Winning reached the spot in time to
see two men pounded to their knees.
Then he approached the five young men
and advised them, If they wanted to
continue their play. that they'd better
retire to a vacant lot and not disturb
the neighbors.
The belligerents. chatting amiably
walked to Crosson Field. northeast cor

NAVY OFFICERS ENROLL
Merchant Marine Needs More Mel
to Hold Commissions

Many naval officers who have been
honorably discharged from the service
are taking advantage of the shortage Of
officers in the merchant marine and
are enrolling in large numbers daily,
according to William G. Rice, local
chief of the service bureau, in the
Bourse Building. Notwithstanding the
large number who already have signed
up for service, many more are needed
Rice declared yesterday.
Another type of ships officer which
shipping board officials are particularly
anxious to reach are those who have
retired from sea duty and are now hold
ing positions ashore. An appeal has
been made to their patriotism in the
emergency which has arisen, and, while
many have responded, there are still
many good, lucrative berths aboard ship
with the brightest prospects for pro
motion.

Weekly Health Talks
GOING BACK TO NATURE
By DIR. W. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 60
20 get well Is to go back Something
grows out Of the ground In tho form
of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not.
Animals, 1t would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth In the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root Of
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills,
that he called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You must understand that when your in
bes1hes are sloPPSu ny, poiScnS anu &c
eayed matter are imprisoned in your sys-
TEN, and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep,
your skin may break out, your appetite de-
clines, you get tired and respondent As
q matter of fact, you may get sick all
over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering is? All that is often needed is
few of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and health. Try them
by all means. They are probably the very
thing you need right now.
