BULLBATS BUT
PAID FOR FUN
THREE YOUNG MEN ENJOYED AN
AFTERNOON OF SPORT BUT
PLEADED GUILTY WHEN Ar
RAIGNEp FOR VIOLATING STATE
LAW AND COSTS WERE EXACT
ED IN CRIMINAL COURT.

"Bullbats," those great American
birds, placed in the Chordeiles Vlr-
ginus class by biologists, have the pro-
lection of Florida statutes, and par
ty of young men who enjoyed an af-
ternOon OF sport" recently near
Myrtle Grove had reason to learn that
this was so yesterday when they each
entered a plea Of guilty to killing
some of them L. Steinmeyer, a fur
niture man; H. Graham. a loan office
man, and B. MedlOck, an adopted son
Of Sheriff Van Pelt, were those con-
cRTned. Steinmeyer and Graham
were sentenced to pay the costs of
prosecution, which amounted TO $3.50
in each case, or serve 20 days in the
county Jail. The costs were paid.
Medlock was sentenced to pay costs
or spend ten days in Jail. Out of
consideration of the boys age and his
confession that he only took one
shot, but didn't hit EN-" the judge
suspended sentence in his case. IN
the case of another defendant named
Morgan, a mol pros was entered. An
other defendant named MCNEIL, who
was not in court for sentence yes

against him

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
Il have been a coffee drinker for SO
years and have often thought that |
could not do without it, but after
many years of suffering with our ma =
ticnal malady, dyspepsia. 1 attributed
it to the drinking Of coffee, and after
some thought, determined to use
Postum for my morning drink
4 had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg
and found it just suited my taste.
At first / used it only for break
fast, but I found myself getting so
much better, that I had it at all
meals, and / am pleased to say that
IL has entirely relieved me of indi-
gestion. I gained 10 pounds in 4
months and my general health is
greatly improved.
4 must tell you of a young lady in
Illinois. She had been in i'll health
for many years, the vital forces low.
with but little pain I wrote her Of
the good that Postum did me and ad-
vised her to try it.
AT the end Of the year, she wrote
me that Postum had entirely cured
her, and that she had gained 40
pounds in weight and felt like her
