himself and his wife, he proceeds t,

lasts only while The prospective bride,

considered large enough the wedding
day is set.
In Papanga in the Methodist Epis-

place. The bride walks with an um-

from the sun, and is preceded by q
bridesmaid who carries the garment
the bride wore before marriage. 9th

single file.
After the ceremony the bridal pro-

that the acid eats through the enamel

You can easily imagine then the
amount of damage excess acid will
cause to the delicate organization OF
the stomach!
Thousands of people are using
EATONIC and the results obtained are
so remarkable as 10 be almost unbe-
levable. Yet their letters of graft
tude, many of which are received
daily, prove absolutely that EATONIC
does all and even more than we claim.
The medical profession, too, recog-
nizes the great value of this wonder
full remedy. A learned Michigan doc
tor wrote recently: II have had such
wonderful success with EATONIC that
/ want every one TO know how quick
ly it will neutralize the acidity OF the
stomach (aci6-stomach) and the stom-
ach will soon be sweet and normal
again, and the sick man well and
happy once more"

between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine It is because OF
this close connection that indigestion,

are sure signs of acid-stomach-are SO
often followed by severe attacks OF

Nervousness, sleeplessness, irrltaDli-

many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same rce-acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say II am
so nervous think I'll fly to pieces"
or "It seems never get good nights
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that ACID
stomach is the direct cause OF their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. SO you
see. you can't always judge an ACID

stomach, itself, feels.

Eddie Rousch of the cincinnati Reds,
who pulled down the batting title.
When the 1918 season started scribes
asked, "Where will Hornsby stop?'
Rog asked for big increase in salary
and got it. Jack Hendricks took hold
of the team that spring. 1t never will
be known exactly whether it was the
big pay and publicity of two seasons
or his inability to get along with Jack
Hendricks that caused Rogers to
slump.
Now Hornsby will play under Branch
Hickey this coming season. Hickey
and Hornsby will get along. Hickey is
the kind OF manager who can talk to
the youngster and get results.
If Hornsby hits his old stride again
next summer-if he takes the lead in
batting and infield work most fans
will blame his years lapse on Jack
Hendricks. Hendricks, being out Of
the big league again, will not worry
over the verdict Jack undoubtedly
has his own views, which are enough
for him.
1t will be interesting to watch the
Cardinal star.

RATS DENIzENS OF DESERT
There Are Species That Have Their
Abodes Far From the Habita-
tons of Mankind.

We are accustomed to think of rats
as companions of man; and so they
are, two species of them, the brown
and the black. Also there is the
mouse which is a small kind of rat.
But there are other species which
do not seek human companionship-
tree-dwelling rats and desert rats,
says an exchange. The kangaroo rat
of our Western deserts gets it's name
from it's habit of standing erect and
hopping about on it's hind legs.
The pack rat" has bad reputa-
ton as thief. Campers have to be
constantly on their guard against it's
depredations, inasmuch as it will car
ry off all sorts of small articles and
hide them in it's nest, which Is a
structure of twigs and leaves two or
three feet high. If a spoon is miss
ing the chances are that a pack rat
has eloped with it.
The jumping mouse is a familiar
rodent in the American deserts. It's
name describes its method of locomo-
ton, and it feeds on the seeds of
desert plants.
Biggest of all rats is the 'jerboa, y
which is native to western Asia. II
is as large as small cat and noe
turnal in habit. With very small front
legs, it is built much like kangaroo,
and gets about by tremendous leaps.

Cardinal Shortstop Given Big lncrea So
In Salary by Jack Hendricks Fell

What about Rogers Hornsby In the
1919 campaign in the National league?
National league fans are asking each
other whether Rogers will step up TO
his real gait this coming season or
whether he will continue in the slump
he suffered last season.
Hornsby joined the Cardinals in
1915, but did not receive very much
of chance to get going. But in 1916
he stepped right out in front. He was
the very life of the attack and defense
of the team. His general work at
shortstop and his batting made him
the most talked of player in the cir
cult, if not in the majors.
The mex. season he let out another
notch and again burned up the league.
He batted 1927 and finished second to

Eddie Grant Si|enced
Rough Roofing Texans

#. Mike Donlin, former big
Lacquer, tells the following anec-
dote of Eddie Grant, killed in
action in France:
II never think Of Grant but I
recall a game down in Texas,
where Eddie silenced a crowd
of rough rooters who were kid
ding him. / took q scrub team
of Giants from Marlin up to
Waco one spring and we were
having a tough time with the
Texas leaguers. Grant was
playing third base and the crowd
was 'on him good and proper.
FINALLY, one weather-beaten
fan yelled:
"'Say, Yank, what's your
name anyhow
"'My name? replied Eddie,
why you ought to know it well.
It's Grant. You ought to re-
member my grandfather well.
He was down in this country so
years ago and never lost a
game -
II thought those Texans would
rush us and break up the game,
but Eddie pulled his lines so
good naturally that they laughed
and after that they laid off him."

It's in the Atmosphere.

The seventh-grade pupils. having
just completed a study of the eight
zenith century in American history,
were having a review. "And what"
asked the teacher, "did the American
colonists do in regard to the Articles
of Confederation?
There was company IN the room
and of course the teacher was very
anxious to call on the pupils who
knew. Back at the end of one row
a hand was waving frantically. "All
right, Nina, you may tell u.s."
And a very thin, small voice replied:
"Why, think they put tax on Them"

Use for Paper Waste Product.

Waste hemlOck bark, q material re-
naming after paper manufacturing
and that has been of little or no value,
can be put to use in tanning, accord
ing to officials of the forest service.
The feasibility of using it for such a
purpose was further demonstrated in
recent tests at the forest service labor
atory at Madison, Wis. No great tech
nical difficulty stands in the way of
using this paper mill product for such
purposes, and the product is satisfac-
tory from the tanners standpoint, the
tests show.
