Glycerine Mixture
Surprises Columbus

The quick action of simple glycer-
inc, buckthorn bark, etc, as mixed in
Adler-i-ka, is surprising. One spoon
full relives ANY CASE of gas on the
stomach or sour stomach. Adler-i-ka
acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel
and removes all foul accumulated
matter which poisoned the stomach.
Often CURES constipation. Prevents
appendicitis. One lady reports she has
no more pain in back of head or gas
on stomach since using Adler-i-ka.
This wonderful medicine is sold in
Columbus by John X. Laws, Druggist.

BY Louisiana Children.

New Orleans-Hearty Endorsement
of the soldiers memorial campaign to
erect a 100000 memorial building to
Louisiana men who died in the great
war has been wired and written to
campaign headquarters at Baton
Rouge by prominent Louisianians
from every corner of the state. Among
the latest to send assurances OF sup
port are John NJ. Parker. Congress
man J. Y. Sanders and Colonel Frank
Stubbs.

arital, the organization Of the state
into districts for the campaign Is well
under way and district chairmen are
enthusiastic over the assurance Of CO.

been started. Coleman Lindsey, state
campaign manager, has just complet-

ed on the campus at Louisiana State
University.
mo more fitting, lasting and useful
testimonial can possibly be given to
the memory of those splendid Amerl-
cans who sacrificed their lives during
the war than the erection of a sulta'
BILE memorial on the splendid grounds
which belong to the Louisiana state
University" wrote John M. Parker.
"It will not only be a constant re-
minder of real patriotism, but an IN
spiration for future generations and
most sincerely hope that there will be
no difficulty whatsoever in securing
the funds needed for this laudable
purpose"
CONGRESSMAN Sanders wrote: Gen
erations yet unborn would be served
by such a building and the memory or
the brave men who gave their lives
for freedom would be kept green by
Louisiana boys and girls who would
be benefited by such building.
You may count on me for any as
sistance I can render and for such
financial assistance as my means Will
permit"
THE memorial will serve not only
as a deserved and fitting tribute to
our soldier dead" wrote Colonel
Stubbs, "but should prove an inspira-
ton to the living and serve to keep
alive the spirit of patriotism which
fear is on the wane in our nation, and
even in our own beloved Louisiana.
"It Is fitting, to, that men like you'
whose loyalty and devotion to Amerl'
can ideals have gound expression In
concrete service and who offered their
bodies and gave their blood in their
country's cause should be the first TO
conceive and inaugurate the worthy

Life and Offer No
Assistance.

old, boy scout, sacrificed his life to
save his mother from drowning.
Ellis, schoolboy living at Paddock
Wood, had been camping at Lesion,

punt to cross the river, Mrs. Snow
pushed out the boat and fell in. Ellis
Immediately sprang into the water
and supported her until she was drawn
to safety up the steep bank.
The boat had drifted away, and be-
ing unable to land easily, the boy
tried to swim to the other side of the
river. Half way across he sank ex-
hausted.
1t was testified at the inquest that
four men standing on the bank saw
the tragedy. but walked away.
