Man and Mother-n-

Freed by Court
Her Daughter Married Again
and How Can She Furn-

Asks Judge.

ing a man from marrying his

week on the charge of violating
the Kentucky statute forbidding
such marriages and providing a
a fine of from $500 to SIS. 900 and

"Thornton's divorced wife. now
his daughter-in-law, has mar
ried again; and how can one
daughter furnish her mother
with two legal" sons-in-law?'
County Attorney Wickliffe will
carry the case to the highest
court. Law is law. Once a
mother-in-law always a mother
in-law," he said, Il will take the
case before the grand jury.
Judge Lang was sitting only as
an examining court
Judge Lang's opinion was
lengthy. He concluded by stat
ing: The incongruity of this
statute is manifest and it would
not stand the test of the higher
courts, nor before the court of
public opinion. "
He advised the defendants,
however, that they might reme-
dy the tangle by remarrying in
a state where the laws were not
so stringent. This they indicat-

procedure is attempted.

Billy Sunday
Picks AnBible
Foot Ball Team
Bars Goliath Because He
Needs Team Work and
Giant Was Enemy

Here's an all-Bible football
team which Billy Sunday picked
for Tech men in Jacksonville:
Let's see," said Billy, I'm
going to pick my center first.
Samson is, without the shadow
of a doubt, the man for center.
A guy who could pull down the
pillars of the temple would be
hard to get through.
The best man for quarter.
back is Solomon. the wisest gink
of history. He would of course
call the signals on the team.
my two halfbacks are Jona-
than and David. They were
great team workers and had
much speed. ;"
Billy had in mind a man for
fullback, but couldn't think of
his name right off the bat.
He would be a bearcat for
fullback." said Billy. because
when he went out to kill a bear
he would kill him by falling on
him. Give me that Bible again,
Ma"
And after a FIVE minute search
Billy found what he was looking
for. His name was Beniah, "
said Bill. That's the bird |
want for fullback.
At tackles Billy placed Jacob
and Esau, and at guards Gideon
and Nehemiah. the latter being
the man who built the walls of
Jerusalem. For the ends he
chose Daniel and Joseph.
"Why did you leave Goliath
off your team?" he was asked.
Il am picking gang for team
work" replied Billy. That
guy belonged to the enemy"
Billy's all-star Old Testament
team follows: ls. a..
Samson, center.
Daniel, end.
Joseph, end.
Gideon, guard.
Nehemiah, guard.
Jacob, tackle.
Esau, tackle.
Solomon, quarterback.
David, halfback.
Jonathan, halfback.
Beniah, fullback.

STOP HEADACHE
REMOVE CAUSE
Your Money Back While You
Wait at Counter if Aspironal
Elixir Does Not Relieve In Two
Minutes. Absolutely Safe.

You can save half an hour or more
of headache pain by taking the new
Asrironal Elixir instead of the slow
acting tablets that have to wait so
long to be digested and absorbed. AS
pironal being liquid acts almost in
stantly and is preferred by the doc
tors for the reason that it is not
dangerous to the heart.
The next time you have a headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half dollar for bottle of
Aspironal; tell him to serve you two
teaspoonsful in a little water. With
your watch in hand count off the min
utes and call for your money back, as
per manufacturers guarantee, if you
can't feel your headache fading
away within the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they
know it acts so much quicker, with
out the slightest danger to the heart
and because it removes the cause of
bilious and sick headaches by its gen.
tie action on the liver. Aspironal cor
rects biliousness and constipation,
thereby preventing the return of your
headache next day. All druggists in
vite and expect you to try Aspironal,
so don't be bashful. Everybody is do
ing it. Same guarantee applies to
colds, coughs and neuralgia. adv

PRETTY COMPLIMENT PAID
THE MEN OF AMERICUS.

Mrs. Alonzo Richardson, who at
tended the Third District conven-
ton of clubs in Americus April
1914. and who made a synopsis Of
her impressions of the various club
meetings she attended on her ltln-
erarv. paid the men of Americus a
pretty compliment in her article on
Sundays club page in the Atlanta
Constitution. She says:
"The Third district meetings were
held in the new club house at Amer
icus. The house in the midst of eight
acres of ground bought by the men,
and given to the wOmen-the house
to be a community center, the
grounds the municipal Fairgrounds.
This was the formal opening and 1t
quite made me feel that other cities
were as progressive as Atlanta, and
smarter, for the men Of Amercus
bought the property!
"In every meeting community
singing was a feature, reported
everywhere as regular thing
throughout the districts.
"The federated spirit was Won
derfully manifested in the meetings
in Americus, and the hospitality
lovely"
Mrs. Richardson gave an inspira-
tional talk while in Americus, and
her influence was felt solidly
throughout the entire session.

Hair Deadened By
Using Poor Shampoos

You cannot exercise too much care
in selecting a shampoo. Poorly pre-
pared mixtures, shampoos, pastes and
emulsions containing an excess of
alkali deadens the hair, takes away
it's life and lustre and in many in
stances causes it to turn white. Shu-
co Shampoo is a perfect saponifca-
ton of a blend of the highest refined
cocoanut and palm oils suspended in
a solution just right to give health,
vigor and lustre to the hair.
Two or three teaspoonfuls applied
to the wetted hair and rubbed brisk
ly will at once change into a sparkl-
ing, creamy, bubbling bushel of la
ther which vanishes at once all dirt
and dust, rids the scalp of dandruff
and leaves the hair lustrous, soft,
wavy and brilliant. Your mirror will
tell you why Shuco Shampoo makes
hair with thousand lights. At all
