Grew Despondent Over Her Troubles ONCE WAS "MOST WRETCHED PERSON," SAYS MRS. GREENE. "Before I began taking Tanlac I was the most wretched person I expect you ever saw, but now I am as , happy as I can be over the good that Tanlac has done me," said Mrs. Magr gie Greene, of 1219 Avenue A, Ensley, Ala. "For a long time I suffered from indigestion and stomach trouble," she continued, "and had grown so weak from loss of energy that I really took no interest in anything. I would suffer for hours from gas on my stomach that made me dizzy and gave me palpitation of the heart I fell off until I weighed only 95 pounds, and was so weak and run down I could not do any work about the house. I was so nervous that at times I trembled all over and I got so cross and fretful t -I was not like myself at all and was growing more despondent every day. "Nothing I took seemed to reach my troubles and I just went from bad to worse. My husband got a bottle of Tanlac for me, and as soon as I began taking it I started to improve and began to eat and my apr petite got better every day. The disagreeable fulness does not trouble. me any more after meals and I just feel fine. In fact, I do not know what it is to have a pain now. I sleep like a log at night, have gained 10 pounds and everyone tells me I look like a different woman." Tanlac, the master medicine, is , sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, Abbeville; A. S.

Neutrals Have Been Afraid of Gernanj up to the Present Time Germany's retreat along the western front is being accepted by the neutral nations of Europe, whoconstitute the only adaquate impartial observers left in the world, as the beginning of the Kaiser's inevitable defeat. America's collosal military strength which is accumulating overseas, is now exerting a profound influence upon all the neutral chancellories and is giving courage to them to defy the insolent outlaw of Berlin. \ The first neutral to snow unmis takably how tjie world outside # the | ' conflict regards the present plight of] the German militarists is Spain. The| demand by the Spanish government1 that Germany consent to the seizure of interned German to make good the! losses of Spanish vessels sunk by German submarines shows how Spain j feels over the situation. , Spain has played an opportunists part without the war. Spain has ^ tried to pick the winner in advance, but has hesitated as to the tide of battle fluctuated. Now, however, by challeging Germany's piratical rights at sea, King Alfonso's government demonstrates that the Spanish ,authorities believe Germany is going to lose the war. The meek acceptance of Spain's ultimatum by the Kaiser is within itself a confession that Germany I committed the greatest diplomatic j mistake in modern history when she refused to abide by a like ultima, turn from the United States, i It is impossible for the Kaiser's carmarflla to offer a satisfactory explanation to the German people con ' cerning this reversal of attitude. The malignant influence upon Germany morale will be extensive and loss of confidence in the judgement of those entrusted with Germany's future ,fate will certainly become evident.

KEYSTONE OF ENEMY LINE IN HANDS OF THE BRITISH French Trodps Are Again Advancing on City of Roye. Smashing through the German lines in battle field of northern Pic ardy, British troops have reached the western and northern outskirts of Bapaume, the town which has been considered to be the keystone of the enemy lines in that sector of the front. The official statement issued at London shows slow but continued progress in almost every part of the line from Croisilles, for to the north, to well below the Somme river. The British are advancing toward Beugnatre, two and a hr.lf miles ".crthcast of Bapaume nearer the Somme river they have moved eastward along the difficult ground borders that esteem. They are report-: ed east of Suzanne which is situat- ' ed on the northern bank of the river and are closing in on Dompierre which may be the pivot of the German lines south of the Somme in the direction of Chaulnes. French troops are once more advancing near Roye, the official statement issued at Paris telling of successes near St. Mard, about a mile south of Roye. Heavy German counterattacks were repulsed in this region. Betweep the Ailette and the Ainse the French have repulsed German counter-attacks and have advanced their lines about three quarters of a mile in the direct east of Bagneux. This advance should bring General Mangin's army nearly north of the town of Juvingy, which appears to I be important from a defensive point i of view. There is little indication, however, ! that the German armies are demoral? i ii i ii.i^ iL.i' I | :zeu in me oaiue ui?t is gvmg uu from Arras to . Soissons. At every point they seem to be fighting savagely and to be compelling the British and French t oextendthemselves to the limit. This resistance seems to be especially vigorous in the region of Crosilles and further north between the Cojuel and Scarped riv*>r where the British attacked recently. I DRINK HOT WATER" 1 : .

It Is a 1 splendid health measure for it is more j important to keep clean and pure on I the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing lnBide Is not new, as millions of people practice It Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

Paris, Aug. 27.?Lieutenant Schweiger, the man who sank the Lusitania, has been captured by a French patrol boat in the Mediterranean, according to La Journal. A large sub marine, of which he was second command, had just torpedoed a British steamer, between Malta and Sicily. The' German was waiting to see the vessel sink when two French patrol boats emerged from the fog and sank the U-boat. Of the crew only one officer and four men were rescued by the boats. ( While being taken to Toulon 'the officer appeared ill at ease. When he thought no one was looking he tried to throw some papers overboard, but a sailor seized his arm. He refused to answer questions but examination of the papers explained his uneasiness. Lo Journal asks if the man who committed the "most vile, the most barbarous and the most cowardly act in the annals of war" is merely to be sent to the prison camp. A dispatch from Toulon Friday which described the sinking of a German submarine in the Mediterannian patrol boats added that the mate of the submarine attempted to commit snio.irip wlipn hrrmo-Vif nn VinawJ nf rescue ship. The man appeared to be insane and is reported to have declared that the U-boat had torpedoed the Lusitania. Engraved Cards and Invitaions? The Press and Banner Co. II , ' / I , ALWAY.
