"I have been afflicted with stomach
trouble and Indigestion for some great

alarmed.
"Too. my nerves were bad any
sudden noise or trivial excitement
would completely upset me. Pains
would tlark me in the region of my
kidneys and I often found in m 1 f

mostly while walking.
"Sleeplessness and tlmf general
worn-out feeling made It difficult for
me to Interest myself in matters im
portant to me.
"Then came Tanlac, after T had
tried other preparations without suc

supposed. I am better In every wim

Judge Thomas A. Jones of this city,
delivered an inspiring address which
aroused the patriotism of the people
of Skyland to a remarkable demon
stration of loyalty at a meeting held
in the Methodist church there last
night. The building was completely
filled and many were unable to se
cure admittance.
The church was splendidly decor
ated with the colors and one of the
most impressive incidents of the meet
ing was when the entire audience
stood and took the oath of allegiance
to their country and pledged their
loyalty to the president.
War, said one of the speakers has a
distinct meaning for the people of
Skyland, for six of their hoys have
already enlisted and there are still
more ready to follow.
Harry Kettles acted as chairman of
the meeting. The. first song was "The
Star Spangled Banner," and this was
followed by an invocation Dy Kev. w.
W. Edwards. Then came the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic," which was
followed by the principal address of
the evening, by Judge Jones. Judge
Jones, always an able speaker, last
night was Inspired by hiB theme and
aroused his audience to an unusual
demonstration.
The school children of Miss Watts
gave "No Flag LJke Ours," and Rev.
J. Bra nerd Thrall of tnis city, aeuv-
ered a splendid address. Then came
the old song, "Columbia, the Gem of
the Ocean," and "America." The con
cluding speech of the evening was by
W. W. Edwards The beautiful decor
ations In the church were placed there
bv Miss Harriett Krany and Mrs.
Hazel McFarland of Philadelphia,
Miss Emllie Vaughan and A. B. Case.
WEAVERVILLE ROAD
STREWN WITH TACKS
Dozen Automobiles Rendered Helpless
When Tacks Puncture Their Tires
and Detectives Are Busy.
riainclothes men are seeking the
person who yesterday placed tacks
along the Weavervllle road and thus
put a dozen automobiles out of com
mission. One big car had all four
tires filled with the tacks and so bad
ly damaged that they were rendered
worthless.
The tacks, or roofing nails, were an
Inch in length with a broad head,
making them admirably adapted for
their illegal purpose of puncturing
automobile tires, but at the same time
affording the detectives a clue which
they believe will result in severe pun
ishment for the guilty nerson or per
sons. There were a large number of
the tacks placed along the highway,
as Indicated by the unfortunate car
owner who came into Asheville with
four large tires completely ruined.
The tires seemed to be well-JUled with
the little nails.
To plaoe tacks, or nails: or broken
glass in a highway is an offense pun
ishable with the most severe penal
ties, officers said last night, and there
will be no relaxation of their efforts
until the guilty persons have been
discovered.

AFTER LONG ILLNESS
WASHINGTON. Apnl 1 Vice
Admiral Browning, of t lie British
navy, and Hear Admiral lieGrasse, of
the French navy, conferred today with
Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben
son, chief of operations, on eo-opera-lion
between tile allud navies for the
conduit of the war
commanders came to If
on their flagships. '
Will Kolk'ir A III.-.
The first step by the I'niled l.ites
navy in taking up it pan of t ho war
operations will be to i;ike over Ihe
Atlantic and Caribbean patrols here
tofore maintained by Itntiah and
French ships. No announcement of
the results of the conference wai
made.
Eventually American ships proba
bly will relieve those of the allies in
all North and South Atlantic waters
on this side of the world. Protection
would be furnished under that plan
for the Canadian coast and also for
British oil tankers plying to ports on
the Mexican and South American
coasts.
No Agreement.
There are indications (hat the
t'nited States does not now contem
plate any hard and fast agreement as
to the measures of co-operation. What
is done will be determined by the
needs of the situation and the ability
of the navy to carry out a particular
part of the program. As the strength
of the American fleet increases in
small craft, submarines, destroyers
and other lighter units, the portions
allotted to that fleet in the Joint task
of making certain the freedom of the
seas against German submarines will
be increased.
It la assumed the visiting officers
furnished much first hand informa
tion as to the steps the'entente pow
ers have found most effective in deal
ing with the submarine" peril.
It was said the officers came pri
marily for conferences with the en
tente ambassadors, but It Is expected
that much of their time will be spent
In conference at the navy department.
No announcement was made as to the
piobal.le length of their stay In Waih-ington.
SECRETARY WILL
FIOHT FOR VIEWS
Hearings on Measure Will
Be Continued Plans For
Volunteers Considered.
WASHINGTON, April IS. All men
who enlist in the regular army or the
national guard in Ihe present emer
gency were assured In an announce
ment by Secretary laker today that
they would be kept In service only for
the period of the w:ir Tlw. licit, in fnl-
Hoih foreign lowed a conference between the secre-
l 'nitrd ritales ; tary and President Wilson.
Ill effect this places on a wartime
volunteer basis all of the men enlisted
since the state of war was declared.
It makes available a total of ;,l7.Kfix
places in the enlisted grades of the
two services to men who wish to serve
for the war only.
Mr. Baker laid slress on the fact
that this action was content plated
when the administration 1)111 was
framed and was in no way to be con
strued as a compromise plan. The
secretary pointed out that the net re
suit or the application of the war
enlistment plan would be to leave the
nation without an army of any sort
regular or national guard, if the war
lasted beyond the enlistment forms of
men now in those services.
"I stand firmly and unalterably In
support of that bill," Secretary Baker
said, "without modification of Its least
detail."

Forces Needed.
Following Is a tabulation by the de
partment of the forces proposed to be
organized in the bill so arranged as
to show the exact number of volun
teers, to serve for the duration of the
war only, for which provision is made
In both the regular army and the . a
tional guard.
Regular army, exclusive of Philip

For War Kiillsjjiicut.
Under the law, the full enlistment
requirement for six years in the na
tional guard and seven years in the
regular service, must be signed by all
men taken into either service. The
pendln- bill provides specifically for
duration-of-the-war enlistment. To
meet the immediate situation, the oec
retary has directed that recruiting: 01
ticers assure men accepted during the
emergency that they will be honor
ably discharged at the close of the
war.
Army officers believe there wlO be
no difficulty in obtaining many men
of some military experience through
the present plan.
The door of promotion is wide open
to any man qualified to hold a com
mission even up to the grade of gen
eral officer, for the places of the 46,-
000 officers alone to be withdrawn
from the existing services for train
Ing purposes will be filled from the
officers reserve corps, from the ranks
or from the many officers' training
camps to be established.
The question of taking in additional
Increments of the national guard be
yond those already organized has not
been determined. There are sotme
reasons against such a step, since the
result would be merely to Increase
shortage of officers.
During the day the war department
called Into the federal service for po
lice protoctlon purposes nine regi
ments, a separate battalion and a
separate company of infantry and
seven companies of coast artillery. tlx
of the artillery companies re Califor

will serve as Infantry.

5 out of 9 on a Pullman
A random test yas recently
made in a crowded Pullman Club
Car and it was found that, of the
men who were smoking cigarettes,
5 out of 9 were smoking Fatimas.
' Probably an unusually high per
centage even for Fatimas; but this
case is merely one of the many
evidences that more and more
representative men are now-a-days
choosing a sensible cigarette.
They smoke Fatimas not alone
for their likeable taste but for
the common sense "man-comfort"
that they find in this delicately
balanced Turkish blend. Fatimas
please the throat and tongue while
you are smoking them and they
leave you feeling "fitn afterwards.
You don't have to think of "how
many" when you are smoking a
sensible cigarette like Fatima.
