At an early age, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. He handled rail-
road baggage. One day after deliver
ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt a pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and it was not long
before the young man noticed the
swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All sur
geons know that hernia operations,
with auaesthetics, etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover. it is
a well established fact that many rup-
ture operations are not successful; the
bowel soon breaks through the sewed-
up opening and protrudes worse than

Like most others, Mr.. Pullen de-

to be considered. too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourage

who, to his sorrow. gave him even less
hope. 1t was pointed out to the young
man that unless the rupture were 'per-
fectly held all the time or the sur
geon's knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in the rupture with further complica-
lions. or the dreaded strangulated
hernia which kills so many ruptured
people.

The victim bought a truss, a hard,
spring-like affair. the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an

Bessen1er Tigers
 Take Easy Game

Bessemer High School defeated Blount County High in the first game of their gridron season by the score of 45 to O. The Tigers goal never was in danger as the ball was kept continually in Biounts territory.
 The eleven from the wilds of Blount county had a team as heavy as Bes- semer, but lacked the punch ih the back field to carry the ball anN distance. The plunging of Salters and long end- runs by Hawkins, Odde and Rusle proved too much for the line from Blount, and they went across their opponents goal line almost at will.
 In the last quarter. Coach Harris be- can to send in the scrubs who were not satisfied with the damage that the first team had Ninflicted, but added two more touchdomns to the already large score of Bessemer by an intercepted pass and straight line bucking.
 The team from Blount fought hard throughout the game. but was outclassed from the start to the finish. At times she showed signs of power that is wait ing to be developed by more coaching and training.

OUR DEBT TO THE SUN.

The unusually cloudy November that
We have just passed through makes
one realize 20 some extent the pre-
dictament we should be in il the great
luminary should go out entirely Yet
hardly so either for this old world Of
ours would be within a week or less be
ice cold and more SO.
1t is hard TO realize the size of the
sun Its diameter is nearly a million
miles, II it were hollow and the earth
in the middle Of it. the moon could re-
volve around the earth as il does now
and still be only about half way out
to the surface The heat it sends out
is also inconceivable. each square foot
of surface sends out energy at the
rate OF ten thousand horse power.
far more than any furnace we can
make, many times as much, and this
it keeps up year in and year out and
has done so for no body knows how
long. Elk
