FORTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE
ARE HALE SICK, HE STATE:

Forty percent of the people of this
state are half sick and fully ninety
per cent of these can attribute their
sufferings to stomach troubles.
Such are the main points in Gar
ren's new health theory which has
stirred Milwaukee, where Garren's re-
representatives. have been visiting dur
ing the past week. ''This is due to
modern conditions" said Garren in
an interview
"These people," he added, "have
overworked, rundown digestive or
gans, owing to too little exercise in
the fresh air, and too much hastily
eaten food 1t isn't kidney trouble, or
nervousness, or liver complaint, or doZ-
ems of other diseases invented by i'm
aginations.
"a sound digestive apparatus that
is doing its full duty in getting every
particle of vitality out Of the food is
what makes good health. Only keep
the stomach in condition, and there is
likely to be but little sickness.
"My medicine, Garren's Tonic, is
designed to restore out of whack'
stomachs to normal condition and to
destroy chronic constipation. Thou
sands of people say this is the reason
for my big success and explains why
/ am attracting such an unusual
amount of a:tention all over the state. y

meetings of the association, the last
Friday afternoon in every month.
The association intends going ac-
lively to work with the putting up

appointed to confer with Mr. Otto
Houri, who has the contract for the
erection of the gates, in the en-
deavor to have this work speedily
completed.
Following the meeting of the as

ported that of the 169 Maplewood

Lee School Riddles
Win Prize In Play

Lee school kiddies are deserving
of especial commentator for the
staging of '"The Outlaws of Ell
quetta' at the Dixie, last Friday
evening. An overflow house enjoyed
this performance, which marked the
closing of the city schools.
The stage presence of the children
would have done credit to much
older people. The costumes were
colorful, and the drills and dances
extremely well executed.
Over fifty of the Lee scholars are
being promoted to Atllins-Porter this
term to take their places next fall
among the other grammar school
pupils. The promotion at the half
year session was not made from Lee
to Atkins Porter, account the already
crowded conditions at the latter
school, altho the class now being
promoted have been doing the gram
mar school work at Lee.
Mrs. Harry Greer has made a
popular and capable principle at Lee
the children are very fond of her,
and the Lee faculty have supported
her loyalty Many will regret that
she will not be at the head of the
school again next year. Another
principal will soon be chosen by the
board.

FORMAL PRESENTATION
OF CHARTER RoTARIANs

-
At the regular noon luncheon of
the Rotary Club at the Caldwell
Hotel today, the charter of the club
will be formally presented by e.
j. Barnett of the Clarksville Club,
representing the district governor of
Rotary Clubs.
The local Rotary Club has been
in existence now some three months,
and as the board of directors of the
International Club meets only once
every two months in Chicago, there
has been some lapse in time be-
tween the filing of application for
a local charter and the issuance of
It. There will likely be delegation
here with Mr.. Barnett. There are
Is charter members of the local
club, with j. I. Porter of the Peoples
Coal & Ice Company, president;
w. T. Warren, Jr., vice-president;
]. r. Rison, Jr., secretary, and C.
b. Alden, treasurer. Additional mem
bers can only be accepted at the
rate of three month, and it is
understood the waiting list is al
although it Is not the policy of
Rotary to seek members, but rather
membership in Rotary is sought.
Only one classification of business
or industry can be represented in
any one Rotary Club, and no over
tapping membership to any extent
is permitted. A member, for ex-
ample, classified as automotive rep
resents all such business in any
Rotary city, and so on.
