No More Gas in
Stomach & Bowels

If you wish to be permanently
relieved of gas in the stomach and
bowels, take Baalmann's Gas-Tab-
lets.
Baalmann's Gas-Tablets are pre-
pared distinctly for stomach gas,
and for all the bad effects coming
from gas pressure.
That empty gnawing feeling at
pit of your stomach disappears,
that anxious, nervous feeling with
heart palpitation will vanish and
you will again be able to take a
deep breath, often prevented by
gas pressure against your heart
and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers
won't feel cold and go to sleep be-
sause Baalmann's Gas-Tablets
prevent gas interfering with the
circulation; drowsiness, sleepy
feeling after dinner will be replac-
ed by desire for some form of en-
tertainment. Your distended stom-
ach will reduce because gas will
not form after using Baalmann's
Gas-Tablets.

Package from Brigham's Drug

Newport High Plans
Strong Basketball Team
Continued from Page u

a candidate for a berth on Tie
team this year. AS basket shoot
er, he is probably the peer Of any
school boy in this section of the
state. In case Albee is used at
center, Hill can be used at for
ward, to team along with Gard
ner. In past games, they have
worked the passing game to per-
lection.
The school has two veteran star
guards-both of whom are cap
tains. David Addison of basketball,
and Crawford Lance of footban.
Addison and Lance played in the
back field of Viewpoints gridiron
aggregation this fall and will
both be as hard as nails to begin
the basket ball season.
Coach Walter d. Kipp, an old
Newport High star forward, who
is now assistant principal of the
local institution will coach the
boys, and it is needless to say that
the coaching end will be well up
held. Coach kipp knows all the
ms and outs of the basket game.
1t is understood that a schedule
will be made up that will test the
mettle of the team. The fastest
prep schools in the state will be
played, inasmuch, as the boys are
ambitious to try for the state title.
Crawford Lance is manager, and is
being assisted by Scion Hill, who
was manager two years ago.
A large squad of candidates in
addition to those named are ex-
pected to answer the call of Coach
Kipp in a few days. There will be
a fast second team developed to
fill in for the first quintet, and to
insure a successful team year
hence.

POSTAL ECONOMY
ORCEDBY Mr.. HAYS
Postmaster General Issues
Orders to Effect $751;
100000 Saving.

Postmasters of the country ere in
structed today by Postmaster General
Hays to exercise 1.-The most rigid econ
omy" in the administration of their
offices, to be accomplished by closer
and more efficient supervision.
While aiming at extravasant and
expensive methods which crept in dur
ing the war, positive instructions are
given to postmasters to keep con-
stantly in mind that the service must
not be curtailed or impaired.
New Program.
Postmasters are asked to consider
the revision of schedules of clerks and
carriers: the shifting of forces from
one section to another, according to
the volume of work, and to arrange
the work of the Office so as to avoid
the necessity for overtime work as
we'll as to carefully scrutinize all mis-
cellaneous expenses of their offices.
Through such methods the postal
service is going to save approximately
S15,000.000 from it's appropriations for
the fiscal year, 1922. as announced in
The Star last week.
VIII Save on Carriers.
Mr.. Hays indicates how approx

Looking Ahead

A man can't see an hour
ahead; in one brief hour he may
be dead, from all his labors
gone; life's so uncertain none
can say, "I'll see the finish of
this day, and greet another
dawn" The citizen, in gorgeous
health, goes forth to gather in
some wealth, a buoyant, cheer
full scout; he strides along the
village Street, an airship drops
a sack wheat, and he is fattened
out. Oh, all varieties of doom
are round about us, dumping
gloom upon the human race; !;
our lives we're taking in our
hand, wherever we may walk
or stand, or ride or dance or
chase. And yet along our
course we speed, as though our
lives were guaranteed, for
eighty-seven years; next year
we will insure our lives, and
save some money, that our
wives may eat, if death appears.
Next year, or maybe five years
hence, we'll show we have some
good horse sense, and salt some
coin away; next year We'll
tread the thrifty track and lift
the mortgage from the shack
we're out for fun today. Thus
reason multitudes of jays who
look ahead to countless days
that they may never see; no
man who on this planet rides
can safely bet one hour divides
him from eternity: Let us be
prudent, then, and wise, meet
obligations as they rise, and
cancel every debt; if there are
chores that should be done, oh,
let us do them ere the sun of
this bright day has set.
