/ Il BILIOUS ATTACK.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stomach
instead of digesting. This inflames
the stomach and causes nausea, vom-
iting and terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as we'll
as ever. They only cost a quarter.

1t is estimated that when the plans are
completed and put into operation tiece
will be effected a saving of one-third in
the number of passenger trains operated
and that a consequent increase in the
number OF freight trains can BE- made by
the release of passenger locomotives.

cy war measures which would not be
permanently detrimental to the interests
of the trades unioniSt.
The conference passed a resolution

WARNS AGAINST FAv0RIT|SMIN
ENROLLING SOLDIERS UNDER DRAFT

Washington, May 1O.--To dispose Of
any fear that county and city regis
tration boards will exercise favoritism
in enrolling soldiers under the selective
draft act. Provost Marshal General
Crowder issued a statement tonight de-
claring such practices would be virtual
ly Impossible because of the explicit
terms in which the act is drawn. He
warned registration officials that favor
itism easily could be detected and would
be punished with heavy penalties.
Every precaution," said the state
ment, will be taken to make it GER
tain that the registration is conducted
with exact justice.
The law is explicit and allows no
latitude to the boards. either in the
matter of registration or in the later
matter of exemption from service. Ev-
cry man within the age limits fixed by
the selective service act must register
and the penalty of the law for evasion
of registration will fall not only on
the man who fails to appear. but on any
member of a registration board who

and witnessed three good bouts. the
first of which was between Young Lar

seen here for some time. Soldier Bud
Anderson and Young Josephs of Wat

outset Anderson, who still wears the
cauliiower ear that Josephs wished on
him in their last melee. failed to block
right hook, and his car opened up
and bled profusely. both men being
bathed in gore for the duration of the
fight For six wicked rounds they stood
head to head and slammed jolts and
jabs and hooks and swings into each

first six round the honorS were so even

was the winner. So. after they had been
