"I've gained all of twenty-one
poundB since I began taking Tanlac,
and I feel just fine In every way," was
the remarkable statement made a
fow days ago by Mrs. Maggie Fox, of
East Thomas, Ala., when she was In
Birmingham, talking to the Tanlac
representative.
"I suffered for five long years,"
continued Mrs. Fox. "My stomach
was lu an awful condition and I could
hardly eat anything without Buffer
ing agony afterwards. I nevor en
joyed a meal during all that time,
and I was as nervous as a kitten and
couldn't stand any noise or excite
ment. I* got so weak I couldn't do
my housework and fell off in weight
until I only weighed ninety-five
pounds. I tried everything I ever
heard of and all sorts of treatments,
hut nothing did me any good, and I
just kept on getting worse and worse
until I bogan taking Tanlac.
"I was convinced that this medi
cine would help me after I had read
about and known bf so many people
that had been helped, and it certain
ly has done mo a world of good. 'My
appetite's splendid now and 1 can eat
anything I want without the least
bit of suffering, and I am as strong
and healthy as I ever want to be.
Why, I do all of my housework and
just feel fine and full of energy all
the time. Tanlac bas certainly been
a blessing to me. I'm glad to recom
mend lt to any one who has suffered
I\H I did, for T know it will bring the

THE FIRST U. S. WAR REPORT.
Cou. Pershing Issues First Direct and
<uncial Statement.
Washington, May 16.-Publication
to-day of the first American "official
communique" prepared at expedi
tionary headquarters in Prance inau
gurated what is expected to be a
dally report to the American people
on what their soldiers abroad aro
doing.
In giving out the text of the state
ment, Secretary Baker could not say
definitely that one would bo forth
coming dally hereafter. That rests
with Gen. Pershing, but Mr. Baker
Indicated his hopi; that thc expedi
tionary commander would find it
posisble to follow that course.
Very Uric* Statement.
As to the military situation in the
two sectors held by American troops
the communique was exceedingly
brlof. Increased artillery activity on
both sides, both north of Toul and in
Lorraine, were noted with tho com
ment "nothing else to report."
Army officers here hope that while
Gen. Pershing may as yet feel that
lt would bo Improper for him to Is
sue formal statements as to opera
tions where his forces are holding
sectors In French corps or army
fronts, he will bo able to follow up
to-day's practice and give detailed
accounts of events In which only
American troops are Involved.
Designation in the communique of
the flight for which 'Major Ralph
Royce was decorated 'by the French
army corps commander as the "first
Am?rican flight over the enemy's
lines" was taken hero as announce
ment that a complete American
squadron is now in operation at tho
front.
Much Dash Shown.
Officers saw In the official reports
of the raiding and scouting opera
tions signs of tho dash and Initiative
which they had expected the Ameri
can troops to show In action. They
are supremely confident that the av
erage American will play the game
at the front just as well as Ameri
cans have played all gamos.
The first American official com
munique issued since the American
troops entered tho fighting line on a
permanent basis was issued Wed
nesday night. It reports Increased
artillery activity northwest of Toul
and In Lorraine, as well as the de
struction of three German machines
by two American aviators. The state
ment reads:
"6 P. M.-Headquarters American
Expeditionary Forces: Northwest of
Toul and In Lorraine there was a
marked increase lu artillery activity
on both sides.
"To-day our aviators brought
down three German machines. Thero
is nothing else of Importance to re
port."
A second American official com
munique at 9 p. m. says:
"In Lorraine patrolling was active
and there was again an increase In
the artillery fire. Otherwise tho day
was quiet at all points occupied by
our troops."
