Such Proof As This Should Convince

The public endorsement of a local

w convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the public good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by resident

Proner Food for Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should odopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomaches need to be especially careful
and should eat slowly and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is also i'm
portant that they keep their bowels
regular. When they become 'consti-
pated or when they feel dull and stupid
after eating. they should take Cham

are easy to take and pleasant in effect.

The comany is without question
one Of the foremost companies

by Capt. Clark. who is exceed

fortunate not 10 have a first lieu

nate in having as a second lieu
tenant such an accomplished
military man as our well known
Lieut.. Hundley.
Camp life is much more enjoy
able now than at first, having
had the tents hoored, walled and
screened. The soldiers are paid
three and half a day, (three
meals and a half dollar). We do
our own washing and are buried
free if we die. But in reality if
such fate should befall any of
us the person in possession of
our will would receive about $137.

Strong Murder Case to
 Go to Jury on Thursday

Knoxville, Tenn, May 30-The Strong case in which the defendant, Rush Strong. is charged with the murder Of s. P. Luttrell, Jr., will be turned over to the jury Thursday afternoon, as it is expected that arguments to the jury which were begun Wednesday afternoon will consume the entire morning. Lut- trell, the dead man, was severely ar- raigned this afternoon by attorneys for Strong, while the state attacked the con- duct of the defendant and his wife in their connection with the shooting.
 But one new development was recorded at the session of court this morning, that being state testimony of Mrs. Strong s frequent companionship with Luttreil, witnesses stating that they often ap- peared together in public places. The testimony of Sam Russell that on five or six times he had seen Mrs. Strong in Luttrells company at the place where the latters alleged wrongs against her are said to have been committed, were positively denied by Mrs. Strong, when called to the stand in rebuttal.

 reserve training. We have with this
 company F German police dogs which
 were donated by Todd Ford, now with
 the aviation service in France. He
 trained these dogs, which, by the way,
 are an important part of every ambu-
 lance company, to bring in some of the
 wounded soldiers clothing and then lead
 the men to the place where the wounded
 lie, which is often in a hidden locality
 where they are overlooked by the ambu- lance men. These dogs are highly trained
 and are of nestimable service when
 properly trained. Airdales make the best
 American dogs for such service.
 QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY

MISS ANNIE O'DE[L |S CHOSEN BEAUTY
 AT MILITARY BALL
Bushman Bayne Affair Brings Out Enormous Crowd - Flag Fund
 Quickly Augmented

- Miss Annie Mae O'Dell was adjudged the most beautiful young woman at the Bushman-Bayne military ball last night. The decision came after more than two hours of deliberation by the judges.
 Miss ODell lives at No 5224 First ave- nue, Woodlawn. Immediately after the judgment of the committee was an- nounced, she was called to the rostrum in the center of the ballroom and pre- sented to the guests And the judgment of Sol Caheen, B. B. Burton and George KroX, beauty judges of the occasion, was unanimously approved
 More than 5000 people attended the Brshman-Bayne military ball at the Hip-' podrome last night. The occasion was one of pleasure and patriotism. The uni forms of the army and navy mingling swith the colorful gowns of beautiful women, against background of Ameri- can flags, made scene of peculiar splen- dor.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock the grand march began with Miss Bayne and Major Yeat- man and Mir. Bushman and Mrs. o. R. Hundley leading, followed by patron- esses and escorts Music was furnished by the Second Regiment band and David sons orchestra.
 A novelty of the occasion was when Francis x. Bushman and others seized the large American flag to be erected by the Civic association in Capitol park and marched around the ballroom to the step of "Dixie.' "Who wouldn't give everything he had to the grand old f1agT' shouted Mir. Bushman as he threw a handful of bills into the center of the flag. His example was immediately fol- lowed by others and for few moments coins beat a tattoo upon it like the pen nes tossed upon the Salvation Army drum on the street corner
 MT. Bushman and Miss Bayne will re- main in the city until tomorrow.
