.An Honest Tired Feeling

There is an "honest tired feel ing," caused by necessary toll and cussd by natural rest.
 But very different is "thGt tired feeling," from which so many com plain and which may even be chased as a disease.
 That tired feeling takes you to bed tired and wakes you up tired.
 You have no appetite, have bil- ious taste, dull headache, are ner- vous and irritable, blue, weak and discouraged.
 In such conditions Hoods Sarsa- parilla does a world of good.
 It begins in the right place-in the blood, purifying it and impart- ing vitality, then it's tonic effect is fels by the stomach, kidneys and liver; appetite comes back, all waste is removed naturally, headaches cease, that tired feeling departs and you feel like a new person. This has been the experience of thousands.
 It will be yours if you take

 the affair The crew was again lined up

The entire city of magnificent buildings all burned in less than four hours. The scene was one that beggars description.

Chicago, May 3.-A panic. the first real one since Phillips cornered the market, occurred among shorts in May corn on the Board of Trade today. Price fiuctua- tions were the most violent in years. Having seen their losses grow heavier and heavier with each succeeding day for some time, traders who had guaranteed to deliver May corn to Phillips made fran tic efforts to get 1t.
 The price went from 55 to 5S cents, AZ cents higher than yesterdays close. after few minutes, when the session began. Shorts surrounded the young bull leader and almost begged for corn. He was re- peatedly called from the pit by men who wanted to settle privately, but he told them they had disregarded his offer to sell to them at 4S cents and now they would have to bid in the open market to him.

TOM SHARKEY WINS
 ROUGH HOUSE FIGHT
Sailor Knocks Out Fred Russell in Fourth Round-littIe 
 Science Shown

Denver. Colo. May 3.-"Sailor'' Tom sharkey put out Big Fred" Russell. the California heavy weight pugilist. in the fourth round of what was scheduled to be a ten-round go, before the Colorado Athletic Association here tonight. The bout was characterized by rough and tumble tactics engaged in by both, sci- ence playing but little part. There was much clinching and rough work, and it seemed that each had a chance to win by landing a wild swing at any point of the fight. In the first round there was very little leading by either. They clincned and fought wildly and the referee had the greatest difficulty in separating them. In the succeeding rounds Russell endeavored to throw .Sharkey to the floor by main strength and succeeded in doing so several times.
 In the third roud Russell landed some good body blows, which seemed to knock the breath out of the sailor. He was groggy at the end of the round and If Russell had bored in he might have won the fight at that period. In the fourth round both men. after having been eau tioned by the referee that they must fight and not wrestle. started out to obey his instructions. It was not long, however. until they were clinching and holding and hanging on to each other with the re- fierce begging them to fight fairly Shar- key broke away from a clinch and as he did so landed right and left swings on RusselPs jaw, putting him down.. and as Russell arose Sharkey sent in the finish ing punch, half swing on the ear.
 Previous to the fight Referee Frank Cullen called all bets off because, as he said, the management of the club wished to protect themselves and their patrons. He gave the impression that it had been rumored that "deal' was on between the fighters. Both he and Manager Floti announced, however, that they were as sured that no arrangements had been made. Sharkey was a prime favorite up to the sound of the gong at odds of 211 to l, with a liberal amount of Russell money In evidence.

CORN KING PHILLIPS MAKES SHORTS BEG
 BUT HE ONLY LAUGHS

When reminded that he himself and the "open" market were synonimous, Phillips smiled.
 For an hour shorts bid 5S cents or close to it. Then Phillips let out 60o,OO0 bushels at prices ranging between 57land 5S He said 1t was only drop in the bucket compared with the quantity still held by him. but it netted him a profit Of about $10O0OO, or approximately II cents per bushel.
 This action created intense excitement. It was thought for a moment that the bull chief was about to unload and the market broke to 5S without check. The drop disposed of a number of scalping longs who had been clinging to Phillips speculative coat tails. Under 57 cents, however, Phillips said nothing. In con sequence prices reacted sharply to 561R, when traders realized that the end Of the corner was by no means at hand.

HALF OF WARES
 FINE IS REMITTED
Governor Reduces the Amount From $500 to $250
 Upon Petition.

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel. Montgomery, May s.--(Speclal. .)-Governor Sanford today remitted one-half of the fine recently assessed by the Montgomery City Court against Eugene Ware of Bir- mingham for assault with intent to mur- der Robert Jones.
 The case is well remembered by the readers of The Age-Herald. Ware entered a restaurant here last October while in an intoxicated condition, and shot Jones, there having been a previous difficulty in the room between the two men. There were several ladies ip the room at the time, and Mrs. Jones received a wound from Wares pistol When the case was called in the court few weeks ago, Ware plead guilty and was given a fine of $500 This was an agreed sum, but at the time the jury thought 1t too heavy and the judge had to instruct them to fix the fine as stated.
 Application was made to Governor Sam ford to have half the fine remitted. A petition to that effect was signed by the most prominent people of Birmingham who had known of the young mans ex- emplary life up to the time of his trouble It had shown that he had borne an ex- cellent character, that he had been an exemplary and dutiful son, that with heavy responsl' ''ites upon him. he had no other means be nd his salary as travel ing salesman. T request was heartily endorsed by Solicitor Lomax in a strong letter to the Governor.
 Mir. Jones also joined in with moving appeal for executive clemency. For all these reasons the Governor reduced the fine from $500 to s250.
 The Governor pardoned Henry S. Nail of Blounts County upon the recommends tion of Dr. Shirley Bragg, Physician In- spector and President Carmichael of the Convict Board Nail had served the greater part of his sentence. He suffered a sunstroke last summer and is now hopelessly i'll.

II there is any truth in the s,ying

ment of II can only be found in hea-

cerned, it is within easy reach; at
least measurably so. as far as cure will
go. The sum OF human misery in this
line is made up of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which afiiict mankind
are easy TO reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category
which, II taken in time, cannot be
