The testator's only surviving
son, Capt. W. W. Wallace. has

There are millions of people who suffer almost daily from the horrors of ofanacid-stomach-indigestion; an sour, gassy, stomach; distressing heart burn; sickening food-repeating; pain ful bloat and that miserable, putfed up, lumpy feeling after eating. Many of these people have tried treatment after treatment; medicine aftermed cine; others have gone to doctors and stomach specialists and some to hospitals but in spite of all of their efforts they have obtained no lasting relief or permanent cure.
 These symptoms simply mean acid stomach. If allowed to run on, they are very likely to cause a lot of ser- ious trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, splitting headache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleeplessness, mental depression, mel ancholia, a feeling of listlessness and all-goneness-thes are just few of the disorders which can be traced to acid-stomach. As a matter of fact, acid-stomach is often the direct cause of those almost incurable conditions known as catarrh of the stomach, irl- testinal ulcer, and cancer of the stom- ach. The lives of those who suffer from theseserious troubles are nothing short of daily agony. Surely, then, you must see how important 1t is to go at once to the seat of the trouble
 -acid-stomach. You know what acid

Make This Test For
 Acid Stomach

mouth does to the teeth-how it eats right through the hard enamel and causes them to decay. Think then of the havoc that must be caused by excess acid in the stomachi |
 Even if you are not suffering any immediate stomach pains, but are not feeling just as fit and fine as you should, you should by all means make this test: go to your drug store at once and get big box of EATONIC. It is in the form of pleasant-tasting ta5lets-you eat them like bit of candy. EATONIC is prepared for just one purpose - correcting acid stomach by driving out the excess acid. EATONIC literally absorbs the excess acid. It brings instant re- lief from the pains of indigestion, heartburn, belching, sour, gassy stomach, bloat, etc. It makes the stomach pure, sweet, cool and com- fortable, puts it in a normal, healthy condition, so that your food is proper ly digested. You need every bit of strength you can possibly get out of the food you eat--and EATONIC helps you get it.
 Don't put this test off if you value your future good health and happi- ness. You run no chance at all be- cause EATONIC is absolutely guar anteed to give you relief or your druggist will refund your money. The cost is a mere trif1e.

 Pitts to Coach
LoCAI-By WIRE

Auburn. March s-(Special )--En- tire Auburn is already gossiping about
 the Tigers pigskin eleven of next fall
 Rumors and a few facts seem to indi- cate that the Plainsmen will have the
 greatest football team in the history
 of the college, and that's saying some
 thing.
 The renowned "Boozer' Pitts, famous
 in football circles several years ago, is
 back in Auburn after several months at
 the front and has entered into the plans
 for making next falls eleven one of the
 best in the country. He will assist
 Donahue in coaching the team and
 will also have charge of a supply store
 for the students which is being started
 under the auspices of the Athletic asso-
 citation. , It will be known as the Co., |, operative store and the profits derived from it will be used to make additional fixtures about the gymnasium. It IS with great elation that followers of the Orange and Blue learn that Lieu tenant Pitts is to assist the diminutivo Mike" Donahue in shaping up next years eleven and it is thought that great results will be forthcoming.
 As to the material for the '19 team there are many of the old players of the '16 and IT teams back in harness Among these are Lieut.. John Herman Trapp, who starred at the quarterback position for the Tiger in 1917. Trapp is back at college after sojourn l in the army and is in exceNent shape | for the coming season.

Moley Signs Another
 Young MOundsman

The Barons have obtained a young pitcher by the name of Haid from the Pittsburg Pirates, according to word received here yesterday. Just where Mr. Haid halls from or what he has done to merit promotion to this company was not stated inthe com munication from Moley an nouncing his acquisition, but the chubby pilot made bold to assert that the gentleman possessed all the qualifica- tions of a regular hurler.
 Moley also stated that his visit to Pittsburg was fruit ful in that he made very sat isfactory arrangements with President Dreyfus to take on several Pittsburg young sters as soon as they were ready to be weeded out. The Baron manager declares that he is going to give Shehann a tryout at first base as we'll as Bernsen, but that another good candidate will be se- cured to compete with these two for the initial position.

 with all the intimate history of pugilism Nineteen years ago Ed Dunkhorst,
 known as the Human Freight Car.' was looked upon a absolutely impervious to knockout wallop. Dunkhorst beaned something beyond 900 pounds and was human mountain. In the years previous Ed had gone against some of the heaviest hitters in pugilism but none could make real impression upon him. And then came Bob Fitzsimmons. Bob took on the Human Freight Car while the sporting world gasped at his daring. The freckled warrior spotted' Dunkhorst something like 150 pounds,
 and then, in the second round, planted a punch 10 inches deep ilkp the stomach Of Dunkhorst, whereupon Nne human moun- tain took flop and remained unconscious 1 for nearly a half hour.

 165 pounds at any time during the prime of his career. He displaced just about
 that poundage in 1904, when he went
 against Herr Packs, the European war
 rior, who in size and bulk was very much on the order of Jess Willard today. All the wiseacres figured that Mccoy would
 be murdered But the Kid rammed home a punch in the second round that

tie man was almost unmarked, while Morris was a pitiful Spectacle.
 The toughest fight that Jack Johnson had to wage for victory was that against Stanley Ketchell in 1909. They met in Colma. Cal, an oddly matched pair. Johnson weighed close to 220 and Ketchell was heavy if he went beyond 165. John son had it on Ketchell three inches in height and many inches in reach. It looked like walkaway for Johnson.
 But Stanley Ketchell hit Johnson harder in that fight than Johnson ever had been hit in any contest from the time that Choynski knocked him out in 1903, until Willard duplicated the trick in 1915 Ketchell flattered Johnson and time and again drove the negro around the ring. The superb endurance of Johnson only saved the negro from being dethroned by the little fellow.
 Joe Choynski was one of the greatest hitters that ever stepped into the ring. Ali through the years of his greatness he fought men either taller or much heavier than himself. But Joe triumphed time and again with knockout blows It seemed that the bigger his opponents, the easier time he would have with them.
 Charlie Mitchell created the biggest sur prise in the bygone days of pugilism by holding John l.. Sullivan to draw in 39 rounds in Chantilly, France. in 1888. Mitchell was the first man up to that time who, over distance route, had foiled the mighty Bostonian. And the maddening feature. from John LIS view point was the fact that Miehell was not only shorter than himself, but nearly 4o pounds lighter.
 Matchings of little fellows with the big ones has demonstrated in the past that the little fellow with hitting power al- ways has a splendid chance with the pig uns." If Fitzsimmons, Mccoy, Choynski and the other little men could flatten giants, isn't 1t logical to assume that Dempsey, even larger than any of the iIlustrious "knock 'em dead" group and with a punch seemingly more fearful, has A glorious chance against the huge cham nion?
