His Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr. Dyspeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any
kind of food you desired without
injury? That may seem so unlikely
to you that you do not even hope
for an ending of your trouble, but
permit US to assure you that it is
not altogether impossible. If others
can be cured permanently, and
thousands have been, why not you?
John R Baker, of Battle Creek, Mich,
is one of them. He says, I was
troubled with heartburn, indiges-
ton, and liver complaint until l
used Chamberlain's Tablets. then
my trouble was over" Sold by all
dealers.

Please allow me small space in

heartfelt thanks to the many friends

have so kindly remembered me dur

were gladly received.
had the misfortune to be taken
sick last Sunday night with a
severe illness and suffered much for
two days and nights. On Monday
night Mr. William Reddick and his
good wife came to see me. They in
sisted on my coming up to their
house and staying until | got well.
l managed to get there Wednesday
in very feeble condition. | am
much better now; am still keeping
in my room, but hope to be out
before long. Mr. and Mrs Reddick
have done all possible to make me
comfortable. Mr. Martin and his
estimable wife have also lent willing
hands. In time of sickness we
know our friends. l had received
several invitations to take Christ
mas dinner out, but as Mr. S F Epps
was first to invite me. | went to his
house. 1t was next door to Mr.
Reddick's and, sick as | was, | could
not keep from going. l did not go
for the dinner, which was nice
one, good enough for king, and
served by faithful and willing hands.
| remained in that good company
for several hours and tried to seem
as not feeling bad. Sammy Epps is
a whole-souled and honorable man
and his daughters are such nice
little ladies'. Every one of them
that met me said l must be sure to
come to their house Christmas day.
l also received some nice presents
there. MIR Willie Dennis brought
me back to Mr. Reddick's, ,and, at this
writing, l am by warm fire in my
room.
Mr. Willie Dennis father, mother,
sister and her three children spent
Christmas day at Mr. Epps's. One
of their sons, Walter, is son-in-law
to Mr. Epps. l would like to say
all the good l could of that remark
able family, but l cannot express my
meaning as l would wish. Yes, a
very remarkable family. l say this
because l know them all, father,
mother, five sons and one daughter.
During the several years have as
sociated with those people have
never heard a harsh word of one
to the other or anyone else. They
do not use profane language or
vulgar expressions, do not drink,
come up to all their agreements
promptly, their word is their bond
and ask no favors. What an ex-
ample to look up to. Would that
all of our men had such qualities.
We must live with people to know
and to find them out. A man does
not know his wife until he has lived
with her a while.
l am still feeling poorly and will
not write much. | wish again to
thank all who so kindly remembered
me and hope they may all see many
more happy Christmas days. l was
kindly remembered by Mr. and Mrs

NOW.


Today golf. beginning as a society
fad in the United States. has become
a pastime at which a vast fortune. es-
timated as high as $50, 1000, 900, is spent
every year in the United States. There
are said to be more than zoe, 900 act.
i've players who are driving the gutta
percha balls over links whose combined
acreage in the United States is nearly
twice as large as the District Of Co
lumbia. Some of the American club
houses are veritable mansions; one in
the middle west has cost to date over
$750,000 for the golfing course, the
club house and the equipment The
exact amount of money reaped annu-
ally by the American caddies is not
definitely known, but it probably
equals the amount paid in Great Brit
ain, which is estimated at $12,500,-
000 Other items that go to make up
the annual tribute to golf are clubs
and balls. The value Of the clubs in
use is estimated at nearly 81 ,000. 900
while the balls are valued at over So
100000. Golf has spread throughout
the world In Europe there is scarce
ly country without its golf links and
players. Japan has one of the finest
courses in the world. Mexico is rap
idly becoming known for its links.
While all classes have taken to the
sport with enthusiasm, kings and
queens, not to mention the lesser
lights of royalty and the nobility, are
ardent deyotees. King Alfonso has
his private links in Spain and has
taught his English-born queen to play
the game. The German emperor, pro-
hibited by physical ailment from par.
ticipating in the sport, nevertheless is
an enthusiast and frequently follows
his son. the crown prince, about the
links at Potsdam President Wilson,
and his predecessor. Mr. Taft, are de-
voted to the game.

NEW TENNIS COURTS.
AT kAPI0LANl PARK
NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC

BertramsG Risenburgh, superintend
ent of Kapiolani Park, announced yes,
tertiay afternoon that the new tennis
courts which have been under CON
struction. at the park for the past sew.
eral weeks, now are completed and are
open to the public.
Persons desiring to use the courts.
says the superintendent, must observe
certain rules which, however, are not
stringent The players must furnish
their own racquets and balls and,
Whoa on the courts, win be required
to wear tennis or other rubber-soled
shoes. Two persons may not play
more than an hour at any one time.
Owing to the expected heavy demand
for the courts. it is thought that this
time limit may have to be reduced to
half an hour.
