The Jacksboro Gazette,
Jacksboro, Texas.
Hon. W. G. McAdoo, Director
General of all railroads of the
United States has requested that
a special campaign be made by all
railroads in every way possible to
secure prompt release of freight
cars by shippers and receivers of
freight, in order that the rail
roads may immediately increase
their efficiency which is so vital to
the present needs of the nations.
As a matter of information I
am quoting below a portion of the
j order as issued by Director Gen-
|eral McAdoo on this subject:
“The strain laid upon the rail-
roads by the demands made upon
them for the transportation of
men, material and supplies neces
sary to the successful pursuance
of the war makes this appeal to
the patriotism of the users of cars
through the columns of the press
and otherwise, imperatively neces-
sary at this time as all other
of securing the desired ends have
failed. • ^
“It is suggested that the mat-
ter of securing newspaper public-
ity be placed in the hands of the
department of your Company in
charge of publicity for handling
with the editors of the papers lo-
cated at points on your line, who,
it is felt, will give the matter
prominent display in their papers
when they are informed of the
source from which this request
emanated, which in itself reflects
the importance of immediately
taking suggested aetion in ah ef-
fort to relieve the situation.!’
We are doing everything we pos-
sibly can to assist and at the same
time insist on the prompt loading
and unloading of all cars and un-
der all circumstances felt that
I you would be glad to make some
I kind of mention of the campaign
1 now under way and by so doing
render assistance to our nation.
Yours truly,
r A. F. Lanier.
Gains Twenty-One Pounds On
Tanlac and Health Is Again
Restored.
I have gained twenty-one
rounds and if you had seen me the
day I began taking Tanlac you
wouldn’t recognize me as the same
man now,” said Mr. Ed. Edwards,
320 23rd Street, Denver, Colorado,
a few days ago. Mr. Edwards is a
mechanic for the Union Pacific rail
road.
“Last fall,” continued Mr. Ed-
wards, “I took a trip up in the
country on a big truck, then I had
to walk nearly thirty miles in the
rain and mud. From this I con-
tracted grippe and I certainly had
an awful time. I kept going down,
until finally I had to give up and
was confined to my bed for forty
days, had to cut out eating entire-
ly and for a month I lived on
nothing but milk. I hardly knew
what sleep was and more than
half the time I had to prop myself
up in bed so I could get my breath.
I had awful headaches and such a
terrible cough that I had begun to
think my lungs were affected. No
kind of medicine did me any good,
“I have taken four bottles of
Tanlac and have never felt better
in my life than I do right now
and I wouldn’t take a thousand
dollars for the good these four bot-
tles have doflfe me. My appetite is
fine and I can ea and digest just
anything I want. I sleep like a
rock every night and my strength
has increased until I can do any
kind-of work that comes to hand.
Tanlac has done me so much good
that I feel almost compelled to
■praise it and I know several peo-
ple taking it now on accpunt of
what it has done for me.”
Tanlac is sold in Jacksboro by
J. H. Walters; in Perrin by W. A.
Wods; in Gibtown by Gibtown
Drug Co., and in -Bryson by E.
Hughes.—(Advertisement.)

Testimony like this can not be

R. C. Taylor, proprietor bottling

laid up for several weeks and was
in constant pain, as my kidneys
were in bad shape. I got a box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Young’s
Drag Store and was quickly cur-

Over Three Yean Later, Mr.
Taylor said: “I can still recom-
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills for I
consider them a good, reliable
kidney medicine.”
