M BREAKFAST
Well Known Police Sergeant
Takes Tanlac and Gains
15 Pounds
NOW EATS AND SLEEPS
RETTERTHAN INYEARS
“Medicine Does All That Is
Claimed for It,” He Says
In Statement
“I have been taking Tanlac for only a
few weeks now and have gained fifteen
pounds in weight," said Janies W. Ixmg
hurst, the well known police sergeant,
of Nashville, Tenn., when seen by the
Tanlac representative.
Continuing, Sergeant I,onghurst said:
"1 have not been sick exactly, but have
been all out of shape for several months.
I was constipated and bilious and had
no life or energy, and just simply had
to drag myself around. 1 was also nerv
ous and restless and did not sleep well.
My appetitie was poor, and I would fre
quently suffer from indigestion and
pains in my stomach. At times I was
almost afraid to eat certain dishes, such
as fat meat and other things, knowing
if I did t?o I would suffer for hours aft
* cr wards.
“This medicine was just what 1
needed to straighten me out. It went
straight to the spot, and I began to im
prove immediately. My appetite is good,
and I can cat anything with a relish. I
also sleep well, and no longer have that
tired feeling. For instance. I can now
eat bacon or fried chicken for breakfast
without suffering the slightest discom
fort. Jn fact, I enjoy my meals and
tan eat like a schoolboy. When I go to
bed at night I sleep as sound as a log,
and wake up in the morning feeling re
freshed. 1 no longer have that tired,
’draggy' feeling, and ilnd my work a !
teal pleasure.
'Tanlac is certainly all that you claim
for it. and even more, because I do not
believe there is another medicine on
earth that would have caused me to gain
fifteen pounds iu so short a time."
Ccmmenting on the above statement,
Mr. <». F. Willis, the southern distributor
of Tanlac. said:
“A tired, dragging feeling of the body,
sluggish mind and dull memory, depres
sion of spirits, nervousness, stomach
and bowel trouble, are among the nu
merous symptoms of a condition from
which a surprisingly large number of
American citizens suffer.”
“Thousands are now using Tanlac
throughout the south to overcome these
troubles, and in each case the prepara
tion has accomplished surprising results.
I am receiving scores of testimonials
from well known people who have been
benefited by its use."
20 LBSJ MONTH

When She Began Taking
Tanlac—Now Weighs
120 Pounds
Merely lo illustrate the results ob
*-ained from Tanlac, the following let
ters, which have been recently received
by Mr. Cooper have been forwarded to
Mr. Willis, the private secretary, who
is now superintending the introduction of
Tanlac in this city.
Mrs. Elliott Baker of Lexington, Ky.,
makes the following remarkable state
ment. Her letter follows:
"I have been under the doctor’s care
‘ for eight years. I suffered principally
from stomach troubles and indigestion.
I weighed only one hundred pounds when
I began taking Tanlac. After using Tan- j
lac for almost one month, 1 now weigh j
one hundred and twenty pounds or a gain
of twenty pounds.
“Tanalac is really the only thing that
k has actually helped me. I wish to rec
k ommend its use to every' suffering wo
man.’’
• "Such statements as the foregoing
should appeal directly to the thousands
trouble.” said Mr. G. F. Willis, south
^ ern distributor for Tanlac, in comment
p. ing upon Mrs. Baker’s statement.

sells an Bonus
Maryville, Tenn., March 27, 1915.
Mr. G. F. Willis,
Knoxville, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Please ship us by express another
gross of Tanlac. In all my experience
in the drug business J have never seen
anything to equal it. People come here
for it from all over the county and
those who have used it buy anywhere
from throe to six bottles. Our sales
have increased every week, and for
proof of its genuine merit it is the
greatest repeater we have ever sold.
We have now sold over 600 bottles
since we began handling it, which is
an average of nearly 100 btotles per
week, establishing a new record for this
store, if you care to use tjiem in your
advertising we can get you a number of
strong testimonials from the best people
in the county.
Wishing you coptinued succeas. ’ Yours
very truly, GEOItGE 6c MITCHELL, per
Mitchell.
Following his long estab
lished custom of giving a
large part of his income each
year to charity, L. T. Coop
er, the celebrated Tanlac
man, who is famous through
out the country as a practi
cal philanthropist, has di
rected his secretary to dis
tribute one thousand (1000)
dresses of excellent quality
to the poor women of the
Birmingham district.
His decision to perform this service
was reached after thorough and care
ful consideration of the great problem
of providing for the needs of the in
digent poor. He conceived and executed
his plans as quietly as he performed his
great relief work among the Dayton
flood sufferers in 1913.
As previously stated, Mr. Cooper Is a
firm believer in practical philanthropy,
and it has always been his aim and en
deavor to accomplish the greatest good
for the greatest number. As a genuine
i proof of the interest he is taking in his
wonderful work, he went in person yes
i terday to the well known wholesale es
tablishment of the Goodall-Brown Dry
Goods Company and spent sometime
looking over the large and complete
stock, and seemed to take almost child
ish delight in the selection of the large
and varied assortment of patterns, and
was not satisfied until convinced that
a sufficient variety of patterns had
been selected to appeal to the taste
of every age, both old and young.
The first distribution of these dresses
will be made on next Saturday. July 31.
at Jacobs’ Drug Store, from 3 to 6 p. m.
Local charity workers will be on hand
to see that only the needy and worthy
ere provided for. Other distributions
will be made here each month; also at
B< ssemer and Ensley.
It is indeed doubtful if Mr. Cooper’s
donation could have come at a more
opportune time, and these attractive
dresses will delight the hearts of hun
dreds of poor women and girls who
have heretofore been unable to obtain
them for lack of employment.
In Chattanooga recently the ladies of
that city. representing the various
thurch organizations, actively co-oper
ated with Mr. Cooper in this work.
In Nashville the distribution was
made through the United Charities. One
of the above plans may be adopted lo
cally before the next distribution is
made.
MAY ESTABLISH BREAD LINE THIS
WINTER
Tt is also understood that Mr. Cooper
is considering the advisability of es
tablishing a free bread line here this
w inter on the order of the one estab
lished at Louisville last winter, where
he distributed 50,000 loaves to the poor
ot that city.

PARTS OF GLOBE
Tanlac Draws Its Medicinal
. Properties From Many
Points
The ingredients or medica) elements
which make Tanlac come from many
remote sections of the earth., The Alps,
the Pyrenees. Russian Asia, West In
dies, Mountain States near the Rocky
Mountains, Persia. Mexico, Peru and
Tanland island are among the points
from which the principal parts of the
preparation are obtained.
In the principal laboratory of the
Cooper Medicine Company, Inc., under
the efficient direction of Herr Joseph
Trimbach, a native German chemist of
note, these medicinal herbs, roots and
barks are assembled in the rough and
painstakingly developed, so as to ob
tain of that high standard of ef
ficiency shown by the uniform prep
aration, Tanlac.
In sterilized bottles, made expressly
for the purpose, Tanlac is placed,
labeled and cartoned: the preparation
is inspected again and then crated
teady for shipment to ppints over the
world where the demand requires.
Enclosed in each carton writh a bottle
of Tanlac is a small envelope contain
ing a number of small laxative tablets,
which unquestionably represent a real
scientific triumph. These tablets are
absolutely without any unpleasant
taste whatsoever, and without any bad
after-effects, griping or sickening sen
sation, produce the desired results.
These tablets are also sold in a reg
ular 25 cents size bottle.

» ONE DEALER
A Lexington, Ky., Druggist
Sells 20,000 Bottles—The
Demand Has Been
Phenomenal f
NOTHING EVER EQUALED IT
“l have sold Tanlac since the begin
ning of its introduction in Lexington,
to the mayors of a number of cities,
county judges, circuit judges, and to
many of the most prominent business
and professional men in Kentucky.”
says William E. Stagg, the Lexington
druggist.
‘The demand for the preparation has
been phenomenal. In all of my 20 years*
experience in the drug business 1 have
never seen anything that equals It.
“In addition to the Lexington de
mand, Tanlac has been shipped from
my store to Kansas City, Mo.; Colo
rado Springs, Col.; Denver, Col.; Mem
phis, Tenn.; Meridian, Miss.; Bonilla.
S. D.; Pittsburg, Pa.; Jacksonville, Fla.;
Louisville, Ky.; Tiffin, O.; Cincinnati,
O.; Columbia, Term.; Palm Bench, Fia.;
Phoenix, Ariz.; Los Angeles, Cal., and
many other points throughout the coun
try, that are too numerous to mention.
You may rest assured that every city
in Kentucky has, too, heard of Tanlac
“I can only account for the great de
mand for this preparation by the fact
that it is a good medicine. That is
proven by the numerous statements
from those who have tested the mei.i
cine and are now convinced of its e.»:
• ellent merits. The public has evident
ly not been slow to appreciate the Tali
lac merit.
“Practically $20,000 worth of Tanlac
has been sold and distributed through
my store within the past few weeks.
Such a demand is most certainly un
precendented.
“My association with Mr. Cooper a id
the agency for Tanlac has been very
pleasant. I therefore take pleasure in
< ommending Mr. Cooper and his very
excellent preparation.”
WILLIS TELLS WHY
-
Because Preparation Con
tains Real Merit, He Says
in Statement
“If l have been successful with Tan
lac," says G. F. Willis, southern dis
tributor, “it is because the preparation
contains real merit.
"Tanlac is the result of many years
of arduous study by Mr. Cooper and
his principal chemist. In fact, the two
of them have carefully watched its de
velopment from the beginning of the
experimental tests to Its present state
of efficiency.
“In cases of catarrhal affections of
the mucous membrane, stomach, 11 /ei
and kidney complaints, I believe there
is nothing bo far discovered that will
equal the action of Tanlac.
"Ever and anon someone suggests
something that may tend to better our
conditions, our business or our socio
logical state. It has, therefore, given
Mr. Cooper pleasure this time to offer
to the world Tanlac.
“The success the preparation has
achieved in Louisville, Lexington,
Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga and
other Important points is ample evi
dence that my confidence In Tanlac is
well placed.
“A large percentage of your best and
most prominent people are now using
the preparation, and they are daily
testifying to its almost miraculous
powers as a medicine of exceptional
value in instances of catarrh, stomach,
liver and kidney derangements, nervous
delibility, and in cases where a superior
tonic is required.
“It is true that the demand for Tan
lac has been large, but no larger than
I had expected. The people are only
awakening to an appreciation of the
full value of such a preparation. Tan
lac’s success in your city will be just
as great as it has been in Knoxvil’c,
Louisville and other cities.”
More than 150,000 persons are now
taking Tanlac, the premier preparation
in Kentucky and its vicinity. So great
has been the increase in the demand in
this community and elsewhere that It
has been necessary to enlarge the ca
pacity of the laboratories at Dayton, O.
Heretofore it has been possible to
turn out 8000 bottles of Tanlac daily
under normal conditions. With some
additional efforts 10,000 bottles could
be prepared.
Now' it is necessary to add to the
plant’s capacity, increase the force en
gaged. and arrange to care for a de
mand greater even than the sanguine
expectations of L. T. Cooper, the fa
mous owner of the remedy, had taken
into account.
Mr. Cooper has met with sensational
successes in the sale of Tanlac elst
where, but even these had not prepared
him for what has happened hereabouts.
When it is said that more than 150,000
persons are taking Tanlac, this gives
only a hint of the number of bottles bo
ing sold. It has been show'n that nearly
every person who takes one bottle g its
more.—^Adv.

“The American Red Cross by Octo

statement.
"The tour of duty required of each
surgeon and nurse does not exceed six
months, so that a number already have
returned and substitutes have been
sent. By October a large number of
those now In Europe will return. The
cost of the transportation of these sur
geons and nurses, going and coming,
makes a constant and considerable
financial demand upon the Red Cross
treasury. The monthly payroll also is
a large item of expense. In view of
these facts and because its funds are ;
rapidly becoming exhausted, the Amor- ,
lean Red Cross has decided by October
1 of the present year to withdraw the
personnel now in Europe; possibly with
the exception of the units in Belgium.
Much as it regrets this necessity, it
realizes that no Red Cross of a neutral
country ever before rendered so long
and extensive service in the way of per
sonnel to nations engaged in war.
Work In Servia
The work of the American Red Cr-isj
sanitary commission under Richard P.
Strong, for which the Rockefeller
Foundation has made generous con
tributions, has been most successful.
Dr. Strong was appointed director of
the international health board composed
of’Servian health officers and the
heads of the English, French and Rus
sian missions. The American minister
at Bucharest reports to the state de
partment that the epidemic of typhus
has been suppressed.
The American lied Cross is arranging
for physicians, nurses and equipnu lit
lor .a baby hospital in Servia, for which
special contributions have been re
ceived through Madame Grouitch.
The Red Cross, the report shows, sent
to Europe 367 persons on Tiumanita
rian enterprises. Of those 71 were su.
geons and 253 nurses. Forty-three we re
members of the Servian sanitary com
mission. England, France, Russia, Ger
many, Austro-Hungray. Servia and Bel
gium each received one or more com
plete hospitals with doctors, nurses and
other attendants. Thousands of wounded
and sick have been cared for. Financial
aid was sent also to hospitals und oth
er institutions in many countries and
hospital supplies have been rushed to
the war zone by every steamer.
Report of Red Cross
The report shows the Red Cross lia *
sent into the war zone almost 1,000,000
pounds of cotton for the hospitals, 8b-,
000 yards of surgical gauze. 65,000 yards
of crenoline, 727,000 bandages, 35,000
yards of adhesive plaster, 9240 stretcii
eis, 10,267 blankets and 19 motor am
bulances for the Red Cross personnel.
Vast quantities of drugs and medi
cines were sent. There were four army
field hospitals’ outfits. 50 army hos

SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
n; SIRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN
The Alabama illiteracy commission pub
lished as a concrete example a pamphlet
made from a report of a visit of the
rural school agent in Dale county. The
first thing people ask is for some proof
of the practicability or an illiteracy cam
paign. The Dale county report will show
that the wofU already done in Alabama
is progressing well.
The Echo school for adults is located in
the extreme eastern part of Dale county,
and when the superintendent of educa
tion called for volunteers to undertake
the work of removing illiteracy, Professor
Riley responded. Professor Riley is the
teacher for that section and being a native i
of that district he was working with his
own kith and kin.
The school has now been in session ,
nine days and at present there are 13 j
adults attending the school. Their ages j
average from 34 to H3. Four are grand- j
mothers and have two or more grand- |
children in the regular school. The father j
<rf live children Is a trustee of the school j
he attends. He has just learned to write
his name. A few days ago, says J. B.
Hobdy, rural school agent, in his report,
this man was asked if he had seen his
school report. 'Yes,” he replied, "I signed
it and nobody didn’t help me.” The report
says that the teacher here has already
taught his pupils to write their names,
and is now teaching them to read and
write simple words.
One old lady had learned to write her
name on the third day of school and had
written ail over her “speck” box. Another
old man when asked what he thought
about opening the schools for adults said:
"It’s the best thing ever done in this
county.” "Why are you in school?” was
asked of a grandmother 58 years old. “I
want to read my Bible and sing out of a
book.”
The report states that the adult school In
Echo Is very democratic, all titles are
omitted by the teacher and pupils are
addressed by their given name.
At Bethel and Mt. Hebron the schools
are being taught by two young ladles
who live in Newton. Miss Oordie Vickers
is the teacher of the Mt. Hebron school
...
and Miss t ora oiewan is wonting at me
Bethel school. Miss Stewart when ques
tioned about her work, said: "I felt that L
wanted to help the people who wanted to
learn. I think we teachers and any oth
ers who love humanity can afford to give
our time and talent to those grown people
who want to learn and are willing to go
to school.”
County Superintendent Marchman re
marked. in speaking of the school vork:
This is the greatest thing ever put on
foot in Alabama. It looks like somebody
is going to work for nothing, to help
the poor fellow who ' didn't have the
chance.”
All of these schools have on an average
of 10 to 14 adult pupils, the attendance is
regular and the pupils are Interested and
grateful. From the report It is easy to
gather the majority of the pupils never
before had a chance. The report gives
the following plan of campaign which
sounds practical and workable, and the
results are certainly encouraging.
"The Dale county illiteracy campaign is
being conducted along two specific lines.
Teachers of unfinished public school terms
are urged to open school earlier in the
morning than is the custom in order to
complete regular school work. The chil
dren are then dismissed and the adults are
taught for two hours. Another plan is
to teach afternoon school without any
connection with summer schools for chil
dren of school age. Both plans are work
ing successfully.
"The plan of teaching those who will
not attend school Is to begun in their
homes, and at a later date, if conditions
justify it, moonlight schools are to be
organized.”
Before the school is organized the super
intendent secures the assistance of one
or more of the district trustees, the teach
er or Home interested citizen In making a
house to house canvass of the district,
and in listing the names of the illiterate
persons. A public meeting to which a
general Invitation is given every person
in the district is then called.
So far Dale county has done the most
successful work along thi» line in the
state, and it Is to be desired many other
reports of as hopeful a nature will be
soon sent in.
The optimistic of us expect when the
legislature ha« passed so many good laws
for the human W'elfare of the state Ala
bama will be whitewashed of Its sins of
omissions and blossom forth beautiful in
its regeneration.
Valuable Record of Remo7:als
By MRS. J. B. RBID
There seems to be some discussion as
to the legality of the law created by a
city ordinance to demand from trans
fer companies or draymen a registra
tion of removals, giving the old and
new address to police headquarters.
We do not know anything of the
legal phase of the situation, but we do j
know the usefulness of such a require
men. Again we know that it is in set-,
\ice in Philadelphia, Columbus, O.; |
Louisville, Jacksonville, Fla., and Mem- i
phis, as well as Birmingham, and that
it is a household friend.
Many women have had their entire
week's laundry on a tour of the city
without their consent, and without the
means of locating the said Jane Smith,
who called on Monday, a perfectly re
liable looking washerNvoman and left
the number'of her home as —; a loca
tion that suited the woman who en
trusted her clothing to her. Jane keeps
her clothing undiscovered as long as
possible, even though the police keep
on her trail, sometimes forever; or
maybe the owner of the stock is
called down to the police court to find
her season’s saving, a bundle of rags
awaiting her recognition—after a long
visit from home. A visit to Jane’s for
mer neighborhood is useless—there are
many "I don’t knows" handed out to
you from voices through the Nvindows
or half-open doors. “She's moved some
Nvhere." And this was all of the data
available. If there is any doubt about
this business, we refer you to Judge
B. M. Allen. He became familiar with
all “the white folks" wardrobes, for a
long time 'twas to him both mistress
and washerwoman appealed. If it were
he looking into the virtue of the low
we would not be surprised, because he
understands the trade—from an abun
dant practice.
Nothing will so handicap a family as
the nonappearance of her washerwoman
at the proper time.
Now, when Jane moves, they “have
her number," and can readily recovei
the remnants of wearing; apparel, and
the owners have the pleasure of iden
tifying her clothing before it is aired
in police court; thanks to a practical
ruling. If it serves with the washer
woman, it is of equal value in other
instances of suspected employes—and
li will be especially helpful now. when
there will be so few police left, and
the washing is being distributed over
an unprotected territory. If it saves in
the small affairs of home, what must
it mean to the merchant and the dealer
who sells on the installment plan?
They could move to Jericho with half
of Birmingham, and no way to tell from
whence they came or whither they went.
Thousands of dollars worth of furniture
and merchandise could be carted from a
central avenue to the suburbs of Bessemer
and neither city would be aware of their
loss o! gnin. '
There is no need to have a law and not
to have it enforced. One man has to
pay a fine of $3 as an admonition to others
for his careless act. Tf it were over
looked there might be some dray drivers
who wanted “new business." and there is
money' in hauling other folks' things if
you get way out of sight with the goods.
This is really an ounce of prevention
and a needed register, and should be a
valuable reference for police headquar
ters.
Half the world moves; It takes a long
time to own a home, especially in Bir
mingham, where the foot is so small and
so '.'aluable. Of course, one has to have
experience in any business to know the
"proa and cons.” and the Birmingham
housekeepers speak from experience with
washwomen in this business of keeping
their clothing. This phase of public ser
