BIRMINGHAM MAN
Gets FINE YACHT

Moored at the city's Magnolia street
dock yesterday the fine 67-foot pri-
vate yacht Merry Mac" hailing from
Chicago, attracted much attention.
Although lately owned by a wealthy
man named MCGUIRE, in the Windy
City, the MERRY Mac" while at Fort
Myers, Fla, few days ago, was pur-
chased by A. Bissen a coal man, Of
Birmingham, Ala, and the fine craft
is now on her way to the Magic City.
Members Of the crew stated that they
would have not trouble getting up
the river at this season Of the year.
On the way to Pensacola from
Apalachicola into which port the
yacht put in for a short stay, the
Merry Mac" had a touch of bad
weather, running into the teeth Of
a southeaster, which continued with
force until Pensacola bay was reach
ed. 1t was a relief, they confessed,
when they moored safe and sound,
for the night in Pensacola bay.
At Palafox wharf, the "RickwOod, "
owned by the Woodwards, of Birm-
i79ham, IS roored, and the two yachts
attracted considerable attention. The
Fleetwood" has been here several
days, but expects to go to Birming-
ham early next week.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t is
also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to streng-
then the stomach and move the bow
els. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect.-Adv.

CHURCH Plan
Woodward to Address Meet
ing Called for Next Satur-
day as Part of Yearly
Meeting Program.
ALL URGED TO ATTEND

Quakers, within conscription ages,
from parts Of three states, will meet
with Walter c. Woodward, general
secretary Of the American Friends. at
the East Main Street Friends church
Saturday afternoon, 1t was announced
Monday
All men, who are members Of the
Friends church and are within con-
scription ages, living in Eastern Ind
lana, Southern Michigan and part Of
Western Ohio. which is within the
Jurisdiction OF the Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends. are requested to
come to Richmond for the meeting.
Announcement Of the meeting was
made before members of the Ministry
and Oversight committee Of the Ind
lana Yearly Meeting Of Friends at East
Main Street Friends church Monday
morning, and delegates requested to
notify the men in their church Of the
meeting.
Called To Explain Plan.
The meeting has been called, it Is
understood. for the purpose Of notify
ing the men who are liable for military
service under the selective service law,
OF just what steps the Friends
churches are taking to have Friends
assigned to war relief work, not con-
nected in any way with active military
service.
Members Of the church emphasized
the fact that the meeting Is not called
for the purpose Of forming an organ
ization to resist the draft law.
The meeting is called for the sole
purpose, they said, Of informing the
men selected for army service of what
steps the church is taking to have
them assigned to strictly non-combat-
ant duties.
No advice will be given them as to
whether they should serve in the army
but the teaching Of Quakers for the
last 200 years always has opposed
war
Some time ago 8. Edgar Nicholson,
editor Of the American Friend, official
organ of the Friends Church in Amer
lea, made the announcement that It
was his belief that many Quakers
would go to prison sooner than partici-
pate in the army as belligerents.
$500 Within Ages.
Walter G. Woodward, general secre-
tary of the Friends in America, esti-
mated that there are approximately
$500 Friends within conscription
ages, within the jurisdiction Of the In
diana Yearly Meeting.
The following statement, regarding
the meeting, was made:
Many young Friends, who have
been called are uncertain as to what
disposition the government expects to
make Of conscientious objectors ex-
empted by the Selective-Service act.
So many rumors have accumulated as
to rulings made by the government
that much perplexity exists among the
young men as to their actual status
and as to what course they should pur-
sue.
"A conference OF such men in In
diana Yearly Meeting has been called
