MEMPHIS WOMAN
COMES OUT m
SWORN STATEMENT
Life-Long Invalid is Restored
to Health By Tanlac. Only
Weighed 76 Pounds When
She Began Taking it—Now
Weighs 107
MAKES SWORN AFFIDAVIT
BEFORE NOTARY PUBLIC
Declares That Tanlac is Thn
Only Medicine That Ever Did :
Her Any Good. Says She j
Owes Her Life to Tanlac. Has
Gained 31 Pounds.
On Friday. Jum. 13th of last ymr
there appeared in the Chattanooga
livening- News the remarkable story of
a frail little woman who had been an
invalid all of her life and who had been
restored to health and happiness by the
use of Tanlac-. The person referred to
is Miss Lallan Davis, who is now a]
resident of Memphis and who lives at
2> ti Looney Ave This statement which is
so remarkable as to he almost incred
ible was published in newspapers nil
over the South from the .Mason and
Dixon Line to the Texas border. In
telling of her wonderful restoration to
health at that, time Miss Davis said:
“I have always been very delicate
and suffered a great deal from stom
ach trouble and rheumatism. 1 rarely
over had any appetite and simply
couldn't relish anything. I fell ff in
weieli until I only weighed 70 pounds,
and was so thin I looked perfectly
awful. After taking three bottles of
Tanlac i now weigh over > 100 pounds
and am gaining every day. My appe
tite is good and X can hardly get
enough to eat. Even my complexion
has improved and I feel better in ev
ery way. Tanlac is simply grand and
I can truthfully say that this is the
only medicine that ever did me any
good.”
At the time she made this statement,
Miss Davis lived in Chattanooga and
made her home at 219 Glass Street,
East Chattanooga.
A still more remarkable feature of
this came to light just last week when
she came of her own free will and ac
cord to teil Dr. W. B. Logan, the spe
cial Tanlac representative at Memphis,
that she was still in the best of health
and that she had gained 7 pounds in
addition to the 24 pounds reported last
June, and she felt that she owed not
only her present health, but her life
to this great medicine.
Out of sheer gratitude Miss Davis
consented to give not only a second
statement but to make a sworn af
fidavit to the facts in her remarkable
case, which appear below:
Miss Laßeu Davis, formerly of 210
Glass Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., now
living at 268 Looney Avenue, Memphis,
appeared before me in person and
made the following statement:
“In June, 1915, I, of my own free
will and accord, went to the Live and
Let Live Drug Company at Chatta
nooga, Tenn., to see the Tanlac repre
sentative and gave him my testimonial
stating the fact that I had used three
or four bottles of Tanlac, and that
the statement then given was true and
that I wish to state now that every
word contained therein still holds true.
Furthermore, I have not had a day's
sickness since that time, and that I am
improving all the time, have gained
seven pounds more, making thirty-one
pounds gained since I began taking
Tanlac. Before I began taking it I
weighed seventy-six pounds and now I
weigh one hundred and seven.
“I desire to state further that I am
willing to answer all inquiries and con
sider that I owe my present good
.health to Tanlac. I cannot refrain
from adding this second statement to
the one I have already given, that I
cannot give enough praise to Tanlac.
“I have not taken any Tanlac, or
felt the need of any medical attention
up to the present time since the above
date."

SONG OF LIFE.
A traveler on a dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe its early vows;
And Age was pleased, in heights of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore—
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle on the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did.
But judged that toil might drink,
He passed again, and lo! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues
And saved a life beside.
A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the dally mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love
Unstudied from the heart,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word of love!
O though at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.
—Charles McKay.

SWEPT BIG STATE
BORDER TO BOBBER
Texas is Rejuvinated and
Made Younger By Wonderful
Earth Product.
In the last two years new life, en
ergy and health has been injected into
the whole state of Texas by the new
earth fluid, Vitalltas, This wonderful
liquid was discovered in Texas and on
home grounds it has accomplished
such remarkable things that the atten
tion of the whole world has been at
tracted to it.
Texas is today healthier, happier and
more energetic than before Vitalltas
came to relieve its sick and suffer
ing. There are more people in Texas
today praising Vitalltas than any oth
er medicine. There are more Vitalitas
bottles in Texas homes than bottles of
any other character. It has swept the
state from border to border.
People in all walks of life have rec
ognized its wonderful merits.
A world-wide demand is opening for
Vitalitas, yet the production so far
has been but little more than suffic
ient to supply Southern states. It is
bringing to the entire South, just as
it has to Texas a new health era. Vi
talitas is Nature's shortest road to
health for sufferers of chronic ills of
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and
blood. It contains only earth chem
ical and forces blended by Nature and
its tonic and corrective effects are
marvelous. Do not fall to sample Vi
talitas, talk with Mr. Brooks and see
the display now in progress, at Watson
Drug store or write there for informa

EXTRA MONEY
AND OPPORTUNITY
EXTRA MONEY MAKING.
Copyrighted, 1916, by Thrift League in
America.
A hobby has money value for some
men and women. For others it costs
money. L. A. Smith, of Geneva, 111.,
is one of those who make their hob
bies yield a return in dollars and cents.
His pastime is photography.
Although Mr. Smith is engaged in
other business, he is the man the peo
ple of Geneva look for when they
have a roll of films to be developed or
some photographs to be taken. He
does the work at home evenings.
His original ideas have made his
camera earn extra money for him. On
one occasion he went driving in the
country for a Sunday afternoon pleas
ure trip, taking his camera witli him.
A handsome herd of cattle attracted
Mr. Smith's attention, and lie asked
permission of the farmer to photo
graph them.
The farmer was pleased to think
that his herd had impressed a stranger
and consented readily. When Mr.
Smith showed him the photograph,
the owner liked it so well that he or
dered a dozen copies. He paid $3.00
for the pictures. Besides this sum Mr.
Smith received an additional $3.00 for
a picture of the herd which he sold to
a dairyman's magazine, making $6.00
in all.
He declared that any amateur, if his
pictures are good, would find it easy
to sell pictures in this way to farmers.
In many cases it would happen as it
has in his experience, that a farmer
would want a group picture of his
family taken. An order for a dozen
photos at $3.00 is the result.
A certain way of earning money
from photography, according to Mr.
Smith, is to arrange with a drug
store to develop films for the public.
Many photographers who have dark
rooms at home succeed In getting
much work to do by this plan.
John Kuczlnski is called “the basket
man" by the people of his town. He
Is a Lithuanian, living in llatavia, 111.
He and his wife and 13 year old son
gather willows along the banks of the
Fox Biver and weave basketware.
Others could do the same.
They make and sell bushel baskets
and sewing baskets, market baskets
and willow novelties. It is spare
time work, but with three pairs of
hands at work, they finish an average
of one basket per day. Mr. Kuczinskl
is employed as a night watchman, and
so is not able to give much time to
making or selling the baskets. But
Mrs. Kuczinskl easily finds customers
for all the work It 1h possible to do.
The baskets are all sold at church ba
zaars, to stores and to Individual buy
ers. The smallest sell for 40 cents;
the bushel baskets for $1.26. The av
erage price is between those figures.
A wholesale firm In Chicago offered
to buy all the baskets the family can
make. Cp to the present day they have
been able to sell all of their product to
other customers. Working every day
in their spare time, they are able to
earn from SB.OO to $12.00 per month.
The small baskets are woven from
slender willow twigs with the bark
left on. The best time to gather the
willows is In the summer when the
bark and wood Is pliable. Willows
stripped of their burk and split in
strips go into the large bushel bas
kets and market baskets.

GENERAL CONDITION OF
COTTON IN BELT IMPROVED
Washington, D. C. —Cotton improved
during: the week just ended according to
the national weather and crop bulletin of
the weather bureau issued today. It
said:
‘‘The warm weather that has prevailed

“UNCLE JIM” WOODWARD
MAY RUN FOR GOVERNOR!
Atlanta, Ga.—Mayor James G. Wood
ward, of Atlanta, may enter the race
for governor of Georgia. He has been
frequently mentioned in this connec
tion, but most people thought It was a
joke. It seems now that "Uncle Jim"
is getting so many letters on the sub
ject that lie is forced to give the mat
ter serious consideration. Conse
quently, he may announce, hut not
now. He says lie will have an answer
for the folks about June Ist.
"There is plenty of time," Hays the
mayor, when he was asked about the
governor's race. "I never did believe
in long campaign, and if should de
cide to get in the race I would pre
fer to be the last candidate to an
nounce.
June Ist will leave plenty of time for
a campaign if I want to make one."
NEGRO GETS SI,OOO FINE
OR CHAINGANG, LIQUOR
Atlanta, Ga. —A fine of SI,OOO or tho
alternate of twelve “months In the chain
gang was imposed yesterday on Will
Rich, a negro; in the city criminal court
for violation of the new prohibition
law. John Brown, another negro, held
as a party to the same case, was sen
tenced to pay a fine of SSOO or serve
twelve months.
In sentencing the negroes, Judge Cal
houn said: “It is the desire of the whole
country to carry out this law. Even
the anti-prohibitionists wish to en
force it to see what it will do. The
prohibitionists wish to enforce it be
cause they believe it is a good law.
It is up to the judges to carry out the
law. I do not intend to have my court
congested with these little blind tiger
cases and am not going to be easy on
you violators. I intend to break it
up."
