DOES IT PAY
TO BE SICK?

Let's forget about all the disagreeable
and painful part of sickness, and ask our
selves if it PAYS to be sick.
Perhaps you are only HALF sick
maybe you are dragging yourself around,
with dead tired" feeling. Perhaps you
wake up in the morning with heavily
coated tongue, bad taste in your mouth,
and hardly any appetite. Quite likely
you are bilious. Maybe you have dull
aches and pains, CONSTIPATION, head
aches.
You go about your daily duties. You
tell yourself you will feel better tomorrow
but when tomorrow comes you feel just
about the same. You try this and that
remedy, without getting real relief. Or
if you get some relief, it doesn't LAST!
You soon feel just as bad as you did before.
4DOES 1T PAY to let yourself stay in
this half-sick condition? Think of all the
ENJOYMENT of life you are missing:
You can't enjoy your food, or the society
of your family and friends. You can't
enjoy anything as you should, because
your senses are dulled and your brain
oppressed by the effects of SLUGGISH
LIVER.
Say, friend, does it PAY you to lug
around that sluggish liver when you can
promptly make it ACTIVE and so get rid
of all those depressing, disagreeable symp-
toms-by letting

WAR SITUATION.

The Germans, who are report
ed to have been heavily re-en-
forced recently on the western
front, are making determined
drives at positions in the Cham
Ipagne district which wereitaken
by the French in the September
offensive.
Capture of a French defensive
line some 500 yards in length on
Hill 1913, north of Souain. is an
nounced by the Berlin War Of
flee.
The captured position was held
against counter-attacks, it is de-
clared, and attempts by the
French to regain ground near
Auberive, the loss of which was
reported yesterday, were frus-
trated.
Paris declares fighting con-
tinues for the positions occupied
by the Germans in the Souain
region, and that progress was
made in ousting the Germans
from the Auberive trench. G.
In the Balkans Berlin Re ports
the capture of more than 1900
additional prisoners. With the
fall of Ipek, in Easterd Mont
enegro, previously announced,
more than eighty cannons were
taken and much war material
captured.
A Bulgarian attack on Decem-
ber 5 on the French bridgehead
at Demirkapou, on the Vardar
river, in Southern Serbia, was
repulsed, Paris declares, The
The French since have been re-
ported by Berlin to be retiring
along the Vardar and from the
Cerna river front.
Re.enforcements for the Brit
ish army in Mesopotamia were
sent before the battle of Ctesi-
phon, near Bagdad, and they al
ready are arriving at the front,
it is officially announced in Lon
don to. day. The British re-
treated after the battle to Kut-
el-Amara, 105 miles down the
Tigris from Bagdad.
Through German channels
comes the report that Montene-
gro recently expressed to the
Entente Powers a desire for a
separate peace, but that this pro-
possl was discouraged by the
Allies, who threatended to with
draw from all relations with
Montenegro.

EW YORK, April 16.-Jess VII
M lard is five and one half inches

met on April in the battle for the
heavyweight championship of the
world Willard stood about eight inches
taller than Johnson This may account
in part for Wizards victory.
Johnson crouches That crouch carries
him down at least two and one-half
inches, reducing his height TO five feet
ten inches. Willard rights in an upright
position taking fun advantage Of his
six feet six inches.
Johnson never had gone up against
man anywhere near the size of VIII
lard. Johnson fought most of his bat
ties against little men. Tommy Burns,
Frank Moran and Jim Flynn all were
smaller than the negro Jeffries was a
DIT taller, but the difference in size
was hardly noticeable. But with VIII
lard towering eight inches above him,
Johnson found himsef confronting a
situation that was new in the annals
OF pugilism.
Uppercut Was No Good.
JOhnson's main punches are a right
to the heart and a right or left upper
cut. Wizards height made the solar

getting at least a pair OF kilograms.
Every one was Of the collect nature
and each was about as long as the
joking ball players could make them
When the Maps dropped something
like 10 straight the jokers were hap

jCkers would send Joe a new and
longer telegram. Each was worded
something like this:

UNION MINERS
 BUY COAL LANDS
Bache-Denman Mines Will Be Operated on Co-operat-
 i've Basis.

Fort Smith, Jan. 1.-The criminal cases growing out of the difficulties in the lockout of the union coal miners in the Bache-Denman Coal company's plan were not set for hearing at the January term of the federal court, which began here today.
 The failure of Judge James Elliott of South Dakotaa, who will sit here this term, to arrive early today, pre- vented the setting of the cases.
 Negotiations are said to have been we'll advanced, whereby the miners union will take over by purchase the ownership of the mines which are closed, and the closing of which brought on the labor troubles in this section.
 None of the mine or union officials would discuss the matter, but it is stated that the agreement for the sale, if it is completed, will include the dropping of all suits and other charges against the miners by the present operators of the mines.
 The miners, it is understood, will operate the mines on cooperative basis, if the purchase is completed.
