"PUFFY- HOLMES CONES TO STAY
Old NJ. U. Baseball Catcher Returns
to Alma Mater as q Student.

If tradition holds true, the Tigers
should put Kansas to flight in foot
ball this year, because Walton, other
wise known as Puffy" Holmes has
arrived and the Tigers should feel
as though they had found the proven
bial horseshoe Tradition tells that
Missouri-Kansas games were always
Tiger successes when Puffy" and his
other harbingers of success were
present. Perhaps, here's hoping, this
will still hold true.
Puffy was a student in the Uni
versity in 'O6 and 'O7 and as a Varsity
baseball player was one of the best
catchers in the Missouri Valley Con-
ference. Since 1907, he has been en-
gagged in business in Kansas City
but not so strenuously as to neglect
roofing for Old Mizzou on every pos
sible occasion. No University could
boast of a more loyal alumnus than
Puffy"
Puffy" is now enrolled in the Uni
versity as a special student and in
tends to go out for Varsity baseball
in the spring. This fall, he is a
candidate for the position of head
cheer leader for the Tigers and says
that. If elected, he will use all his
pep" to make Missouri roofing fam
ous throughout the Missouri Valley.
There will be no passed balls, believe
me. Every one will go straight over
the plate,' says Puffy"

 Railroads also placed liberal contracts for track supplies, for 1860 cars and for 62 locomotives.
 Several large contracts for steel rounds aggregating about 100000 tons were placed for domestic shipment, and for export for various deliveries over 1917 and 250,000 tons additional are still pending. Export sales of commercial shapes are increas- ing.

 but still extremely weak. 'Well,' said the magistrate, after an honorable discharge had been granted the prisoner, ''as far as New York is con cerned, l would say, come again, and bring all your friends, but for your own sake I would advise you to bring a strong bodyguard along when you visit us next time"
 Do you wonder that New Workers are grasping, and hard, in many cases? If man gets arrested for trying to give money away, what can one expect? How ever, if MT Crede meant to sell his bills for silver dollar each there wasn't a chance to get rid of even one of them. A silver dollar in New York causes no end of suspicion.
 Commissioner Woods has just reported only 4S,277 arrests during the first three weeks of January. and on the strength of this argues that crime conditions in the city have been much improved.
 And as for street accidents, the insig- nificent number of AFT shows that our thoroughfares are almost as safe as a haud-to- hand battle line

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, April 23.-(Special.) )-Under the above caption l recently expalined how difficult it was to give away theatre tickets in this city, but here is an actual occurrence of this week. which shows that New Workers are so suspicious they will not even accept money as a gift:
 The man who tried it was James Crede of Jacksonville, Fla. and he said he was stopping at the Hotel Biltmore, one Of the best hostelries in Manhattan. When the philanthropic mood hit him, MT. Crede was at the intersection of Fifteenth street and Third avenue, and an invit- ing looking soap box on the curb is said to have been responsible.
 At any rate, the Jacksonville man mounted the soap box, announced that he held in his hand thirty $10 bills, each and every one of which he would give to any one who asked him in return for s1 for each of the $10. A crowd soon collected but the wise" New Workers merely looked at the bills and the bill vender, smiled knowingly and passed on. Not one man bought a ten for onel
 On1cer O'Neill finally put an end to the proceedings, and later, before Magis- trate McQuade, in Yorkville court the southerner's bills were carefully examined and found to be all genuine

Says She Now Feels Strong and Has Gained at Least
 Ten Pounds

T had stomach trouble of the worst kind and couldn't eat anything. My stomach felt just like it had a big, hard lump in it all the while. My kidneys and bladder bothered me all the time, too,
 Now. I can eat anything l want and can sleep good. too. I feel stout and strong and can work like 1 did years ago. l have gained, no doubt, more than 10 pounds and everybody says I look good. l know what Tanlac has done for me and l shall always praise it for it is the best medicine anybody could use. T am now on my fourth bottle, and l advise all my friends to take this grand medicine"
 This is the plain, simple statement made a short time ago by Mrs. E. c. Smith, the wife of a well known farmer who lives near Cullman, Ala, on rural route No. B. Mrs. Smith is well known iii that section and everybody who knows Der knows the above statment to be a fact She bought the medicine from F, M. Allison, the well known Cullman druggist, who will also verify her state ment.
 Commenting on the above MT. G. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tanlac, said:
 How can anyone continue to doubt the merit of Tanlac in the face of such pos itive evidence? Here is a woman of
 
 las come forward voluntarily, and says that Tanlac has relieved her of serious troubles after months of suffering.
 But. she is only one in ten thousand of suffering women, or l might say, one hundred thousand who have used il with same gratifying results.
 If anyone has any doubt as to the genuineness and correctness of the thou sands of published testimonials that are now appearing in the leading papers all over the south, all they have to do is to ask the people who have actually used It and find out for themselves.
 Statements like the above are always published right in the town where they are given, where they can be easily in- vestigated and verified
