An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. Ii too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reach
es the advanced age of So or 80. you
will find that he is light eater.
Be as careful as you will, however,
you will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need OF
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct
the disorder. These tablets do not
contain pepsin, but strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.

CAMPAIGN IS
DRAWING NEAR
CAPTAINS NAMED FOR UNIQUE
CANVASS or CITY FOR sANI-
TARIUM FUNDS.
STARTS ON MONDAY
Each and Every Citizen of the Town
VIII BE Given Opportunity to
Contribute to This Most
Worthy Causc.

When the board of directors of
the sanitarium met last night four of
the members were promoted to the
captaincy of soliciting squads for the
whirl-wind canvass of Waxahachie
and Ellis county in an effort TO raise
funds for the erection of modern
fire-proof building at cost of sse.-
600. These were w A. Roberts, w.
M. Mincey. H. N. Naylor and Pat
Sims. You will therefore take no
|tice and address them as captain"
Each and every commanding officer
is proud of his title and will try TO
prove themselves worthy of the hon
ors thus conferred.
The soliciting battle begins prompt
ly at 3 O'Clock Monday morning, No
vember 81. Each of the above named
gentlemen will be in command of a
squad of picked men who will scour
the country, first in search of loyal
recruits who will rally around the
banner of a new sanitarium and then
weed out those who rebel against
this worthy and needed institution
for the comfort of suffering human
ity. The card system has been adop-
ted. and when contributions are
made the amounts will be recorded
on the cards bearing the donors
name and then filed for future ref
erence. The goal is 100000 and the
time Is limited to very few days.
1t was decided to take subscrip-
tions payable half cash and half in
one years time. To facilitate the
work blank notes have been prepar-
ed, one of which calls for the pay
ment of certain amounts on demand
and the other payable within year
The demand note will be used where
checks are not given in payment OF
the subscriptions made. 1t is the
purpose of the canvassing squads tc
see each and every citizen OF the
town, not overlooking a single one
for the new sanitarium should have
the support of an undivided people
1t is planned to have four solicit
ting squads assemble on the public
square on Monday morning, Novem-
Der 81, where, headed by the band
they will parade twice around the
square with each squad dropping
out at their station. At a given sig
nal the teams will start out prompt
ly at 9 O'Clock to capture the city
Chamber of Commerce rooms will be
headquarters for the tabulation Of
subscriptions and as rapidly as
1000 is raised by any one of the
teams, same will be bulletined on
the teams bulletin board at the cor
ner of the courthouse yard. In this

and the ends so far have been able
to catch them remarkably well for
their practice.
The Waxahachic team and its sup
porters had rather beat Oak Cllff
than any high school team In the
state. In fact Oak Cliff is consid-
cred about the best high school team
In North Texas. Without the sup
port of the high school and all low
ers OF clean sports Waxahaehic has
no chance to beat the pigskin
chasers from Oak Cliff.

will be plenty of thrilling plays from
the moment the referees's whistle

Captains Choose Teams.
This afternoon the four captains
will meet and choose their team
mates for the big scrimmoge next
Monday. II was openly announced
that the line up would include some
of the ladies of the town as well ms
the men who have the sanitarium on
their hearts. These teams will DC

While the campaign is beina
waged in Waxahachie effort will also
be made to have a general campaign
go on all over the county. Commit
tees have been named in each and
every precinct and subscriptions will
be taken from all who feel a kind
ly interest in an Ellis county santa
rum. Already hundreds Of people
scattered over the county have been
greatly benefited by the local SAM
tarium and it is believed that there
are hundreds of outsiders who would
really like to have part in the
erection of a modern building here

the county for years to come, one
that would turn the tide of santa
rum trade this way.
A captain of each community com

STAGE IS SET FOR
SEASONS BEST GAME
OAK CLIFF AND WAXAHACHIE
HIGHS WILL PLAY AT JUN
GLE PARK FRIDAY.
Fouts' Team Comes Here Undefeatcd
During the Season and Tonted
as the Fastest Team in
All North Texas.

Without doubt the best game OF
the season will be that played at
Jungle Park Friday afternoon at 4
D. M, when the Waxahachie Highs
meet the Oak Cliff Highs.
Report comes that the Oak Cliff
Highs are in the finest of trim.
Coach Fouts has kept them up to
the highest efficiency all the year
and has been able to win over every
team he has met by a decisive score.
The Oak Cliff team is an ideal type
for high school team. 1t combines
weight with unusual speed.
No team this year has been able to
successfully hammer Oak Cliffs line
for any great gains. but the line is
not the place where Oak Cliff shines.
She makes gains on end runs and
forward passes almost at will. Her
forward pass is really dangerous, for
Smith is able to shoot the ball thirty
to fifty yards whenever he so de-
sires, and the two ends rarely miss
catching the ball.
Waxahaehies team is in the best
condition it has been in this year.
To be sure the rains this week have
interfered with practice somewhat,
yet the men have been loyal in COM
inc out to practice regardless of the
weather. Not single man will start
into the game except in the best OF
condition. Waxahachie's line is un-
usually heavy, not even the Sherman

Mrs. Seabrook intended to go with
her husband when he left, but her

his permission, for fear the steamer
would be sunk by German submar-
inc. At last, however, she has secured

OPINION IS DIVIDED
ON A NEW PASTOR

LONDON, June Opinion as to the
choice of a successor to the Rev. r. J.
Campbell DIS pastor of the City Temple
appears to be about equally divided
among the members fthe congrega-
ton between DR.. ]. H. Jowett, of New
York, and DR.. Joseph Newton of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. The deacons have rec
commended DR.. Jowettf. DR.. Newton is
to preach at the Temple during the
month of July.
Whoever is chosen will be warmly
welcomed, both as mark of gratifica-
ton at seeing the pulpit filled once
more and because of the final break
ing of the protracted deadlock as to a
successor to Mr.. Campbell.
Since the latter's departure con-
gregations have fallen off by 80 per
cent and the famous Thursday midday
service has been abandoned.
Meanwhile genuine interest has been
aroused in ecclesiastical circles
throughout the country by Mr.. Camp
bells announcement that he will state
his reasons for leaving non-conformity
to reenter the Church of England.
Since reentering the Church of Eng
land hehas privately and publicly re-
fused to be drawn into any sort of
statement OF his reasons for SO doing.
In maintaining silence he has given as
reason his reluctance to provoke
acute difference of opinion.
1t was recent episode at session
Of the Congregational Union witch
prompted Mr.. Campbell's determination
to make a statement. The subject of
the validity of the Congregational min
istry was under discussion and DR.. J.
d. Jones, now the recognized leader Of
British Congregationalism, suggested
that Mr.. Campbells action had been
construed as reflection upon the
status of Congregational ministries. At
the same time he limited to Mr.. Camp
bell that it was expected of him to
affirm frankly that joining the Angl-
ician Church and submitting to reord-
nation did not imply amy doubt as to
the validity of his former Congrega-
tional orders.
Mr.. Campbell forwith announced his
intention to issue an explanation.
