Best Stomach

It is an old saying that if the stom-
ach is sound the whole body is safe,
because SO much depends upon the
proper working of the stomach. Many
persons find themselves with dis
order of the stomach which pro-
duces dyspepsia or peculiar state OF
biliousness.
If you suffer from both stomach trouble
and constipation you are on the way to a
very serious disc e. From just such con-
ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism,
skin diseases and similar disorders, De-
cause the waste matter that should nave
the bowels has found it's way into the
blood and vitiated 1t. What is needed at
this point is not simply violent catnartlc
tablet or SALT which usually does more
harm than good, but gentle laxatl.ve an.s'
which people have been using for these
ailments for nearly a quarter OF CEN
tury. 1t cured J. G. Lanham, OF War

standing also William Voll of 903 Ellis

President Ussery's First Bulletin

Every player who participates in a
Blue Grass League game of ball next
season, will have to havegs affixed his
signature to contract with the club
with which he is playing, otherwise
the game will be liable to protest.
Many clubs played men nearly all of
last season with whom they did not
have contracts, so that this new rule
will cut quite figure next season.
DR.. w. G. Ussery, the new President
of the league, has written to all of the
clubs in the league calling their atten-
tiOn to this rule. DIR. Ussery writes
Il am in receipt of official bulletin
No. for 1910 copy of which is here
with enclosed. The secretary of the
National Association calls my attention
to article Is, which was adopted at the
recent Memphis meeting Of the Nation
al Association, and requests me to call
the particular attention of ,cub presi-
dents and managers to the same arti-
Gle. As youiwill see by reading the
notice player who has not signed a
contract is Ineligible to participate in
even one game without the game be-
coming subject of protest. The word
shall is used. which makes it manda-
tory upon the part of the executive
officer, which officers in our league are
the directors and president, that all
such games shall be thrown out if won
by the offending club, but allowed to
stand if lost. In addition to the pen
atty, the player who has not signed a
CONTRACT before taking part in the
game is invited to appeal to the Ma
tional Board for his unconditional re-
lease. This rule seems to prohibit our
practice the past season of using
player as long as fifteen days without
signing him tOsa contract.
The National Secretary also directs
me to inform all clubs to promptly
send all contracts, transfers and re-
leases direct to him.
'The assessment of December ],
was due December Is On January rs.
1910 the constitutional assessment of
$25 will be levied. Don't let the two
run together.

Demand for Recount on Good
Road" Amendment.

Mutterings of discomfort on the part
Of the leading politicians in the Wes-
tern Kentucky counties have reached
Frankfort over the result of the count
ing OF the vote on the GOOD Roads
amendment 70 the constitution. That
contest will be filed before the Leg
islature or legal battle sprung in the
Courts seems almost certain. and the
bone of contention will be the vote in
Graves county.
The desire of the Western Kentucx-
ians is that the dec ision of the Elec-
tion Commission be set aside and the
vote of Graves and the other counties
that went against tne amendment be
counted, and that the vote of some OF
the mountain counties that went sc
overwhelmingly for the bill be investi.
gated.
The general opinion prevails al
Frankfort that the Legislature viii
vote overwhelmingly in favor of the
amendmentsof the constitution and the
passage of an income tax law.
