RELATIVE'S ADVICE BESTS OPERATION To be chanced to the feeling. "I ran do: as hard a day's work as any Woman in Asheville," after suffering untold agonies for nine -weeks, during which time she says: "I could not draw a long breath," is -what Mrs. A. Cole, of 278 College street, loudly claims Tanlad worked for her. Mrs. Colo's early ailments were sick, nervous headaches, "instead of being: relieved by the taking of various rem edies," she said, "it seemed as i my condition grew worse. Day by day my torments increased until I was claimed a victim of severe pains in the left side. Though I had good treatment nothing prescribed for inc brought relief. "I was told that an operation was necessary. "I resolved not to undergo any sur gical performances. It was at that time that Tanlac came to Ashevillc. Members of my family said they would pet Tanlac for me, to which informa lion I replied: 'You'll be getting- it for 'yourselves If it comes in this house.V "Well. I'm glad to say, they brought faiilao and I took it. "About the third day the pains had llmost left me entirely. In a week i ft'ati again able to breathe long and freely. The headaches have gone and r feel better in every way. I can do us hard a day's work as any woman in Asheville. I offer my story so that others may bo helped for I feel Tanlac is the greatest medicine yet" Tanlac acts directly on the stomach and bowels, expelling from them the impurities and restoring them to a strong, healthful condition. Thousands of nervous and rundown men and women throughout this coun try are daily being benefited by this highly rndorsed .reconstructive tonic, appetizer and invigoi-ant.

URGES INSPECTION, HEALTHNURSING Dr. Reynolds Appeals For Con servation of Health and Morals of Children. THE "GREATEST ASSET" IN ARDEN CASES Evidence In Cases Concluded X This Morning and R. R. Williams First Epeaker. REACHES JURY TODAY. AiERTY'S ARREST PLEASES OFFICER Man Who Gave Galloway the Slip Is Re-Arrested at Blockade 'Still. In the letter that follows Dr. Carl V. Reynolds makes an appeal to the people of Asheville, and especially io the women, to arouse public opinion in behalf of school inspection and the work of a "follow-up nurse." In the current issue of The Municipal Bulletin the city health ofticer calls attention to the fact that the work of any city health department de- ponds for its success, in the end, on the support given by the citizens themselves. This communication to the editor of The Times is an applir cation of that belief of the doctor's and as such speaks for itself: The Letter. 1 "Despite a whirling snow storm, a large gathering of Asheville's enthu siastic women, with an occasional man, met In the Battery Park ball room, Saturday, February 26, to re ceive a message from Miss Emma hillips Crandall, field secretary of the. National Organization of Public Health Nursing! "The subject, 'Public Health Nurs- ng,' was thoroughly reviewed, and handled In a very pleasing manner by the gifted speaker, and those in at tendance were well repaid for their efforts. "It was indeed gratifying to know- that Asheville was well abreast with the most advanced municipalities in ealth work. Asheville was remiss )n ut one department, namely, school spection and the 'follow-up nurse.' "It would be unfair not to say that chool inspection and the 'follow-up urse' have been repeatedly advocat ed for years, and the false idea of expense has been our stumbling block base this opinion on the fact that the nation's greatest asset Is its peo ple, and this asset Is best conserved through health and education, lessen- ng immorality, poverty and crime. Man's standard is, as a rule. measured by the dollar; ; woman's tandard is, as a rule, based on love loving service to her fellowman. "It has been proven that school m- pectlon followed up does render a uble service in that it perfects the child, and Is .an economical expend!- ure of th- city's funds. 'I take it that the commissioners ealize the need of a modern high chool. and welcomed the people's oice in passing the bond Issue. 1 ikt it that the commissioners are heartily in accord with the value of school inspection, and if the good women, by their loving service will so enkindle public opinion that man see the wisdom In making the supposed monetary sacrifice and so petition tho board, we will have the necessary equipment for school In- pection to be properly carried out nd followed up. (Signed) "C. V. REYNOLDS, M Each Side Allowed One and One-Half Hours For Argu ments in the Cases. A short news item in anothrr col umn tells of the capture of two men nnd the destruction of an illicit 'still on. Saturday by Deputy Collectors John M. Newton and J. A. Galloway but the account of the satisfaction which the arrest of ono of these al leged blockaders brought to Mr. Gal loway is another story. Will llaggerty of liosman, who with Montgomery Chappelt of South Caro Una, was at the plant when tho othcers unexpectedly made their appearance, outran Galloway a year ago In the mountains of Transylvania and had up to Saturday kept the liberty earned by his agility in speeding over a rough course. Having been taken in custody by Mr. Galloway in January. 1915, Hag. gerty was walking along a mountain road with the otlieer, the prospect of spending the night In llrevard jail staring him rather conspicuously In the face when suddenly a fine gray squirrel dashed across the road In front of Uncle Ram's sleuth and his man. Tho instlncta of the woodsman and hunter overcoming the acquired caution of the revenue officer, Gallo way yelled: "Catch that squirrel Will!" Will took the oincer at his word and disappeared In the woods, Will has long had. the reputation of being the crack sprinter In upper Transylvania county and the lead thus gained on the representative of the federal government was all that he desired. Haggcrty claims that he treed the ruuirrcl and called Galloway to help him twist It out of a hollow log; hut the officer says that when ha reached the scene Hnggerty was nowhere to be found.

An enlarged map of western North Carolina displayed in the windows ot the board of trade oftlces marks the consummation of plans set on foot ulmost three years ago by the trade organization and is considered one of the most important accomplishments of that body for the development tf western North Carolina as a resort center. In all the years that this city has advertised itself as a playground for the tired people of the earth need cf road maps and Information as to routes has been keenly felt. By per. sistcne and patience the data offer. ed to the public this year Is complete aud comprehensive beyond anything ever undertaken before. In preparing this map, which will appear In the southern edition of the Automobile Blue Book as well a In the Western Carolina Map and Tour book, the board sought the aid of county engineer in this territory and that of state Engineer Falll and Dl rector Brown of the Good Roads a snclatlon. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, sec retary or the Association and state geologist, embodied the Idea In the map and tour book and ha given much time and effort to ths enter prise. The topographical map published by the United Htates Geological sur vey, with which Dr. Pratt is thor oughly familiar by reason of hi con nection of that service have been used and ar of course, entirely reliable. Th -western Carolina ook I ex- pected to com from th printer in about 10 days. With the conclusion of the testi mony offered by tho state in rebuttal in the Arden cases in Superior court this morning, R. K. '.Williams of counsel for the prosecution started his argument to the jury. He was followed by A. Hall Johnson for Rlckman and Mark W. Brown for .Miss Pressly, all of whom had finish ed when court recessed for noon. It is expected mat the case will reach the Jury before the adjournment this afternoon at 6 o'clock. Judge -TV.' P. Harding presiding, announced this . morning that he would limit each side to one and one halt hours for arguments and-that ho would take half an hour for his charge. The order of . speaking Is as follows: Williams, Jones and Swain for the state; R; M. Wells, J. Scroop Stylos, Mark W, Brown and A. Hall defendants. .Immediately'' following the conclu sion of the evidence at II o'clock ut tonieys for the defendants renewed their motions for a non-suit, but the court again overruled this motion and Attorney Williams started his argument. This morning Judge Jones of coun sel for the state introduced letters written by Miss 1'ie.ssly and Hick man as evidence in the ca.se. Mrs. D. P. Lance was called by the state and testified to the fire which burn ed her husband's warehouse. She told of carrying out goods and told where they were placed. L. E.. Revls was recalled and contradicted sever al statements made by the defendants while on the stand.' Yesterday Afternoon. Most of the afternoon session yes terday was devoted to the examina tion and cross-examination of Miss Myrtle Pressly, one of the defendants n the case. Sho denied that she had heard or had seen the letters that Mr. Lance received until she saw them at the trial. Tho defendant made much of the attempts of Sher- n Mitchell and others to get a con fession from her while she was In ail. She entered a strong denial to all the charges, swearing that she knew nothing whatever about the case. At the suggestion of counsel for the prosecution she wrote a note, under dictation, which was introduced as evidence, as a sample of her handwriting. The last witness for the defendant. the father of the Pressly girl, was on the stand only a short time. He stated that he was called to the office of Judge Jones and a proposition was made to him whereby he could se cure Immunity for his duughter ii she would confB.;. although ho stated that the attoiney told hint that ho did not want tho girl to tell a lie or swear falsely. The witness stated that his daughter would not hear to the proposition, stating that sho told hini she had rather stay in Jail than to swear falsely. Evidence for the defendant Press ly was materially strengthened when Miss Mary Adams, a school teacher of Arden went on the stand and swore that the notes which Mr. lance received were not In the handwriting of the Pressly girl, The girl was for merly a member A Miss Adams' class.
