over 28 hours all but one of the thir-
teen defendants in the guaranty se-
curities mail fraud case in federal

nesday afternoon. Due to the prom-
inence of the defendants the trial at-
tracted nation-wide attention. The

quitted.

verdicts. Federal Judge J. W. Wood-
rough sentenced the defendants who

Confidence in Tanlac
Grow* with Every Test
Say* Former Nur*e
( Mrs. J. B. Terry 1101 Park St
£ Tort Worth Texas a nurse of
kmany years’ experience is another
who exemplifies her knowledge of
the merits of Tanlac by recommend-
ing the medicine to others.
Mrs. Terry has not only met with
pronounced success as a nurse but
■he is widely known for her ac-
tivities In church work and is highly
respected and esteemed by hundreds
®f people throughout Fort Worth.
“Some five years ago” said Mrs.
Terry ‘Tanlac put me on my feet
and built me up to good health fol-
.lowing a spell of typhoid fever and
it has done me so much good since
then that I never miss an opportu-
nity to recommend it either publicly
•r privately.
‘1 gave a statement praising Tan-
iac very highly at that time but if
anything I think more of it now than
I did then for every spring I have
taken from two to fonr bottles and
it never fails to renew my strength
■nd vitality. It gives me an appe-
tite relaxes my nerves and rids me
■of that tired sluggish lazy feeling
that comes with springtime. In other
words Tanlac tones me up in gen-
eral and makes me feel full of en-
ergy and go.
t “Furthermore my confidence in
’•Tanlac has been sustained by my
I experience as a nurse. During
|the 'flu’ epidemic three years ago I
nave Tanlac to all my patients as a
tonic and strengthener and it never
failed to help them wonderfully. I
had the best record of any nurse in
Fort Worth having nursed twenty-
five patients without losing a one.
Knowing what I do about Tanlac I
will always stand by it. I don't
know of anything that compares
with It.”
Tanlac is for sale by all good drug-
gists. Accept no substitute. Over
37 million bottles sold.
Tanlac Vegetable Pills are nature's
own remedy tor constipation. For
sale everywhere.

No Title Government Says.
The case was an inquiry into the
promotion of the Colonial Timber and
Coal Corporation organized by sev-
eral of the defendants with head-
quarters at Charleston W. Va. It
claimed a title in fee simple to ap-
proximately 700000 acres of land in
that state rich in timber oil coal
and gas.
The corporation bonded 148000
acres of the tract in the sum of $2-
000000 marketing a portion of the
issue through the guaranty securities
companies of three states and several
subsidiary banks which included the
now defunct Pioneer State Bank of
Omaha the Midland Savings Bank
of Lincoln the Farmers State Bank
of Collegeview. Neb. and the Denver
Colo. State Bank.
The government contended that the
defendants and the Colonial Corpor-
ation had no title in the fee simple
to the West Virginia lands and that
the defendants knew of its defective-
new.
97 PIGGLY WIGGLY
STORES AT CHICAGO
SOLD FOR MILLION
Money Will Be Used to
„ Liquidate Recent
Bank Loans.
Memphis. Tenn. May 17.—Confer-
ences between Clarence Saunders
president of Piggly Wiggly Stores
Inc. and members of the “pool''
which had been associated with him
in recent sensational activities of thi
corporation's stock continued today
uninterrupted by announcement last
night that the 97 units of the com-
pany in Chicago had been sold to
Chicago financiers.
Names of the purchasers were not
published by Mr. Saunders who de-
clared. in his announcement that the
price for the Chicago stores was “more
than a million dollars” and that the
terms were cash payable within seven
days. The sale was effected after the
adjournment overnight of the confer-
ence of members of the pooi.
Negotiations for the sale of further
holdings of the company in a number
of other cities were understood to be
in progress and early announcement
of some action along this line was ex-
pected today.
Proceeds from the Chicago deal and
prospective additional sales are to be
used in liquidating bank loans which
were made during the Piggly’Wiggly
stock flurry of several weeks ago
which resulted in catching “abort sell-
ers” in a jam and the later ruling of
the stock off the exchange.
The conference begun yesterday and
continued today relate to the dissolu-
tion of the pool and according to Mr.
Saunters' comment yesterday were
“progressing satisfactorily.”
