PROPER FOOD FOR WEAK STOM
ACHS

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
masticate their food Thoroughly. It 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 strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels. They
are easy to take and pleasant in effect.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1e.-Coal

But this year conditions have
changed. Motive power for railroads

as quickly as possible. Therefore out
of consideration for public needs we
are calling on the u. NJ. w. of Am.

J. Donahue, Bishop OF Wheeling sent
the following letter to the priests Of
the diocese whose parishes are II

Rev. Dear Father:-In view
of the scarcity of coal in various
parts Of the country and OF the
consequent great suffering, we
earnestly request that you urge
members of your congregation
engaged in local mining. not to
give up their work during the ap-
preaching season. when cars are
standing ready to be filled.
The situation in some places
is desperate, families having
hardly enough fuel to cook their
food or keep themselves warm in
this rigorous Weather.
You will kindly explain to
your congregation the circum-
stances which permit manual la
Dor on holidays of obligation, es-
pecially after they have duly dis.
charged their religious duties.
Yours faithfully,

Almost Half the Jurymen
: Have Scruples Against
Capital Punishment.
WILL CALL MORE MEN
Court Not Anxious to Have
Case Pending Over
Christmas.

Lack OF sufficient Jurors tied up the
trial of Willie G. Morgan. charged
with fatally shooting Fernando
Thorn and Harvey Hayhurst, this
morning before Judge Raymond. Az
ter twenty.seven jurors claimed that
they had conscientious scruples,
oply twenty-eight remained. This
made no allowance for the shrinkage
due to relationship to any Of the par.
ties involved in the case or for those
who had formed an opinion as to the
guilt or innocence Of the accused:
Trying to avoid steering into the
Christmas season Judge Raymond di.
rected that the trials be resumed on
Thursday morning, December 81.
Judge Raymond was DESTROYS Of hav-
ing the Jurors spend their Christmas
at home in family circles and did not
like to see them tied up in case.
All jurors qualifying and witnesses
were directed to be in the court house
on that morning without further no.
tice by the authorities. Within the
next few days special cell will be
made for seventy.five Jurors. Deputy
sheriffs will then be busy summon.
ing these Jurors to the court house.
No additional jury trials are down
for this term and only routine matters
that come up before the court will
be disposed of. 7i5ss
Willie 9. Morgan and Walter Con.
Mute were brought into the court
room by the county officers at 1920
O'Clock. They were seated on chairs
inside OF the bar railing. Mr.. Nor
gan shook hands with his counsel.
Major Nicely before sitting down,
There were 300 people in the court
room. The attendance in the Con.
Mute case varied. One day scarcely
$50 people would be in attendance
and then again the court room would
be packed.
Fifty.five Jurors were called. Judge
Raymond told them that they were
not empanelled for any particular
case but asked them II any Of their
number had conscientious scruples
against the death penalty II the evi.
dence would warrant the same.
The percentage OF scruples ran
about fifty per cent. Just as 1t had in
the Commute case. or the first
TWENTY-FIVE jurors called 10 expressed
conscientious scruples. OF the sec.
ond % called, IL had conscientious
scruples and on the last eleven five
had conscientious scruples.
