Dead Stomach
Of What Use ls N?

Thousandsg yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treatment daily.
 They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and In their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws Of nature.
 This Is no sensational statement; R Is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not dehy.
 These thousands of people are swallowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made especially to digest food in the stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stom- ach.
 Ni-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis. tressed stomach in five minutes; they do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough 10 digest it's own food. Then indi. gestion. belching, sour stomach and headache will go.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and by The Lee & Osgood O., who guarantees them.

 Dear Sister and Brother: Will
 write few lines tonight to let you
 all know that am feeling fine and
 hope you all are the same. We cer-
 tain1y are having great weather over here, only two rainy days since we arrived. I don't wear any of my Red Cross outfits now it is so warm. Some of us boys went over and took a swim in the Atlantic the other day. We are situated on a bay right in the centre of a great summer resort. It is like Atlantic City, only smaller. Across the bay from us is a city and most of the houses are of different co1ored bricks. Just at s1ndowf the city looks like one beautiful picture across the bay. The scenery is beautiful over
 here. Also the girls These French Eeyes are enough to set anyone dippy. | What. do you say to French widow for sister -in-law huh ?---. l have been in three camps so far and like l the one that am in now best of them all. am here permanently, SC I am
 satisfied. There are only a few of Jus here now, but expect more soon. We are now building up the camp. We lere putting up the portable barracks together and putting up the hangars by the French government. We only work eight hours a day Evenings we go anywhere we want to: also Saturday or Sunday. There is 8 dif- ference of six hours between the Estates and France since they put the Iclocks ahead. Some difference! Please do not worry over me, sister, as am nowhere near the firing line; haven't Eeven heard a shot since I have been here. That is some gun that the Huns have that carries 75 miles. They say
 that the kaiser drops a souvenir into Paris every fifteen minutes. He did
 that for about eight hours. Probably you will read of it before you get this Sometimes wish that I had gone irf-

 It was just a month ago today since . we landed in France and if see as much of it according to the length oi
 time that I have been here as have seen so far. I will have something 1 to tell you all about. 1 am trying tC

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRRETT

Curley for $500 side bet at Carroll ton. La and had everything his own way. winning in IS rounds--eXactly iS minutes Of fighting. Almost every blow that Gallagher landed sent Curley to the turf. but Curley gamely got to his feet and resumed fighting for F ses- sions But when Cuiiey went down in the eighteenth, he stayed there.
 On August r. 1869, Gallagher grant, ed Allen a return match for side pet of $2000 and the contest was put on 1 in Foster Island. near St Louis. It reused great interest and big throng of sports men from Chicago, St. Louis ! the ringsde, together with the Galla- gher and Allen gangs The climax of that battle was one of the most pecu- liar in ring history.
 Allen had the best of the fight through all of the first 12 rounds, and when Gallagher retired to his corner after the twelfth. he was in such con- dition that Tom Kelly. one of his sec onds. tossed the sponge into the ring, acknowledging Gallagher's defeat AL len, seeing the sponge sailing through the air, rushed over to Gallagher's corner with his hand extended and of fering to shake hands. Gallagher. however. had not seen the sponge thrown into the ring, and when he saw Allen rushing at him with a hand extended, he figured that time had been called for the next round and that Al len was about to attack him.
 So Gallagher junped to his feet and swung blow which cauGht the unpro- tected Allen on the nose. The punch broke small bone. Allen did not fight back, but jumped over the ropes and ran away from the ring. He feared that free-f -for-all fight might result and sought to avoid it.
 The referee. after some deliberation, decided the bout was draw. His de- cisions perhaps was the only fair one that could be made on a fight which had such a weird finish; the second of one fighter tossing the sponge into the ring conceding defeat of his man. followed by the action of the other fighter in jumping out of the ring and running away from the battle-ground.
 That contest was the final one of Gallagher's career and he died about two years afterward of tuberculosis.

BESSEMER NEWS

Bessemer. December 25.-(Special) Christmas Day was celebrated quietly in Bessemer, marked chiefly by the many family gatherings that took place within the city. In contrast to that of last year, wlen people refrained from presenting gifts on account of war conditions, there was a noticeable interchanging of gifts throughout the city. The mails and ex- press have done record business, and it is believed that no happier Christmas has dawned upon Bessemer than today, and with the activity of United Chari- ties Elks, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, it is safe to say that there is not one in the city that has not received some token of the day.
 Boy Scouts, Troop No. 4, presented dolls from their hall this morning, and a committee of Elks made happy many families with their usual generosity. The kddies, always happy at this season of the year, were much in evidence on the streets, riding on brand new "kiddie kars," automobiles and velocipedes and others were skating and drawing wagons and wheel-barrows, while little girls were rolling doll carriages and comparing dolls and displaying new articles of jewelry, all happy that Santa Claus had made an- other visit to their homes.
 Late in the afternoon the whir of motor was heard overhead as an airplane boys agreed that the plane was driven by Santa Claus on his route to the north pole after a very busy period in the dis trict

Later he entered the next camp at Camp Gordon. but due to inflammation which became prevalent in ono of his ears he came home and underwent four operations. before he finally re- ceived the relief which cost him the outer part of his ear, and barred him ft |, FNx. mission in the army.

Recently he was named a major in the national guard of Ala-N z bama to recruit battalion of home guards in Birmingham, which task he was fast completing when calle6 to Montgomery to accept the place o1 adjutant general of the state.
