ANOTHER GERARD CASE

Montgomery. June 26.- (Special) Because the judge gave the state an affirmative charge, the court of ap- peals Tuesday afternoon reversed the case of Ben Edmunds in which Ed munds was convicted of violating the prohibition laws at Girard, Russell county, sentenced to 30 months at hard labor and fined a total of $2500 The court said the lower court invaded the province of the jury when it said that the jury, if it believed the evidence offered by the state, must bring in a verdict against Edmunds
 William l.. Martin, attorney gen. eral, announced that an application for rehearing would be filed in an er- fort to show that the courts remarks were not an invasion of the jury's duties. He contends that the charge was not specifically an affirmative one for the state.
 This is the last of the cases grow ing out of the liquor raids at Girard last year. In the other cases the Judgments against the defendants were sustained but the court returned the cases to Russell county in order that the defendants might be given terms in the penitentiary instead of at hord labor.

city government which permits a person to take an immunity bath, which consists of pleading guilty and paying the minimum fine of $50," said Attorney General Martin. However, it must be said that conditions now are better than they were last year, when the state made the raids. I believe Sheriff Lindsey is making an honest effort to prevent violations of the law and know that he has spent much money personally in attempting to break up the sale of liquor. He IS making raids regularly and the sue cess of his campaign is shown by the announcement of one of the most mo- torious dealers that he could not stand two raids in one week and intended to move to Mobile"
 Girard recently voted to abandon the aldermanic system in favor of the commission form of government thus throwing out of office the city off . cials who had been named by the re- form element following the attorney generals campaign. The present com mission of Girard was named by Gov ernor Henderson

they hate the idea of anything, will
not agree to this universal system of
training for our young men. because
they think it means a concession to
the war spirit"
The campaign against militarism
has made a few ordinarily sane and
sensible people misdirect their zeal,
and spend effort and money trying to
abolish certain things that in normal
times. when their vision was clear,
they might consider excellent 1t is
as though there were a wave of ma
tional interest in prize fights, and in
, endeavoring to combat that national
attitude certain organizations said,
We must abolish competitive games
in the schools. They breed and slim
ulate the fighting instinct.
do not believe that training Amer
lean young men to carry themselves
well and to fight side by side il need
be would make us any more likely to
want to go to war. If that is true,
then the converse Is true, and we will
not want to go to war just because we
are not able to tight In other words,
we would stay out for cowardly rea-
sons. 1 do not believe that the uni
versal drill in Switzerland makes
Switzerland a bully, anxious to leap
into trouble with other small states,
service in France made France any
more anxious for this war that was
! thrust upon her. I think that univer-
sal service in France helped to make
splendid fellow of the average young
Frenchman, outstanding, clear-eyed,
loyal to his country, and free from
that cheap cynicism we so often find
here. Universal training in a republic
is different thing from militarism in
Germany. You cannot make a Germany
of the United States simply by COM
pelling all of our young men to spend
half year or a year in healthful and
disciplinary training under the govern
ment. We had a large standing army
at the end of the civil war, but it did
not make more men anxious to follow
the profession of arms. All of our ma
ttonal history proves that our men
have been willing to fight when the
need arose. and more than willing to
take up the tools of peace when the
fighting was over.
Our greatest source Of weakness
now as a nation lies in the fact that
we become less homogeneous every
year. We are struggling to assimilate
our new citizens. and one of the great
est injuries that we do them is TO give
them everything in the way of free
dom and opportunity and ask no SER
vice in return.
This great world-war has apparent
ly brought democracy to Russia An
other good may come out of this great
evil, If, when the war passes over, II
leaves US with some nationwide
method of claiming year OF loyal ma
tional service from every man in the
land.

TO CURE Me-"
Mrs. Magarity Also Relieved

II had gsstritis till was almost afraid
to look at a dinner. and no matter how
hungry I was, 1 always suffered so after
eating that It was hardly worth it,
couldn't sleep, either, and was as nervous
as a witch, with headac ches almost all the
time and a constant trouble from consti-
patton. In fact. that was one OF my
worst troubles, and the thing I'm most
glad to be rid of.
Il only needed the first bottle to prove
to me that what I'd been looking for I'd
found! And I can tell you I'm mighty
glad 1 did, too! You know a person gets
mighty tired going without good things
to eat just because she knows she's 60

you can't sleep-that caps the climax.
Nothing like that, now, can assure you.
I've made an improvement I'm proud Of
and I'm only too glad to give all the
credit to Dreco, for it's proven a wonder

glad to state Il for the benefit of others
who may be suffering in the same way.
My appetite's as good as when / was

You can refer anybody at an to me.
