Digestive organs become weak, there is

mouth, constipation, pain in limbs,
sleeplessness, belching of gas, biliousness,
sick headache, nervousness. dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
II your appetite is tickle, and nothing
tempts you, or you belch gas or il you
feel bloated after eating, or your food lies
like lump of lead on your stomach, you
can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one cause

Prove to yourself, after your next meal,
that your stomach is as good as any,
that there is nothing really wrong. STOP
this fermentation and begin eating what
you want without fear OF discomfort OF
misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for you.

Although the court sifted the evidence

did not conceal this fact from the

remedy. but everybody who reads lie
newspapers must see that wrong
exists and a remedy is needed.
Only a few days ago a murderer
In Richmond who should have had
pcnitentlary sentence. at least. went
scot free. He had no unwritten law
or brain storm plea: he had shot
down in cold blood man consider
ably smaller than he. whom he haa
aggrieved and who had struck MN
with his open hand. Self-defense was
the excrse he offered and it was ac-
cepted by the jury.
Yesterday. In Greensboro, \. T.,
Daniel Collie, a man who knew that
his own son had been struck down
Just outside of his house by his
brother-in law and wto allowed the
boy to lay on the ground all night to
be found dead the next morning, was
set free. Hiram Elicit, who admitted
striking the fatal blow and leaving
his injured brother-in-la to die. got
of with five years in the penitentiary.

for next Sunday was brought to the

PADDY RYAN
WILL REFEREE

Joe Cohen has made ten-strike. He
has arranged with Paddy Ryan, not
only to referee the coming bout be-
tween Smith and Reilly, but to act as
official referee for all his goes.
To the sporting public this will be
very welcome news Without mention
ing instances one can recall several re-
cent decisions that might have been
improved on, but none of them were
due to Paddy's spiel.
An oldtimer in the game, a close
follower of the game and a true lover
of the game, Paddy is the ideal man
for a referee. He watches closely, sees
what is going on, stands for no monkey
business and hands the decision to the
right man in every case. With Paddy
the third man in the ring the fans may
be sure, not only of a square decision,
but that there will be nothing else
doing. When that old Irish eve gets
busy it misses very little and the fans
may be assured that they will see real
boxing when Patrucio di Ryano makes
them get busy.
