NO YOU enjoy your meals? Eat

effects?
Lack of appetite, and a disgreeable,
sick-at-the-stomach feeling after meals,
usually indicate that your digestive
organs are not working properly. As
a result, you will feel weak, lose weight
and lack the energy that is to be de-
rived from well-digested food.

BASE BALL BEE
BUZZING AMONG
AMATEURS HERE.
Dennison. Higgins. Wavriin
And Lawler Are Doping
Out Their Prospects.

Many of Omaha's old-time ANA
teur base ball players and managers
OF championship teams, some of
whom have been out of the harness
for the past several years, will make
an appearance on the base ball field
of battle during the season of 1920.
That has been the gossip during
the past week and it is expected that
before many more days these old
timers will be signing their teams for
the coming season.
The announcement last week that
John Dennison is contemplating
budding out this year at the helm of
another fast ball club is practically
responsible for the action taken by
these other discarded managers and
players.
Following close on Dynamo
Johns" announcement comes an as
sertion from Earl Higgins, former
president of the Greater Omaha
league, who says if Dennison heads
a team this season he himself will
get his old club, the TIE Be Ce's, to-
gether and play Jawn,s aggregation
every Sunday if he so desires.
Joe Wavrin, former vice president
of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball
association, is figuring on entering
a team in the race for championship
honors this season. Joe, however.
is uncertain at the present time
whether he will have Class A team
in the field or semi-pro.
Manager Eddie Lawler of the
crack Murphy-Did-Its, last seasons
Greater Omaha pennant winners,
city. Class A and western amateur
baseball champions, announced yes
terday he is as yet undecided about
his lineup for the coming year. 1t
is, however. certain that the Muir
phys will be represented in the
Greater Omaha league this season,
but he announces that he is unable to
state much about the prospects until
he holds another conference with
Bert Murphy, backer of the team.
Bert is at the present time on busi-
ness trip in the east and is expected
to be back in few days.
Directors of the Municipal ANA
teur Base Bali association will prob
ably meet this week or the first part
of next week, at which time they
will discuss plans for the coming
season.

France, against the American in

Adoption Was Sudden.

England's adoption of a new and

astounding.
/, A week before the fight it was
said practically no betting was being
done, because there was nothing in
the country but Beckett money.
Two days before the fight the situa-
tion had changed but little. Every
body saw Beckett the winner.
Everybody scorned the advantage Of
odds which were available if they
wished to bet against their own
country. So far as could be ascer-
tained, betting on the Frenchman
Just wasn't being done.
Then Paris began to vote and the
odds disappeared, but on the morn
ing of the fight only one leading
sport writer had the courage to pick
the Frenchman. One suspects that
certain canny Britishers had by this.

and quietly put money on the

Needed No Fixing"
There was, in fact, rumor afloat
in the hotels just before the fight
that it had all been fixed" and that
the Frenchman was to win. "Lav

passed about. But if the Frenchman
