night
house has been playing to capacity
from midnight to 4 o’clock in the
morning. We have thought this au
dience was composed of night work
ers, but this cannot be the reason.
Just young fellows with nothing to
do, I guess.”

streets reveals the “elegant bum”' in
all his glory.

tors, although they believe the in
vention must be further developed
before it can come into use among
large numbers of the blind.
Because of the expense and bulk Os
books printed in Braille libaries for
the blind have been limited, the in
structors explained when discussing
the invention, and one of the difficul
ties in teaching the blind has been
the fact that many textbooks are
old-fashioned, some now in use hav
ing been written forty years ago.
A book in Braille costs anywhere
from $5 to $25, and a small maga
zine is equal. in bulk to two city
telephone books. If Dr. Herz’s in
vention is found practicable a thirty
page book can be gotten on a small
disk and will cost only a few cents,

the making will cose the fraction of
a cent. The machine on which the
disk is operated can be made, it is
said, for sl2.

Kills Two Men
For Their Remarks
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 13.—A
double tragedy was enacted this
morning, five miles north of Spring
field, Thomas Duer, thirty, killing
Ray Herdon, twenty-three, and Earl
Herdon, twenty-one, brothers, and
well-known young men in Robertson
county.
Reports reaching Nashville are
that the trouble had its origin in
derogatory reports concerning a
young woman to whom Duer had
been attentive. Parties interested
are said to have met this morning
on the farm of C. M. King for the
purpose of setting the reports at
rest in a peaceable manner, but Duer
came to the scene armed and used
his pistol with deadly effect. He is
in jail at Springfield, charged with
murder.

LAND USED FOR
STILLS MAY BE
TAKEN BY U. S.
Land and buildings used with the
knowledge of Xhe owner in the il
legal distillation of whisky will be
confiscated by the government from
now on if a new and drastic move for
more rigid enforcement of prohibition
laws can be successfully followed by
the federal prohibition department in
the southeast.
A test case to establish the con
demnation provisions of both the old
revenue statutes and the prohibi
tion laww will be instituted in con
nection with the home of M. C. Beav
ers, 55 Springer street, where prohibi
tion agents and county officers found
and destroyed a fifty-gallon distilling
outfit hidden in an ingeniously de
signed secret room Monday after
noon.
Prohibition Supervisor D. J. Gantt,
in charge of the gulf district, an
nounced Tuesday morning that the
foregoing procedure had been decided
upon. Heretofore, according to Mr.
Gantt, the policy of condemning still
sites, as authorized under federal
law. has not been practiced, mainly
because the locations of the old type
of moonshine stills meant usually’a
very email patch of ground.
Under present changing conditions,
however, he says, when homes .and
other buildings, frequently located on
city lots, are encountered in prohibi
tion enforcement operations, the
aspect of the situation is altered.
If the owner of the property can be
convicted of operating the still, or
if he countenances such operations,
confiscation proceedings will be in
stituted and vigorously prosecuted
against the “guilty” house and land,
according to Mr. Gantt.
In the raid upon which the test
case is to be based, the officers ar
rested Beavers, who is said to have
admitted operating the still. He is
held at the Fulton county tower
pending arraignment on state and
federal charges.
The raiding officers, In searching
the house, which is elevated above
the ground, found a trap-door that
led to the distilling room. A com
plete outfit, including fermenters,
furnace, worm and other accessories
was there, and had apparently been
used for some time.
In the raiding party were Prohibi
tion Agent Nations, Deputy Sheriff
White, County Policemen Oliver,
Carroll and Butler. Federal Prohi
bition Supervisor D. J. Gantt and his
assistant, Gene Hardeman, later vis
ited the premises.
ULTIMATUM TO
HUNS ON COAL
DELAYED A DAY
SPA, Belgium, July 13.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —The allied prime
ministers have decided not to insist
upon the Germans replying to the al
lied ultimatum regarding coal de
liveries at 3 p. m. today. The Ger
mans will be permitted to defer their
reply until tomorrow.
The experts on both sides are
spending the day re-examining the
situation.
(The allies originally demanded a
monthly delivery of 2,200,000 tons of
coal by the Germans. The Germans
offered' 1,100,000 tons and the allied
demand was reduced to 2,000,000 tons.
The ultimatum informed the Ger
mans they must agree by 3 o’clock
this afternoon to this monthly de
livery, or the allies would take meas
ures to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles).
While the experts were at work
the prime ministers were indulging
in relaxation from the labors the,
conferences had entailed upon them.
Premier Lloyd George went on a mo

was rejected by a vote of 283 to 155.
While the measure was being de
bated, immense crowds assembled in
nearby parks and held pro-suffrage
demonstrations.
Newspapers criticize what they
call the “outrageous attitude of the
police, and a company of armed gen
darmes which was summoned to quell
possible disturbances at yesterday’s
suffrage mass meetings.” The claim
is made that a bystander was se

counties have not been announced,
it is not considered likely any other
zounty will force deKalb out of her
standing in the “big six.” The re
apportionment of the counties on
the basis of the new census figures
is not* likely to be taken up by the
legislature until 1921, owing to the
Incomplete census returns.
When the reapportionment is made
DeKalb county will move up to three
representatives in the house and
Floyd will drop down to two, in all
probability.
