Important Prescription
 For Stomach Troubles

This comes from reliable medical authority as being one of the most re- markable prescriptions of recent years as demonstrated in the results shown by its widespread use in hospital work and private practice. It Is said to give immediate relief for distress after eat ing. belching, sour stomach, dizziness and headaches. and if used for suffi- cient time will eradicate the worst dys- pepsia. Two ounces essence of Pepsin; three ounces syrup of Ginger; ;one ounce Catandir compound. Mix and use one to two teaspoonfuls after each meal and at bed time" Catandir always comes put up in one ounce sealed packages. Any druggist should have 1t in stock by this time or he will quickly get 1t from his wholesale house. For best results mix the Pepsin and the Ginger then let. stand about an hour before adding the Catandir. It will be more convenient to get the ingredients from the druggist and mix them at home. Those who have tried this are enthusi- astic over its prompt and effective action.

May Go:
Tomorrow

1t developed this morning that
the city council has no authority
to deny licenses for pool rooms.
SO the contemplated action killing
the Tunnel billiard and pool place
did not materialize.
But legislation will be put in at
a special meeting tomorrow that
will make 1t possible to end the
existence of the place.
Commissioner Petit moved
when the application for renewal
of the license came up that 1t be
denied.
Weeks said Stiles had told him
the council could not do It. Attor-
ney Baker was called. He said II
required an ordinance to give the
council authority and he was
drawing one.
Petit brought applause from
the galleries by declaring that at
all events he wanted to go on rec
ord against granting license to
anybody that has been shown to
be lawless.
1t looks as IL the Tunnel will be
eliminated tomorrow.
