AND HE NEVER CAME BACK!
Pursuing Swimmer Had No Idea of
Letting a Chance Like That Get
Away From Him.

There were mutinous murmurs
aboard a certain merchantmen when
word spread among the crew that the
ship would not, after all, put in at
Tahati, but merely drop the mail over
and go on. Tahati, being French soil,
is little island Of liquor in mid-Pa-
cific, and the thirsty men aboard had
been lying awake nights thinking Of
the drinks that lay ahead.
The disappointment was too much
for one seaman, who, uttering a plain
tive cry, leaped into the sea and start
ed to swim for the visible shore. The
captain, much vexed and little CIVIL
Gus, ordered the best swimmer in the
crew to go after him and bring him
back before he reached land. An ex-
cited lookout kept. all on deck posted
on the progress Of the race.
"Hes gaining! He's gaining! Two
hundred yards-a hundred yards-ff-

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, ul.-Thousands Of reports
from people all over the U. s. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out Of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and Of course,
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

BRITISH GENERAL
Is EX0NERATED
General Dyer Relieved
of Responsibility
of Massacre

4 LONDON. = The British army
council has rendered a report com
pletely exonerating General R. E. H
Dyer, former commander of the
British forces in Punjab Province,
India. 1t was General Dyer who
gave the order to a small squad of
soldiers to fire into a crowd of 5000
unarmed Indian civilians until the
ammunition was exhausted.
His exoneration Ly the army cou?-
Gil comes in the face of the majority
and minority reports of the Hunter
commission both of which show his
action to have been unjustifiably
ruthless. Moreover, the India office
had urged his dismissal.
The army councils findings are
said to be based on facts contained
in a written statement by Dyer.
In the Amritsar massacre, some
500 Indian civilians were killed and
1900 wounded
