DrQlDS His Gun On Mayor
 And Is Fined and Jailed

Herbert Sease, in mayors court this morning, plead guilty to the charge of carrying a pistol and was fined $20O and given 90 days in jail.
 At the conclusion of this trial he was arraigned before Esquire Frank Foushee and tried on the charge of assault and drawing gun on Mayor A. T. Hubby. Hon. Gustave Jones represented the defendant and the state was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Earl Casey and Judge O. w. Scarborough. Defendant asked for jury trial which was granted.
 From the evidence in the justice court it seems that defendant by his suspiciocs actions and the fact that he and two negroes carrying heavy suit-cases were partially blocking the walk at the rear of the opera house attracted the attention of May or Hubby, who was on his way down town to attend Red Cross meeting.
 MT. Hubby went over to where this bunch was congregated and upon his approach, defendant ran, entering the back yard in the rear of Clyde Woods pool room and started up the rear stairway of the building. MT. Hubby, who was in close pursuit,

WHY WE DO WITHOUT FLOUR.

The order limiting the consumption of flour to six pounds per capita per month is made statewide by order of Hamp Williams, state food adminis- trator. The order will be enforced throughout the country, and in some states, the use of wheat bread will be discontinued entirely voluntarily by the people, in order to supply bread for the soldiers. It is general ly understood why the soldiers must be provided with wheat bread abroad. They must have a bread that can be used for days after it's preparation, and, besides, it is hard to keep corn meal for any length of time, while flour can be kept indefinitely, and wheat bread will be palatble as prepared for the army for days and weeks.

asked him where he was going and what he was doing. With an oath defendant told him it was none of his business and drew a gun on him and threatened to shoot him. He repeated this threat after MT. Hubby told him he was an officer.
 It takes more than ordinary cour- age and nerve to stand in front of a gun in the hands of a strange man threatening to shoot, and to follow him, unarmed, until assistance ar rives. MT. Hubby gave the alarm at thepool room and then trailed Sease through the alleys until he was final ly arrested by Night Policeman Ben Sandmon, in the yard of the Stephens residence on Main street.
 The jury in the justice court was only out a few moments when they returned verdict of guilty, fixing the punishment at $1,000 fine and one year in jail.
 Defndant through his attorny served notice of appeal, pending which he was placed in jail.
 Speedy trial and when found guil- ty, giving the maximum sentence un- der the statute should lessen this kind of misdemeanors.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another. Ev-
cry one should adopt diet suited
to his age and occupation. Those
who have weak stomachs needs to
be especially careful and should
eat slowly and mastcate their
food thoroughly. It is also i'm
portant that they ksep their
bowels regular. When they be-
come ccnstipated 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 cf-
feet.
