Attacked by Bandit.

Thomas B. Chambers of 2019 South
jefferson avenue, drug clerk, was
attacted by bandit who was hiding in
the rear of the store of William Laun-
mann, 21OO South Jefferson avenue,
where Chambers is employed, as he
closed up the pharmacy at 1870 O'Clock
last night As the bandit ran from the
store Chambers fired three shots at
him.
Chambers suffered deep lacerati0n
on the back of the head, but his condi-
ton is not considered serious.
While Chambers was closing up the
store he heard noise in the rear of the
store. On investigation he was con-
fronted with the bandit, who was we'll
dressed and wore fancy black and
white striped vest. The bandit struck
Chambers on the head, after which he
ran from the store.
Chambers grabbed revolver from
the counter and followed the bandit,
firing three shots. None of them are
supposed to have struck him.
The man earlier in the evening, used
a telephone in the rear of the pharma-
CIV. He is thought to have unlocked a
rear door, through which he entered
later, as the clerk was preparing to close
the store.

SYMPTOMS.
Slight Symptoms Sometimes Pre-
sage Serious Results.

Do you feel tired, have you sallow
complexion, constipation, headache,
bad breath, sleeplessness or circles
around your eyes? If so, you are I'M
doubtedly suffering from some liver
complaint.
Perhaps you don't feel very badly
now, but delay is dangerous. To allow
your liver to continue not of order is to
invite serious chronic illness.
Whenever you have the slightest
symptoms of liver trouble, stop it i'm
mediately. You can do it harmlessly
and mildly by taking LIv-VER-LAX, the
natural vegetable compound that is re-
placing calomel everywhere. 1t has all
the effectiveness, not the effect OF Gallo
mel. Insist on getting the original LIv-
VER-LAx, bearing the likeness and sig
nature of L. K. Grigsby, which is guar
anteed to give satisfaction or money re-
funded. For sale at divers Red Gross
Drug Store.-Adv.

cities and towns with manufactures.
Request for Endorsement of bill
to establish two industrial schools,
one in East and one in West Tonnes
see, in addition to the main school,
Nashville, was not concurred in I'M
less these additional schools could
be maintained with as little cost as
to enlarge and conduct the school
already established.
The committee reported the adj
visibility and plans for establishing
credit bureau in conjunction with
the Business Mems Club. DR. Little
made a motion that the chair ap-
point committee of three to formu-
late plans and to take the matter be-
fore the business men of Union City

invited to be present and address
the club at the banquet, and this
was referred to the entertainment
committee with recommendations.
Mr.. Bass, president of the Tennes-
see branch of the T. P. A., was pres
ent and invited to speak. Mr.. Bass

cial dispensation, this being the
smallest post in the United States.
Mr.. Bass mentioned the fact that
we had 70 members and everyone
of these would be constituted a
booster for Union City, of whom
there are no better on earth. The
r. P. A. is an influential body, and

operate with the people wherever
posts are stationed.

finance committee will conduct the
campaign and be ready soon to an
nounce the plan of operations.

ing odors.
The Material Of the Housedress
Bingham, chambray and percale are
the staple fabrics for these dresses,
but someone who desired to simplify
matters still further, decided that
plain white soiled no quicker than
starched Bingham or chambray; that
soft, white Gotten crepe, which wash.
es so easily, requires no ironing, does
not wrinkle and is fresher looking,
was more practical for these dresses
than the old time fabrics which re.
quire starch and careful laundering.
OF course, many an old time house
wife laughed at the idea and consid-
cred the very thought of house work
in white ridiculous, but many have
taken 1t up and find cotton crepe,
whether in pure white, or patterned
in color, a most satisfactory and prac-
tical material for the work dress.
Popularity Of the smock
The gardening fad, which took
strong hold upon the fancy of the
city dweller and the suburbanite, this
summer. was responsible for the in
PRODUCTION of the smock. 1t has be-
come decidedly popular with house
keepers and promises to find per-
manent place in the wardrobe. These
smocks are fashioned of dark blue
linen, chambray, duck and similar
materials, often trimmed WITH smock-
ing in contrasting thread. They are
especially practical to slip on over an
afternoon frock when there Is some
slight task to be performed which
might possibly result in spot or
stain on the gown. The woman who
delights in regilding picture frame,
or Frightening up piece OF furniture
will also find them convenient, as
